  1. Get in! That ends a terrible game on a good note. Nightmare defending from Swansea Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Five centre mids and Rickie Lambert, bloody hell Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. There's a small group of fans who scream for more distance shooting every game. We've got it today and they're not going in. Answer: it's about variety Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Do you think we're playing the three in midfield so we can have a man waiting outside the box? Someone who can make space for shots, as we've had from Cork and Wanyama? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Well, that's defensive. Trying to choke midfield might be a smart tactic though. Shame Targett's not made the bench this week.
  6. It wouldn't be on that basis alone. Walker's injury has forced a rethink and Clyne might well be next on the list.
  7. It's the latest in a long line of offensive, racist, homophobic or misogynistic epithets and comments Jeremy Clarkson has spouted whilst filming. I should also point out that you can't perform a witch-hunt on an individual.
  8. I can't say I'm particularly fussed whether Guly stays or goes, but if he goes I hope he does get a last run out at St Mary's. He deserves that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I really wouldn't worry about it, he's going Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Last night I had a dream that Saints fielded a back four of Gazzaniga, Chambers, Reed and Ward-Prowse So, no matter who plays today, remember that it could be worse. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I really, really doubt Marks and Spencer asked Roy for his 23 before they approached the players. And if they did, I really, really doubt Roy told them anything. Presence/absence of Saints players don't mean a thing
  12. It's important because it does form a core part of people's identity. If people are born and bred into British culture then they are born into one where white is the norm and everything else is 'other'. This is why you hear well-meaning people say things like 'I don't really see you as black' - as if that would be a problem. Failing to respect and celebrate our differences makes it an attempt to integrate people of colour into a white norm.
  13. The media team posed the questions and made prompts under his regime. I doubt the players were forced into saying anything against their will.
  14. Just aesthetically or because it would have the right balance of colours? For me it's as big a departure from tradition as all red, just uglier.
  15. I'm afraid you misunderstand what racism is, or what a society free of it would look like. It is not about washing away our differences, it is about celebrating them and providing equality for all. Race, unlike hair or eye colour, is central to many people's identity. You could, however, argue that's mostly because of racism - race as a badge of honour, etc. You'd do well to watch more black comedians, anyway - and think about why the ones who do reference their race all the time are put on TV. Jeremy Clarkson. The person who leaked the video believed there was significant public interest in revealing the language and attitudes of one of our most popular TV personalities. And they're right.
  16. Well you're not gonna go back to Bucharest for a loaf are you?
  17. The early results are interesting - more balanced than I thought it would be. Whoever voted for quarters can get in the bin
  18. The question should be changed from 'is Jeremy Clarkson racist?' to 'is Jeremy Clarkson perpetuating racism?'. One has a much clearer answer than the other. The same applies to the Black and White Minstrel Show - its viewers weren't racists by default but it reinforced incredibly damaging stereotypes and its viewers supported it. That's still a problem. You don't say the n-word blithely. You just don't. I'm terribly sorry it can't go back to the way it was when you grew up, but we as a society have lifted a lot of oppression since then and would quite like to keep going.
  19. I don't think so. She's made herself a lot more visible since Cortese left.
  20. Ramirez might be back from injury. Yoshida, Davis and Rodriguez still out and Schneiderlin probably back. Some nice words from Garry Monk as well: "It will be a proud day. I've got a lot of friends left in Southampton from my time there. That is where i learnt to be a footballer and learned my trade, alongside some fantastic players. "It's a brilliant club and come Saturday it will probably be one of my proudest moments. "From a footballing principle, that is where we have tried to get to, but this is the first season where we have had a fall back from where we have been going previously. "They (Saints) are a very good football side with a great ethos, and of course you want to aspire to something like that."
  21. There's no reason at all to assume it's changed. However, there's a chance it has done or will do over the summer. We'll have to wait and see.
  22. Do we really have to choose between racism and The One Show?
  23. Nobody at Chelsea will be happy with that, not really. They bottled the title this year, not Liverpool. I think the defeats against Sunderland, Villa and Palace will stay with them far longer than the victories at Anfield and the Etihad
  24. This made me feel warm and fuzzy inside
