Has there been an English player that has kicked on under Wenger? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Messing around on Google & found a Utd forum that claims their 2 TBC games will be April 25/26 & May 16/17.One is us the other is City. I guess the police & Sky will have a say on which is which , but my guess is Sky won't want the City game in the last week of the season when chances are neither will have anything to play for.

Perhaps him and Merkal can swap notes. Didn't the Obama administration wire tap her? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't see why the Arsenal & Chelsea games can't be sorted and announced. Understand Utd are still in Europa league , but what's holding up the other fixtures? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's nothing to do with p1ssing on our parade and all to do with opinions. My opinion is that FF doesn't deserve to be in the squad. JWP has had a handful of half decent games, so shouldn't be near the squad yet & I'd have Walcott over Redmond any day of the week ( and I've been supportive of Redmond this season, when most were knocking him). Without a doubt this is one of the weakest English squads I can remember in 45 years of watching football. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If leaving the EU means we get rid of the whinging Scots & that corrupt cesspit that is NI, then it's a win-win-win as far as I'm concerned. England & Wales are perfectly capable of forging a great future together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You think it's a coincidence we've look more coherent & more of a team since he's left. Puel looks more assured & things are looking up. It was VvD being injured that cost us the final , not Fonte Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What currency would they use? They would have to accept freedom of movement , so therefore there would be a hard border between England & Scotland. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She should be, she's given parliamentary legitimacy to a Hard Brexit process. Both houses having a meaningful vote on having a meaningful vote & agreeing with the Governments position. Referendum, then both houses , nobody can ever again complain that this isn't democratic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm pretty sure we had 4 in the starting 11 for a friendly in the 80's . Memory a bit hazy, perhaps someone else can remember. Off the top of my head , Shilts, Mark Wright , Stevie Williams and David Armstrong. Maybe wrong and dreamt it . Any other old fossils help? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bet your defined benefit pension hasn't been ****ed around as much as mine has. I wish mine had been ****ed around with, rather than closed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The simple fact is we are spending more money than we earn. We have not cut enough to pay off the deficit or get our debt down. Stop trying to pretend we have. You may want us to continue to overspend and stop cutting, passing our debts on to our kids & grandkids, that's your opinion. But don't try and claim we've had massive cuts because we haven't.

But it's our generation that will howl with outrage if we try and address the issue. People like to portray pensioners as little old ladies burning their furniture to heat their homes. Some are poor but a lot are doing ok & better than ok. There was nothing wrong with defined benefit pensions. They were part of a decent companies working conditions. Gordon Brown made them unaffordable and therefore made the next generation of pensioners poorer( unless you're in the public sector ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who Do We Choose To Ship Out This Summer?
Lord Duckhunter replied to View From The Top's topic in The Saints
If our scouting department can't get some in who is "half as good as him" , then they all need sacking. I reckon VvD in nets would be half as good as him, so it shouldn't be too hard. The hardest thing won't be replacing him, it'll be finding a buyer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
It's not a question of seeing it as a mild form of austerity, it's a fact that it is. What would I do? Plenty. Slash foreign aid for one. Welfare is too thinly spread. The triple lock on pensions is unaffordable. Winter fuel allowance & other pensioner perks should go for all but the poorest. Child benefit? What's all that about in the modern world? A family can be on 50k a year and the state pays them money each month for having children, madness. Welfare should stop being seen as something you pay into and therefore are entitled to get something out. It should be an insurance, a safety net. We should judge whether we are a caring society by how many people live without government handouts, not how much we spend on welfare. The majority should get a basic pension (paid for by NIC and based on contribution) access to a decent health service and then that's it, no more state involvement unless you've temporary fallen on hard times or are permanently unable to work. The problem is once people are addicted to hand outs they won't give them up. Look at the fuss made when millionaires child benefit was taken away. My old man was wealthy enough to retire at 55. In 1989 his endowment paid off his mortgage and left him with 18k. He had a final salary pension that nearly 30 years later is paying him over 20k a year, yet he gets winter fuel allowance. He gets a free TV licence, free bus pass . He got child benefit for me and my 2 siblings his whole working life. FFS, my kids and their kids will be paying the bill. Spending more money than you earn today,is stealing money off the next generation. In peacetime it's quite shocking what we're kicking down the road for them to deal with. It's funny how little the caring , sharing, PC generation care about this , they don't give a flying **** about lumbering the next lot with our debts. Pretty selfish behaviour, if you ask me.

"Forster's name is being whispered at places like Everton and that is enough for Southampton to become a little edgy." A little edgy, ****ing jumping around trying to contain themselves more like. If we can off load him this summer for any sort of reasonable money , it'll be a master stroke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Good set of results for us . Everton aren't really catchable,and even if we did an early start to next season beckons 7th place club. West Brom & Ham losing good news for 8th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If they're going up I'd rather they did it in 3rd than via play offs. Imagine the nauseating coverage of a Wembley win and the Portsmyths that will be born that day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
