Yep he was said to be a saints fan. I think I recall he was South african ??? and saw us win the FA cup and so supported us due to that. A Souness purchase I think, I personally wish he'd gone through and bought Friedel that was reported he was doing.

but it is qualified by 'when the economic conditions are right' That could mean anything. Also with referendums the question/options asked may not fit into how we would like it and so it can be abused. I felt we should have gone into the Euro when it was about 2 to the £. We would be wealthier now. I do agree having the ability to devalue is a bonus but we may wish we were in the Euro if the pound starts to fall. Our economy is bankrupt and sooner or later the money markets will turn on us.

If you watched Panorama last night he was correct Lol.

I was talking to a director at Bournemouth and asked him about Howes win rate. 57% according to him since he became manager. That is magnificent

I dont think I have time to recall all the points he has saved, even this season. I do recall reading many comments on the after match threads of 'thank f### Kelvin' etc and strangley the Oldham game where they got an undeserved draw KD had to make a great save with his legs to keep the point late in the game. DT you have had a problem with KD all along and will never be swayed, but I believe if we had the whole team to his standard we would be in the play offs if not the promotion places. He is a proper professional and is a credit to his profession. As for Maik Taylor, I was never happy when Dave Jones got rid of him for Paul Jones, he is a useful keeper but please dont tell me he is a commanding keeper, I have seen quite a few gaffs by him over the years and he is not that good at coming for crosses either...all IMHO of course

In my living memory we had one hung parliament.... boy that was a barrel of laughs for the nation. Fashion goes in circles and the 1970's are all the rage I didn't think it would be the same for politics. As Reagan said 'You aint seen nothing yet' sleepwalking into the unknown all on the back of the first ever 90 minute tv debate.Lol

Parachute payments?? The way the figures seem to change it seems to me a classic case of smoke and mirrors. Player sales in a firesale situation surely can't get to 14m. In a depressed transfer market are those players who have contributed to a dismal total of points be able to command decent prices?

Not just you.

a date with Chelsea a bonus???? I think not

Hold on I thought PIR has been on here in the last few weeks telling us we were talking nonsense. I wont be congratulating him until I see the banners.PIR has been one of the worst at giving it out

I do not condone such thoughts. If Dune believes that it does surprise me. Darling was a Marxist, doesnt mean he still believes what he said or did then. Im sure we have all done/said stupid things...most of us men said I do Lol

Id love to get one but my PM box is full with messages of goodwill from my Forum football team

Can you put up where Dune said he did such things? I have never seen such comments

Dont worry the Mars bars dont make the showers, my players will woof them down before I can get to them, ba######.

I know you were brought up in the Deliverence swamps of Coombe Bissett , the third eye is common there but us normals born and bred in the Mecca of Southampton only have the usual 2.

better chance of getting Benjii in fact he would be a better finisher

some of their fans are doing the right thing and paying back the charities etc who lost out. Fair play to them, and of course the media will lap it up. The bestest fans in the world will keep their crown

DT you have been consistant in your dislike for KD. I accept that, at the end of the day it is opinions. Other posters have said they have spoken to pros (who are supposed to know better than us! lol) who said he is poor. The fact that his fellow pros who have come up against him, vote that he is the best keeper in this league is enough. No player is 100% perfect in L1 and so for some to criticise a player who has been loyal and consistantly a points saver is churlish at best. I hope he keeps his form for another season, then the problem whether he is still good enough for the CCC will come into play.For a keeper he still has a few years left, although I will concede we do need a good back up

it is like defining poverty or what is being rich, everyone sees it differently I suspect

i dont know how the contracts work, but he is still at present a Reading player.

I would resent paying to see a doctor.

He's not alone, Harding has been ok, not outstanding enough to be irreplacable IMO. Earlier in the season we played a team (I cant remembr who at present) and the left back outpaced Antonio and was always good in his atttacking role

indirectly it will as any wage increase will be reduced as the extra costs will be factored in to what an emplyer can afford to put into the pot to pay. Tax costs everybody whether it is direct or indirect. The NI increases to Tesco etc will be passed onto the customer whoever that may be.

Business class is soooooo yesterday. For you sand eaters the Balsalmic champagne must taste good wheras we just sprinkle it on our salads.

I suspect there are Tories /Liberals who are not above this
