I don't. This place has become utterly tedious and a waste of time.

Very much like a milder version your fair crater of an Island.

Not Southampton, but I am in the process of moving back to the Winchester area after leaving for University 12 years ago. I still have friends/family in South Hampshire and an inherent love of the area rather then just Saints pulling me back.

Maybe slipped in to try and give the lad a bit of hope that the door isn't shut. Either way, not a great sign that he is being loaned out but it should at least help him establish a league career.

Put her in the microwave, see how she likes it.

In my understanding it was his choice to leave, therefore it would have been nuts to try relying on him if we chose to keep him against his will, especially when you consider his past behaviour. I wonder if any of the Palace fans changed opinion after he scored a couple in a row a month or so ago under Pulis?

I would swap Grosjean for Bottas if possible, Grosjean is going to be hampered by the Lotus chassis and renault engine. Also the McLaren for the Williams chassis, both should be good choices but Williams looked extremely impressive in testing so I would go all in with them.

Not so much a survey about Katharina specifically just foreign ownership in general then? It's not even a Southampton specific questionnaire.

Up: Leicester, Burnley and Wigan Down: Cardiff, Fulham and Norwich Would prefer Sunderland to go but I just can't see it. Norwich's finishing run of fixtures should be enough to see them down.

Party spending money on increasing popularity shocker. I wonder how much the other big parties spend on advertising and awareness schemes, what a complete non-story.

Nuclear fusion capable?

Good win against a side who have looked decent in recent weeks. A satisfying afternoon's work.

Nonsense, teams have been relegated with 42 points before.

Anthony Pulis' contract with us was alleged to have something to do with his Dad's potential move to us I believe. All very speculative but would have made a degree of sense.

The XI that never was: One they could afford. Interesting to see Drogba in there though, a player we apparently came within an inch of signing at one point.

Tyrrhenian Player: Dejan Lovren Adam in a mightily close second place.

I believe he had already agreed to join us at that point but his registration was still with Spurs until the transfer window opened.

Good shout! He wasn't here for 2006 though, and I don't believe he was in a Poland world cup squad for 2010.... Did they qualify?

Tomasz Hajto? He went after a few months to Derby, Kosowski was only ever on loan.

We may have a winner here, he left in the summer of 2007. Trinidad and Tobago competed against England in the group stages of 06.

Again in 2002, his free kick sent the Argentinians packing.

Wayne Bridge in 2002? Came on as sub a couple of times. Delgado had departed us for about 2 years in 2006.

Wow we're getting a lot of these recently.

You actually watched that shower of a game? Right?

That would seem to be that for testing. Here's a few conclusions I look forward to being stripped apart: 1) Renault have severely dropped the ball. A cut in budget over long period's of regulation stability has resulted in Renault not developing as competitive/reliable a package as Mercedes and Ferrari. Red Bull have done themselves no favours by tightly packaging the rear of the car which is exaggerating the overheating/relaibility issues that the over Renault teams have been suffering but even without this there would appear to be a lack of ultimate grunt in the new french hybrid power-train. 2) Williams have had an excellent off-season Fast and reliable, there is talk of Williams being one of the teams to watch. The new Mercedes power units have worked almost seamlessly with the new Williams' chassis. Felipe Massa and Valteria Bottas have adapted well to their new car and should be in the hunt for a god haul of points in Australia. 3) Marussia have a real chance of points. Of the two back-markers, Caterham and Marussia, the Russian owned team appears to have made by far the better fist of things. Times in testing have occasionally put them securely in midfield, only 3 seconds behind the front of the pack with both Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi having the measure of their car. With unreliability almost a given in Australia they should have a real chance of being the first of the newcomers to finally finish inside the top ten and secure a world championship point. Caterham on the other hand seem to have unveiled a bulky and mostly conservative car that has performed as badly as it looks. 4) Mercedes is the Engine to have. McLaren, Force India, Williams and of course Mercedes themselves have been the consistent lap time leaders. The engine is the common denominator. Ferrari have shown flashes of promise and Red Bull, despite their issues will no doubt have a fast if initially unreliable/underpowered car but the German engine seems to be a definite advantage. My prediction for a team running order in Australia. 1) Mercedes 2) McLaren 3) Williams 4) Force India 5) Ferrari 6) Red Bull 7) Sauber 8.) Marussia 9) Lotus 10) Toro Rosso 11) Caterham
