God I wish this game would hurry up and get here. The win against spurs was great but then to have such a long break after that game has been a real kicker. Try as I might I can't get excited by international football I want some saints action again. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

While there are nutters on both sides of the debate leave does seem to attract the truly special ones I mean what **** sends death threats to a 77 year old lady... Margaret Georgiadou, 77, who set up the petition, later revealed she has received death threats and her Facebook account has been hacked.

so that's 1 million people who turned up to march for a second referendum in London yesterday https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/brexit/one-million-people-join-march-to-demand-second-eu-referendum/ar-BBV8Lkb?ocid=spartandhp and err 200 people who turned up for Farage's Brexit ramble https://inews.co.uk/news/brexit/remain-campaigners-heckle-nigel-farage-as-only-200-turn-up-for-his-march-for-brexit/

I think it's fair to say plenty of leaver voters didn't make the distinction between bloke from Poland, France or Spain and bloke from Syria, Pakistan or Kenya.... Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

I'd make their pay performance related. In fact government have been perfecting the perfect system in education for years. MPs can be regularly checked by Ofsted and classed as outstanding, requires improvement or failing. It would work particularly well for government dock the pay of the transport secretary if a train is late or the health secretary if anyone has to wait to see a doctor etc etc..

harking back to the good old days of the 17th century?

Remain would win second Brexit referendum but no-deal would get more votes than Theresa May's deal, poll indicates https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/brexit/remain-would-win-second-brexit-referendum-but-no-deal-would-get-more-votes-than-theresa-mays-deal-poll-indicates/ar-BBV083p?ocid=spartandhp As the European Union mulls whether to grant the extension, a snap poll by YouGov indicates 61 per cent of the population would vote to remain in the EU rather than for Theresa May’s deal (39 per cent) if a referendum offering those options were called. However, if people were asked in a public vote whether they would prefer to remain in the EU or leave with no deal in place, remain would still win, though by the smaller margin of 57-43 per cent. It shows a 22-point lead for Remain over Ms May’s deal, or a 14-point lead for Remain over no deal at all.

Brexit plays right into the hand of the SNP another independence referendum won't be far behind the UK leaving the EU. Mind you it's extremely undemocratic of the SNP to hold another referendum as they already had one once so should never vote on the issue of independence ever again..ever.

Except it does that's what general elections are for the chance for to change your mind every few years. It's not like you only get one vote on your government in a life time. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Piece in the Echo on Ralph the under 23s. Suggests a number of senior will be leaving in the summer sub text seems to point to us using more youngsters next season. "If Saints are able to maintain their Premier League status, it’s expected that a host of senior players will leave the club permanently in the summer." https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17509117.amp/ Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Yes I am aware but now he is a Bournemouth player who he can't get a game to the point of being loaned out to villa. I was hoping we would aim a little higher in the summer... Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Interesting piece from Glen Johnson on the last six months under Hughes at Stoke https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/glen-johnson-interview-mark-hughes-2652610.amp Hughes it seems had trouble with players with big egos ..... Probably explains Hoedt's continued presence early season. I can imagine the situation was pretty similar here behind the scenes. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Derby at home FA cup so I could have (hopefully) had some saints action this weekend...

scrap the Champions League and bring back the European cup.

being serious only the FA cup final to be played at Wembley...

Not sure why you are getting all angry just trying to have a civil discussion. Having said that I can't agree. You can't look at history with like that. History is cause and effect rarely can you look at a single event in isolation because previous events will have impacted the event you are looking at. The recent troubles don't happen without the chain of events that lead up to them all the way back to the Ulster plantations if you want to go that far back . Secondly its not about blame its trying to understand why something happened and how happened with putting your own modern moral code on it. Further trouble in Ireland was imo always on the cards (and probably will be again) because circa 300 years of violence based on religious and cultural differences can't (or won't) be forgotten easily. Irish independence after ww1 also left both sides of the divide feeling unfulfilled it was a fudge which is why the IRA never went away and why the unionist acted the way they did (if you have a large minority of your population you identify as the enemy you aren't going to be to up for treating them well). Suggesting the British government modernise NI assumes that the unionists would have been up for that at the time, I would suggest the siege mentality of their political elite wouldn't have made it easy, and lets face both sides of Ireland haven't exactly been quick to take a modern view on other things like say abortion. Unionists are terribly entrenched in the past they still celebrate a battle that took place in 1690, a Dutch king who most British people have barely heard of or remember, so much so they will still march about it ever year despite knowing how their Catholic neighbours feel about it. Yet you think they would have taken increased rights for Catholics forced on them by the British government (at a time when NI was under home rule) happily? British government intervention in North Ireland in favour of Catholic rights would have most likely still caused trouble and violence it just would have been unionists flocking to join the UDF instead they would have fought tooth and nail to keep their dominance in Ulster. You also can't get past religion in Irish politics its literally like the last place in Europe that hasn't got past the Reformation which comes back to cause and effect you can't disregard it as happening to long ago because both sides of the Irish divide don't see it that way it still matters to them. Those division in Irish society laid down in the 16th an 17th centuries still have ramifications in Ireland even now. Personally I'm not really interested in the blame game both sides have so much blood on their hands it seems impossible to try and apportion blame now anyway. Kudos for throwing in Dál Riata though, not to many people are boned up on their 6th century kingdoms of Britian, I think we can conclude they are as much to blame for current situation in Ireland as Ystrad Clud or Rheged though..

Tackling never minded a bit of two footed, off the floor, from behind, uncontrolled aggression..as long as you got a touch of the football.

That's a big claim. Sectarian violence has a long history in Ireland dating back to the 17th century at some point violence was inevitable government intervention or not 300 years of hate isn't easily erased. The IRA had existed in one form or another since 1918 it split several times ( including the late 60s) over its history but it had carried out guerilla warfare against northern Ireland in both the 1940s and in the border campaign of the late 50s early 60s let's not paint them out to be merely a defence force.

A win is massive here not only does it potentially increase our lead over Cardiff and Burnley it drags Brighton back into the relegation fight as well.

What's the point? There isn't any party worth voting for... c u n t s the lot of them...

25 seconds in...

err yeah what with Armstrong getting the assist for the first goal and making the energetic run from midfield, that brought the professional foul for the free kick, that became the winner he certainly has no place in the team...
