Barry the Badger

I think I might love him in a ghey way

I agree, and also think that the advantage in football generally doesn't last long enough. I'm no great Rugby fan but I do like the way the refs use advantage, it can last a lot longer and if 30 seconds later nothing has come of it then they will pull it back. The ref on Tuesday may well have played the advantage, but I bet he would not have pulled it back for a penalty if Puncheons shot had been saved.

I think Seabourne is a bit hard done by to be honest. I reckon because he was seen as the backup option to Ward in January, people are looking for him to be crap. He's done ok so far, he's no Jaidi YET but neither is he a bad player, I also think he will keep getting better.

Nope, he was a runner.

I think it was what Morgan got booked for. But sounded like they were on the break and it was either let them outnumber us or do something slightly cynical and take the booking. I know which I would rather he did in that situation.

If he brings on another striker it's because 4-5-1 is not working and he wants to try 4-4-2, that doesn't mean that 4-5-1 is always a defensive formation.

Am I dreaming?

COME ON!!!!! I can't believe this!!!! We can't really make it can we??????

Ps - yyyyyyeeeeessssssssss!!!!

Seriously Alpine. I do think you need to get it out of your head that Formation is intrinsically linked to playing mentality. Manchester United play one up front, do you think they are defensive?

Get in there !!!!!!!!!

Are you listening to the commentary? Sounded like we came out very agressive and attacking.

I personally don't think what Hamilton did was excessively dangerous (obviously motor racing is inherrently dangerous to a degree), I think it was good racing. If Petrov had been making the moves first and Hamilton moving across to block him thats another matter. I appreciate that the rules say you can only move once but I don't neccesarily think that works as an all-encompasing term. Prob worth pointing out I am not a McLaren fan or a big fan of Hamilton in particular.

Wow, you are a stickler for accuracy. It must REALLY **** you off when we sing that Southampton are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen

You're not alone with that, I noticed it too. The first line starts on the first beat of the bar, whereas the second line has a half-beat pause before it starts. It annoyed me a few times and I tried to keep doing it 'properly' but then I just gave up and sang it their way, if you can't beat them....

I don't believe that only the result matters, but do think it's much more important than trying to be 'entertaining' and losing. To be honest, seeing Saints winning is what entertains me after years of sh*te!

I would imagine the club would have to check with the families before they did this. There are many reasons why they might not be doing it before you all start saying what a disgrace it is etc etc.

Best reason to vote for a party ever.

I didn't really think he tried to wrestle it from them but he definitely wanted a piece of the action. For me though it was obvious that he did so out of sheer childlike excitement and joy at winning a trophy, rather than any ego, I don't have a problem with that, I did think it was pretty funny.

Personal accounts just make my head hurt because I desperately want to believe they are true but can't get my head around the possibility.

My dad is "a card carrying member of the labour party", which I never really understood. He mostly seems to moan about them being sh*te but always votes labour.

Must've taken you years to build up such expertise

This is the thing that winds me up more than any other when it comes to televised football. Either with your example, or my particular favourite... They look at a penalty shout, zoom in, watch it frame by frame, and then again, and again, and finally conclude that yes there was contact so the referee got it wrong and is clearly useless. I would LOVE to see Andy Gray try to referee a premiership football match. and.....relax.......

Great start for Lee W Can't write his surname as it's filtered :-)

I vote mainly based on the policies of the party, and try to find out as much as I can about the local prospective MP's before I vote, but I am also inevitably swayed by the party leader on occasion as much as I try to put that to one side. For example, I'm pretty open politically, no particular allegiances and tend to look at all parties and judge from there, but there is no way I would vote for our local tory as the idea of contributing to having Cameron as PM sends shivers down my spine.
