Just because he is right it does not make him negative

I don't think we would bring in another RB so I would keep Pied but I agree with your other ones Maybe Austin if we were to get a top quality striker or Forster if we were to get a top quality GK

Brexit will be a disaster for two reasons. Firstly it makes little practical sense. And secondly, the government we are landed with has neither the leadership nor ability to deliver anything.

Yes it is the way it works bigger clubs usually come out on top. Liverpool is a great club with a proud history in the CL so I think it is a team for VVD to aspire to play for. We are a biggish club with no proud history in the CL but can crap all over clubs like S****horpe

Nothing for workers in the Taylor Report; nothing for citizens in the Repeal Bill; nothing for the environment anywhere. And Henry VIIIth clauses -'The Minister will have power to do what s/he likes'. What *exactly* is Brexit going to do for us? Maybe some trade deals (sometime) with countries at least 5x further away than the furthest part of the EU - the US, Canada, Australia - with the increased transport costs. Come on Brexiteers - what good things are we going to get?

Neither do I If I was a footballer I would rather play for Liverpool than Southampton But that said the players do have contracts to play for Southampton

Me too but if I was him I would jump at the chance to earn more money and play in the Champions League wouldnt you It is just a job to Ryan after all

The strange thing about the Paul Hart rumour was that he was actually in Cortese's office at the time the rumour started somebody who worked at St Mary's that I know actually saw him but 2 + 2 sometimes makes 5 Not sure the player in question is in Les Reed's Office

How come you talk sense about football and bollix about BREXIT

Membership of the EU kept the UK socially, economically and politically broadly in the centre and with safeguards on the environment, food hygiene, workers rights and technical standards. The benefits of membership are overwhelming, the benefits of leaving are a pipe dream based on political dogma. Was it a coincidence that the vast majority of leave MP's were and still are right wing Tories? That should say it all, this is about furthering their vested interest and naked English nationalism.

All very underwhelming at the moment hope it changes soon

Things are not going that well are they as Fears for UK economy after weaker-than-expected growth reports Drop in manufacturing, construction slowdown and widening of trade deficit knock pound lower against dollar euro So when are things going to improve or perhaps the economists were right and BREXIT will be a economical disaster

Totally agree a great night and a great performance from Ken His brother was on teacher training at our school in 1962 just before I moved back to Southampton and he told me to look out for Ken

You must be joking if we don't get in at least 3 PL standard players we are going to struggle

Surely you are not saying BREXIT is a **** up ?

Why do we need him?

My heroes from my teenage years were George Kirby and Terry Paine

I agree we can finish 8th or higher but I doubt that we will

When are we going to f-ing wake up to the catastrophe our 'leaders' are taking us to through Brexit ?

Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, will later today lay out Labour’s six tests for any deal – saying that it the new relationship between Britain and the EU must be based upon “partnership” and begin with a comprehensive trade agreement as well as continued cooperation on science, security, research and technology. If his tests are not met, Labour will not back the deal in the commons. He will warn of the danger of leaving Europe without a deal, which he fears is the preferred option of many Tory Brexiteers, saying: “The biggest danger currently facing British businesses, jobs and living standards is the chance of the Prime Minister exiting the EU without a deal.” “This is the worst of all possible outcomes….The Prime Minister should end this unnecessary uncertainty now by committing to establish appropriate transitional arrangements starting on 29 March 2019 and lasting until a full and collaborative EU-UK treaty can be agreed.” The deal must provide “exact same benefits” from Europe for the British economy Starmer says, quoting the Brexit secretary David Davis’s own words in the commons. “All of us want the best for Britain. But the stakes are high and the Prime Minister’s approach so far does not bode well,” he is expected to add in his speech to Chatham House. “Failure to meet the tests I have set out today will of course affect how Labour votes in the house of commons.” “The prime minister should be under no illusion that Labour will not support a deal that fails to reflect core British values and the six tests I have set out today.” Starmer’s six tests for the Brexit deal are: 1. Does it ensure a strong and collaborative future relationship with the EU? 2. Does it deliver the “exact same benefits” as we currently have as members of the Single Market and Customs Union? 3. Does it ensure the fair management of migration in the interests of the economy and communities? 4. Does it defend rights and protections and prevent a race to the bottom? 5. Does it protect national security and our capacity to tackle cross-border crime? 6. Does it deliver for all regions and nations of the UK?

Survation says UK would now vote 54-46 to REMAIN in EU! Exposes the sheer criminal folly of basing policy on one narrow referendum result

I voted Remain too because of my concerns with the economy if we left the EU Batman was not worried if I remember but I think he was wrong Household income falling at fastest rate since 1976 as UK savings rates crash as Economic growth e has come to an abrupt halt as consumers raid piggy banks to battle rising inflation and stalled wages 629 The consumer-driven momentum that has kept the British economy afloat since the Brexit vote is declining rapidly, with new data showing households in the grip of the most protracted squeeze on living standards since the economic crisis of the mid-1970s. Against a backdrop of rising prices and stagnant wage growth, incomes adjusted for inflation have now fallen for three successive quarters, the first time this has occurred since the International Monetary Fund had to bail Britain out in 1976. At the same time, the amount being set aside as savings has now slipped to just 1.7% of disposable income – the lowest level on record, and a fraction of the near-10% average for the last 50 years. Just a year ago, it was more than three times the current rate. The new data from the Office for National Statistics shows that in the first three months of 2017, the mounting financial pressure on consumers brought the UK’s strong performance following last summer’s Brexit vote to an abrupt halt. On Thursday, separate figures showed an unexpected jump in consumer credit. Households borrowed an extra £1.7bn in May - £300m more than had been expected – on credit cards, personal loans and car finance. A survey of consumer confidence also showed a steep decline. Despite saving less and borrowing more, consumers still reined in their spending, contributing to economic growth confirmed today at just 0.2% – the lowest of any of the major G7 industrial nations.

How are you going to feel when Parliament says enough is enough and Brexit is stopped when most sensible people realise it is going to be an economic and social disasteri

I think he means you are talking economic drivel As Productivity is a key factor in the performance of the UK Economy. Increasing national productivity will raise living standards because more real income improves people's ability to purchase goods and services increasing growth and improving housing and NHS education . The UK has appalling productivity compared with other EU countries and has led to poor wages for most my wife who works in a school gets 1% per year well below inflation

For the first time in years I am not looking forward to this season just think we are going to struggle especially if we lose one or two of our defensive players just hope I am wrong
