There are no words.

Have done many sports - played American Football properly for a couple of years (was a running back), played tennis, did Taekwondo for about 6 years (Hi Pilchards!), did Judo, did some boxing and I really enjoyed cycling! Love watching Rugby (Union and League) as well as football and with what little time I have now, have just regained my passion weights and for combat sports as well again! The "sport" I love watching most on TV is, bizarrely, Snooker - absolutely love it. I grew up with a snooker table, was never brilliant at it and I just love watching people who are actually very bloody good at it!

I didn't say "good" ... I said there is one, you plum I don't understand why anyone would want to be a veggie personally, but hey ho! It's a nice little place to eat, peaceful, in the New Forest and they do a veggie menu with "vegan" (which is even more odd - sorry Pilchards!) options - so it fulfils the criteria!

Sample veggie/vegan menu; mains Potato and onion galette with ‘Mrs T’s wild mushroom cream, wilted spinach and roasted courgette Stir-fry of vegetables with noodles and an oriental Thai sauce Local free range eggs with spinach, sundried tomato, goats cheese and red onion confit served 14.95 with dressed salad vegan Stack of Provencal vegetables served with herb cous cous and a tomato reduction All our main courses are served with vegetables supplied by Sunnyfields organic farm

One of my fav places; http://www.themillatgordleton.co.uk/restaurant.htm They do a Vegetarian/Vegan menu too.

I said that too - there are simply TOO many names this year! I would like to see Ellie Simmonds get it though, she has a HUGE personality, comes across as really nice and is the best in her class. Followed by Wiggins and Ainslie. Wiggins as the "best British Olympian" of all time and Ainslie for being the "best Olympic sailor" of all time. I enjoyed everyone else's win, but those 3 for me, stood out!

Like it or not mate, football is now "business", big business. You can blame the Americans (for what they did to their sports and the knock-on to us), you can blame Murdoch and Sky, but unfortunately, to pay the players and to even run a football club is now a lot different to even the 90s. I mean yes, if we were still in the Dell, there's no doubt we'd be a floating League 1/Championship club size, watching more wins than loses and being ignored by the media. A lot of football fans would love that, granted. But if you took over the club for example, you'd want to do as well as you could - that would mean upgrading the ground, getting better players and spending more money. To aid the income from Sky and sponsorship you need a fanbase, but in order to maximise fanbase potential, you need to become a global brand. It's a spiral. It is unfortunate, but it really would need clubs to stop asking for silly money for players and for players stop commanding such ridiculous wages for it to stop. So whilst a lot of football fans would love for football to be a non-commoditised business, a large portion of the same group would want the best for their club if they were in charge and would therefore succumb to same spiral

I'm not bothered, but, I would have swapped the two kits around - white as home and the red one as an away kit with a 3rd kit of the normal yellow.

Agreed mate!

And to follow, in the spirit of "stirring" on the internet - calling Man Utd 'manure' is a bit naff.

Brilliant, I love the bit I pasted below. The "internet generation" is completely intolerant of any opinions other than your own. I know I can be as bad as anyone, but I only do it to provoke debate (read as; stir sh*t up for a laugh). But anyway; [h=2]3) Southampton 1-0 Manchester United (FA Cup final, 1 May 1976)[/h]Hey pop kids!!! Anyone for some raging pro-United Guardian bias?!? You love it, you lot, don't you? Gertcha! Here goes, then, with the leader column of the Guardian on the morning of the 1976 FA Cup final between Manchester United and Southampton. "A newspaper can sit quite comfortably astride any convenient fence and say, for example, that though Manchester United are a glamorous footballing side, nevertheless Southampton have the romance of the underdog to set alongside the talent of Channon. Or vice versa. Wembley today, however, is no occasion for vice or versa. Manchester must win. A loss will be a disaster ... Throughout the season, dismantling dour defence after dour defence, United have sent a dozen managers back to the drawing board. The repercussions, exhilarating already, will gain permanence if Manchester United gain a major trophy. Football will win if they win." Imagine if this newspaper – if any newspaper – had the chutzpah to publish something like this today. The bottom half of the internet would shear off and frisbee away into outer space, powered solely by the hot heat of disproportionate outrage, never to return. Something which may or may not give our current leader writers pause. But back in the day, opinions were tolerated in the adult fashion.

On the cards for a while? Rachel Hammond ‏@HammondRachel Brighton in the sunshine is lush, mickey mouse show amazing for little ones, but £25 for 4 hours parking! Wowzers!!!!

You would have thought so. Him and his party will probably arrive at the best Business airport in the South ... Farnborough! I see enough white private and charter flights landing there every day, I'm sure they'll be on one of them.

Got to agree! BlakeySFC - I did say "most", not "all" and perhaps "most" was harsh, but it is annoying and I've started removing those that do it (go me, very self-righteous). Anyway - back to Ramirez - just been on Sky Sports News that Saints are close ...

Am I the only one finding most Saints fans on Twitter f**king tedious? "Hi Alan, how are Saints signing today?" "Hi agent, what's the latest on Ramirez?" "Hi Alan, what did you have for tea last night and how many bowel movements have to had today?" Muppets.

Never understood this, load of arse - I just sit on or remove the towels if there's no one there.

Coffin, nail; " "I can leave for €8million in the current market, and that is quite a lot of money - but I agreed to this transfer fee myself so I can't really complain," he said."There are clubs ready to pay that amount but they are not better than Anderlecht so for now I focus on this club. I want to at least be playing in Europe. "

I would agree with that, had he started and struggled to score, it probably would have started to play on his mind a bit - but coming on, scoring so quickly and influencing the game as he did would have done his confidence wonders!

I looked on their forum, didn't see any "nice" words, just a load moaning how scruffy Saints fans were and how they hope we go down etc.

I'm in Galway today, would like to see it on TV if I can, will no doubt be extremely embarrassed watching it with Irish men who will be laughing at our fat simpletons in face paints, jester hats, tight replica shirts "enjoying life in the Premier League watching plucky Southampton".

Serious business

Yeah I know, but opening day shocker and all that! Maybe a tenner is a bit excessive

1-0 to Saints is 33-1 ... I fancy a tenner on that!

Seriously, if this comes off, I will ... I dunno, I will do something "crazy" and post a picture on Facebook.
