Guan 2.0

Morale isn't 'That' bad. But, there is frustration with the uncertain takeover, players and non-playing staff asking what it means for their future. And a sense we are slipping.

What a sad end to the season. Well, at least we have a few easy games coming up against teams with nothing to play for

You can rest easy Hypo, At the time of Richard's death the marriage remained unconsummated. The house of commons actually declared that Isabella would be considered to be of age for child bearing at 12, as they were concerned over Richards Virility and even given this (very) young age restriction, Richard would have to survive until his mid 50's to avoid the reign of boy king and the 'dangerous' prospect of a regent. There was none. It was an odd comparison to make. Although Richard II did. He never was accused of any 'creepy' contact with Isabella, even after marriage and given the deliberate blackening of his name by Henry IV . She grieved for him after becoming widowed, and refused several other marriages as a result. So you had a King who was forced to marry a 6 year old as a result of a truce to avoid further war with France and did not consummate, vs A religious Prophet (The Perfect man of Islam) who married a six year old and sexually abused her (Thighing) until she was 9 when he started having sex with her. As I said, an odd comparison to make.

So you're trying to frame it like that are you? Superb. First of all, I didn't write the article. It does have some excellent sources though. I merely copied over a paragraph to show that he was betrothed (and married) Isabella as part of a truce deal, brokered after the original proposals failed. So i highlighted the sentence about the truce, and how the proposal was arranged Oddly enough, in your attempt to frame 'my' (in actuality the articles) words as 'creepy' you leave out "As part of the truce" that begins the sentence, and claim it as you quoting me. Dishonest to say the least. I then go on to mention that the marriage went ahead earlier than the original agreement (this was with the encouragement of Charles VI, to solidify the truce) You can see it quoted directly above "So obviously it was accelerated". But i think you already knew that, and that you have tried to twist my giving context to the betrothal and marriage as a diplomatic move into my somehow supporting/approving of the marriage of six year old girls. How regrettable on your part.

How is this wrong? Are you suggesting that the original proposal did not include the conditions under which the marriage was proposed . The article actually lists the estimated age of marriage as six. So obviously it was accelerated. But to suggest the context is 'wrong' is incorrect.

With national stability secured, Richard began negotiating a permanent peace with France. A proposal put forward in 1393 would have greatly expanded the territory of Aquitaine possessed by the English crown. However, the plan failed because it included a requirement that the English king pay homage to the King of France – a condition that proved unacceptable to the English public.[51] Instead, in 1396, a truce was agreed to, which was to last 28 years.[52] As part of the truce, Richard agreed to marry Isabella, daughter of Charles VI of France, when she came of age. There were some misgivings about the betrothal, in particular because the princess was then only six years old, and thus would not be able to produce an heir to the throne of England for many years

Apparently, Russian civilians don't warrant a #Pray4Russia campaign or candlelight vigils across Europe. For shame!

That's the drugs talking mon frére. The days of la revolución are still to come!

JWP is finally stepping up, and making himself a focal point rather than talented sub. As one of his biggest critics in the past, I would hate to see him leave now.

Th medical team thought he had a cold before the game, but then remembered he couldn't catch one.

One match, nothing held back, we can do this. C'mon boys.

Status Quo? We would have had all those wonderful new reforms that David Cameron had 100% guaranteed with his bitter and lengthy negotiations with the EU, that would definitely have happened.

Indeed. The only thing that the Black box told Reed was "Sign someone or we're f&*8ed"

Nope, merely posing a question. The name is already out there. Surely though, it is worth any risk given our current situation, no?

If he passed a medical and the staff estimated a wait time of 1-2 weeks before match fitness would you take him?

I appreciate that in my fellow saints fans. Finding humour in the little things. Like our chances of picking up a point or 3.

Which model Bosch did you go with?

Same result at greater expense

Sakho is Garbage IMO.

Thanks for this! The lifts especially are a consideration, so very much appreciated! #TopClass

Best area for families with older members? Not knocking the boozed up loud supporters, but don't want to be next to them either!

No,thank god.Luckily, as with Panasonic/vestel, guides are avaible online.

Hope the team and management display some solidarity and tonk them 3-0.
