Heard someone suggest on the radio the other day that it should be free to gain your coaching badges, at least at the lower end. Makes sense if they really want to get more people qualified.

Didn't we already try something vaguely similar to the post-match pub idea? They used to keep one of the concourses open for drinking and watching Sky didn't they, maybe they even still do?

That wasn't aimed as a criticism of Liverpool, don't be so touchy. The link you posted was for a massive redevelopment of derelict docks next to the city centre wasn't it? Have a look at an aerial shot of Southampton, 95% of the shoreline is taken up by active docks. The Mayflower Park area is tiny in comparison. I also don't understand who you imagine would be doing all this redevelopment? You talk as if it's the council, but that's a ridiculous idea. This type of scheme has to be performed by private companies. As we've already established, property in Southampton is expensive. So you'd have to spend a fortune buying loads of people out (assuming they want to sell), then spend another fortune knocking everything you've just bought down, then a third fortune building the new development. It's a pipe-dream, it would never happen. My point was that if you have a bunch of derelict land going spare, you're already a long way down the road to accomplishing a grand scheme. I'm not really fussed whether a city is attractive to tourists anyway, a city should exist for the people who live there day in day out. That means decent houses, employment, recreational areas. I lived in Portsmouth for years and despite the fuss people make about tourist attractions (which the locals very rarely visit), Southampton p1sses all over it for quality of life. I know it's upsetting that people keep mentioning it, but if people want something out of the ordinary there's this little place called London up the road........

Difference seems to be that Liverpool would appear to have loads of derelict areas, such as those in your links and the streets upon streets of empty houses they show on TV. Southampton is still a busy working port, there simply isn't room for a scheme like that. It's a blessing and a curse I suppose, it's great that Southampton is such a busy port but then you get people moaning that they can't access the waterfront....

Isn't it only the Europa League teams who have their matches automatically moved to Sundays (as Europa League games are on Thursday evenings)? Simple answer then, is to bypass the Europa League and head straight for the top 4......

Didn't really have much chance did they? Swansea took the free kick and were half way up the pitch while several of our team were still well out of position celebrating the 'goal'.

What did Fonte get booked for? He and Lovren both got booked in the same incident, Lovren for the foul so did Fonte get booked for something he said?

Down to seventh as things stand with City 2-1 up at half time against Everton. Our season is disintegrating rapidly, if the trend continues we'll be relegated for sure. Dropped 3 places in the last 7 days.......

The problem with the Europa League is that it gives you Champions League amounts of games, requiring a larger squad, but not enough money to pay for the extra players.

How dare you smear the Daily Mail with the sins of it's sister the Mail on Sunday! Just because one relative does something, you shouldn't assume it's siblings will do the same!

It's a spoof, but lol at the people pointing out that the Mirror was owned by the same bloke and also supported the blackshirts........

I don't even understand what the record's supposed to be?! I imagine they'd only conceded one goal to this point in '83 and then let in a couple in the next game? Bit of a spurious 'record'.

Might get busier now as it was named in the Sunday Times best 100 hotels in Britain at the weekend.

What mysterious apology? Only thing I can see is when he praised Orient for winning 7 out of 7, then corrected himself and apologised because it's 8 out of 8.

It doesn't seem to be the delivery time that's the problem, it's that they don't dispatch the item for 2/3 days. That's totally within Amazon's control, which is why I think they are doing it deliberately to increase take-up of Prime.

Yes, it's deliberate to increase sales of Amazon Prime.

I actually thought in the second half on Sunday he was our best player. Strong, able to ride challenges, athletic, some good passes. Just goes to show, opinions are like ar*eholes, everyone's got one.

Our last 20 games is pretty much bang on mid-table form. 1.2 points per game, Swansea and West Ham came 9th and 10th with 46 points last season.

Just bought some tickets for this match after reading this thread. Will be getting the train, is it best to go to Waterloo / change at Clapham ? Basically what's the quickest route and how long will it take me? Need to pick the tickets up from the ground if that makes any difference.

Or could it be that Glasgow Saint has made it all up and no premiership clubs are interested at all? He'll go on loan to the Championship again, that's his level. All this 'destroying his premiership dream' stuff makes me laugh......

Yeah it's a pretty ropey page. Accuses big business of using bad science and misinformation, but makes a number of claims itself which it doesn't backup with facts or sources (eg 5 million bees dead on one farm).

Most people on this thread don't seem to know what onomatopoeia is......

Excellent post.

To be fair, that's Rooney's own brand.

If it's 'only' £300k you wonder why we even bothered to have a sponsor this year. Such an insignificant sum in terms of our total revenue for this season.
