  1. Portsmouth and Liverpool have had access to regeneration money from both the EU and and Government for years, something denied to Southampton. A while ago Brighton & Hove replaced the paving in some streets three times in ten years because they could get capital money to do it - but there was no support for street washing and bubble gum cleaning.

    I think there has been a deal in place with Morgan since last summer and anyway he has previously let it be known that he wanted CL football. Im sure Toby has known about the possibility / likelihood of him leaving for months. I'm not saying its not a factor in his decision, but it wont be the major one imo.
  3. Goals, thats the difference. The same reason good strikers are worth more than good goalkeepers, despite having similar influence on results.
  4. No still just a fear of an exodus. Couple more to go before the blind terror kicks in.

    In Lyon. Eff all to do with Calais.
  6. Im surprised none of the top four want a young England International for £10m. Cant help thinking they and Saints know something we dont.
  7. I was born in Southampton and have never heard of him, I wouldn't feel bad about it!

    Because Poland and Portugal have universal education and literacy and are following a legal path to entry to the UK. Afghanistan and Somalia dont. The chances of an illiterate man with no English and preparedness to break the law to get what he wants settling nicely into a job and paying the rent aren't stellar are they?
  9. We bought him for £2.5m and have probably paid him around £6m in wages in the three years since. If we sell him for £15m that means we got the three years free and made a profit of £6.5m. No too shabby.

    Part of it is the fact we speak English. If you are looking for a job and a better life then you will go where you speak the language. Far more Afghans, Somalis, Nigerians etc will speak a little English than will speak German, or Italian or French. The ubiquity of our language is part of the reason for the influx - not just from far flung places but also from within the EU.

    Brown and Blair were the only ones to attempt to tackle the problem, by introducing the minimum wage.

    Still no mention of anything but trucks. People might think the caravan hijacking thing was just made up hysteria.

    The BBC story doesnt mention any other port apart from Calais and nothing about a problem for anyone but lorry drivers - but go ahead, pretend there is support for the "if you take a caravan/motor-home prepare to be pirated by an armed man!" claim.

    Too much Daily Mail methinks. There is a problem at Calais,I havent seen anything at Dieppe or Dunkirk in the past couple of months.
  15. Not necessarily. A third party could have purchased it eg a developer, KL herself or a shell company set up for the purpose.
  16. No idea about your info, but if it cost the same to extend SMS in the City centre or to new build in motorway and retail shed country, Id stay where we are.
  17. I think he has posted on here a few times

    You need to put that in capitals if you want people to take you seriously
  19. If it was near Norway and if it had cliffs we could.
  20. Really? I must remember to refer to the Baltic Estuary in future
  21. God says to Jesus, "You remembered it's father's day?" Jesus says "what the hell am I supposed to get a man who has everything?!" "Omnipresents."

    I never doubt a statement made in capitals.
