Question 1 to A: Who did Southampton play in the last competitive game at the Dell? Arsenal Question 1 to B: Who did Southampton play in the first competitive game at St Marys? Aston Villa? A2: Who has more Southampton appearances than any other player? Terry Paine? B2: Who has scored more goals for Southampton than any other player? Mick Channon A3: Saints made it to two Wembley cup finals in the 1970s - who did they beat in the two-legged semi-final to make it to the League Cup final? Dirty Leeds B3: And who did we beat in a 3rd round replay on our way to the 1976 FA Cup Final. Villa A4: In 1982, Southampton fielded a team consisting of six past, present or future England captains. Shilton and Keegan were two of them, name one of the remaining four. Alan Ball, Mick Channon? B4: And name one of the remaining three Oh bloody hell. Mark Wright? A5: In 1968, Ted Bates sold a player for a then British record transfer fee of £125,000. Who was it? Ron Davies B5: And who is Southampton's all time record signing? Rory f**king Delap.

Just wondering, where did the idea that these shirts could be kept in the first place come from? Was it ever said by the person giving the shirts out or just assumed by the childrens parents? Edit: Just seen that the free ticket letter said the children would be 'given' a t-shirt to wear. Ok, an easy (if wishful) assumption to make. But still an assumption all the same, another lesson to the club, never leave a grey area in your gestures... despite a free something they will always want more.

I really wish I could be there tonight. Work however makes it impossible. What a stupid game to have midweek. Hope the boys do us proud tonight.

Club versus Country? A study into football fan loyalty
Colinjb replied to fanloyaltystudy's topic in The Saints
Not sure why that would wind you up so much mate? I've always seen it as an occasion, a novelty. A break from maybe the good or bad that is happening with your daily club. I've always enjoyed the gatherings in pubs to watch england, when it's a big game it's the next best thing to being there. -
Club versus Country? A study into football fan loyalty
Colinjb replied to fanloyaltystudy's topic in The Saints
Completed the questionnaire. However, there was little in there which really put you on the spot over which you prefer. Considering a managerial decision which is very likely to happen within 2 yeats I would end up being highly ambivalent over the national teams fortunes. I support England at the moment but never ever at the expense of my club. -
Is this the second season in? You may have about 20 million to spend (well I did....) but still so scout for frees. I managed to pick up David Bentley, Mido (Unproffesional but good) and Hatem Ben Arfa (Moody but good). Try loaning Federico Macheda if you can get him. As for Centre backs my three of Jose Fonté, Jay DeMerit and David Edgar (Can also play centre mid) are doing well. Tyrone Mears has also been a cracking signing. Andrew Driver from Hearts is a cracking left sided winger and Salaheddine Sbai from Nimes Olympique a great budget left back. (Keep Harding as back up.) I signed Manolo Reina (keeper) from Levanté for 130K, an utter steal. As another quick and excellent winger/forward look for Abdoul Camara of Stade Rennes. I am 8th in the Prem first season up using this: ------------------------- Macheda ------------------------- Driver ------------------- Ben Arfa ----------------- Bentley -------------- Schneiderlin ---------- Edgar ---------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Sbai ----------- DeMeritt ----------- Fonte ---------- Mears ------------------------Manolo Reina ---------------------- Chamberlain is developing superbly, use him were you can.

Just seen a demonstration of a 'floor wiper' on youtbe. Oh the humanity.....

Bloody hell. I'm trying to get fit at the moment but if I tried that I'm sure death would swiftly follow.

I hope she wins it! Just to expose how pointless it is allowing the public to have a say on 'talent' contests. They will just take the **** given the chance!

Redknapp, we all hate but we all know we missed out, don't we?
Colinjb replied to Noodles34's topic in The Saints
Wasn't he also linked to us when Glenn Hoddle left us back in 2001? -

Colinjb replied to Noodles34's topic in The Saints
Redknapp was always a bad fit from day one. A knee jerk reaction from Rupert Lowe to get one over Milan Mandaric. He would always have resisted any financial demands from his 'manager' and told him to do his job and manage the players. After the debacle of Steve Wigley though we would have accepted anything. His unprofessionalism after accepting the role here must be something that can never be forgiven. -
Serenity Dodgeball and Frost/Nixon This list changes quite regularly.

He was a lot better yesterday, still not firing on all cylinders but getting there. He deserved at least one goal for his endeavour. Even the best have lean spells. I believe in him.
-
Harry f**king Redknapp. Words cannot express my contempt for the man. As for players, never thought particularly highly of Quashie. Don't hate any other them really.

It will forever be Prutton v West Brom at the Hawthorns. What might have been.

Barman, I'll have what he's having.

This^ Sorry, but if you get your fingers burnt by indulging in piracy then you must accept the consequences.

The stripe goes the wrong way. During all the speculation this kit was seen as a possible template, besides, how much designing does a 'sash' kit take?

So she has gone from curvy to annorexic. She just can't get the balance right.

The entirely speculative 'replacements for Puncheon' thread
Colinjb replied to Colinjb's topic in The Saints
How much are they asking for him though? 2 million or so? A rediculous asking price. -

I believe he is playing quite well for Reading. It's hard to move on, I know.... -
The entirely speculative 'replacements for Puncheon' thread
Colinjb replied to Colinjb's topic in The Saints
Alex is a start, but if he got injured or suffered a spell of poor form (as these youngsters should have the perogative to do...) then we need a little bit of cover.
