I find it amusing/annoying when Mandelson comes on air and says 'we have pumped in 175 billion into the economy' no he hasn't, the government hasn't , WE HAVE and that is around our necks for generations. So please dont make it sound he has done us all a favour.

If you know the rules you surely adhere to them. If you dont have car insurance and end up in a wheel chair who do you blame for that? Those people have played the risky game of avoiding paying in to the systemand then cry when their clever scheme goes wrong. It is a case of taking responsibility

I agree it is a fair question.

I agree it is a good question.NI was there on the day and invovled in the collections etc, he may know more.Does anyone on here know him to ask? I did get the impression after reading some of the stuff running up to the dya that it looked like it may even lose money! I myself thought the organisers did a marvelous job donating their time.

JPS was part of the failure last season if you didnt notice.He was hardly the most effective centre half and yes i would expect a centre half who can cope with the big centre forwards we will face in this league.he is not up to it and if you'd like to count his mishaps he did when he was here you may understand where Im coming from. i'llexpect you will need quite some time to recall them all. i will start with the penalties, then the lack of marking . he did score a good free kick though

DD you are flogging a dead horse.

How many s/ts have been sold? Ho has gone all coy on this, perhaps you can forward us the number. 9877 was the figure i was last forwarded but that was a few days ago. Perhaps it will be publicised at the Solent Fans Forum

It is amazing how far we have fallen if JPS is rated so highly.I do wonder whether all histeamates would be happy for his return

steady Mack you skates are not allowed a sense of humour. How many s/t's you lot sold so far?35k was the last estimate and you were printing more than the bank of england is notes

I would aim higher than him. IMO

i wouldnt worry about owning them but you sure were duped in the price you paid...apparently it was said you get the city in with it as well

i dont know your personal position but when Nye Bevan said all those things all those years ago the furtherest thing from his mind I expect was boob jobs and sex changes. It is a nonsense that people are working their butts off then taxed so people can have these things done.Dont give me the mental anxiety stuff, it is a nonsense. The other illnessses that is fine but the cosmetic stuff should have a line put through it period. i agree with BTF that wealth should not be an issue when it comes to health care but there should be boundaries that this takes in

I would not wish for the NHS to go.What percentage of our wages should be taken to pay for the nations healthcare.I think the Yanks see it as the ones who work hard yet again paying for those who can't/won't do anything to help themselves.I can understand that.I myself am happy to pay towards the people who really are vulnerable but the hangers on I dont want to contribute toward. There has to be a balance IMO

I think that is fairly put.I have laways hated seeing youngplayers crucified on here and backed them.I do though want to put a brake on the over expectation put on the lad.Yes he has done a few good things and has great feet, but whilst the early days of MLT i saw mercurial talent, with AL i see too much expectation on the lad and that will weigh him down.Let him develop yes, but he is not irreplacable and needs to up his game to be the starin the team.Lambert gave me more hope in the first 45mins than AL has ,due to the fact that he actually came up with the goods. Saying all that AL did a lot better than I have seen him do for a long time, that has to be a plus.it did annoy me when he shot instead of passed when he had done all the hard work and he had set up a chance for a better option.His teammates certainly told him what they thought and to be fair he did apologise.

The sycophant knows no bounds.AL is going to be an alright player. There are many at his age years ahead of him, you only have to look at Wilshire to see that.I hope he does prove me wrong as we will bear the fruits of it.Still a long way from that IMO.I wish him well ps if you dont understand the laws of the game then you should hold your words

Yes he lived with a woman interior designer. My friend did a lot of work for him as an architect.He still would prefer Freddie Lundberg than a woman IMO though

Greenridge, i like to support all the young players but AL has been given a tag of some kind of new superstar.He has quick feet, he also has added a new aggression and fight to try and tackle (although he couldnt tackle a bag of chips).He is not any good in the air and physicall y still not strong enough.He is over 20. He has improved since last season and that is a bonus but he has a long way to go to reach the pedastal you have put him on. I am behind him but am not blinkered enough to miss his points he needs improving on. If I had a choice between having him or Northamptons number 8 (sorry dont know his name) i would have no hesitation in getting him.He was powerful athletic quick and had a real will to win

i was typing when I was queueing. lol As for the cuppa I would have been delighted not to buy you one...Did you see AL out of breath as well when he came to take the corner, he looked like me after running up some steps

I dont think that is quite right, it seems to me that is the reverse to the yanks are saying about our NHS.Scaremongering, although i deo understand the concept of trying to waste time until the patient dies. The NHS is brilliant but terribly wasteful.I would like them to just become a little more efficient with our money. In the US when i have been the people are resentful of paying high fees to subsidise the ones who are illegal or not pay into the system. I suggest if we had never had the NHS and the government wanted us to pay more tax to pay for others to get treatment we ourselves would be up in arms.I myself resent people using loopholes to come in from abroad to give birth opr get treatment for free on us,sorry but that is the way I feel

you are right she is amazing.

Reading that, I thought that they have a decent set of fans on there.As dry as a dog t### in the desert.Except the one who talks a bloke looking over his shoulder while s#agg###, probably one of the ones who escape on here from there.

In my opinion that was not written by a person who has never attended a PL game and not had an interest in football until recently.

He disappears when the going gets tough aqnd then pops up when he has something to cling to. The s/t figures must be out there somewhere , his 'friend at the club' told him that they were at 12k and going to be 16k. I had it that they were only touching 9k a week or so ago. Im sure he'd have been back to tell us if his mate was right,or perhaps he is being humble in his victory. lol

He [played better and did work hard. He is unbelieveably frustrating though.In the first half especially he did some greatstuff beatring players and making a position to pass a killer ball but took a shot instead of the more sensible option.He seems to have practiced his shooting in respect of a bit more power. Overall an improvement but he is not Zidane. If he has decided not to be a big time Charlie but a team memeber then great.I was sitting in the Kingsland corner and when he came to take a corner he was so out of breath he could hardly move across to take it.That was in the first half! He had just made a coupleof runs but it was surprise that a young lad was like that.

So the papers are stirring the admin story but then oges out with quotes like that.
