  1. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Southampton-Soccer-Jersey-15-16-Mane-Long-Pelle-Cork-Tadic-Wanyama-Southampton-Soccer-Jersey-2016/32344881477.html The ITK fakers have already been hard at work. Hopefully not so ITK regarding the 15/16 squad.
  2. You mean can he GK?
  3. Human statue? Shop window mannequin? Guard at Buckingham Palace? Some people just aren't prepared to make the effort.
  4. All makes sense, but under the FFP salary cap rules would clubs be able to offer those mega salaries when picking up the players for nothing?
  5. Luckily for us all 4 games are against teams who - as things stand now - can't really afford to play for a draw, which is where we can often come unstuck. So 4 wins then
  6. No excuse. I know that SMS isn't the noisiest ground in the country but even somebody totally unaware on arrival that a minutes silence is happening would immediately notice the lack of usual hubbub of pre-match anticipatory buzz, not to mention one quick glance at the pitch to see both teams lined up and stationary.
  7. Me too
  8. This. Then you can use it again on his 400th.

    eBooks

    Pretty much this. Kindle apps "work" fine on a tablet but within 10 minutes or so of staring at that non-changing back lit page(s) of text your eyes will feel sore as hell. No such worries with a kindle, visually the same as reading ink on paper, far more comfortable for longer spells of reading.
  10. Great day. Only my 2nd ever away day, (we won the first one as well, the next was the final. All downhill from there). Lasting memory apart from the match was having my foot stood on by a police horse whilst queuing at the turnstile.
  11. Not sure when transfers in or out are/were applied but .......
  12. Strange, bearing in mind that when we WERE at The Dell our mentality was to sign probably the - at the time - best goalkeeper in the world.
  13. Ignoring the ins and outs of whether we need to expand or not, has ANYONE expanded their stadium or moved to a bigger one in the last 20 years or so and NOT seen an increase in average attendance afterwards? I'm thinking possibly Wolves, who couldn't have timed it worse if they tried, but can't think of any others.
  14. 1. Did the United win put us pretty much out of the race? If we let ourselves think we're out of it then that'll become self-fulfilling. We're relying on them hitting a bad patch but we're not out of it. 2. Is there even a race or will it just be the top 4 as they are now? Of course there is still a race, top 4 have to be favourites, but has the fat lady sung yet? 3. Were we ever realistic contenders or does our relative squad size make it nigh on impossible? Hard but not impossible. We've had 2 really good spells this season where we've picked up points we've not expected to. Conversely we've had two poor spells where we've dropped points we'd have expected to gain. So overall the table doesn't lie although we've possibly not got to where we are in the way we expected. But just 2 wins off a CL place with 8 games to go? It wouldn't take a huge amount of strengthening to get there. Also our performances this year might just encourage a few other clubs that they aren't here just to make up the numbers, just possibly the "big 4" won't have things quite their own way in future 4. Would you be in any way disappointed with Europa League because you thought we had a shot at the CL? No. 5. Assuming we get there, would Europa be of equal, lesser or greater importance relative to the PL and other Cups next season? PL should be priority, but a good Europa run will give us a greater European (if not worldwide) awareness than a good FA or LC run would, making us even more attractive to new foreign signings in the future.
  15. Would love to see the "big" Euro-nations get together and make a stand. No fuss, accept it, enter as normal but all "accidentally" lose their qualifying fixtures. FIFA would be left with a finals full of the likes of Estonia, Malta, Luxembourg and Scotland.
  16. Not bookies but when my brother was full and gloom and predicting relegation he offered £20 bet that we would finish closer to 19th than 10th. Snapped his hand off. Maybe Redslo can confirm what the magic number will be when I can actually get him to pay up.
  17. How would that affect us though? Would 7th then miss out?
  18. I had the dubious pleasure of spending an evening in the company of this lady and her then husband/boyfriend/partner/whatever must have been 9 years ago as it was just after the older girl had been born. Let's just say none of this story surprises me.
  19. Any idea what happened to Jackson's Farm? Do we still own that? Any hint it will ever be built on?
  20. We better start looking over our shoulder regarding that one. Over 4000 at Eastleigh today. 'Ampshire has 2 teams now
  21. Good comparison pics. I (I see white and gold) also fiddled with contrast and brightness settings yesterday and eventually came up with an even deeper blue and black dress that I could see. I can also see the (paler) blue and black version in your adjusted pic. It's clear that it's a very poorly exposed picture but still doesn't explain why different people see that same photo differently. Surely we should all see the poorly exposed one. There's some logic in your compensation for the bright light on the top right theory except there seems little difference in that area on both of your pics. I've often wondered how we know that someone else is colour blind. How do we know who see the colours "correctly". As for dogs only see in b&w, how do we know? (or has QI debunked that one?) Still baffled.
  22. Cheers, still none the wiser then Weirdly I just accidentally scrolled upwards on this page, the bottom of a blue and black dress appeared which was white and gold again once I stopped scrolling and looked at complete image
  23. White and gold. So what's the explanation then? Saw same pic on fb this morning with dress described as black & blue. had no idea what is was on about.
