Really can't see us getting anything now. Not enough quality up front in these final stages.

Hello boys...

I really f***ing hate Reading now. Twice now - completely against the run of play. Absolute cooonts!!

I can't believe people are moaning about Chaplow tonight. OK, he got a little carried away to earn the yellow but he's been involved in all our dangerous play tonight. And just as I type that, he gets subbed for De Ridder. Shows how much I know doesn't it!

I want to have Rickie Lambert's babies! ;-)

Keep our headache???????

Well it's very annoying that we have been so dominant but find ourselves behind, but I take heart from the performance so far and as long as we remain patient then eventually the Reading defence will crack - of that I am certain. Just an observation I have made, and I fully expect to get flamed for it, but has anybody else noticed how much better we are keeping possession with Guly not in the team?

C**ts!!!!!!!!! Wtf!!!!!?

The only advice I can offer you is to avoid Europcar like the plague. When I hired a car with them in France a couple of years ago they cancelled my reservation without notice and then refused to reimburse me for the accomofation costs I incurred as a result. They took about 6 weeks to respond to my complaint and couldn't have been any more disniterested and unhelpful when they finally did.

Looks like a right laugh, but East Street isn't the only shopping centre in Southampton that offers itself as a candidate. Last time I was there the Bargate Centre seemed like it was almost abandoned as well.

I was working with a lot of neutrals at the time (mostly Sheff Utd or Barnsley fans) and all of them, without exception, said they thought we were by far the better team in both of the games against Derby and really should have won. So although the records show we lost out to the team who went on to score the lowest ever PL points tally, the reality isn't as black and white as that.

I just watched this today and I really enjoyed it. Yeah it's a little far fetched towrads the end but I thought it was a very well-crafted and tense film.

I love that album of hers. Saw here live a while back and it's amazing that somebody with such a soft and squeaky speaking voice can sing so powerfully!

Orbital - Wonky. Ok there might be some bias here because I have long been a huge fan of theirs, but I can honestly say I have never been this impressed with a 'comeback' album. It's head and shoulders above the last 3 albums they did before they split and right up there among the best stuff they have ever done (will never be better than In-Sides though).

Right, so Pompey have screwed the government out of £millions in public revenue due to their decision not to bother paying their tax and NI bill, and now they expect the government to bail them out with further funds from the public revenue. Have these morons no shame?

Not sure where you're getting that from but it's contradictory to what I have read and always understood to be correct. As I understand it, there was always some argument between Britain and Spain over control of them following the departure of the French, but at no point has Argentina, as a sovereign nation independent from Spain, ever actually been granted control of the Islands - they just assumed it was part of the package when they declared independence from Spain.

This I can relate to. Even in Southampton, there is a subtle but noticeable distinction between accents on each side of the Itchen. I grew up on the east side in Bitterne, but I also have some friends from over Shirley way and I have always been conscious of the slight difference in their inflections and use of certain words etc...

I was having this conversation with the other half over the weekend and it's my belief that it isn't your parents or your family origin that determine your accent, but where you go to school. It is during this time that kids develop their social habits and part of that is mimicking other kids in an attempt to fit in. For instance, my mum was born and raised in Bristol and you can tell from the way she speaks now even though she moved to Southampton in the 1970s. I, on the other hand, went to an inner-city school in Svaaamp'on (Bitterne Park) and through mingling with the kids from the local estates I developed my accent which I doubt I will ever lose fully. The thing is though, I never realised I had any kind of accent until I moved to Yorkshire. It was only then that I noticed how broad and distinct the Southampton accent really is. I guess because I had grown up with it I just accepted it as the norm, but when I speak to my old mates now I really do notice their 'aaampshire twang. I certainly haven't lost mine, but then I haven't developed a Sheffield accent either as I was 29 when I moved up here. If I had moved when I was 10 and gone to school here I reckon I would now officially be a 'Dee Daar' (as Sheffielders are affectionately known around the rest of South Yorkshire) but my southern mates do notice the little colloquialisms that I have picked up, like saying 'Ey up' or Naaa then' instead of 'Oright mush'. The thing that I do find strange is that if and when me and the mrs have kids, provided we are still living in this part of the world, they will no doubt turn out to be proper northerners!

I remember vividly being taken down to Weston Shore when I was not yet seven years old to join in with the flag-waving send-off of the troops on The Canberra...

Hang on... Didn't the Tories block it when Labour tried to introduce something like this?

This. I saw the thread title and assumed it would be about the dance music festival that used to take place at Matterley Bowl in Winchester every year.

Would that be the same Adam Lallana that blazed over when all he had to do was wide-foot it into the net from Guly's pullback in the first half? I didn't feel confident about any of our players taking that penalty the way the game was going.
