Sour Mash

So can you name a succesful Socialist government or not?

Based on your own opinion/definiton, name a succesful Socialist government.

Can you name one example of a successful Socialist government?

IMpressive considering the prices and the fact that Mn CIty didn't sell their allocation.

Definitely going to be one of those nights where a decent, up-for-it atmosphere from the fans will make a difference, not groaning in the first 5 mins when something goes wrong or going silent after 20mins if we haven't scored yet.

But he hasn't had a public fall out with the people behind this book has he? Which makes the decision not to sell it, petty, stupid and unnecessary.

You'd have thought the Executive Editor and Editor would have some idea of who should really be picked for such an award.

Absolute joke of a decision. ANyone know how the nomination process works?

The club can really be unnecessarily petty when it comes to things like this, a real pity.

It will be Cropper.

I agree that Cork can't be happy, but I guess the argument is that now MS plays in a more advanced position, S. Davis is his direct replacement and Cork would be the direct replacement for Wanyama, the midfielder that sits in-front and shields the back 4.

That'd probably be my pick as well. Will be very interesting to see what MP does re Osvaldo/Lambert. We are definitely lacking creative options in the squad at the moment.

Is Hooiveld injured? I'd rather have Cork or Davis in for Schneiderlin.

Definitely a low crowd then!

Is Block 43 available to Saints fans for the Villa game? Or are we just not selling seats for it at all?

Tough game against a very strong team, we could have probably done a little better. CBs, Wanyama and Rodriguez played well for me.

Edit: Wrong thread!

Not saying we should 'ship him out', but surely this is the place to criticise a poor performance?

When has anyone got on Ramirez's back?

The Alex definitely isn't the best pub in Southampton, No-where near. Not bad for the occasional pint or two. Re. the OP, all depends what you like in a match day pub really.

To me that's not a positive statement on Ramirez at all.

Because the overall standard of world football and English club's access to those footballers has also increased greatly.

Look at Chelsea's support down at ours in the FA Cup game last season; I can't see Arsenal still being able to turn out that sort of support these days, even as a one off.

True and the strangest/most ironic thing is I doubt those videos are ever watched again half the time.

I think when he says 'posh student types' he doesn't mean actual university attending students. Regardless, it's fair to say that a very high proportion of Arsenal fans weren't going to watch their team 10/15/20 years ago.
