No Antonio then? That's fair enough - if he's not going to be with us next season there's no point playing him.

Highway to hell mate! Oh and spoke to Gareth yesterday - he's up for a ST next year as well (beardy weirdy ales permitting of course).

Thank christ for that.

Don't think so but lads I spoke to weren't sure. They also mentioned they were thinking of a system where you could pay for your halftime pint before the match, get a ticket and then pick it up quicker at half time - bit like they do at theatres. This was only an idea though - don't think it's definite.

I heard this last week from a couple of lads who work there as well. Compass are the catering company and their contract is up at the end of the season so Cortese has decided not to renew and bring it in house. Apparently he wants gourmet food and people served twice as fast. They were also talking about a "super bar" which would have about 20 tills and just sell beer. There wasn't any talk about what beer they'd be selling though.

New Forest East Ladbrokes - 93% chance of a Conservative win Finktank - 100% chance of a Conservative win Yep, PR would be a disaster.........

I apologise, although i could of course argue that UKIP is an extreme party and ironic given your concern about extreme politics. Shouldn't you be voting for a main stream party, or is that next week's opinion? You really are a gift though - don't stop.

says the BNP voter....would have thought you'd enjoy polarisation of politics? At least your vote would count more than it does at the moment.

IF the next parliament delivers PR and a fully elected House of Lords then it'll have done a lot more than most previous governments. It will have put paid to the argument that unless you live in a marginal then your vote doesn't count. It will remove hereditary idiocy. What is there not to like?

For a person who'll be voting BNP precisely because you think it will lurch the Tories further to the right you have a bizarre way of expressing your opinions. Surely PR in this case would strengthen your case? Or was that last week's opinion?

I agree with this. When you think that he's coming to the peak of his career and that a quarter of his appearances (in his whole career) so far have come on loan with Lincoln this season and he still wasn't rated much then it really must be time to re-evaluate things. His Dad was no great shakes as a player but he's done OK. Anthony needs to find his level without the baggage that being his father's son brings with it.

It's fair - when you're 25 and have played 28 games including sub appearances in his whole career then the fact he has a pro contract is not down to his footballing ability. Fair play he's made a decent amount of money but he also deserves the stick that comes his way.

Thing is the parties don't actually get to see your ballot paper so you won't get the benefit of sending that particular message. Last election I just wrote "No Choice" but that was more to do with the fact that any party I wanted to vote for didn't stand in my constituency - this year is different thankfully.

I don't know...will 10 million be enough? I thought we had an owner that thought big but turns out he's a miser that wants to do things on the cheap. BOO!

Good. If we're going to play like a national team that plays in yellow and blue then we should look like them too.

I can't believe this hasn't been raised before. Within seconds of him coming on I said to my mate "Who is this central midfielder - he is so dominant". He totally bossed the midfield and did the simple things well. He did the complicated things complicated and I'm sure i caught him speaking Esperanto at the same time. Trust me, he's not just one for the future - he's one for Christmas too. Based on that performance he shouldn't just make the world cup squad - he should be picking it as well. Does that help?

Good. If we're going to play like Brazil then we should look like them as well.

Stop aiming low FFS! There's 138 points up for grabs and we shouldn't be dropping any of them! 100 goals is only a ratio of just over two a game but I'd agree a goal difference of 100 would be acceptable.

I agree - the more decent teams in the division the better. I want teams who can challenge us, teams with stature and resources. For personal reasons I really want to thrash Charlton as well.

Here's what I want for next season: I want us to win every game by a minimum of three clear goals I want us to play like the Brazil 1970 side. I want the leading goalscorer table to be made up entirely of Saints players. I want cheap season tickets I want to get served quickly at half time. I want Walkers Crisps to introduce a Southampton range. I want to thrash Pompey at Fratton in the FA Cup. I want us to unearth a youth player who is the best player in the world and who never ever wants to leave. I want kids in Manchester wearing Saints kits and being called glory hunters. I want all of these things and more but what I really, really want is for the bloke who sits two rows behind me who moans, groans and inexplicably yells out inane comments like "Two's and Three's" to realise that he has no footballing knowledge whatsoever and that it would be better for society if he had his jaw wired shut.

To be perfectly honest the labour party so far has roped in Eddie Izzard and Sean Pertwee for their election broadcasts with David Tennant voiceovers so they're hardly in a position to complain about celebrity.

Lambert easily. Thank god he's our player. When he signed it was the most exciting signing for years and for once we've got a player who has lived up to that expectation. I'd guess that every club in this division and most in the Championship would want him - they can't have him.

Conservatives celebrate the fact that they didn't **** up again? Thing is the Tories didn't do very well but they did OK. I doubt they won many swing voters but probably didn't lose many either. If that's success for the Tories then their supporters need a bit of expectation management. I can see a hung parliament and the price for that will be PR. I've got to hand it to Clegg - he's capitalised on the debates and could hold the key to making sure that every vote ( in subsequent elections) does actually count. Quite exciting really.

Probably the last World Cup I got totally into. Not that later ones might not have been good but life gets in the way. I was 18 in 1990 and could watch every game and although I attempted the same in 94 without England in it it wasn't the same. Watched the final in 90 in Majorca in a hotel dominated by Germans so naturally teamed up with some Irish lads and supported Argentina. Happy days.
