Can't blame Rudolph for trying to take wickets. He appeared to be given the option of withdrawing his fast bowler and then the game could continue. He didn't choose for the match to be stopped, that was the umpires.

Looking at the schedules, they're running a series called "The Manager". At 15:45 this afternoon, the subject is one Ronald Koeman.

Sat 3rd Oct Chelsea away now 5:30 Liverpool away now Sun 25th Oct at 4:15 Bournemouth at home now Sun 1st Nov at 4:00

I would agree with that.

Book: The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck Film: Godfather II or Goodfellas or Far From The Madding Crowd (the original with Alan Bates and Julie Christie). I believe that they're re-making it.

Glad to here that I'm not the only one still waiting for his Season Ticket.

First time that I've seen Eastleigh described as "middle class". I suppose that, compared to Pikey Island, it's positively aristocratic.

I'd ber interested to see the figures that back up your statement as, according to the OPCS, 50% of those claiming DLA are living below the poverty line (or 60% for families with children).

I certainly remember Erica Roe.

Don't see the problem. It's one bloke's opinion. No more valid than yours or mine.

No way, she should stay in the kitchen and have dinner on the table when he gets in after a hard day on the golf course.

I have a season ticket for 3 reasons: 1. I don't have to bother remembering to get a ticket for games before they sell out. 2. The matchday tickets are cheaper. 3. My seat is reserved for a period for cup games. I don't see why I should have priority buying tickets for other people.

Have you tried split ticketing??

40-minute chat with Matty. Covers much the same ground as the "Sporting Greats" programmes recently on Sky, but interesting all the same. http://www.theguardian.com/football/audio/2015/jul/13/football-weekly-meets-podcast-matt-le-tissier

If this is true then sign him up ASAP.

Was it black and were you acting in self-defence and do you live in the Deep South?

This post should be removed as it is nowhere near negative enough.

You're right but they won't do anything about it. I'm over 60 but still working and getting a pretty good salary. I don't need the Winter Fuel Allowance and I could afford to do without my bus pass (which I use a lot in Southampton and London). But my age group are the ones most likely to vote and so the parties are reluctant to do anything that might upset us. Hence the people who've done well (or least badly) in the budget are pensioners who's incomes will be protected and, ironically, where the largest portion of the benefits bill is spent.

Even if we got another 15000 seats it wouldn't be that much extra income even if we could fill them. 15000 @ say £40 x 19 games = £11.4M or one reasonable-quality player per season. Set that against the capital cost of expansion and I doubt if the club would see it as worthwhile.

When he was here, he was the best thing since sliced bread. Now he's gone, he wasn't that good after all. This is the standard reaction when a player leaves who we would like to have stayed.

Probably to Atletico. 12 months ago few of us had heard of Toby. He wasn't having a good time in Spain so we took him on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season (or Atletico had to pay us around 1.5M). His reputation soared over last season and I imagine that Atletico thought that they could get a lot more for him than we had agreed, hence the stalling tactics. We may well have already offered more than the original price but if Atletico don't want to sell him to us, what can the club do? We can't force them to sell.

Even born-again Salisbury have got Premiership Bournemouth and Bristol Rovers.

The Guardian, in a slightly sarcastic comment, says he's off to Villa... "Something of a coup for Villa, that, especially as Saints were able to offer Gueye a guaranteed starting place at Anfield for the 2016-17 season".

They also give approx £2m to charity each year.

They were interviewing David Dingle on Radio Solent last night. He was looking forward to next year and an increase in cruise traffic in Southampton of about 10%. He was praising both ABP (for the terminal improvements) and the Council (for the access improvements to the Eastern Docks). Didn't sound too unhappy.
