As long as he fights under certain specified conditions, do we know what those conditions are?

it Gray and his sycophant sidekick, they are still smarting from being kicked off Sky

there should be certain civilised rules in war,for decency and the assassination of wounded person doesn't sit well, but if I had been subjected to the stress and anguish that the troops have we may also do some pretty awful things.

If anyone doubts his enthusiasm for the team,watch his joy when we score

is that your number plate as I'm sure I've seen that on a car near SMS in the past

It did get stuck in my throat

I was under the impression that in the wars of the past anyone not wearing uniform and fighting against you were not part of the Geneva convention. The Taleban do not fight in uniform and so one minute look like an innocent farmer the next shoot you in the back. War brings out the worst in men.it is easy sitting back in our cosy world and judging but those soldiers face stress 24/7

Thanks for putting that up

I wear my poppy in remembrance of the people who sacrificed their lives (willingly or not) for us to enjoy our modern freedoms. Having a poppy is one of the best ways of showing that I will not forget. The author of the piece seems to be politically motivated himself and so is a tad hypocritical IMO. The more people his actions stop giving to the appeal the less his comrades have to relieve their hardship.

It's strange how a modern photo looks good in sepia but how the old photos come to life when computer generated with colour. Now that would be a great app to have.

The CL thing at present is a dream (although this season may be the best chance for a long time to come) due to the lack of depth if / when our better players are not available. For us at this moment staying up is no.1 priority, then Europa league and if we somehow string a lot of good results together the impossible dream may come true. The league cup IMO is not worth the trouble

your position that people who are being realistic are happy clappers is arrogant but also quite childish. We are not the new Fulham but a progressive club that has a pragmatic approach to this season. You are the happy clapper if we are going to that level having the mindset that we had a hope of winning the cup considering the hurdles we needed to overcome to win it. Sunderland away was the easiest part of it. A few seasons ago Birmingham won the cup, Blackpool were riding high and just last sdeason Wigan won the FA Cup do you see the pattern? Watching Soccer Sunday it was interesting and also a tad worrying to hear TonyAdams say that under George Graham Arsenal also played the high pressing game and were quickly burnt out. he felt we would plummet around Christmas. Now of course that is his opinion, but we should take that on board. Yes we have 19 points at present but if we did get a string of injuries to our prime players we could be in difficultly, remember how Killers injury and BT going cost us? Therefore please excuse the people who are being realistic from holding the view that at this time in the clubs progression the hunger for a qtr final against Chelsea is not the priority.

his OP is valid, he got the usual sneers from certain posters who only ever see one side of a point. As he has only been on here from Jan he may get riled and snap back. I don't blame him the trolls don't like someone else taking their territory

they can't be arsed to win it.if they did nobody would get a look in. Fact is that the cup is great if you get an easy ride but we will see how the extra game effects our performance against Hull. We have just about a decent 11, we do not yet have a strong enough squad

The fat lady is clearing her throat.......although I didn't hear her in Parliament today fighting their corner. Funny when the chance of getting a few votes by spending taxpayers money saving the football club, you can't stop her from showing her mug Sad for anyone losing their job, I hope that something good comes from it.

Me too when using the Ipad

calling OSM a buffoon is not that clever but i have seen worse on here. I think he was voicing pertinent concerns

whilst that is good it is still an increase of 3% on top of the 10%, and so I assume another 13% above 20years ago. A mathematician will be better at calculating the increase over 20years. There fore if we stopped our use tomorrow how many decades would it take for that to make any difference to counterbalance the Chinese output? When we go into reverse then perhaps there could be reason to be happy. I dearly want the world to be a good place to live for my grandchildrens sake, but Iam sceptical, Ifeel that we all are not doing enough if we really want to make a difference.

Not quite the storm they predicted though. We were abroad and waiting to flew back through it, after reading the BBC website and the red warnings we were expecting a pretty torrid time, fortunately it was bumpy but not as bad as some

reading that,it seems that the ridding of nuclear has made them more reliant on coal fired stations. It is ridiculous. I can't see wind farms and renewables generating the required power we need. It is great being green when you are not having power cuts and effecting our lifestyles but when we start getting the blackouts peoples minds will quickly change

Griffo it sounded great in Tv and the radio. What other great songs have we got??? All the pathetic anti Pompey ones, WTFILN ( I can't ven work out what we are singing a lot of times when that is sung) we are known for OWTS as Liverpool are you'll never walk alone. It sounded superb and I would be more than happy for that to be sung 95per cent of the time

i think the goal we let in against Norwich was near post , Boruc is a great keeper and deserves our faith, it is correct that Kelvin would not have had the same Grace. He has been a fantastic servant to the club but is rightly 2nd choice

no wonder oppo fans don't love us

i never have an issue with the poster. I took it that you think it is a MP thing why we did not get results in those games. I wonder if you still have an agenda against MP and are lurking waiting to pounce...I hope. Iam wrong
