Indeed. I feel a new Carlsberg advert coming on... "If Carlsberg did irony...."

In other news: George Michael complains about the excessive amount of man love going on in Britain's prisons. In the words of my mate Richard Littlejohn: "you couldn't make it up"

It's a rare disorder

Heard from whom?

To be fair to Mr Cortese, he did give plenty of warning about the parking charges at St Mary's.... (sorry, not very helpful I know...)

I assume he'll have been able to keep relatively fit whilst out? i.e. he can still run around and stuff so won't be starting from 'square one' on the back to fitness ladder....?

Please can someone with a medical background (or access to Wikipedia) please tell me how dislocating a shoulder in July renders a player unable to play a game of football until October? Isn't it just a bone coming out of a socket and being put back again? Thanks

13 posts in the last 24 hours as a non-member.....come on, spill the beans...... ;-)

Just to add my two pence worth of salt to the wounds..... The latest "Latest News" article on the Saintsweb homepage is: "Pardew Sacked". I know it's been quiet of late but I'd have thought the arrival of Mr Adkins would have warranted a few words in passing....? :-)

Bugger - being a Tory voter I think I might have just painted myself into a corner....! :-)

To make their wives look good? ;-)

And forgetting the essential yachtspotter.com

But that's exactly how the LibDem advocated 'proportional' politics works, isn't it? i.e. you compromise your staunch beliefs for the better good. The Lib Dems got, what 15-20% of the vote at the general election? It therefore follows that they would have to compromise on c.80% of their policies in joint power. Isn't this how the Lib Dems actually want polictics to work....?

Footnote: I see the unbiased BBC are going into selective quote overload in their news bulletins.... ;-)

Yep, they're still going. 40 year anniversary next year I believe! Their drummer Iain Bayne is manager of a certain Southampton band....

That amusing play on words makes me chuckle every time. I'll never tire of such ingenuity.... ;-) That 'ConDem' one that Ed Balls trots out ad-nauseum is really clever too.

No, agree. Bit of an unecessary fishing rod statement from me in my second post. Not really in keeping with the spirit of the first. Sorry!

How would the chairman of a football club leaving said club render it unable to maintain it's current status? Even if he does up sticks the owners either find another person to run the club or sell up to another owner who will do the same. Or am I missing something obvious?

But, as I understand it, the point being made my some people is that when his "two years" were completed at the end of August he AUTOMATICALLY entered the third year of his contract as ALL footballer contracts renewal negotiations are by default deferred to the following June. In other words, there were no 'taking up the third year option' discussions at the end of August by EITHER party as he is still 'in contract' until June....it's simply not done in round number of years (my understanding)

Although the website does say: "The Southampton match worn football shirts are our own personal collection and are not for sale. All other club's matchworn football shirts sold are sold to help fund our ever growing Southampton F.C match worn collection and online museum." So, arguably, a 'not for profit' venture.

Bernie Clifton?

....And can you imagine the control freaks and spinmasters at Labour ever being happy to give their blessing to such a speech in the way No.10 has reportedly given to Cable?

I like him a lot - very clever man. My favourite quote from his speech this afternoon: Vince Cable: "I make no apology for attacking spivs and gamblers who did more harm to the British economy than Bob Crow could achieve in his wildest Trotskyite fantasies, while paying themselves outrageous bonuses underwritten by the taxpayer." .....attacking the banks and the unions with one stone....quite clever and refreshingly bi-polar.

Too late....I've come on...
