How many tactical mistakes is Adkins allowed?
OldNick replied to Dibden Purlieu Saint's topic in The Saints
absolute madness, he does not learn. His first mistake was not having the courage to put Reeves on instead of Jos -
yep they who laugh off massive losses wit bad debt from the Skates. They must factor in these losses on pricing for our programmes. I dislike the thought of the loyal programme sellers not having the job anymore, but the programmes nowadays have no soul.

NC is hardly any of the lot of chancers you have had through the door. Iam comfortable that he is a shrewd operator and there is valid reasons to get a loan. Ialso have faith that there are a few people with contacts who will be digging to find why. At this time i am confident that all is Ok at SMS. As for Pompey well it seems you have a good bunch chasing to own the place. iam just waiting for Stig to put an offer in for your dumo

Some Tweets Saying We Have Borrowed Against Future Season Ticket Sales
OldNick replied to Gemmel's topic in The Saints
It may be fanciful, but is there any possibility that NC has purchased the club from the family? Somebody could leverage the borrowing against the PP's much like the Glazers at Man u -
I always thought he was a prime candidate as a paedo. I have watched a little of last nights programme and do wonder how the girls after being molested still went back time and again. Surely they must have known it was wrong and hardly forced to go back. As for the adults who were interviewed and saw the evidence and said nothing, they are complicit and deserve to be outcast.

They obviously are not using the squad as a guarantee -
MIlliband, Balls and his odious wife Evette Cooper are the most cynical of politicians who lap up the gravy train while peddling the'we support the working class' the next generation of the Kinnocks. Boy,does that family know how to feather it's nest. A generation of miners went out and tried to bring a government down to get Neil as PM, then he swans off to Brussels. It is disgusting the way the working classes have been abused by these people desperate for power any way they can. I await the attacks by the hoodwinked coming to their defence lol

i posted similar recently. No loyalty bonusses and and signing on fees, no wages to pay during the summer. There are lots of decent footballers around without contracts.

Chez, if you say that relegation from the PL and then the CCC is punishment that fits the crime then that society is very screwed. If you canvassed every clubs fans apart from the top 6 of the PL and gave them the chance of 4-5 visits to Wembley, winning the FA cup, playing in europe with a team of all stars, watching top players week in week out. Then after relegation having a team that could compete every game and even then when you are relegated again and potless you not only survive but also have a team that can compete to a standard that could even get into the play-offs. I suggest at least 80% would take it. If you added an extra question that if it meant the club going out of existence i suspect that would drop to 30-40%. Dont forget Pompey had been in the depths of the leagues for generations before the circus came to town and none would have expected the ride they have had for the last 15 years. They have won the lottery and have experiences that my kids are not likely to have gained. iam lucky and seen my club play and win the cup final etc etc and would love my kids to have the same If th

only time will tell on that one. If they had not cheated they would never have been in the PL in the first place. I dont believe myself that things were fine when they first came out of admin with MM.
-
to be fair 1200 away fans is a good turnout. I assume BC is happy that they stay in admin and burn the cash that the trust need to fund their bid. Yes Bc may want that but the less money the trust have the weaker their bid is. By the way, Pompey are getting away with it

I think we are all in agreement regarding the super wealthy who pay nothing, but until it becomes legislation that they cannot do the offshore stuff they will get away with it. There is NO excuse for them, they are scum like the benefit cheats. Some teachers work hard but i dont see them as hardworkers as much as many of the people who I see in business.
-
i agree 100% but those people are not the ones who will be effected by the changes, it will be the ones who have tried to make theior own way. I would probably vote for a party who would stamp those people out. I think you will find that Obama has started doing so in the US and it is about time it happened here. Why we have dependecy's like the IOM and Channel Islands and they are able to avoid VAT and have tax schemes is beyond me.

please dont use the im not academic to become a success, there are many people who are not academic who are very successful. Add making excuses for taking the benefits system for a ride because the jobs are boring is very sad and a reason why so many people are struggling. The economy can take lots more small businesses who work hard and go out and have a go. in the long term we need as many of the people at the bottom setting up and becoming a success. I do agree there are many who do not have a hope and they are the ones we work hard for to pay contributions to help, I have no time for the malingerers and soakers of the system,and dislike the waste of resources on these people. The majority of people want fairness in society but taking extra off people who already have paid a fair amount in is wrong. get the Government to cut back on waste and people report the ones on benefit fraud and we would all be better off. Of course there is the code of honour that wont let you report the cheats because it is seen as grassing up, it's yet another way of suppressing the poor. the only people who want the benefit cheats not get reported is the cheats themselves.

Property tax is a creeping tax. 20 years ago 200000 would have been seen as a wealthy persons property.Now that is quite a common value and many people on here will certainly own property in that price range. The government may up the levy as the time goes on but like stamp duty more people are brought into the net as time goes on. Any tax of envy is a dangerous game to play. Cut out the offshore tax loopholes by all means but do not penalise people who have staked the lot on hard work and risk. I believe if you started again and gave everybody 1000 at the end of the year there would be many with nothing and some who would be well off. Some are lazy ,some do not wish to take risks,others are poor at budgeting others are able to seize opportunity,that is life but to penalise is wrong. The better paid do pay higher tax and so contribute more of their income percentage wise,stop looking up in envy but strive to join them. I would love to be a billionaire but I'm not going to be as I am not smart enough,or not been lucky I don't get all bitter and twisted about it though.

FourFourTwo's 'Name your club's best goal ever'
OldNick replied to Crazy Diamond's topic in The Saints
MLT did so many, my personal favourite is the one away in front of the Kop where he lifts the ball over Mark Wright a coupple of times and makes him look foolish. If you wattch the Kop they applaud the goal. Tommy Jenkins away at WHU in about 68-70 . he seemed to beat the whole team before scoring -
No but if everybody has the same you dont have the pathetic jealousy that seems to be rife in our society. iam fully behind anyone stopping people like Sir Phillip Green who pays no tax but earns his money from the UK. To tax the people who set up the businesses that earn the money that makes the country wealthy enough so we can have a welfare system by creating exports, is wrong IMO. I do wonder where people think the countries wealth comes from to pay for the system. Governments or the public sector do not earn the country money, it spends it. We at present are desperately trying to balance the economy, so that the private sector grows, that in turn creates exports and jobs to offset the losses in the public sector. Taxing those people who are prepared to take the risks is madness IMO, as the incentive is gone. It has also been proven that the more you tax the less revenue is brought into the exchequer. I notice France are going to tax the very top people 75%, just watch that country slip back as people go elsewhere or the black econmy takes hold

North Korea is the best place in the world to live. Everyone lives at a base level, the state decides what you do and you worship the leader.Sounds gereat, no enterprise to worry about

so people who work hard and are successful pay 40% tax and then have to pay another high tax on their spending. it is madness and just envy. People who earn big money have higher costs of living that gets passed on to the greater economy. The moment you squeeze everything will come to a stop. I am in the luxury part of the economy and 15 -20 people earn part of their living as a off-shoot. So my products are then made more expensive, the business grinds to a halt and so the other companies do so and it starts the spiral. The best luxury tax there is would be on take away food packaging, 5p on every burger box, pizza carton , plastic sandwich container would bring in millions to the exchequer. Having a take away is a luxury

Just like the Toy salesman, as soon as it goes wrong they throw their toys out of the pram. Never did they get so het up when they were spending the money. It is just the football version of Greece, all happy and smiling until the gravy train stops and they have to pay the bill

The "who do we think should be in goal on Saturday" thread
OldNick replied to Ivan Katalinic's 'tache's topic in The Saints
you forgot to mention how he was voted best keeper in the last 2 seasons by his fellow pros, apart from that he is of a course a c### keeper Lol -
Lol whooosh

of course Trousers just puts up posts of no relevance to add to his total, which is a little bit off IMO
