Sarnia Cherie

Apart from having a CV full of porkies she has made it an attractive career choice for large families on benefits to continue living that way by scrapping the 2 cap benefit. The borrowing is off the scale. I think I saw a figure of £10b a month repayments on what we owe. For me, and this hits home personally, she pushed through a cruel 20% VAT increase on private school fees. Fine for those who have wealthy parents who won't blink an eye on the increase. However, many children have to go a specialist school because mainstream education in this country has failed them. This increase has resulted in some pupils having to go back to mainstream education and be failed once again. Reeves could easily have made an exception for parents of children with special education needs but she refused. Not only misguided but cruel.

I hope he gets rid of Rachel Reeves. Not sure who would take her place but a chimpanzee with an abacus could do a better job. Wes Streeting may get something. Always a good idea to keep your prospective enemies close. I would like to see John Healy come back as Minister for Defence again. He comes across as knowing exactly what is need for our armed forces. He is a rare thing in politics. Someone respected and liked across all parties.

Andy Burnham seems the best prospect when you look at who else might be keen on running in the leadership race. The thought of Wes Streeting, Ed Milliband and David Lammy fills me with dread but that changes to horror at the prospect of Angela Rayner or Rachel Reeves. We shall have to wait and see. It all seems like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Germany's great teams have been a distant memory for a while now.

Dear God. Are we reduced to that? As a female I suppose I should be supporting her but there are limits.

Sorry to be dim but who is she?

Tino Livramento has picked up a calf injury in training so won't play in the World Cup. Shame. I liked him when he played for us.

Oops. Not quite.😀

I thought Sepp Blatter was a low point for FIFA but Infantino leaves him standing. Everyone could see which way this was going when Trump was the recipient of the first FIFA Peace Prize last year. 2 of the most odious men on the planet on many levels.

Most of the world and definitely the UK could learn a lot from the Japanese. They are brought up in a culture that takes pride in their surroundings. School children clean their classrooms and school grounds. They believe it's a shared responsibility. I wonder what they make of Britain with it's out of control fly tipping and rubbish strewn streets.

I seem to remember his mate, Clive Woodward coming to Saints. Someone on here will know more but I don't think it went too well. What could you expect from a bloke who played with an odd shaped ball?

One of my favourite pastimes when these big tournaments are on. Spot the Saint, past and present. Surprising who pops up.

I was surprised he ever came back to competitive football after his first episode. He has a defib implant which clearly did it's job but maybe time to hang up the boots. I wish him well.

Lineker ought to be delighted that RM may be Leicester's next manager. 😀

It's a mystery to me why any club wants RM. Don't they look at his previous attempts at management? The definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and hoping for a different result.

Some good news, at last. A decent keeper who certainly played his part in helping us climb the league. All credit to Daniel for staying here with what has been going on. I hope this continues and we get more good news from the FA.

Dear God, Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse.

Can we change the record please? It wasn't funny before the ban. Give it a rest.

You have my imagination working overtime now. 😀

We haven't heard from the FA yet.

Exactly. Wouldn't you think with all that was at stake that they would have scrutinised those involved in the inquiry and appeal and insisted on a fair hearing with unbiased people. How come nobody at Southampton Football Club made an issue of this. It could have had a much different outcome. Yet another own goal scored by Dragan and Co and what a howler!

Just reinforces to me the zero respect they have for the fans who have consistently supported Southampton throughout the dreadful tenure of SR. Perhaps we need to stop spending our hard earned wages and measly pensions on this lot. Stop buying merchandise for a start. Up until last November the fans have endured the crap football dished up by equally crap managers, all appointed by SR, yet never has there been any real trouble or protests against those responsible. Time to make some changes.

Tuchel's words so must be how he feels. Whether his prediction comes good, only time will tell. I for one hope it does.

I agree. You could predict a good few of Southgate's squads before he announced them, irrespective of the season they had had. Tuchel said they may not be the best players but they make the best team. I like that.

1966. I am one of the old dodderers left who remember standing in a packed pub watching them win against the old adversary. Happy days. I keep hoping I will experience that again in my lifetime so come on Tuchel, time's running out, mate.
