  1. Yes the ball was moving around a lot just after tea Donald has 50 now 300 at stumps would be OK 230-5 16 overs left but of course the new ball will attract some wickets
  2. Oh shut up we have a good team this season when Rahane and Vince are available Weatherley, Soames and Donald are young and no doubt will develop I am not sure they have had much batting recently
  3. Cant see that happening Hampshire are doing well with home grown players and a few imports decently paid
  4. We are hardly likely to get any decent players wanting to come to SFC at the moment
  5. I agree with Robert Peston on Twitter Liverpool magnificent. There are times when normal club loyalties don’t apply and all a genuine football supporter can do is marvel and applaud
  6. I am just getting fed up with knobs like you who know **** all about football whingeing about our players From the BBC Arthur Masuaku steams down the left hand-side of the box, his cross is punched out by Fraser Forster but it bounces off Arnautovic, who heads it in from about a metre out. Not much Forster could do about that one. Harsh on Southampton.
  7. Yes I was going to suggest something similar perhaps with Forster in Goal too
  8. We seem to be involved in good entertaining matches now which I believe most want but it does mean that goals will be given away
  9. 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.
  10. I agree good PL league sides often score in the last few minutes we don't do we
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. Still pretty poor giving conceding a goal from our corner
  14. I have not felt so tense for a long time 15 mins to go
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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”.
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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.”
  22. Investment in the UK car industry has halved in 2 years since we decided to leave the EU
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
