I would expect them to be more flexible than you would expect.

I would recommend that somebody goes to Brussels discreetly and does what Cameron could not achieve and negotiate more relaxed clauses on freedom of movement. The leave vote will provide the added leverage needed. With these won you could justify going to a second referendum because the circumstances have changed. That should give a 45-55 vote in favour of remain.

I have a vested interest but I would politely take issue with the ability to rear animals humanely. There will always be some variance between people who work in the industry and those that are disconnected because they deal with livestock day in and day out and inevitably are less sensitive in their treatment of animals but it is counter productive for a farmer to not rear his livestock humanely; stressed animals are simply not productive. There are also premiums for schemes like red tractor and freedom foods which require regular vet inspections and a plethora of regulations in place to safeguard good practice. Your average farmer takes a huge amount of pride in his stock and works constantly to improve it. The closure in the eighties and nineties of local abattoirs is an issue because this added to the travel. Ideally 'home kills' where there is no stress would be a solution but this are outlawed. The meat from animals killed locally actually eats better because they are relaxed at slaughter. Sadly the farming community is not savvy with PR and are losing the argument. If you want to film a bad news story from any farm you can always find one because on a livestock farm you will always have sick animals just like the human population. The biggest enemy is ignorance and it is lazy to just view sensationalist YouTube clips and come to a negative conclusion when if you were genuinely concerned you could make a few telephone calls and somebody will always provide the transparency you sought. Some of us probably eat too much meat but nobody understands diet better than farmers and meat is an invaluable component of our food intake.

I am speculating here of course but the fact that he went on loan was that it was him that did not embrace Ralph's new way.

Especially if we have lost a wicket or conceded a goal and they are supposed to be supporting Hampshire, Saints or England!

Do we ever put in a good performance on the last game of the season when we are safe?

I thought at the open trading he looked sharp and his attitude stood out.

How very sad. He was an authentic link with an era of supporting Saints I was not around for. RIP Toomer

I thought Charlie Austin's attitude was spot on. He seemed a good guy to have about the place.

The problem is when a manager leaves it rips the heart out of the club. The only positive is that it means that managers are more likely to be attracted to the club. I would still argue that a Hodgson or a Pellegrini might provide a longer period of stability. Well Roy is getting on a bit.

I was guilty of wanting Hughes because he was unlikely to leave however well he did. i regret that but still think the principle is correct; go for old timers who have enjoyed success at one club left to go to a bigger club and then failed there. Ralph is absolutely fantastic but we all know that come the end of next season, if we continue to progress he will be gone.

Logically the only get out clause would be if we got relegated from both ours and his perspective.

..... and then gone to Everton?

Winters coming

We undoubtedly need a striker but much as I like Danny and Charlie, you simply cannot rely on them to stay fit. If Danny was a washing machine you would write to Watchdog!

What is the point of getting rid of a bench striker who has fantastic pace, scores a few goals and is a good guy to have around the club? Can you put forward some suggestions as to who we should sign and how much they would cost?

It would be unfortunate if they were.

He is currently a back up for injured defenders; that is his current level. I hope he improves but reading some of the comments on here is hardly going to give him the confidence that all good footballers need.

The forum boo boys have a new target. Under Puel he had a good run and responded; he even scored a few goals. With encouragement and game time his confidence will grow and he will improve.

How many clubs before us had achieved back to back promotions from league one to the premiership?

I have appealed again. I pointed out that the fact so many tickets were issued that night suggested that there signage was not sufficient.

Quite a good session in the bar for Yoshida! Two or three hours.

It still infuriates me this refereeing. Not only did he give a free kick that wasn't he then allowed the free kick to be taken in the wrong place. That could have cost us our place in the premier league.

When did your old man go to his first Saints match? He must have seen Ted Bates play!
