Sour Mash

Surely Nathan Dyer would be the obvious choice on that basis?

Absolute joke decision that. It can't be argued that there isn't a big club bias in terms of international call ups.

I'm not exactly one for the usual 'anti-Saints' agenda stuff, but don't think Lambert has been shown the respect he deserved by Hodgson etc.

I don't follow them closely, but France have done ok under Deschamps haven't they? Not going to finish top of their group with Spain in it.

Good interview (from what I can understand of the content), very open, is he saying that his partnership with Wanyama isn't currently at the level as his partnership with Cork last season? And that Pochettino has changed his preferred formation to fit in Osvaldo and Lambert?

It doesn't bother me that the club weren't involved, as they can't support everything, but surely you can see the appeal of such a night to Saints fans? A great opportunity reminisce over one of our greatest player's careers and share some anecdotes. No different to most "An Evening with......." nights.

Depends what form the bullying took, but it could fall under a number of crimes.

There has definitely been a problem with Muslim gangs grooming young non-muslim girls over the past few years, loads of court cases recently.

A bit of luck on something like a penalty shoot out.

Without being clear on why Ramirez wasn't included in the 18 for the Swansea game, it is speculation, but I'm not sure what Ramriez could do between now and the Man Utd game to change anything, so I guess it's likely to be Guly again? Unless Ramirez was dropped as a one-off kick up the back-side?

Bite?

Yeah terrible manners proving old Bazza wrong again

I'd just assumed that as Southampton was such a terrible place to live compared to Liverpool, they'd be giving houses away as well, guess not though.

Are they selling houses in Southampton for £1, yes or no?

It's his Mother saying it was because he was white. Regardless, what a ridiculously sad story, poor kid.

That is an interesting stat, although it's probably going to be 7 of the team that finished last season's match + 3 new signings and Fonte. Will be interesting to see if Ramirez regains his place on the bench or Guly is used again.

They're practically giving houses away in Liverpool. Why? Because no-one wants to live there. I'm sure you can find lots of examples of houses being sold for £1 in Southampton though?

This is what I call ambition http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24465114

Robinsons is a good pub as well, knew I'd forgotten somewhere.

The Black Cab tours are well worth it, we had a really good driver, Republican, but was balanced to see both sides and we had a walk around the Falls Road, Shankhill Road, the various murals and sites of the troubles over the years. Otherwise there isn't a massive amount to do in the city. The Titanic stuff is part of a new development, worth a quick visit to the museum, but you won't need more than half an hour there. The Crown is a good pub, but overall didn't find tons of good boozers in the city. Take a visit to Windsor Park?

Why don't you start a separate thread about Liverpool and what is happening there and then we can all post on that?

West Quay is fine for what it is, there is plenty of room elsewhere in town to rebuild, Bargate, East Street and around there. Plans announce the other week for Mayflower/Waterfront look really good, just a pity it'll take close to twenty years for them to be delivered.

It hasn't been though. Keep up at the back Barry la'.

Why would I think anyone would owe me a debt of gratitude? Where have I suggested that? Been to Liverpool over 20 times, so know the city fairly well thanks. Never lived in or around Southampton, so you're off the mark on that one as well. Must try harder Bazza old son, you're having a 'mare here.
