  1. I wonder if she was gagging for the Dutch to lose
  2. It is fair about the L1 thing but forward planning is essential and perhaps the 5 year plan thing also comes into play.If we ever do make the PL again, I dont see us buying players in the 20m bracket or even 10m and so we need a supply from other areas
  3. We managed to get some fine young players in the past against clubs like Chelsea Manu etc. If their parents believe they have more chance of progressing by joining us then they will be happy for them to sign up. I also think that a large swathe of our support bought in to the Dutch experiment and saw the sense in it. It is a way forward, but circumstance last time torpedoed it.
  4. Im not necessarily blaming Webb but pointing out that IMo he is not consistant.Big games he seems to follow different rules. The commentator mentioned that in the league dup he should have sent Vidic off for his professional foul but just booked him.I suggest that in normal league games he would have followed the book. I don't get the , 'it will ruin the game' if a player is sent off. No if they had sent 1 of those Dutch players off in the first half, the game would not have been ruined by the Spanish being kicked out of the game. had Van Bommel De Jong or another scored the winner would have Webb done his job properly?
  5. If a player should be sent off why should the ref keep a player on? In most league games there would have been at least 2 sendings off in the first half.Are the rules different for the final. I recall when England played Holland in the Euros and a Holland player ahould have been sent off for a professional foul, he went on to score the winner that knocked us out, is that correct just to keep the game as a spectacle?
  6. no wonder we dont get snippets of info quite as often as we used to.Lol
  7. that's where the confusion was as Shirley infants school is in Wilton road. I dont doubt he was headmaster to you
  8. I would look up football memorabilia dealers, and ask them if they would be interested. It matters not one bit what they ask for them but what you can get offered for it. I suspect they need to double to cover overheads and profits. As for the majority if not all antiques programmes they are a set up. I know a lot of the so called experts (the antiques roadshow is probably the best of a bad bunch) and they have little knowledge
  9. He was my fathers headmaster as well, but I didnt think he went to shirley school (I did) as they lived in Avenue road Portswood
  10. Not in my name should aid be cut. There are various reasons for me. Helping the weak and starving is one. On a completely business and self interest for our nation view, is that a lot of the resources we need are there.China have been trying to sneak in the back door and get the rights to much of the resources by starting to give a lot more to Africa in aid to get the rights to the minerals etc. Personally I believe more should be spent on educating the africans about contraception and the catholic church could help by accepting it as being a practical way to help stop starvation and the spread of aids. I also think that people cant see why we are sending aid to China etc, that is a nonsense.
  11. why are you getting up at 4am ,surely not to personally deliver the forum match DVD's lol
  12. that is not funny, and if you really mean it!!!!!
  13. so it seems to have come to pass, they will get away with it. I believe HMRC will challenge, but boy have they had a great spending spree and experiences on the back of it. British justice eh, Lol
  14. 'Our value add is that these activities can be carried out in complete confidence' i love that one, is that just before he goes to the Echo ??? Lol
  15. amazing how that they draft in loads of snipers when he is a Cop killer, normally it is a couple of air rifles and a pop-gun when the public are in danger. He's probably around Gazzas
  16. Pompey would have paid him 250k a week under the old regime
  17. at long last the players inflated wages are going to bring football to its senses. Apart from the media coverage I dont miss the PL
  18. I read on here that Algeria like the Germans also have been using the ball this season and so may be a reason
  19. Going back to when they were about to be wound up, PS gave the registrar indications of incoming money and a valuation of the squad.Does anybody recall what they were?
  20. Harry and Avram will be loaning them players to make their squad up.
  21. but that is where you are wrong, a rugby ball is differnet to a football for starters
  22. It wasnt having a stinker that was my concern , but the way he performed. I would love others who saw him that night give their views. It was comical. I want him to do well, as he plays for the team i support, but I do have reservations.I will support him if he is again number 1 but i do feel fans need to realsie that he may not be as good as they think
  23. they dont seem to have factored in the extra pressure of the fans and boards expectations. It is going to be a different atmosphere at SMS this season if we dont win from the start.
  24. No wonder the Germans are good with it.To be fair though Bayern Munich did well in the champions league with a different ball. it is a nonsense that the balls are not all the same throughout world football.
