Try telling that to the head-in-sand 'Yes' brigade. According to them it now transpires that the oil revenues are "only a bonus" and their economy "isn't reliant on it"...

Move the date of the wedding to when the band are available. Yours unhelpfully....

Talking of the Palace game... http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/crystal-palace-stars-are-granted-their-wish-as-pitch-will-be-relaid-9932967.html

Bit of a dilemma for Koeman..... Does he field our strongest possible line up and thus play players that aren't 100% fit or does he err on the side of longer term caution and play a less experienced but 100% fit team? Tricky one, especially on the back of 4 defeats in a row.

Brand is impossible to argue against as he advocates the creation of a world that nobody in their right mind wouldn't want. "So, who's for everyone being equal and living in peace and harmony and getting rid of all the bad guys?" "Oh, go on then you persuasive thing you....tick...." Unless Brand has stumbled across a secret serum that reverses tens of thousands of years of human evolution then he can point out all the bad stuff happening on the planet for as much as he likes but the human race is set on a course to certain oblivion and there's nothing he can do about it. Have a nice day y'all

We'd have had an empty stadium before the end of the Sunderland game under that system....

[video=youtube_share;O3GCvxaUA9k] Martinez: "I don't assess Southampton in their current moment of form. I assess them over what they have done all season. They are a joy to watch. I am impressed and not impressed with the job Ronald Koeman has done. I know how good of a manager he is. But he has adapted quickly." Que? Edit: just watched the video and he meant "I'm impressed but I'm not surprised with the job Koeman has done"

I can't see us getting anything off QPR this month...

Yep..... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?52743-Jose-Fonte#.VJGSgSusUrU

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. Kaiser Soze's threads have always been rational and well thought through..... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?42465-Southampton-F-C-amp-Nicola-Cortese-you-re-a-f-king-disgrace&p=1588029#post1588029

I agree pap. Things are only worth reading if someone writes something that is out of character. At least I don't have to read Brand's book to discover that he doesn't like capitalism.

Cheers CB Saint. Mods - perhaps pin this post somewhere to save countless hours trawling through every thread for one's daily dose of doom and gloom over the next few days?

Too sweet (for my taste). As SO16_Saint says, there's little or no non-sweet cold drink option available to non-drinkers ergo drinking something that roughly tastes like lager is a decent enough compromise.

Booing our own players after a couple of lacklustre performances? Lowered ourselves to Pompey fans level there then....

If we all started a thread every time someone posted 'repetitive mantra', 99% of the forum would be people moaning about other people. Actually, now I come to think about it.... Chin up...at least we're still 5th.

I've pencilled in mid-Feb to ditch the optimism and join in the doom and gloom.
