An awful lot of people here seem to be working on the assumption that the guy who was assaluted was 'screaming abuse' at the two players. Yet the claim seems to be that he was collecting a takeaway and asked them when they were going to start doing the business. That doesn't constitute 'screaming abuse' in my book - if anything it's a fair question. They haven't exactly set the world alight with their prolific scoring antics this season, and when they are doing such a high-profile job very badly, they should be well aware that they are likely to face questions from those who effectively pay their over-inflated wages.

This guy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfQrDK9YHas

Link here Can anyone on here think of a single instance where a photograph of a police officer is likely to help terrorists? This is just another pathetic attempt to curtail civil liberties even more, all in the name of fighting the invisible bogeyman of terrorism.

PLANNING APPLICATION Type of Construction Snowman Location of Construction In the back garden Size of Construction Four foot high No, in metric 1.3 metres (approx) Materials of Construction Snow Purpose of Construction Fun Have archtect's designs been included with this application? No Has a full Health and Safety Assessment been undertaken? No Will this have a detrimental effect on local properties? Unlikely Will the Construction require re-routing of essential services? No Approximately how many people will be involved in the Construction? Estimates suggest three children will build it Children? Are you aware of the regulations involved in using children for construction purposes? I didn't think it mattered. Will these be local children (i.e. children of the EU)? Yes Will their employment be at terms and conditions conforming to minimum wage legislation? No Please send your completed application to this office, together with your cheque for £75. You should receive a reply withing three months. On no account begin work on the construction before planning permission has been received. Response to this application... Dear sirs, in regard to your application for planning permission to build a snowman, I would like to address the following points... 1. The term 'snowman' is now forbidden as it is likely to be deemed sexist and cause offense. From now on, your planned construction will be known as a 'snowperson'. 2. We have no records of your organisation being registered as an equal opportunity employer. Please proviude documentation detailing the ethnicity guidelines which are to be observed when selecting contractors for construction work. 3. In accordance with current ant-terror legislation, your snowperson may be liable to arrest and detention for 42 days without charge if he/she is unable to produce adequate means of identification. Please respond to these points, along with a further cheque for £250 to cover administrative costs, before your application can be considered further.

All this negativity, nobody is looking at the positives - we get a couple of local away days next season at Brighton and Yeovil.

I thought his comments were nothing short of disgraceful. His main gripe seems to be that we came close to relegation last season and Rupert wasn't here then so how can it be his fault? Does this man really know that little about the recent history of our club? I know he is Lowe's puppet but to risk alientaing the entire fan base to stick up for him in this way is a very dangerous game. Just for your information Mr Wotte... Lowe appointed Burley who dragged us close to relegation last season. Then Pearson, who was not appointed by Lowe, came in and instilled enough fight and spirit in the team to keep them up. Then Lowe came back and promptly got rid of Pearson, purely because he didn't appoint him in the first place, and brings in you and your pal Mr Portaloo, who between you have dragged us even closer to relegation than Lowe's last appointed manager did.

Not at all. Just pointing out the fact that you claim to have never goaded us about administrtation when, in fact, you have. That's what makes you a hypocrite....

I'm not claiming for a second that the Palestinians are completely blameless. Far from it. I saw a program a while back which proved beyond doubt that Palestinians in Gaza have been faking videos showing some of the suffering at the hands of the Israelis. I'll have a look and see if I can find it on Youtube. I'm just pointing out that to deliberately target and kill civilians using illegal chemical weapons purely because of the actions of a group of terrorists, which there can be no doubt the IDF has been doing, is totally despicable. You're contradicting yourself. Nobody, as far as I can see, is declaring support for Hamas. I am as much opposed to terrorism as anyone else and do not condone their actions. But do civilians deserve to be collectively punished because of them? When we were under constant threat of attacks from the IRA, did we wade into Ireland and destroy houses, apartment blocks and schools, and unleash white phosphorous weapons on their civilian population as 'punishment'? Of course we didn't. Hamas is without doubt a terrorist organisation that have carried out some pretty horrific acts. But the Israeli response is way, way out of all proportion, and that is the point that most people are trying to make.

San Marino GP was actually held in Italy, which is home to some of the most fanatic GP fans in the world. Ferrari's base at Maranello is less than 50 miles from the Imola circiuit. HTH.

True, but the fact that you would even question it surely negates your whole argument that supporting the civilian population of Gaza 'by default' means supporting Hamas.

Hang on Delldays, you're really confusing me now. Firstly you say that you don't trust that Hamas' election victory was genuine, and you then go ahead and blame the entire population of Gaza for their actions? :smt102

http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=4319 Actually, I take it back. Corp you are a moron and a hypocrite. A quick search of your previous posts threw up this little nugget from as recently as November...

In which case I apologise Corp. I do not remember any specdific instances of you goading us about it but given your general style of posting and continuous arguments about attendance figures, I would not have put it past you. In fairness Corp, this is a Saints forum. And let's be honest... you haven't exactly endeared yourself to its members in the past have you?

And what has been pointed out to you, and you seem to have conveniently ignored, is that most people do not support Hamas at all, but feel sympathy towards the innocent civilians who did not ask to be caught up in this conflict and have nowhere else to go.

Just goes to show how subjective these things are. I thought that was an excellent film.

Well let's face it, if we go to the wall who are they going to banter with? Brighton? Bournemouth? But seriously, it's good to see that not all the pompey fans that post on this forum are as moronic as Corp Ho. I never fully appreciated just how close they came to going down the pan themselves and I may have joked about it at the time, but I really wouldn't wish what is happening to us on anyone. REAL football fans don't deserve it.

Let's face facts here. We don't look capable of staying up without a 10-point deduction. With it, relegation is about as certain as Barry H. Bear taking his roll of Andrex and copy of today's Sun into the woods and curling one out.

Like I said, I could be completely wrong. I don't pretend to be an expert in these matters, but I was thinking of the Leeds situation where Ken Bates was able to buy the club back for a pound or something stupid like that after it had gone into administration.

Somebody will buy it if it is offered cheap enough. I personally think this is why we have not been taken over already, because the vultures have been circling waiting for the club to effectively die so they can pick it up at a fraction of what it was being offered at before administration. Then again, I could be completely wrong.

Ah. So the whoooooooosh is on me then.... Sh1t!

Giving a listen to Peter Bjorn and John's Writer's Block album having never heard it before. Very good indeed.

Whooooooosh!

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=smu7L_8Lt1E&feature=related Whatever the rights and wrongs of this conflict, when I see this kind of thing it makes me sickened and ashamed to even be the same species as the c***s that do things like this.

So they found a replacement for Carol Vorderman in the end then. I loved the bit that Michael Mcintyre (sp) did in his stand-up DVD about it saying all they needed to do was find an autistic shelf-stacker

Careful mate. During the buildup to last years FA cup final I said on here that I would rather see a team from my home county win it than a team from a different country, and you would not believe some of the abuse that was aimed in my direction as a result.
