I agree. Despite Redknapp's best attempt at ruining his potential, Bale has shown good determination and was probably the best player on the park yesterday.

If he's anything like you he'll be calling childline demanding they get him a new dad because his easter egg has not lived up to his very high expectations... What he's failed to realise is the slower he eats it, the better it will get. To the point where he will eventually find the egg inside the egg containing a toy and will eventually realise his Dad was right all along in buying the easter egg that he was initially complaining about.

Oh no... Lallana's just equalised on the stroke of half time.... Thats inexcusable. Pardew out.

He was unprofesionally unpaid as well. What on earth gives you a right to judge his appearance and how much he had to drink? He was there as a fan and was asked to play some tunes in return for a lift there and back by the organisers. I'm sure you'd have more tact and awareness than to say that to a persons face, why get so big and brave behind your computer?

If you are able to bolt your load in to some soil it creates a plant which flowers and then grows a human, then yes I guess you can class yourself as a fruit as well.

Hi all, I've just spoke with my Uncle who DJ'd this event. he is absolutely dismayed about some of the cutting and inaccurate comments that have been made towards him on this thread. He is about as big a Saints fan as you are likely to get and wants to go on record to say he agreed to do this "gig" as a favour and made no money at all from it. He has over 20 years of experience as a DJ and is very well known around the Southampton and Eastleigh areas as "Big D's Disco" or "Big Damon's Disco". I suspect a lot of you have probably been in attendance at one of his gigs previously. He did this as a favour to the organisers. The way it was sold to him is the event was costing so much for venue hire, extra staffing costs etc.. that no money could be offered for doing this but the opportunity to DJ in front of 2,000 fellow Saints supporters, interview a host of players from years gone by and the opportunity to soak up the pre and post match atmosphere in the supposed "Southampton Rocks Wembley" party was too good an offer for him to turn down. As a Southampton fan he did have a few drinks throughout the day which he was more than entitled to. He did the gig for free, why shouldnt he enjoy himself like everyone else was doing? He was also sucked in to believing the event was going to be professionally run as were most other people who have posted on this thread. He was told by the people running the event to get on the microphone to try and gee everyone up as well as playing the Southampton FC songs that kept being played. It should also be noted he was advised on the genre of music being played, being told it as going down a storm. Above all, he's a Saints fan who agreed to do a gig when asked for no personal gain to himself. It's all too easy to criticise behind a computer monitor and keyboard. What some of you need to realise is promises were made to us who attended about how great the event was going to be... why wouldnt the same be the case for the person DJing the event? He is genuinely sorry people didnt have a good time but having made no personal gain from doing this event feels its slightly unfair he is getting tarred with the same brush as those who organised the party and lined their pockets with a cool £20k.

The banana plant can be classed as a herb but the banana in its natural state in a fruit. It has been cultivated to not contain seeds but in its original form it contains a seed, has flesh and has skin.

Hi Dune, Get yourself over to the Big Easy on Kings Road in Chelsea. It's not quite central but close enough and their steak and meat it brilliant. As a footnote, someone replied to your original post saying save your money as pints cost £5. They are exactly the same price in London as you would expect to pay in Southampton. About £3.20 a pint.

Spot on. Said my brain was 24 and I am 24!! How clever!

Even better, it was actually 4-0!!!

Watt are you going on about?

Do you take the train from She Bu to Clapham (via where I live in Kensington Olympia) and then Clapham to Winch or Soton or do you go to Waterloo? The Clapham option is much quicker in case you dont do it already...

Funny. I've just started working with a company called Utilyx who are very much in bed with nPower... maybe I can get on the corporate box gravy train with them...

Great result that. By the sounds of it a fantastic performance in the first half and a professional effort in the 2nd half to restrict them to half chances. I dont care what anyone says this shows progress. This side even 2 or 3 months ago would have crumbled after 70-odd minutes and invited Leeds to attack us.

I think the point is more Liebherr is pumping a lot of money in to finance the club and isnt willing to associate the club with someone he doesnt believe "becomes" the Southampton FC brand. These people havent bought the club on a whim. They see the genuine potential this club has as a money making entity and the best way for that to start is be aligning ourselves with companies that befit such an image. Not some god-awful airline that sponsor half the clubs in the football league. I really cant see anyones problems with at least attempting the make the Southampton FC shirt a coveted advertising space. Sponsors like we've had previously are ten a penny and certainly not worth agreeing now when we've got over a year before another new sponsor is needed. We are in a position of stength and quite rightly the commercial department of the club are aware of this and aiming to make full use of it.

Perhaps we could do a deal with whydowehaveasmallproportionoffanswhodespitethemoneypumpedintotheclubrecentlydontseemtorealisethatromeisntalwaysbuiltinadayandaslongasthereisconsistentimprovementonthefield-whichthereis-wearemovingintherightdirection.com ?

My nephew plays in the same academy side as the son of someone involved in the commercial side of things with the club. The guy was talking to my brother in law about next seasons lack of sponsor and basically said Cortese is intent on waiting for as long as it takes in order to secure a proper blue-chip sponsor such as a Samsung, Sony or Vodafone, something of that ilk. He genuinely sees Southampton FC as a desirable brand for someone like that to align themselves with. Good luck to him I say... WOuld be nice to have a sponsor everyone knows of rather than some mickey mouse outfit in comparison like Dimplex, Sanderson or Friends Provident.

No, its Eric's brother Eddie I was thinking of. He was on our books 2003-2005. Eddie Odhiambo-Anaclet.

Eric Odhiambo just scored for Inverness Caledonian Thistle... wasnt he on our books at some point?

Taken. HTH.

The HMRC could expect a Frostie relationship with them if so... We'd all be saying Cheerio though...

tnaflix then? good choice!

Have you seen Owen's penalty record? It's cack.

Another two words; Michael Ricketts. I'm sorry but he is not international class. Hard worker, in good form for his club and scored a cracking goal last week but would you trust him 1-on-1 with Buffon in a world cup semi-final?

There is nothing Owen can offer that Jermaine Defoe doesnt surpass him in now. Our 4 strikers have to be Rooney, Defoe, Crouch and Carlton Cole IMHO. They all offer totally different things and there are some decent potential partnerships among them.
