I think the whole referendum debate opened quite a few eyes to what was going on. Ignoring the whole £350mill figure argument I was surprised at how much we paid into the thing for the privilege of having no control of our borders. I was also gobsmacked to find out a Polish immigrant living here could claim child benefit for kids living in Poland. I assume that was the UK amount not the Polish amount as well. Completely bonkers.

To be fair, league position is a pretty good gauge.

Maybe one reason the per capita growth figures are so poor is because of mass uncontrolled immigration.

Do they put in enough to pay for the added infrastructure and services of a new City the size of Southampton every year?

Is there actually a logical or practical reason why an EU country can't have some control of its borders and have access to the single market? The only reason I see at the moment is that a few politicians in Brussels consider it "having a cake and eating it". I'm sure if the people of France and Germany were polled they would prefer to have some control.

You kinda missing out the bit where he took over an established Premier League club and left it skint at the bottom of League 1.

I think it's great. It will be fantastic watching the clubs that traditionally poach our players getting a tast of their own medicine. They are only here for the money anyway so going China is no different. Hopefully Sanchez and Coutinho will be next, will be great to watch the ****** glory supporters of Arsenal and Liverpool cry like babies.

********, scoucers have always played the victim. As others have said, they keep banging on about Hillsbrough but don't seem quite so concerned about getting justice for the Italians they killed at Hysel.

I'm liking our counter attacking play, bodes well for the return leg. Ref was a ****ing disgrace, no doubt we can expect more of the same in a couple of weeks tho.

Only after extra time.

Great result but should have been 2 or 3. Great to see that goofy, four-eyed unshaven peado **** Klopp lose, Let's finish the northern ****s off at Anfield.

His 4-2-4 side is still the best Saints team I have ever watched.

I'm disappointed Fonte is not playing, he's still our player and he's better than Yoshida so should ****ing well do what he's paid to do and play. Hard to see anything other than a easy Liverpool win, we can't score for toffee and should have got a new sticker in by now if our board had any ambition. Can't see a defence with Yoshida in keeping Liverpoolout either. I think our best hope is a dour nil nil tomorrow and try and fluke a goal at Anfield and go through on away goals. Much will depend on what side Liverpool put out.

What a ****ing **** draw.

Did you have your head up your own arse all last June or something? All we heard day after day after day was the BBC ramming the possible negative effects on the economy down out throats. So called independent experts being wheeled out by the remain camp telling us lies about how the economy will collapse the day after the vote. If anything the economic effects were egagerated so everyone knew what they were voting for.

I don't want to be part of any organisation that describes having some sort of control of who comes into my country as "having our cake and eating it" I don't see any logical reason why all EU countries shouldn't have their cake and eat it as well.

So basically the experts were wrong, don't know why and things may get better or worse, they don't know. Best put as much of a negative spin on it as possible just so the first incorrect prediction doesn't look quite as bad.

Only going to end one way, if it is true. It doesn't seem like a happy camp so I would be surprised if it is.

You forgot the golden rule; Anything negative that has happened since the vote is because of Brexit, anything positive is not.

Post truth - what a load of ******. Politicians have always lied, egagerated and twisted facts and statistics to suit their agenda, they have done this all my life and I'm pretty sure they did it before I was around. The disparity we have now is that virtually all of our politicians are trying to implement something which is the polar opposite to what they think is the right thing to do. We need to have a general election with people standing with a manefesto they believe in, then let the public decide who and how we should leave the EU. The crux of the problem is that, above all, all our MPs care about is their own jobs. They won't call a GE and stand for remain because they fear losing their seat. Their selfishness is going to result in a right mess, they need to get the British people to put their money where their mouth is and give them the option of voting in Ukip and other Brexit MPs above what they currently have. If they genuinely cared about the country above their own interests that is what they would do.

Good post. But doesn't change the fact that we badly need a striker.

Union moaning about having to work a bit harder shocker.

I haven't had the chance to see it on the box yet, only from the view I had from the Northam stand (to be fair I am towards the back, was slightly drunk and wasn't wearing my glasses). But it looked very harsh. To be honest I'm not that interested in a forensic examination of the rules - If the situation was reversed and it was a Spurs defender doing the same to a Saints attacker at WHL then I expect it could happen 100 times, watched by 100 different refs and we would be lucky if we got a free-kick on the edge of the area and the defender a yellow.

I expect most have mental problems or suffer from some form of addiction. I doubt sleeping rough is an easy life so I'm sure most are not in that situation just because they can't be arsed to work. From what I've seen on TV they almost always have some story of abuse, mental breakdown or alcohol/drug addiction which leads them to where they are, some things that could easily happen to any one of us. The ability to empathise with another's situation is a sign of intelligence - looks like Chapel's 8 year old God daughter is ahead of many on here in that respect.

Rather use the money for a top striker.
