Went up for a mates stag do last year. We were all hammered by the time we got there at midday. We played that indoor golf thingy and the stag ended up ****ging a blow up doll in a bunker. When we got to the nightclub the stag emptied half of the comedy room by puking and taunting a blind comedian and his guide. It was a full hour after that before he was finally asked to leave. The women up there are very friendly and all my mates, even the ones we suspected might have been gay, were chatted up. Basically it's the reverse of down here in the South where blokes have to make the first move 90% of the time. All in all a nice place. Good feel to the city and it has a larger feel to it than Southampton which seems to work to its advantage.

I seem to share a lot of Adrian's views about religion. I will not be working over christmas but I will not be celebrating christmas either. Instead I see the time off in December as an old English / Pagan tradition - Yuletide / Winter festival etc which I think you'll find were practiced more widely together with summer festivals throughout England and the rest of Europe before Christianity adopted 25th December as the day to celebrate Christ's birth. Hence you will find me eating, drinking and sitting on Santa's knee come December but you will not find me in church.

Championship / Div 1. We would not have gone into admin and we would still have Rupert and Co. All in all the move has worked out pretty nicely.

Why don't you go and ask him.

Yeah, you are right to question that. From what I have heard he was in a pretty drunken way, challenged the bouncers and they responded by pushing him away, he fell and the rest is history. Indepenedent eye witnesses will confirm whether this is what actually happened. I'm not sure how much the CCTV has picked up and in my experience it often catches less than we might like to think. I feel some of our footballers do need to show a bit more respect and self-discipline when they are out on town. I have met some out who give it the big I am forgetting who ultimately pays their wages. On the other hand I have met others who are very charming and welcoming of Saints fans - Surman being a perfect example and role model (shook my hand when I said I was a season ticket holder, was drinking soft drinks, had time to speak to people etc) when I met him out with Dyer and BWP who were being complete *****s and were just using their little bit of local fame to try and impress some of the less classy birds. This whole episode is a real shame as Dan always seemed like a nice bloke. Just goes to show the power of alcohol.

Good question asked by the OP. Different people have different reasons but here's mine. I work in an air conditioned office all day, mostly surrounded by women and middle class middle aged men who act like old women. As an alpha male working class 80's kid I find this completely unnatural. I don't think humans were designed to sit in offices all day. By throwing a few heavy weight around after work I can actually act like a bloke and bloe off some steam before going home. I also have a good laugh in the gym with people from all walks of life and have made some good mates over the years. I have also done some business with gym mates and gym owners. Having moved to Southampton 10 years ago the first thing I did was join the gym because I knew I could make some mates that way. The chemical release is pretty good too. I take caffeine before I go and comined with the natural chemical release from doing weights it's a pretty heady mix. A bit like MDNA I find but without the side-effects ;0) The tight fanny is another good reason for going. For anyone that doesnt have a good reason to go, I suggest you give it up. Gyms make their money from standing orders of people that think it's a good idea but find it all a bit too tough. You only have to witness the stampede every January.

Hmmm I wonder what that team would cost to buy now. With silly money sloshing around as it is I think it wouldn't be far off the £100m mark. Bale would fetch the most.

His goal vs Ipswich is one of my all time favorites.

I fractured my skull several years back and trust me I had a headache for months. I was back at work a few days later but could not concentrate and was extremely tired for around 6 weeks until it healed. That was just for a minor 'crack'. Dan's sounds a lot worse so yes I would not expect to see him play again in 2011, at best. It would be a long while before he can head a ball without it practically knocking him out if he's got a fracture.

Playoffs. We have got the best attacking unit in the league and the best attacking individual in Lallana. Our only achilles heal is the LCB slot.

Sorry mate, but that is one seriously negative post. Before the season began I thought we'd finish around 12th but given the quality of football we have played, the weaknesses shown by other teams and the strength in depth we have I am confident we can be a top 6 team now. Looking around at the players some Championship clubs have brought in I'm glad we haven't got them.

Never mind relegation, it would be a huge blow for them if they fail to make the Champions League as they almost did this year - top 4 will be Manure, Chelski, Citeh and Liverpool. Having said that I would love to see them involved in a relagation battle. Hey, that might even bring back my faith in the English game.

I laughed when we sold him to Arsenal for reported £12-£15m and I am laughing harder now. Wenger has lost the plot - the wheels have come off of his Plan A and he has no Plan B. Oh dear. Never mind Arsene, we might be able to find you a job at our accademy in the coming weeks.

Buggger off Torres.

If I were a mod I would lock this thread about a player we have never signed and will never sign being tenuously linked with another club and sprinkle infraction points like confetti on all you bad boys.

Hey come on guys, as someone else has said, her father posts on here. Behave yourselves.

cheating buggers. if we lose out on a record breaking number of goals scored by one this year I will be most upset.

Good advice here. My sister in law had the same problem last year at student digs in Porstwood. Basically write to the utility companies explaining when you took on the tenancy and send them a copy of the tenancy agreement, threaten police action if they harass you any more, give them the meter reading at the time you took the tenancy on. If anyone turns up call the police. If they write to you again just refer them to your previous letter. A lot of these letters from utility companies are auto-generated so don't worry too much and don't be surprised if you keep getting letters.

Suggest you try meeting them in the gym, sports clubs etc then - just don't be surprised when they ditch the sport and fitness as soon as you've been going out for a month ;0) I agree with what you say about town - I lived in Woking for years and was gobsmacked how slutty and easy the girls were in Southampton by comparison. One thing I will say for English women is they tend to keep their looks longer than their continental counterparts. Italian women in particular begin to resemble raisins by the time they hit about 40 whereas English women tend to look good longer - probably as a result of not so much sunlight and a fattier diet(?). Plenty of MILFs here and even GILFs (just ask Wayne Rooney).

Does anyone know why Belgian women are so pug ugly? Nestled in there between France and Holland you would expect them to do much better. As for the argument - it's all about diet and lifestyle. Fastfood culture and ready meals. Women in England work hard and don't have time to cook decent food any more. I also think calories from alcohol plays a role. I disagree with Adrian - US women are generally as bad as the brits from what I've seen - poor dressers and unfit on the whole. Same reasons as we are too. When I spoke to a Polish girl in the gym she said English girls ate too much, drank too much and had no hobbies involving physical activity. On the continent there is a culture of women walking, cycling, going to the gym, playing tennis etc. Generally in Enlgand women give up sport at 16 when they leave school.

....and the best bit is we sold a player for £12m and look all the better for it. Team spirit and team understanding at the heart of this. Well done Nige - I like where this bus is heading

I would give him a brown card. Poop.

I would prefer J Rod to Maynard

Never thought I would find myself agreeing with those scum but after what I have seen this week I would have been right there with them.

6 months and/or a few thousand pound fine
