  1. Indeed, but a stadium expansion, while showy, will mean very little, if anything it will just drain immediate budget with a minimal long term effect on turnover if we sustain top flight status. In the very long term and assuming the Cortese ambitions are not b*llsh*t then it may make sense, but in the next 5 years. No.
  2. No. Just no. TV and Benefactor Money > Fan Money
  3. Lets wait until we've started giving a few of these sides a bloody nose in their own back yards first.
  4. Never mind that. Polly Jean Harvey MBE. Outstanding.
  5. Just finished this at last after focusing on more important matters for a month or two. Truly superb gaming.
  6. Previously used at Coventry City for Mo Konjic.... a Serbian. Yes, yes, I know. a 'big' club stole a song!!!
  7. Bullsh*t. This is just setting us up for another disappointing transfer deadline day.
  8. That picture alone is peaking my curiosity.
  9. Has to be Davide Astori.
  10. The facebook integration is something I use to share news articles/blogs, but I do not use the forum side of things. Frankly, the sharing I do use would be just as possible by simply cutting/pasting links onto there.
  11. No, they're not are they. The all white would be nice..... if a little MK Dons....
  12. It would certainly be 'interesting.' Only on the condition he has to refund all banned members.
  13. I wouldn't hold your breath.
  14. Grace Park? I greatly approve. And who are those two crimson beauties?
  15. No, as pointed out they wear white shorts/black socks. Check the kit history, the black shorts have been a mainstay since we went away from blue shorts in 1950 with white socks taking over since the mid 70's. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Southampton/Southampton.htm The point is, there is more to identity then just the shirt.
  16. Have been looking forward to this, especially with the interest that we have with two players participating. (Gaston Ramirez and Maya Yoshida, Tadanari Lee didn't make the Japan squad sadly.) Full Squad Lists here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_FIFA_Confederations_Cup_squads The representatives from Oceania, Tahiti stand out as the underdogs, therefore I would love to see them surprise a very people. With all but one of their squad playing in Tahiti itself it will be unlikely. Group A does look particularly tasty, with no USA around this time I fancy Mexico as a dark horse, saw their Olympic team in Coventry last year and they were superb. Not surprised to see Brazil as favourites, particularly at home, but with a weaker group and Brazil's squad really not being up to the standard of past greats I can't look past the Spaniards. It should therefore be Spain + One other from group B, fingers crossed Gaston can show why we put 12 million down for him and get the Uruguayans into the semi finals. Odds: Brazil, 7/5 Spain, 13/8 Italy, 6/1 Uruguay, 10/1 Mexico, 12/1 Nigeria, 25/1 Japan, 33/1 Tahiti, 1500/1 Fixtures: Group A 15/6: Brazil 3-0 Japan, Maya Yoshida played the full 90 minutes. 16/6: Mexico 1-2 Italy 19/6: Brazil v Mexico, 8pm 19/6: Italy v Japan, 11pm 22/6: Italy v Brazil, 8pm 22/6: Japan v Mexico, 11pm Group B: 16/6: Spain 2-1 Uruguay, Gaston Ramirez played the first half. 17/6: Tahiti v Nigeria, 8pm 20/6: Spain v Tahiti, 8pm 20/6: Nigeria v Uruguay, 11pm 23/6: Nigeria v Spain, 8pm 23/6; Uruguay v Tahiti, 11pm Semi Final 1: 26/6, 8pm Semi Final 2: 27/6, 8pm Third Place Playoff: 30/6, 5pm Final: 30/6, 8pm All matches are on BBC 3 or BBC 1 for some of the later kick offs.
  17. As I said last year, it's not just about the shirt, the red shorts and socks are the bit that leave the kit looking foreign. Throw in Black shorts and white socks and it will look a lot better.
  18. While people keep buying them there will be no incentive for the club to revert back. Yes, I do appreciate the irony of me saying this.
  19. I would just love it if he had said that to Martin Allen at some point this year!
  20. [video=youtube;t-8K8Hj8bxE]
  21. We need to introduce Pochettino to the concept of 'playing the percentages.'
  22. Yeah, we should be spending our money on someone domestic and proven like Adam Johnson. There's some real bang for your buck there!
  23. At least with Adidas you get stripes by default.
  24. How very 'Coutinho.'
  25. Not encouraging. But it won't have 'Wonga.com' on the front, right? Just hope it's hard wearing.
