Im a modern Liberal and I love my country its culture and its history so there, you really are a pratt

Just meandering through this thread it struck me that there are 10 Reasons Why Skates FC are the Footballing Equivalent of Greece 1. They don’t pay taxes; 2. The have created a lot of myths; 3. For a long time they were run by corrupt leaders; 4. They have no notable achievements (legal) in living memory; 5. An ancient ruin is their main asset; 6. Fish figure highly in their culture; 7. The authorities have been kind to them; 8. There music is crap; 9. They confuse passion with xenophobia; 10. They talk funny.

The irony is I bet the majority of UKIP supporters voted against a PR system.

That is the worst article yet on our situation, I have ssen nothing that comes close to "Southampton are willimng to cash in on their star players". While its is possible that palyers will move the crap journalist are writing beggers believe, the need to fill columns results in this. They should teach them that if you havn't got anyting worthwhile to say best say nothing.

Is Shaw joining Utd more certain than Baines joining Utd was last year?

As this is the players vote I think he is in with real chance.

????? where did this come from ?????

It is a dificult call, as an occasional attender nowadyas and having two teenagers there are two things that would get me to more games: Better Family packages and availbilty at on the day/day before on 3 occasions this season I have only been sure we could go on the Friday, bit was uanble to get 3 tickets together or evne near each other so passsed, would extra capacity solve this?

This

Almost since the advent of interantional sport nations have been represented by by sportsmen who dont meet the Birthpace approach (the born and bred argument). The oldest Rugby Fixture the calacutta cup England had a Captain Born in India andIrishman playing for them (also a lad from Fawley). I have no problem with non British born sportsmen and women representing Engalnd provided they are commited anglophiles. Didnt are own Sam Gallagher get called into the England Under-19s after switching allegiances from Scotland.

Although I have never lived in the City as a nipper I always wanted to, family connections and coming from rural North West Wiltshire it was exciting especially spending a morning going back and forth on the floating bridge or paddling and beachcombing on the Weston Shore. I have lived in Gosport, Fareham, Stubbington and Park Gate and to be honest I now find the whole Solent conurbation boring . I have lived in Bath for 20 years and for a small city 80,000 ish it has far more to offer than I have found in most cities more than twice its size. The NF and the Hampshire countryside is lovely and I visit regularly, bit live in Southampton no.

I met him once and had a drink with him, he was charming. His policies were to far to the left but his conviction cannot be questioned. He will leave a lasting legacy on British politics and was responsible for the great British (+France) achievement that was Concord. RIP Tony.

European test failed DENMARK are in the European union.

Although not a Southampton my father is from Woolston and my Aunty and Uncle worked in L&C in Oblisk Rd. Uncle Bill delivered milk on a horse drawn cart until the mid 60's.

Yep done

Agree with all the above, ignore it they can only enforce it through civil action and it is an extremly rare event for them to do so. It might just be worth researching the record of the firm who run the car park to see if they do have a record of litigation.

To add a little more on the subject wrt to Military Assistance to Civil Authorities (MACA). The EA has taken a lot of stick but it is Local Authorities who have to call in, and pay for, Military Assistance in these situations. Has anybody asked the local council why this wasn’t done when the RM at Taunton with BV's are right on the doorstep? Also Cameron did not mention who will pay for the Military Assistance he so kindly offered! Bet it wont be central government.

In truth I don't know, but the tone of Callums piece is that this group is very close and that can only be good, it hints at them staying together for a while.

Keynsham is in BANES and the thread is about the problems in the levels not the flooding in Keynsham.

Keynsham is not in the Somerset Levels, it is on the River Avon which does not flow through the levels.

What a thoroughly disgusting post; there are far more egotistical, money grabbing people in private industry than in public service. If you want to find a dishonest conmen who’s only interest is to rip people off then private enterprise and the entrepreneurs (don’t they just love these title) is the starting place. I speak having just completed 20 years public service and 20 years in the private sector, in that order.

Stop it, talking sense is not allowed, even tough it is the best post on this thread to date.

Whilst I agree that AL is worthy of a place, perhaps one criteria could be that they have completed their playing carreer and are therfore judged on their whole career. If AL or any other current player did somthing that upset the fans there would be a clamour to remove them. Legends are in the past not the present wait until the whole story has palyed out.

Better question is why would he leave? Possibly if a bigger club with CL football came knocking other than that is anyone aware of any particular afinity he has in Europe?
