Totally agree. It is toe curling embarrassing hearing people slag him off on here. He seems a good guy, scored more than enough goals to justify his £4m price tag and I wish him well in his future.

Consonant please Carol. Edit: I don't mean that in a nasty way TameSaint I am just not sure how you calculated your sums! I concluded that nothing really had changed from the referendum.

Why? Clearly a nice guy, good to have around the dressing room, has another season in him and can offer something from the bench.

Great guy to be in the squad sadly a victim of the hostile online era.

Really enjoyed reading that thank you.

That is interesting in that I always imagined everybody called it the Great War before the second war. They certainly did here but in the US it must have been different.

Yes I salute them too for all they did for us. I hope I never win an Oscar because I will forget to thank someone!

We would not have won the war without them but Ii am not sure we were trying to 'help' each other out.

We did also have to fight the French in the last war. I would though never discount the bravery of the Poles and the Czechs or indeed the role of the Norwegians but I think you would admit it was less of a game changer than the contribution of the US.

Just pointing out that we were not really getting help from these European nations - just liberating them. For that we needed the help of our friends across the pond.

In fairness the French, the Belgians, the Russians, the Dutch, the Serbians, the Norwegians, the Greeks, the Poles, the Czechs, and the Danes were occupied by the Germans in World War 2.

Koeman left because Everton offered him more money than he could refuse!

Go to the William Hill site!

Maybe he is referring to the classroom disruptors, that didn't bother with the careers advice or further education. That went onto spend their late teens and early to mid twenties not really doing much. Then realised that they had to work and because they had not bothered to take advantage of what the system had to offer could only get low paid manual work. Where I might part ways with Stug76 is there are always those in life that have just had bad luck. That is when the system demonstrates its effectiveness and I am not sure it does.

Not only does Amazon short change the taxpayer, they have also effectively closed down large swathes of our high streets and limited tax take further. How is this allowed to happen?

I am sure you aren't Duncan but how does one interpret being a 'bit of an arse'?

Well said. Some of the comments made about Charlie Austin and indeed other Saints players are genuinely embarrassing. He has suffered with injuries but that is why he only cost 4 million. He has scored goals and if his attitude was an issue within the club it would have been flagged.

You have eloquently expressed my view.

Ii remember that so well. Funny how many goals I have seen and that one sprung to mind as well! I would say Telfers goal against Newcastle as well.

Wise words but you ignore the highlight of not worrying about losing socks in the wash. It doesn't matter.

We will see how he gets on at Villa. Maybe I romanticise a bit and Club legends can come from anywhere but as a supporter I think it adds something when a player has come through the youth system or is a local lad. I think they know the club better, have more of an attachment and that is contagious in a dressing room.

That is fine Sue but as a supporter I like to see local players doing well and would rather he stayed. I also believe that you cultivate a better team spirit by having players that have a local affiliation. It is difficult to put a valuation on having players who have a sentimental attachment to the club but don't ever underestimate it.

Would liked to have seen a local lad who had come through the youth system stay. I rated him and thought he would develop further. The forum boo boys have got their way.

Very good

Honestly what would you do if somebody high profile moved in next door. Have a pint and a debate with them or organise a vindictive campaign against them even though they are a young woman?
