Except for our academy, which we've copied Barcelonas, yes?

I think you need to remember cortese isn't a one trick pony he's not a ten trick pony, he's a whole field of ponies and they're all running towards the champions league.

That's where non STHS ticket tax is going. In your faces part time fans.

No w*nkfest for MLG this summer then? oh dear, it seems Cortese really is taking a measured approach to stadium expansion.

There are few things more amusing on an mboard, whichever one it is, than some pompous, self righteous fan telling another one to go and support another club.

Jesus Christ. Do you think clubs will pay the same amount to sponsor a L1 one club as a Premier League one?

agree dune, it wasn't superb, it was okay, a decent finish, nothing more.

He's been a bit of a flat track bully. Excellent in games when we've dominated posession like Villa and Newcastle but struggled in game when we haven't. Personally i expected more from him and be one that can create something from nothing or grab the game by the scruff of the neck. I dont think it helps him that we have a lack of pace throughout the side, i've noticed on several occasions during games he put slide rule passes through with Lambert and Lallana both lacking the pace to get on the end of them, which if they had would have led to a good chance on goal/

I don't know why people think the same players would do differently to what they've done for their whole international careers.

What a team! What a manager!

We've done that for the last 20 years, why do you think it'd change tonight?

The mark of a great team is one that gets a result despite playing badly.

Turns it around hasn't he, what a great manager.

Roy Hodgson tactical genius.

To be honest I'm struggling to think of cons, had mine for 6 months, I do about 30,000 a year and its been a pleasure to drive, comfortable, solid, fairly quick and relatively good MPG. The only downside is it is useless in the snow, I got stranded up a hill in the first lot of bad weather we had and had to dump it and walk home, first week up north we had snow for a week so I couldn't use it. If you can cope with that for a week a year then its a great car.

Good read that.

True, two decent performances in 60 games. He's fit in well in the current squad.

Play to your strengths Jamie.

I doubt any player will be capable of building a career based on one goal again.

Hi Bessie, I've got a 320d and its not that expensive to insure, you'll be surprised. As for maintenance read the thread I put on about BMW servicing, its ain't that bad either.

Throughout the decades Southampton and football violence have been synonymous. Southampton has long held a fearsome reputation and long been regarded one of the most violent and notorious firms in football violence history. This reputation was largely formed in the seventies, The Milton Road end, along with the Shed at Chelsea, the chicken run at West Ham and the Stretford End at Manchester United remain the only ends that have never been taken by an opposing firm. Into the 80s and the causal movement and as firms became more organised so Saints came into their own. Such was our reputation that sick of being battered everytime we met them, bitter enemies Millwall and Portsmouth joined forces to attack us in a 1985 cup game, whilst both clubs had sinister elements in their ranks even as a combined mob they were no match for the Saints and the firms were chased through Southampton back to St Denys, tails between their legs and teeth in the pits of their stomachs. In 1984 chelsea were another club to tey their luck against our firm. They were Routed. time and spin from Chelsea goes that it was Chelsea that had the upper hand that day, but anyone there will tell you the sight of 250 chelsea fans runnning theough school fields and breaking into Springfield school to escape the baying, snarling mob of Saints was something to behold. In the late 80s Nottingham Forest were another firm to try their luck with their notorious leader Paul Scarrott, at the time the self titled toughest hooligan in England leading them into battle. As was standard procedure by then Forest were destroyed in a crushing victory for the Saints in what became known as the Battle of Bedford Place, whcih afterwards resembled a scene from Braveheart and eye witnesses saying members of the public, including a 75 year old man and a pregnant women, as well as the Forest Executivr Crew, were running for thier lives. rumour has it Scarott was so traumatised at the vicious beating inflicted on he and His mob that day he never recovered and hit the booze to blank out the Memory. Sadly Scarott died several years later, the wounds still raw. RIP. Pick up any hooligan book though and you will rarely see a mention of Southampton, for two reasons. Like all great war historians firm authors only like to record victories and few can claim such a feat when they meet the Saints. Another reason is such was our reputation it became known that taking a firm to Southampton was a suicide mission and something only the crazy would do, hence violence at the Dell receded to virtually non existing by the late 80s, simply due to the fear other clubs firms felt as soon as they uttered our name. It's difficult to believe that as a city and club we could have gone from being the most terrifying away day in England to a stadium with dancing dogs and fancy dress. Some might call that progress but I wouldn't be so quick to agree. I for one am proud of my Southampton brothers at the reputation we had in a very different time and era.

The best we have done in a world cup since 66 our squad contained players from Derby, Villa, Forest, QPR, Marseille, Rangers and even Wolves. Yet these days the only players who get picked are ones who play for the big clubs, even if they are just squad players. Who got it right, Bobby Robson or the others who have failed at every tournament since?

Utter horse s*it.

We were close to signing Phillips last summer, he wanted to join us but the chairman refused to sell him at that time. Out of the two of them I'd prefer Ince though.

Really?! I had no idea!!
