. As usual your post is bigoted and lacks any evidence as well as being stupid as how can 45 years of EU membership be the cause as the comparison is with other countries who are in the EU One of the problems with the UK appears to be that large sections of the population are not interested in education and from what I have learned from my wife loads of pupils disrupt lessons and cause many other problems. Her school has a large exclusion department and numerous pupils are suspended every month which shows me that there is not the desire for some to learn and find a decent job. I agree with your comment 'if the indigenous British working populous finally come to terms with rolling their sleeves up and doing a proper shift, in terms of either mental or physical activity again, valuing work for its own sake' but that is likely to be a lot more difficult if jobs disappear because foreign companies relocate to the Single Market countries like they will. You seem to blame everything on the EU whereas I blame UK governments for all our problems as the EU just provides the tools and facilities for our country to prosper for the good economically politically environmentally and socially and leaving it is a disaster. I am 71 but I care for youngsters and how leaving the UK is going to affect them but as I have no idea who you are I don't know what your outlook on life is the only two things I know is that you are passionately against the EU not entirely based on facts and you support the Saints and I am fully supportive the content of nearly all your posts So there are more than 20 countries who are in the EU and have better literacy, numeracy and technological skills than the UK

Nine out of the ten poorest areas within the EU are located within the UK. UK 16-24 year olds have the fourth lowest ability in the EU in terms of literacy, numeracy and technological skills. . In summary, the UK is poor and stupid and voted accordingly, well 52% of the UK did

I agree a very good player but not a great one

but each spring SFC are in the top 8 of the PL been in the Europa League twice unlucky in the Final of the League Cup. Not bad for a club of our size

I don't think the club are a laughing stock in any situation. The whole situation is down to VVD for being a greedy knob. If he wont play for SFC and wants to leave it is hardly likely he will perform well if he actually played and would disrupt the whole team. So I say as you do he should make a formal request and we should sell him for at least £50m hopefully more but I am not sure he is worth £60m plus as defenders never seem to be sold for huge amounts The fullback who joined Man City went for £52m I think

No he is a disgrace The whole situation is likely to end badly

It is nothing to do with holding their nerve it is whether it is to the advantage of SFC to keep VVD against his will or bring in somebody who is pretty decent and wants to play for the club. I don't see the point of keeping a player who wants to leave and we get loads of dosh and a top class replacement

Of course by scoring the only goal of the season against Liverpool who would then be relegated if the other team drew all their matches

I doubt it is possible to finish 11th with 60 points the arithmetic seems wrong to me If we get 60 points it is likely that we will be higher in the table than last season

Who ****ing cares what the stupid fans say SFC have done well in the last five years so should be supported

That is probably not true as vplayers improve especially if they continue to play with the same team mates Boufel and Austin will probably be better than last year

Those were the days Premier League at 25: best goal – Matt Le Tissier v Manchester United, 1996 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/26/premier-league-best-goal-matt-le-tissier-southampton-manchester-united-1996#img-1

Not sure many of our players would get into a top 6 team and play regularly do you. We are a provincial club which is performing the best it has in the 55 years or so since I started following them despite not having that many top class players who I saw when I was younger. Like Terry Paine Ron Davies Martin Chivers Peter Osgood Kevin Keegan Dave Watson Mark Wright Alan Ball Alan Shearer MLT .

You may well be right but I have never found out the wealth of Markhus and Katharine despite searching the internet I doubt they were/ are billionaires because I have never found them in a very rich list but of course I may well be wrong. Where do you get your figures from

I wish we were like Liverpool First Division Winners (18): 1900–01, 1905–06, 1921–22, 1922–23, 1946–47, 1963–64, 1965–66, 1972–73, 1975–76, 1976–77, 1978–79, 1979–80, 1981–82, 1982–83, 1983–84, 1985–86, 1987–88, 1989–90 Second Division Winners (4): 1893–94, 1895–96, 1904–05, 1961–62 Lancashire League Winners (1): 1892–93 Cups FA Cup Winners (7): 1964–65, 1973–74, 1985–86, 1988–89, 1991–92, 2000–01, 2005–06 Football League Cup Winners (: 1980–81, 1981–82, 1982–83, 1983–84, 1994–95, 2000–01, 2002–03, 2011–12 (record) FA Charity / Community Shield Winners (15): 1964*, 1965*, 1966, 1974*, 1976, 1977*, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1986*, 1988, 1989, 1990*, 2001, 2006

Liverpool is one of the great teams of English Football the other is Man U it is not surprising that players want to go there. If he does not want to play for us he can **** off and lets get someone in who wants to play for us There is no point not playing him we all now knownow he is not a decent bloke and has no loyalty

Strange then that Targett was in the England U21 Squad and McQueen was not Getting rid of a good youngster makes no sense

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
