You bastard @btripz - I was just about to post that!!
Good to see someone standing up to the âbigâ clubs but with Chelski having the backing of the local council and oodles of cash I think theyâll lose.
Just like how Chelski managed to get their Cobham training ground. There hasnât been much investment in the community either - maybe apart from some people in Chelski training kit doing a couple of footie sessions at Teenage Mutantâs primary school - in 6 years (no named players btw)

Ah reminds me of the sheet ice in Southampton in 2010ish. I was running late so ran out of my building to get the bus I could hear. Slid across the drive and then noticed the bus had crashed into the bus stop. It took me half an hour to try and walk up Winn Road. Gave up and went home until it thawed.

As a reconstructed man of the 21st Century I find what follows, sexist and in very poor taste. It was sent to me by a friend so if you too find it offensiveâŚthatâs the kind of world weâre living in. 
People often ask for a simple explanation of âMarketing.â
Well, here it is:
* Youâre a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party.
_You go up to him and say, âIâm fantastic in bed.â _
Thatâs Direct Marketing.
______________________________
_* Youâre a woman and youâre at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy.
One of your friends goes up to him and, pointing at you, says,
âSheâs fantastic in bed.â _
Thatâs Advertising
______________________________
* Youâre a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number.
The next day you call and say, âHi, Iâm fantastic in bed.â
_ Thatâs Telemarketing._
______________________________
_* Youâre a woman and you see a guy at a party; you straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, âMay I?â and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, âBy the way, Iâm fantastic in bed.â _
Thatâs Public Relations.
______________________________
* Youâre a woman and youâre at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says,
_âI hear youâre fantastic in bed.â _
Thatâs Brand Recognition.
______________________________
_*Youâre a woman and youâre at a party and see a handsome guy. He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend. _
Thatâs a Sales Rep.
______________________________
_* Youâre a woman and your friend canât satisfy him so he calls you. _
Thatâs Tech Support.
______________________________
_* Youâre a woman and you are on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses youâre passing, so you climb onto the roof of one situated towards the center and shout at the top of your lungs, âIâm fantastic in bed!â _
Thatâs Facebook.
______________________________
*If you are a man and secretly disclose a list of names of those women who are fantastic in bed,
_Thatâs âInsider Trading.â _
______________________________
_* Youâre a woman and you are at a party; this attractive wealthy older man walks up to you and grabs your ass. _
Thatâs Bill Clinton
______________________________
_* You didnât mind it, but twenty years later your attorney decides you were offended and you are awarded a settlement. _
Thatâs America!

This is not PC but did he borrow that hair from Diana Ross and the Three degrees?
NB
I have Slept in Diana Rossâs Bed on a ship that her husband owned. When it was tied up in Southampton water.
Iâ like to invite a post on this page.
But the PC Police will probably arrest me so I wonât.

That was terrible @lifeintheslowlane . Weâre not allowed to post that sort of stuff these days. Itâs some unwritten law or something I saw on the innerweb and the papers.
Up vote for explaining marketing concepts. Should also downvote for how you explained them but I canât so it looks like you come out one up vote to the good

although I feel some sympathy for the people of Hawaii, this made me laugh
I donât actually feel any sympathy for them as Iâve got a bad cold/cough and probably have it worse than them.
