Rangers chief brands Saints a "small team" (From Daily Echo)

How are they subsiding us?? They are in financial disarray whereas we are one of the most financially secure clubs around at the moment. As far as I'm concerned if they all want to f*ck off and form a super league I would be more than happy for them to, personally I go to watch Saints not the opposition. We might lose 10k on the gate if this happened but so be it, if 'fans' are only there because we are in the Premier League now then I'd be more than happy for them to go as well.

I don't doubt that a European league will emerge one day. But I think it will be an overpriced, over televised monster that is completely removed from the reality of the real spine of football. i.e Local Clubs, football in parks, Sunday leagues !!

.. and when that super league arrives ..... Rangers sure as hell won't be in it.

Like that Braveheart bloke with the bad blue eyeliner, he'll end up with his head on a spike.

He mentioned Swansea too ... and what have Saints ands Swansea got in common? We are both PREMIER LEAGUE .... the finest league in the world, not some highland subbuteo league where the annual turnover trebles if half the crowd buy crisps with their half time haggis.

This has to be a prime candidate for the next one of those TV specials "Fifty Greatest ****ing idiots in charge of third division jock football teams" ....

Many of the previous respondents either have a closed mind or are ignorant of several facts.
Pertinent facts being,at the moment Rangers home attendance is averaging around 48k whilst Southampton's is about the 28 k mark. One would expect more from a Club which is currently playing in one of the top Leagues in the World.
Rangers are, as several people have already said, are playing at the lowest level in Scottish Pro. football yet can still attract almost double of SFC's.
Mr. Green has therefore a very marketable commodity, especially when the hundred's of RFC Supporters' Clubs throughout the World are added, something the likes of Clubs like Southampton FC can only dream of”

That may well be the case Gus but what you cannot hide from is the mighty GERS are struggling to get out of the 3rd division I don't think anyone has questioned the support the club has but in a country where everyone supports 1 of 2 teams based on faith it's not really suprising

Where this person obviously wants to take football is where the NFL in America has gone, i.e. franchise teams playing in big urban centres across a continent with massive TV money subsidising megarich players.

Well we already have the megarich players living off TV money admittedly, but football in Britain is and always has been a pyramid structure with the Premier League and the SPL at the top. And just as Saints and Norwich have shown in the last couple of years, teams from the lower leagues can make it to the higher echelons.

The Champions League is the competition that allows the top teams from each country to play a variety of teams from across Europe. If the Cortese plan comes off, Saints could be there in a couple of years. That has to be the (theoretical) dream of every team, why does that need to be replaced by the American model?

Hi there. Rangers have had to move on 23 players since the beginning of the year due the financial mess.
Our Team today consists mainly of young lads, journeymen, and 2 or 3 old pros who are past their best.
Having said that, they played the Team who were currently at the top of the Premier League only 2 weeks ago, Motherwell, and beat them fairly easily.
Compared to this time last year when Jelavic, Naismith, McGregor, Davies, all proven internationalists, were available, the team is a mere shadow of it's former self.
Add to that, the SFA did not allow the Club to even play pre-season friendlies in order to break in all the new players.
The SFA has also, illegally I may add, imposed a 2 year transfer ban as well as witholding prize money won fair and square from last season.
Mr. Green and the Club have been uhfairly pilloried continuously now for many months.
People seem to have overlooked the fact that nothing has been proved against RFC and yet we are portrayed as something akin to the anti-christ.
The EBT scheme referred to in the "tax-case" is merely similar to the same one used by many English Clubs, the BBC and many other large businesses.
Rangers enjoy a massive world wide support.
That support has given Mr. Green the confidence to move forward his plans for Rangers.
There is no doubt Mr. Green is bullish, because if he hadn't, the Celtic run SFA would have crushed the Club and put the final nail in the coffin of the already failing Scottish football.
Scottish Football which is now the laughing stock of World football led by the idiots Stewart Regan and Neil Doncaster, another 2 Englishmen by the way.

GROW UP! i have not read anything that is in anyway racist you fool! why shouldnt saints fans take offence when someone has a go at their club? this man is chief exec of a club that has 6 months history! rangers folded and this club is not rangers, it is rangers newco! i will also not have calls of racism from a rangers newco fan! (which i presume you are) rangers/rangers new co and celtic are not known for their sectarianism in scotland are they! my god (catholic or protestant) talk about living in glass houses shall we. rangers and celtic also had been subsidising the apl for years, without them in your league there would be no televising of live scotish games. i am sorry if celtic fans take offence to this as well but scotish football is poor compared to english, this may be because we are a bigger country or because of money. yes rangers and celtic have had some good results over prem teams but all teams can up their game for the big game. as for a euro super league, i cant see that happening, it would include clubs from england, germany, spain, france and italy. would the other countries vote for this? would liverpool get in? and if so why? they havent been very good in the prem for a few years!

Listen to you all, its pathetic, our support is bigger than yours. You sound like a primary school boy. What you are failing to note is Mr Green and all those other fat cats in football and in the business world dont care about the game, the sport, the history, the tradition, they are simply looking at the best ways of increasing their salaries. Green looks for his third division side to play in a European Super league with high gates and tv revenue. Well you can, its called the Champions League, which you fail miserably in every year. So dont bother looking for another pot of gold... you had yours but decided to pee in it instead. Greens story is a subtext...... god what have I let myself in for, where am i going to make my money. How are we going to get promoted if we cant beat some part time bakers and accountants in Stirling. RFC + GREEN = JOKE

Tbh, when all defenders are fit Jos doesn't get in the team. Steven Davis is pretty slow - our 17 year old, James Ward Prowse has been more impressive at CM. How you say Danny Fox is a "quality player" I have no idea, he's awful. We've started playing a RB on the left to replace him. I watched the SPL last year, and in my opinion, it is the equivalent of the Championship - quality fans though. Good luck for the rest of the season and in Europe.

Twice out of six attempts; on two other occasions, we were denied progression by a questionable penalty award to G14 clubs (Juventus and Lyon).

It is a fact that most clubs in the SPL operate on tight budgets; however if SKY were to divert the money it takes from Scottish subscribers back into the Scottish game, it might a different story. IMO, it's a disgrace that failure - i.e. relegation from the EPL - is rewarded with a £30m 'parachute.

As for the proclamation that the EPL is 'the best in Europe': do any of you watch La Liga or the Bundesliga? Your champions got taken apart by the Borussia Dortmund within the last fortnight; only the goalkeeper saved them from a hiding.

Isn't the keeper one of the eleven players and part of the team? History will tell us it was a draw.

Please people realise that Green is a Yorshireman and Not a Scotsman. We up here in Scotland are just as angry at his comments than people south of the border. This in no way represents the general thought of anyone outside Rangers Newco.

Since he bought Rangers assets, Charles Green has caused nothing but controversy. Every day there is a report in our newspapers and on radio about his views. No one outside Newco even cares what he thinks. We all laugh at him up here.

He has a poor team, in a poor league with no success, titles or any club history. Judging by his comments he is still trying to pass this off as the Old "glorious" Rangers and if that is the case then they are due creditors £135M , £100m of that belonging to the public purse.

The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says: "Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"

"Because I'm not a Gers fan," she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked: "Well if you're not a Gers fan, then who are you a fan of?"

"I'm a Southampton fan, and proud of it," Mary replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears.
"Mary, why, pray tell, are you a Southampton fan?"

"Because my mum and dad are from Southampton, and my mum is a Southampton fan and my dad is a Southampton fan, so I'm a Southampton fan too!"

"Well," said the teacher, in an annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Southampton fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all the time. What if your mum was a prostitute and you dad was a drug dealer and car thief, what would you be then?"

It's a very provocative headline and they are often the ones that see these threads disintegrate into rather broad insults which is a shame. Been guilty myself once or twice! We also have a few occasional Scottish posters who are rather arrogant and dismissive of us and tell us all about Celtic and Rangers dominance. There’s no shortage of takers on here that express the opinion that neither team has any real competition, myself included. You are entitled to your opinions but I think Steven Davis is a very good player, Danny Fox not so much! You may have opened a can of worms there. Can't say I agree with your Celtic in the premier league theory either. Very rare European cup ties between Scottish and English sides and the hype and pressure they evoke are a great leveller. I can't believe you use your European exploits to prove this point when Scottish sides are generally so abysmal in Europe even against some very small teams. I'd like to see Celtic in the Premier league, why not, we accommodate welsh teams, have done for decades. Then we could really see how our respective club football measures up. Good luck to you too.

As amazing and as groundbreaking as Girls Aloud are, they've not had much to say about the military-industrial illusion of democracy and the brutal reduction of life that exists in modern-day Britain. This was one of the strengths of Xtrmntr.

You're not too late - let's debate the tits off this.

Which do you think is the best Primal Scream album? Conventional wisdom would go with Screamadelica - and it certainly is a work of genius - but personally I would go with Xtrmntr. I think there's a passion and intensity combined with a sense of sonic experimentation that hasn't been matched by anyone since.

Really ?

What about Girls Aloud ?

As amazing and as groundbreaking as Girls Aloud are, they've not had much to say about the military-industrial illusion of democracy and the brutal reduction of life that exists in modern-day Britain. This was one of the strengths of Xtrmntr.

That said, Bobby Gillespie has never written a line as brilliant as "without any meaning we're just skin and bone, like beautiful robots dancing alone" (Nadine sings it). Genius.

And they are eminently more shag@ble than Primal Scream. Even the Ginger one.

Turns out we don’t think Hooper has the class to play in the big boys league and so we passed on the option. Turns out he’s just another Henrik Larsson without the dreadlocks

Would this be the Big Boys League which you've NEVER been in & he scored in quite recently, or another one ?

Another Hendrik ? Yes please !

Assuming that's the Henrik Larsson who also went on to play for Man U & Barcelona. Never gonna equal that Billy Sharp you got instead.

They are still Rangers and your biggest nemesis and you need them. Forget about the business bolllocks, look at the fans still turning up each week for their fixtures.

It’s a similar scenario to our Skunt neighbours Portsmouth. Admittedly they can’t pack their park but they too could be liquidised any time soon. They may then go under another name for business reasons, but their fans will remain the same. The Blue Few as they are known in Hampshire

Yes they have a massive crowd etc but they bring nothing but shame to oiur game and i quite frankly would love for them to leave and join a super league.

We were warned of a doomsday scenario if Rangers didnt get back in the SPL and yet that hasnt happened. We are all coping very well . We dont need Rangers in Scotland and they **** well know it. The Old Firm dominated us for years and created a duopoly. Now this gives other teams a chance for success and a crack at wiinning the league and in turn making some money.

rangers have been completely isolated since this happened and they want to punish everyone for it. They deserved to dissapear off the face of the earth but they still exist.

Lets face it greens comments are based on SOUTHAMPTON lack of top flight honours the only honour saints achieved is a second division side catching MANCHESTER United on a off day with a pompey lad scoring a winner back in the 70s i think ? . SAINTS as green says your out of your league ! .

have to ask how many times celtic get through group stages in champions league and i was at parkhead two weeks ago to watch celtic football was no better than championship all one way traffic for celtic and other than the small section of the green brigade it was very quiet from the fans

Twice out of six attempts; on two other occasions, we were denied progression by a questionable penalty award to G14 clubs (Juventus and Lyon).

It is a fact that most clubs in the SPL operate on tight budgets; however if SKY were to divert the money it takes from Scottish subscribers back into the Scottish game, it might a different story. IMO, it's a disgrace that failure - i.e. relegation from the EPL - is rewarded with a £30m 'parachute.

As for the proclamation that the EPL is 'the best in Europe': do any of you watch La Liga or the Bundesliga? Your champions got taken apart by the Borussia Dortmund within the last fortnight; only the goalkeeper saved them from a hiding.

The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says: "Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"

"Because I'm not a Gers fan," she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked: "Well if you're not a Gers fan, then who are you a fan of?"

"I'm a Southampton fan, and proud of it," Mary replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears.
"Mary, why, pray tell, are you a Southampton fan?"

"Because my mum and dad are from Southampton, and my mum is a Southampton fan and my dad is a Southampton fan, so I'm a Southampton fan too!"

"Well," said the teacher, in an annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Southampton fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all the time. What if your mum was a prostitute and you dad was a drug dealer and car thief, what would you be then?"

"Then," Mary smiled, "I'd be a Gers fan!

Pertinent facts being,at the moment Rangers home attendance is averaging around 48k whilst Southampton's is about the 28 k mark. One would expect more from a Club which is currently playing in one of the top Leagues in the World.
Rangers are, as several people have already said, are playing at the lowest level in Scottish Pro. football yet can still attract almost double of SFC's.
Mr. Green has therefore a very marketable commodity, especially when the hundred's of RFC Supporters' Clubs throughout the World are added, something the likes of Clubs like Southampton FC can only dream of

All of them, loyal? Or blind to a few home truths? Our 'pack the park' specialists down the road are cut from the same cloth if you ask me. Conveniently interpreting history and facts to suit their own rose-tinted world view. It matters not a jot that there were 45000 at a home game versus Montrose. What matters is that Rangers - that club which does not exist any more - was punished for breaking rule after rule and owes millions to creditors including over £100 million in tax!!. Any Rangers 'fan' refusing to accept the truth by now is as much an embarrassment to the game as that idiot Charles Green.

It's a very provocative headline and they are often the ones that see these threads disintegrate into rather broad insults which is a shame. Been guilty myself once or twice! We also have a few occasional Scottish posters who are rather arrogant and dismissive of us and tell us all about Celtic and Rangers dominance. There’s no shortage of takers on here that express the opinion that neither team has any real competition, myself included. You are entitled to your opinions but I think Steven Davis is a very good player, Danny Fox not so much! You may have opened a can of worms there. Can't say I agree with your Celtic in the premier league theory either. Very rare European cup ties between Scottish and English sides and the hype and pressure they evoke are a great leveller. I can't believe you use your European exploits to prove this point when Scottish sides are generally so abysmal in Europe even against some very small teams. I'd like to see Celtic in the Premier league, why not, we accommodate welsh teams, have done for decades. Then we could really see how our respective club football measures up. Good luck to you too.

A well thought out & sensible reply.

Except your crappy wee club won't be in the Premier if we decided to honour it with our presence.......

I ask that question, because I firmly believe that in a competitive fixture, Celtic would beat the majority of clubs in the EPL, and certainly give the big four a game of it - lest you forget, Celtic won the head-to-head against the English champions six years ago... and didn't Hearts (not even in the top half of the SPL) only lose to Liverpool thanks to a late o.g. in the first leg? By all means, express your anger at Green (he's from Yorkshire, btw - ask Sheffield United fans about him), but don't denigrate what you haven't seen. The fact that your club signs players of the questionable ability of Steven Davis and Jos 'Bombscare' Hooiveld says more about your club's status and ambition than league position ever will; however, in Danny Fox and Artur Boruc you have signed two quality players, particularly AB. As for the jibe about Middlesbrough, look who manages them; we are WELL shot of him. Good luck for the rest of the season.

As a Celtic fan I normally find Green's ramblings fairly amusing.....but this rant was downright embarassing. He's chairman of a newly created club that didn't exist 6 months who are laying claim to the history of a team with a similar name that went bust during the summer (or more accurately claiming the right to milk that now defunct team's fans for all he can)....you'd think that he'd want to win as many allies as possibly rather than insulting teams with proper history who have actually earned their position in the league they play in. It seems like it's par for the course for him though....he's done nothing but insult the rest of Scottish football since he arrived on the scene even though the SFA, SPL & SFL have bent over backwards to try and create a space for them in Scottish football. Far from being victimised as he states they have actually been done a huge favour by Scottish footbal as a strict application of the laws would have required them to operate in non-league footbal for three years and present a full set of accounts for that period before being allowed to apply for inclusion in the bottom tier of the SFL if there was a vacancy. Anyhoo, please don't judge Scottish footbal by this nutjob's ramblings - he's just a scavenger from Doncaster who saw an opportunity to make a quick buck buying the carcass of a dead club that he had no previous connection with.

When Danny Fox is selected and plays for scotland - the deal seems to be that he is a very special talent.

The fact is - scotland are not very good - so playing for them does not mean much.

That said - I like Danny Fox.

Regarding sad old rangers - they are a tinpot bankrupt outfit and no-one with any sense would invest in them.

It would have been great to play them pre-season and smash in five against them - no problem (and their supporters)

WE ARE THE MIGHTY SAINTS.

WEARING THE SHIRT SHOULD MEAN EVERYTHING TO THE PLAYERS AND THE SUPPORTERS.

WE GO TO wet spam FOR THE WIN.

We owe it to ourselves and Nigel and the Players owe it to the Supporters to start getting the WINS and the respect of those teams around us.

We have the attention of villa after the 4-1 demolition - we need to do more of the same.

Please people realise that Green is a Yorshireman and Not a Scotsman. We up here in Scotland are just as angry at his comments than people south of the border. This in no way represents the general thought of anyone outside Rangers Newco.

Since he bought Rangers assets, Charles Green has caused nothing but controversy. Every day there is a report in our newspapers and on radio about his views. No one outside Newco even cares what he thinks. We all laugh at him up here.

He has a poor team, in a poor league with no success, titles or any club history. Judging by his comments he is still trying to pass this off as the Old "glorious" Rangers and if that is the case then they are due creditors £135M , £100m of that belonging to the public purse.

You are right in many ways but in the end a little naive.
They are still Rangers and your biggest nemesis and you need them. Forget about the business bolllocks, look at the fans still turning up each week for their fixtures.

It’s a similar scenario to our Skunt neighbours Portsmouth. Admittedly they can’t pack their park but they too could be liquidised any time soon. They may then go under another name for business reasons, but their fans will remain the same. The Blue Few as they are known in Hampshire

as an Aberdeen fan( and Saints fan ) Rangers are by no means our nemisis, well atleast not anymore.

I completely refute the accusation of being naive. Afterall we up here have seen first hand exactly what Rangers have been through. The only ones at fault for Rangers predicament is Rangers. Yes they have a massive crowd etc but they bring nothing but shame to oiur game and i quite frankly would love for them to leave and join a super league.

We were warned of a doomsday scenario if Rangers didnt get back in the SPL and yet that hasnt happened. We are all coping very well . We dont need Rangers in Scotland and they **** well know it. The Old Firm dominated us for years and created a duopoly. Now this gives other teams a chance for success and a crack at wiinning the league and in turn making some money.

rangers have been completely isolated since this happened and they want to punish everyone for it. They deserved to dissapear off the face of the earth but they still exist. In their existance they will be hell bent on taking down anyone along the way. Greens comments on Saints is another ploy to get his fickle followers to spend money on his share issue and in return he will TRY get them into a superleague. Its all sad really!

Fair enough, I admit I and most Saints fans on here have probably been looking at this story through Blue and Green glasses only.

As for doomsday scenarios, we will see.
How many clubs fold due to the fall out will be evident by the end of the season and not by the first few weeks.

Lets face it greens comments are based on SOUTHAMPTON lack of top flight honours the only honour saints achieved is a second division side catching MANCHESTER United on a off day with a pompey lad scoring a winner back in the 70s i think ? . SAINTS as green says your out of your league ! .

Rangers is a new club. The old club is dead. The idiot this article about is talking about the old club that is dead and buried. If Pompey finally dies with dignity, the newco that rises from the ashes will not be able to claim past glories like purchased FA cups and money stolen from charity...

have to ask how many times celtic*get through group stages in champions league and i was at parkhead two weeks ago to watch celtic football was no better than championship all one way traffic for celtic and other than the small section of the green brigade it was very quiet from the fans

Twice out of six attempts; on two other occasions, we were denied progression by a questionable penalty award to G14 clubs (Juventus and Lyon).

It is a fact that most clubs in the SPL operate on tight budgets; however if SKY were to divert the money it takes from Scottish subscribers back into the Scottish game, it might a different story. IMO, it's a disgrace that failure - i.e. relegation from the EPL - is rewarded with a £30m 'parachute.

As for the proclamation that the EPL is 'the best in Europe': do any of you watch La Liga or the Bundesliga? Your champions got taken apart by the Borussia Dortmund within the last fortnight; only the goalkeeper saved them from a hiding.

I thought the Champions league was won by the team that finished sixth in the EPL!
City struggling in one game isn't really indicative of the quality of European leagues in general.
P.S. Sky broadcast whatever reaps the best viewing figures for their advertisers. I think it is safe to assume that the large payments made to EPL clubs relies on the ability to negotiate based on those figures.

For him, and any so called fans that support his views, isn't it time you woke up and smelled the coffee? Rangers does not exist. It's gone. Over. Finito. Kaput. Dead.

You are 50% correct: the acolytes of Rangers (RIH) and Newco hate Catholics; Celtic fans hate injustice and undue power and the abuse of its consequent influence. We're not biased: we will swap scarves an get drunk with any home support

It's a very provocative headline and they are often the ones that see these threads disintegrate into rather broad insults which is a shame. Been guilty myself once or twice! We also have a few occasional Scottish posters who are rather arrogant and dismissive of us and tell us all about Celtic and Rangers dominance. There’s no shortage of takers on here that express the opinion that neither team has any real competition, myself included. You are entitled to your opinions but I think Steven Davis is a very good player, Danny Fox not so much! You may have opened a can of worms there. Can't say I agree with your Celtic in the premier league theory either. Very rare European cup ties between Scottish and English sides and the hype and pressure they evoke are a great leveller. I can't believe you use your European exploits to prove this point when Scottish sides are generally so abysmal in Europe even against some very small teams. I'd like to see Celtic in the Premier league, why not, we accommodate welsh teams, have done for decades. Then we could really see how our respective club football measures up. Good luck to you too.

A well thought out & sensible reply.

Except your crappy wee club won't be in the Premier if we decided to honour it with our presence.......

Wee crappy club, population of Glasgeh and it's satellites is probably 10 times our population...yet you only get 1.5 times our attendance...still not bad for a newly formed club.

I'm a Saints fan and go to watch Saints, OK it's nice to watch the likes of Barcelona and Madrid on TV but I have no interest in who wins their League.
How often could fans could travel to away games if a euro league were to be formed.
True fans support their local teams and watch them, not bigger clubs.
Set up a European league let the big boys sod off and when it goes tits up don't let them back in.

Have just caught this thread, and depressed to see a predictable unleashing of ill-informed anti-Scottish bigotry. My handle does give away my provenance, but I'll say this anyway:

Confucious is spot on - Scotland is a net contributor, given the natural resources in territories - the same as any independent nation state would enjoy.
Seedhouse (did you really call someone else "You arrogant tw@t"?) - why would the English have any say in a referendum on the self-determination of another country's citizens? In the last throes of British empire even the Colonel Blimps didn't insist on that.

I have always despised Rangers as a club, as someone who grew up in Scotland in the 60s and 70s when they still refused to sign Catholics, treated the Ibrox disaster victims' families shamefully despite damning evidence of cover-up and negligence, and had a supine press, SFA and referees in their pocket.
But Rangers and Celtic are massive clubs, certainly in the UK's top five, if the got the Premiership money. In sheer passion, volume, and rivalry the Old Firm derbies have no equal anywhere in the world, because no other rivalry - even Real and Barca - cuts alongs sectarian lines like they do.

The slight to Saints wasn't personal, it was just the boasts of a once great club in straitened times.

One other thing. Why can't you Southerners pronounce your "r"s and speak the Queen's English like the Scots and the Northern English?

Be honest - say "pour" "paw" and "poor". Funny they all sound the same!

Sorry to go OT, but that's another complete untruth: Scotland is a net contributor to the UK Treasury... why else is that maggot Cameron and his cabal of Thatcher devotees (aided by the Liar-Dems) so desperate to frustrate the referendum process, when the removal of Scottish MP's from Westminster would guarantee the Tories *hawk, spit* a majority for eternity at Westminster?

You completely missed my point, confirming the arrogance of it all. The taffs and sweaties have all had their say to one degree or another about self determination. Many English would like to see an end to the union and we would like a say - not as to what Scotland does - that's up to you but what we do. What if Scotland votes to stay part of the union, is that forced on us? You want a voice for yourselves but not for us. You also misread Confucious points, he does not say that Scotland is a net contributor.

He's rather like the cartoon of the idiot woodchopper who is in a tree sawing away on the branch that is supporting him. He is in for a fall and doesn't know it yet.

I don't doubt that a European league will emerge one day. But I think it will be an overpriced, over televised monster that is completely removed from the reality of the real spine of football. i.e Local Clubs, football in parks, Sunday leagues !!

.. and when that super league arrives ..... Rangers sure as hell won't be in it.

Like that Braveheart bloke with the bad blue eyeliner, he'll end up with his head on a spike.

He mentioned Swansea too ... and what have Saints ands Swansea got in common? We are both PREMIER LEAGUE .... the finest league in the world, not some highland subbuteo league where the annual turnover trebles if half the crowd buy crisps with their half time haggis.

This has to be a prime candidate for the next one of those TV specials "Fifty Greatest ****ing idiots in charge of third division jock football teams" ....

This "pompous little man" is a Yorkshire man. I wish some people would research facts before making a public fool of themselves.

Your post is also borderline racist my English friend.

We want a voice for ourselves but not the English - where did you get that leap of logic? Self-determination is just that - it's up to the English to decide what they do. English regions have been offered devolved powers but have largely chosen not to take it. English nationalists seem to be a crankie mix of eccentrics or knuckle dragging racists so you may not be able to coalesce under the same shared values. I suspect Geordies and Scousers have more in common with Scots and Welsh than they have with Londoners or Southerners. Certainly on politics and values.

You're right about my misreading Confucious - I meant the enlightened Otis B.
