From the BBC Southampton won one of their first 15 games of the season, before Ralph Hasenhuttl came in. This would be their ninth league victory in 21 games under him if it stays this way. What a job he has done. What a job.

I agree good PL league sides often score in the last few minutes we don't do we

Yes you are probably right at least with cricketers they can find form in the 2nd eleven unlike PL footballers who lose form and have no games to play

Seems an excellent signing to be replaced by Rahane probably Not sure about the signings of Fuller and Donald having seem them Canterbury and online at Hedge End

Still pretty poor giving conceding a goal from our corner

I have not felt so tense for a long time 15 mins to go

Yes but that is not the point it is happening all the time Notably it happened to us at Manchester United a few weeks ago It is not right

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/47766796 I agree with him I know it helped us but we have been at the wrong end of these incompetent decisions. How things will change for the better but surely it cannot go on forever

We did not play well yesterday have no strikers who can score and playing against a team who are playing really well at the moment

Another View Sir David Warren, the British ambassador to Japan from 2008 to 2012, has said “The idea that Brexit uncertainty is irrelevant to this is fanciful. How are Honda supposed to calculate the costs and benefits of staying in the UK in the overall global context against such lack of clarity on the future terms of trade?” Warren said Brexit supporters who seized on Honda’s statement were missing the point. With five weeks to go to the deadline, the UK was yet to clarify whether it would leave the EU without any deal, or on the basis of a deal that simply deferred discussion of trading terms to the next stage of negotiations. The Japanese government would be “privately conscious of the danger of the massively important UK/Japan trade and investment relationship – and other foreign direct investment – being held hostage by an internal debate within the Conservative party that it is proving difficult to resolve”.

It’s extraordinarily bad luck for the government that so many pieces of bad economic news just happen to be occurring at the same time it is mishandling Brexit

The seven are just trying to start a new movement so yes you are right it may well fizzle out but Corbyn is extremely unlikely to get elected and a Boris led Tory party would probably not be that popular with a large numbers of the electorate and to quite a few Tory MPs so there is a need probably for a more centre option I think there was a Poll recently which suggested that over 50% of the electorate may be interested in a Centre Political Party. Yes they have left Labour to start building alliances to see if there is a way forward there is no suggestion that any of the seven are going to be the leader of a new Party for the reason CBF says So interesting times

I don't think the Japanese want to do business with UK period. They were promised frictionless trade by Thatcher in the 1980s which with Brexit is going to end After a February meeting in 2018 between U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May and 19 Japanese business chiefs, Tokyo’s ambassador to Britain warned what might happen if Brexit took an unfavourable turn for foreign investors. “No Japanese private company can continue operations” in the U.K. if it becomes unprofitable, Koji Tsuruoka told reporters on the steps of May’s Downing Street residence, after the premier pledged to pursue frictionless trade with the European Union. “It is as simple as that.”

Investment in the UK car industry has halved in 2 years since we decided to leave the EU

What David Cameron told us about our 'deal' with the EU: "WHAT HAPPENS IF WE LEAVE? Voting to leave the EU would create years of uncertainty and potential economic disruption. This would reduce investment and cost jobs. The Government judges it could result in 10 years or more of uncertainty as the UK unpicks our relationship with the EU and renegotiates new arrangements with the EU and over 50 other countries around the world. Some argue that we could strike a good deal quickly with the EU because they want to keep access to our market. But the Government’s judgement is that it would be much harder than that – less than 8% of EU exports come to the UK while 44% of UK exports go to the EU. No other country has managed to secure significant access to the Single Market, without having to: • follow EU rules over which they have no real say • pay into the EU • accept EU citizens living and working in their country A more limited trade deal with the EU would give the UK less access to the Single Market than we have now – including for services, which make up almost 80% of the UK economy. For example, Canada’s deal with the EU will give limited access for services, it has so far been seven years in the making and is still not in force.[1]" To me, this sounds like a prediction come true. Note the threat of 'less access' to the SM. NOWHERE does the leaflet say that Brexit means leaving the SM or the CU. [1] FROM: "Why the government believes that voting to remain in the EU is the best decision for the UK" - with references 2016 The rest of the text correctly predicts all the actual effects of a Leave vote. There are no lies in it. Or Project Fear.

Yes you are right there are other deals but not if you don't want Free Movement Single Market Customs Union and No Hard Border in Ireland which is what Mrs May said you wanted My Point is that there was no agreed Description of What Brexit it was going to be . You may think it is easy embracing Brexit but if you do not understand its consequences you find yourself in the position we are today Article 50 should have been delayed whilst it was decided what we actually want to happen after we leave the EU it is so complicated because our prosperity and security has evolved in the last 40 years. I respect you want to leave the EU but changing significantly how we interact and trade with the rest of the world is in the opinion of many of our Allies very risky and will lead to serious problems within our country. WTO rules maybe the answer but who actually knows lots think it will but most trade people think it will be a disaster.

So what Plan did you support when you voted to Leave I had no idea what the country would look like after Brexit as there were no details available so I voted Remain I still have no idea what Brexiters like you want. I understand May's Plan but don't understand what you think is wrong with it as it was agreed with the EU as the best available

You have absolutely no idea if we will be perfectly happy trading on WTO terms as you are just some bloke with very right wing views with little idea of how the UK functions within the EU and have little indepth knowledge of WTO. If it is so great why are most if not all Nations trying to involved in trade deals. Also if it is so great why have successive Governments not pushed for leaving the EU and moving to WTO. Probably because it is pants especially as we are currently in the EU which is the most respected Trade block in World with trade deals to most of the largest trading nations on the planet

Why are you so aggressive Wes Selmayr is not an upstart he is the Secretary General of the EU and is explaining in plain English that if we want to leave the EU with no free movement no single market no customs union no hard border in Ireland the deal negotiated by May with the backstop she asked for is the best and only deal available. Pretty simple really

He is probably happy with all this UK products will face tariffs if sold into the EU - for example cars at 10% and shoes at 8%. Some UK producers will become uncompetitive when facing these tariffs, especially compared to EU producers, and will therefore cease production UK products which require testing to be placed on the EU market will need a test carried out within the EU, a UK test will not be sufficient. This will add costs to production. There will be no customs cooperation between the UK and EU, thus for example no mutual recognition of the Authorised Economic Operator scheme. Products are therefore likely to take more time to go through customs checks UK agricultural exporters will face potentially even higher tariffs, such as 42% on cheddar cheese. Our access to the lower tariff rate quotas is uncertain, without which many agricultural exports will be not be competitive There will also be extensive checks on EU agricultural exports to the EU, which will further add costs, and there will not be veterinary equivalence schemes in place to facilitate these UK service providers will not have the right to sell certain services across the EU, particularly direct from the UK. In many cases they will have to set up new offices in the EU Many UK based staff will not have the right to work across the EU, for example as tour reps for UK travel companies. EU citizens would have to take these roles UK haulage companies would not be able to carry loads between EU destinations, and could for the short term only carry from UK to an EU destination and return. This will make them uncompetitive to EU hauliers The tariffs on goods, and restrictions on services, will also apply to countries with who the EU has a current trade agreement that the UK fails to replicate - for example there is likely to be no agreement with Turkey In no-deal Brexit there will be no agreement with the EU on data adequacy or financial services equivalence. This will mean extra cost for all UK companies who move data between UK and EU for example The UK Government will have to decide on whether to keep or reduce our own tariffs. This will not be an easy decision - lower tariffs may help consumers but harm UK producers and developing countries who currently get particular privileges Over 50% of UK trade will be affected by these changes. Less than 10% of EU trade will be affected by these changes. UK costs will rise, EU costs are unlikely to do so. This will be a major change to the terms of trade between us These issues are why even no-deal advocates talk of 'managed no-deal', or a deal with the EU. But if all of this is going to affect the UK more than the EU there is no reason for the EU to offer a more generous deal than that on offer now All of these are the sort of issues which are typically resolved in a free trade agreement. But these take time, typically in the EU 5-7 years. Waiting this time would mean all of these issues being maintained, affecting UK competitiveness Some no-deal advocates claim the UK could gain competitiveness by scrapping EU regulations, however it would be difficult then to negotiate a trade deal with the EU at the same time. The UK is expecting to start Free Trade Agreement negotiations with US and others in a no-deal situation. However if the UK economy is changing it will not be clear which sectors the UK should prioritise. Well Known incompatibilities between US and EU will also cause problems, if we accept US agriculture this will make a good trade deal with the EU harder. It will take time for the UK to make these decisions

BREXIT latest: DOWNSIDE Nissan, Sony, Airbus, Panasonic, Dyson, JaguarLR etc off/cutting jobs No food No medicine Manufacturing collapse NI peace in danger NHS/social care meltdown Kent = car park Riots Actual **** everywhere UPSIDE Blue passport Brexit 50p Prince Philip in hiding and unable to drive

So you would be happy for the Queen to be target of abuse if Brexit goes badly wrong Just 54 days to go before Mr. Putin's Brexit and the huge triumph for Russia by the way

I think our strategy is clear out the dross and see if the Academy players can cut in the PL before embarking on buying for the sake of it. There is no point in investing in an Academy if we are not using their players so far it seems to be working OK

Would you sign him as he has not played a competitive game for possibly over a year

He is far from dreadful just has little confidence and has not got used to the PL because he has been in and out of the team. Against Derby he had a chance but was a little late and the next time he over compensated and got to the ball to early. At least he gets in positions to score I just don't understand how these fringe players get a chance to play in games if there are no Reserve Games
