andoru Posted 16 September, 2015 Share Posted 16 September, 2015 Cry me a river mate, he's a 20 year millionaire who's picked up an injury in his job and will now be sat on his arse for the next year earning 100k odd each week, get some perspective ffs. What the **** has that got to do with him breaking his leg? The money and the fracture are unrelated of course, but I suppose PP's point was that his situation isn't as bad as for an ordinary bloke suffering a similar injury. If someone on 25k a year breaks their leg, it can affect their ability to earn money for their family – money they need much more than a millionaire – and they have to make do with occasional trips to an NHS physio. They also get zero sympathy except from a few close mates. Shaw is going to get the best treatment, all while being paid six-figures a week. That should soften the blow slightly, even if it has nothing to do with the injury itself. I guess that's what PP was getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 16 September, 2015 Share Posted 16 September, 2015 The defectors really have been a bit cursed since they left, haven't they. Ah, for once you agree with me. In Luke's case is is tragic seeing how well he has played in the past few weeks and how he has been struck down. He cannot say that I didn't warn him as he was about to sign for Man U. It was the wrong move and the wrong moment in time. His abandonment of Saints when he did was linked to his Karma and I told him would pay badly if he chose money and material comforts over not filling his current destiny with Saints. This was not to say he was not to move away in the future. Just it was the wrong moment in his destiny. Luke is born the 12th of July, and shares his birth date with Julius Caesar who met his destiny by ignoring the IDES of MARCH. (15th March) Yesterday, by strange coincidence was the IDES OF SEPTEMBER, the 15th of September. Indeed a rendezvous with destiny for poor Luke. My heart goes our to him, and know just how much this dreadful setback means to him. He has worked hard but has struggled against the tide due to his impatience to leave Saints. However like Caesar "HE CAME, HE HAS SEEN AND NOW HE WILL CONQUER" Wishing you a speedy recovery and a return stronger and even better in the future.

VectisSaint Posted 16 September, 2015 Share Posted 16 September, 2015 Yesterday, by strange coincidence was the IDES OF SEPTEMBER, the 15th of September. Indeed a rendezvous with destiny for poor Luke. Sadly your attempt to link Luke's injury with fate and historical dates is fatally flawed. The Ides of September falls on the 13th, not the 15th, as any classical scholar would know. It is a common misconception that the Ides falls on the 15th of each month, in fact the Ides fall on the 15th only March, May, July and October. For future reference the following needs to be learned by all posters wishing to post accurately about Roman calendars: The Kalends always falls on the first of the month The Nones falls on the fifth, except as described by the following poem: March, July, October, May The Nones are on the seventh day The Ides falls 8 days after the Nones.

ART Posted 16 September, 2015 Share Posted 16 September, 2015 The Julian Calendar replaced the ancient Roman Calendar in BC 45 by Julius Caesar's authority and his birthdate was thus calculated as the 12th of July. I thank VectisSaint for posting the classic methods used to calculate special dates. For many a year I have fallen back into using the modern habit of using the 13th and 15th of the month based on 30 days to a month.

Professor Posted 17 September, 2015 Share Posted 17 September, 2015 Is there anyone who has left Southampton FC since we returned to the Prem League whose career has improved since leaving? For Clyne and Schneiderlin its too early to pass judgement although Clyne's new team isn't setting the world on fire and although Morgan's club are 2nd in the table, reports suggest that performances are lacklustre even before you consider how much cash they have splashed. Perhaps Jack Cork would say his career has improved as he is a more regular starter for Swansea than he was here but there does seem to be a tendency for players to do better here than elsewhere.
