I live in Bracknell too and agree with you but work is happening to speed up traffic at the Coral Reef junction and the M3 is currently being enhanced which is positive Bracknell is a great place to bring up kids plenty of things for them to do schools are great improving all the time good road links but slow railway to Waterloo North Bracknell is probably the best place to live but the other areas including Great Hollands which now includes Jennetts Park have good areas too Getting Back to Southampton is sometimes troublesome around Winchester as I found out attending evening games

You do not seem to be a very compassionate or rounded person but one who think they are pretty clever but to many on here you are just a Tossa. For 27 years the Hillsborough disaster was framed as a story of overwhelming loss. But it was also a marathon of injustice: a point poorly understood by people like you who wondered why the mourning never ceased. To lose a loved one in an accident is terrible enough. To lose a son, daughter, brother or sister and then see criminal negligence denied and covered up by a hostile system is a whole other level of anguish. It was this institutionalised callousness that prevented the relatives of the 96 victims from laying the dead to rest and moving on with their own lives. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/04/26/paul-hayward-hillsborough-injustice-prevented-families-moving-on/

You seem to be a particularly nasty man there was a terrible tragedy in Sheffield in 1989 when 96 football fans like you and me were killed due to the failings of the Police and Ambulance Service who should have been there to look after them. The families of the deceased were then subject to total a torrent of lies from the Establishment to cover up their numerous errors and the fans were pilloried in the Press. As View From The Top has said read http://www.theguardian.com/football/...P=share_btn_tw and the comments below Men saw their children die due to the police and then the police lied, lied again and carried on lying. You have to be an utter tossa if you think after 27 years the people of Liverpool should not 'celebrate' that the true facts have now come out and the people who lied may now be taken to task. Yesterday was a fantastic day for the way a group of ordinary people overcame the wrath of a corrupt establishment to get justice for therie loved ones I salute them

If you went off to a football match and came back dead dont you think your family would be really upset if they were told a pack of lies by the authorities I certainly would. I found the accounts of the families quite emotional some would have had their lives ruined by the incorrect actions of the police and others

I think he was probably offside too but who cares
-
I think you are talking nonsense but thats not new
-
Is there any truth that we have to pay more if he plays a certain number of games Think we may not lose today
-
He was a really good crosser of a ball and did well for us in the Championship we did get promoted the year he played for us so I would say he was an excellent buy
-
VVD would be but Forster is overated
-
I wonder how much he is getting for doing **** all
-
At the moment seems a waste of Money lets hope he gets to play a few games

from the BBC How good were Southampton? Good, but probably only reached third gear. They pressed the Newcastle defence from the whistle, knowing that they could force a mistake. Long troubled the backline with his pace, while Pelle pulled both Mbemba and Taylor - who was substituted at half-time - out of position. Jordy Clasie was once again tireless in his closing down

One good thing about football fifty years ago was that football was at 3pm on a Saturday now never sure when we play I know it is tomorrow but not sure of the time but will look it up
-
I totally agree with you especially the last sentence as a country we need to invest to leave future generations with good schools roads houses hospitals etc
-
I think it is called loyalty
-
I was really pleased we went for the JPT most of by high points of the Saints is associated with Cup games soon it will be forty years to the day when we won the FA CUP apart from the JPT not sure we have won much more but it has been really great being a Saints supporter over the last fifty five years seen some great footballers Paine Channon Ball Keegan crap managers Branfoot Redknapp so many memories really glad I come from Southampton
-
I was one of the 19,839 and 19,248 at Leyton Orient saw First game at home v Man City the 9-3 win over Wolves and of course great days
-
There is no reason why Spurs cannot be a big club again they certainly were 50 years ago much more successful than Chelsea and Arsenal in the 1960s. By the way I always thought Lallana was overated all show and no end product many non Saints fans saying the same

Around this time fifty years ago we could only hope for Div 1 but we did it thanks to Terry Paine and his eight or so goals Who remembers these fixtures Sat 02 Apr 1966 MIDDLESBROUGH H League W 3-1 The Dell Fri 08 Apr 1966 Bristol City A League W 1-0 Ashton Gate Mon 11 Apr 1966 BRISTOL CITY H League D 2-2 The Dell Channon scored his First Saints goal Sat 16 Apr 1966 CRYSTAL PALACE H League W 1-0 The Dell Wed 20 Apr 1966 CARDIFF CITY H League W 3-2 The Dell Sat 23 Apr 1966 Preston North End A League D 1-1 Deepdale Sat 30 Apr 1966 CHARLTON ATHLETIC H League W 1-0 The Dell Sat 07 May 1966 Plymouth Argyle A League W 3-2 Home Park Mon 09 May 1966 Leyton Orient A League D 1-1 Brisbane Road Wed 18 May 1966 Manchester City A League D 0-0 Maine Road I certainly do

We have had immigration for hundreds of years it is only in the last twenty or so years we have seen the rise of ISIS and other similar groups I am not condoning violence in any way but there must be some reason why it is happening lets face it our country up the 1960s was responsible for some pretty awful violence in its colonies and the centenary of the 1916 rising bears this out. We are still doing it to some extent bombing Syria and Iraq but we seem to live in a pretty poorly led era where our leaders are not up to the job -

How is Islam is an aggressive religion at odds with Western civilization It maybe there are aggressive people making it look like it is not unlike the Nationalist and Union Thugs in Northern Ireland. But I must admit is is very hard to control people who are hell bent on blowing themselves up so they can be a martyr -
Not so sure if they got rid of Scotland they could possibly rule for ever in England as they only have one seat in Scotland

I am sorry Wes I was only trying to have a laugh I voted no in the 1970s but now I am not sure out is a good thing because I live in an area which is very dependent on North American Companies for work and most are here because of access to the single market In fact my elder daughter works for a Canadian company which sell products and services through out Europe and the likelihood is that they will move to Paris where they have a small office. I think this referendum is pants as we are only seem to be having it because our incompetent PM decided to have one to placate the right wing of his party and to stop MPs and voters going to UKIP. It would be different if there was a clear choice stay in a slightly reformed EU or leave with firm proposals as what that would entail and whether non UK companies would leave the UK eventually to gain access to the single market and what would happen to the pound and tariffs within the EU. You just have to look how our country is so dependent on foreign companies locally with Dell HP Microsoft Oracle Honeywell Fujistu and Siemens being the main employers But now all we have is outers going on about migration and sovereignty and inners saying what might happen with regard to farming energy or anything else. According to the OECD the Euro zone s growing better than than the UK and we are heading for a period of low growth thanks to Austerity so I would prefer to stay with the status quo and not risk anything happening to the economy which makes it go into recession which has been suggested by the Mark Carney of the Bank of England. http://www.oecd.org/std/leading-indicators/CLI-Mar16.pdf But I understand concerns that people like you have about EU making laws which are unacceptable to the UK but I think there are enough checks to make certain that this does not happen. Most seem to be beneficial I particularly like the reduction of costs to mobile phone users when they are in other countries within Europe

I am sorry to go on but the deficit was not caused by chronic overspending by the Labour Party as lied by the Tories but by the global financial crisis that resulted in recession and a calamitous collapse in tax revenues. By 2007 Labour had cut the level of national debt, and was running a lower annual deficit than it inherited when Tony Blair moved into Number 10. In fact, as the 2009 budget shows, what actually happened is that the Treasury’s own projections for the tax take plummeted. They had expected growth in revenue, but in fact they got a collapse. By 2009/10 they were taking in about £112 billion less than they had expected to. And that’s why they needed to borrow so much. Yes, spending went up a bit. But really, they just had a lot less income than they had planned for. Labour cut some of its debts, but it could have done much more. That said, the drop in tax receipts triggered by the economic crisis is what’s behind the bulk of the £149bn deficit. So who can be trusted more to run the economy – Labour or the Tories? If the Conservatives succeed in eliminating the deficit and reviving the economy then Labour will be in trouble. However, if the recovery starts to falter again, the Labour might once again earn the right to be heard on economic matters which is where we are at the moment because growth is slowing and the deficit is not falling as fast as was promised despite all this austerity as tax receipts in January were worse than expected this leaves the public sector deficit heading for a higher figure by the end of the financial year this month than the Office for Budget Responsibility’s £72.2bn target.. http://mainlymacro.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/time-to-rewrite-bit-of-oral-history.html Most of the GDP growth has occurred because of immigration and the economic activity of the migrants so an increase in immigration will lead to more growth and a lowering of the deficit who would have thought that https://www.oecd.org/migration/OECD%20Migration%20Policy%20Debates%20Numero%202.pdf But of course there needs to be investment in Schools Roads Housing etc if migration is to be viewed as an economic success Portsmouth is understood to have become the first city council to vote to leave the EU in the forthcoming referendum so people like Wes Tender might like to move there and be with BREXIT brothers mind you I would be surprised if anyone there was interested in Sovereignty
