  1. This disaster could easily have happened a few yearsearlier when Saints visited in the FA cup, for some resonwe took thousands up andthat end was a crush. It was pretty lucky somethig similar did not happen
  2. He had the group of players who are in charge in the dressing room. Look at the players he brought in, yes Rodgers has blended them,but by now if we had kept him we would hve had a decent team. Sadly his lack of English and the fans not giving him slack cost him
  3. schoolboy error there Mack, always best to wait until the games over lol
  4. Yep and I assume the others don't throw unrelated answers to questions lol
  5. ive watched the whole game on TV and don't think we were as poor as a lot have stated on here. You have to understand what nerve/being tense does to your game and there was so much pressure on the team. It was bound to affect the way we performed. JWP did get stuck in and did ok. Sky gave him mom and said it wasn't just down to his goal. Good to hear how much Kevin Phillips and Jamie Redknapp said how good the fans and atmosphere at the stadium could be. Funny how we have got revenge for the handball goal at Watford a few seasons back. Ings gave his all and it was good to see how much it meant to the players Hopefully now we have a monkey off our backs we can perhaps play a bit better at home
  6. How many years does a try take to grow from a seed?? When people say plant a tree I always assume that it is a sapling. In theory I must plant 100,000s a year as the frigging great big copper beech I have in my garden shifts seeds every year
  7. I just watched a bit of his car rash interview and noticed the same
  8. I have no problem paying a bit more tax,if it finds the right destination. I would be happier if it meant more people lifted from paying tax at the lower levels. They work hard and need to feel it is worthwhile. Only last week someone I know was offered a promotion and payrise but turned it down as they would loss benefits ,is this how it all should work?
  9. At the end of the day it seems to me that JC has a lot of time for the Palestinians and so may well not appreciate Israel. I myself have sympathy for the Palestinians as they do seem to get a raw deal. I didnt watch the interview but Corbyn was not on form it seems and had to admit it is not just the few who are going to be taxed, the low income taxpayers are as well to a tune of £250 minimum.

  11. Gary Rhodes RIP only 59
  12. Gary Rhodes RIP only 59
  13. i have been surprised that people thought Boris did poorly. I thought he did well and got a good ovation at the end. As much as I wanted to dislike the Scot lady I thought she came across well. Swanson lol totally out of her depth
  14. When I managed a couple of the forum games at SMS I met lots from here and without exception all were fantastic lads. Even Dubai Phil lol. Sadly a lot of them don’t post anymore. Brilliant couple of evenings
  15. On paper perhaps but they may not work as it could well work in reverse. I recall all the crowing when many fools joined the Labour party to vote JC in as they would never get into power again , shows how they misread that situation. I am centre right but I must say the posters who are further right to myself dont do the cause any good with the crowing and obvious arrogance. I agree the left are not above that and are very patronising but civility would be better way to put your argument across. All IMHO of course
  16. Hes a disgraceful runt. It galls me that the Tories have to entertain dealing with him. Cameron was right UKIP were a bunch of fruitcakes but he was wrong to go for the referendum. I wish that Labour had stayed more central and not lurched so far to the left. At least then I could not worry of them getting in.
  17. I dont see why you would attack the system so far out from an election. I doubt it is as sinister as it seems
  18. English is not his first language, sadly our numbnuts didnt give Puel a chance as he didnt speak fluent English
  19. I dont think so , the oil companies put the prices up at the slightest drop inthe pound but slow to reduce them when it strengthens. I get what you say though.
  20. Are you talking about Farages former party? Frankly I dont care about them, but it did seem unfair but probably not as unfair as the Scot nationalists who get a small proportion of votes and get a lot of say in our own parliament. I dont want PR as it ends up a joke and lots of horse trading, similar to the Tories and DUP. There is no perfect way and so I would keep to what we know.

    Matt Targett

    I liked Targett, but he was always a bit too soft, I think Koeman got frustrated with him tht if he got hurt in a tackle he wanted to come off rather than play through it.
  22. well that's how its been and how it is. It could be said that how come 52% voted in favour of something but the 48% are thwarting the majority's desire. If you truly think the first past the post is wrong and its not fair, how do you think the majority ( im not one of them) feel as they are being stopped by people like yourself???
  23. there used to be a yellow donkey in the 20th century but I think they made such a mess of things the donkey was put down. A party of Thorpe and the big fat paedo who they covered for many years dont deserve much thrift. Although as I said Cameron with Clegg was a decent balanced mix
  24. Perhaps Spain at present is a good example of why coalitions are not a good thing. First past the post has worked for a long time in our democracy. Although I did enjoy the Con Lib term. I have had to suffer under Wilson, Brown, Blair and co, but I accepted it, the same as I have us leaving. Its how you have to deal with things, if Corbyn gets in I will have to adjust accordingly and it is about time I stopped working 6+ days a week.
  25. Duncan, to be fair I cant recall a manager you have been supportive of. I feel you went off Ralph bigtime as he sold your friend SG and so you turn on him. Ralph is a big disappointment, but look what he has to work with!! Give a chef a tin of corned beef and see what he can make against a rival chef who has the finest cuts of beef. We as fans have been let down by many people, Les Reed , Ross Wilson, Katrina and Gao. Ralph came and took a big risk by joining us and I think it must have dawned on him after the Cardiff game last season how little he has to work with. I like Derrys idea of Ings in the midfield as at least he makes cutting passes,the rest of our midfield couldn't cut a sandwich. I would ask you to be more supportive of the manager as Adam Leitch put it so well on the Total saints podcast, we cant keep binning the manager. Listen to it and Im sure as a reasonable man you will see the sense
