although the old Gas company could have inserted a proviso into the agreement for the purchase of the land that a commemorative plaque had to be put up for their lost employees, nothing easier really.

the lady is 78 according to the article, that would make her 8 in 1940.So she must have married someone who was involved at a much later date.I don't know all the facts, someone surely does.Mr Ellery must have been about 14 at that time.

maybe they'll drop out, 2022 is a long way away.

it's not about football,it's about the yob culture in general. I'm sure they have their problems in Russia as well but they are not similarly perceived.

the very fact that such clubs are in the 3rd tier is probably an explanation in itself.They are all there because at some time or other in the recent past they have spent far far far more money than their income allowed. It just couldn't happen anywhere else.UK football is sick with money and lack of it.It is not about sport any more it is about money, if you can't conjure up 75£ every other Saturday you probably can't watch your favourite team if they happen to be arsenal or Chelsea.The top teams are no longer for the masses,they are for plastic supporters with money.

never seen a flare at a match in Spain and I've seen quite a few.As for Russian football who watches that.

certainly didn't, I don't think the English bid was favourite at any time but 2 votes!!! The yob culture in England is perceived as a big, big problem everywhere except in the UK and has certainly contributed to getting just 2 votes.

What's going to happen to our home fixtures then,the pitch will be a real mess

What for? Southampton isn't a Rugby city.

and the Olympic Games

Mexico have only been awarded hosting rights once, they held the tournament in 1986 because Colombia defaulted on their bid at a stage when it was far too late to change the destination very far.

Is that RLGM that I see lurking 25 yards out in the background. WTF is he doing there,surely he should be in the 6 yard box sniffing for a rebound. Perhaps he's playing in midfield nowadays, 0-10-0 ...Burley must be in charge again.

by 2030 it will be Germany's turn again, unless of course they get 2026

Not unless we wheel out Cliff Richard singing a song that sounds roughly like Bing Banga Bang.What are Bucks Fizz doing these days,must be in some retirement home or other.

Nineteen C was god himself iirc

Everyone like England, it's the English that most people south of Dover, east of Grimsby and west of Lands End don't care for. The English need to brush up on their image.

It's not the point, european TV stations have gotten the idea,where from I couldn't say,that the UK can't sort out it's measly snow problems because you don't have the money to pay for the equipment which is bog standard in even the poorer northern european states,but all the same you want to spend billions on hosting yet another major international sporting event. The Spanish are openly blaming Zapatero and their economic crisis for their failure and yet the UK is blaming a TV programme. h x t

Just my opinion but we'd have maybe done better if Cameron and Prince William had stayed out of it and left it to football people. It worked for the Olympics,Blair and Beckham sold the Olympic family a then half-baked,undercosted project on their personalities alone;It was never going to work this time,I don't doubt that some members of FIFA think that Cameron would be better off at home sorting out the mess. Don't think Panorama is much to blame,last night's crowd trouble and the fact that the brits can't even sort out a couple of centimetres of snow are probably a bit more responsible..

although the lady in question was only 8 at the time and probably didn't even know the men concerned at the time of the bombing. Still good to see that all the years of campaigning have got a result although I'm sure it's the spot that's more important than the fact that it's SFC.My old grandad worked at the gas works for 40 odd years,I know a lot of people were extremely attached to it.

Brentford are on a bit of a roll at the moment, beat Colchester at home the other day.I really don't fancy a Seaborne/Jaidi pairing if they've got something resembling a striker who's decent on the deck.

who could understand it:x although we did have one poster who was in theological college at one time,can't remember his handle Neil somethingorother

that will be lost on most of them Pk

although Seaborne and Jaidi makes you just a teensy weensy bit nervous

anyway the whole of that particular action just negates totally the argument that Morgan never plays dangerous forward passes. Beautiful through ball, a real striker would have sunk it in a heartbeat, but Lallana isn't a real striker. Good work from him of course but this is really why we need an instinctive striker.Give Rooney or Tevez a ball like that and it's in the back of the net in a nanosecond...still we're in the 3rd division.

My what a surprise,just cannot understand where the saints twitter stuff came from.
