Heard there were still something like 20,000 unsold tickets for USA’s opening game. Although would support any fans boycotting but could you imagine a European or South American host nation having trouble shifting tickets for their opening game? My big protest will be not entering FIFA’s fantasy football competition

Problem is that you cant speak for all. Its a business that has to make its own decisions. Suggestions perhaps but if the past is anything to go by, it comes down to moaning about the price of a pint or who supplies the pies

I knew it was going to end badly when Sibley turns up trying to get into our area flashing his Johnson’s loyalty card, glad the bouncers didn’t let him in.

It was a shame you had to leave, you should have stayed on with us. Dragan took us to Spearmint Rhino after you left, it all get a bit messy, Phil passed out in the loo and Sporesey got sparked out by a bouncer.

Just looking at some of the first round of group games. There are barely any that you’re going to want to watch. So many teams in it now the group stages are pretty irrelevant. Spain v Cape Verde, Germany v Curacao two completely pointless games which will be shooting practice. Brazil v Morocco is the only game that id want to watch out of the first 5-6 days of games but that doesn’t kick off until 11pm. What a load of bollocks

I was at work at Vosper Thorneycroft when I heard Kevin had signed for Saints, I thought it was a wind up as well,

I was ski-ing in Italy and received the news on a ski lift from a couple of Watford fans that Kevin Keegan had signed for Saints. I thought it was a wind up until I was able to get hold of a Daily Mail the following day (no mobile phones in those days) What a player!! If we had been able to get hold of Peter Shilton a year earlier, I reckon we could have won the League and/or FA Cup.

Well Dragon has already flown in to meet me. He asked me for a chat and advice which I was only too happy to offer. We had a good deep discussion over lunch for around 2 and half hours before I had to leave to attend my next meeting. I can’t say too much for now but i can REVEAL a club meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, watch this space, will say more when I can. #bewareoffalseprophets

Cancer. I would love it if he beat that.

I personally really like the FA Cup Winners crest which omits the black background of the "Southampton FC" bit. Just feels a little more aerodynamic somehow.

Southampton. He met with Lawrie McMenemy at a local restaurant,the potters Heron, and was convinced to join us. one of my biggest footballing heroes joined us. It was magical seeing him play for us week in,week out. what side we had. And he was fantastic. Sad day to hear this.

The more time goes by the more I think he should stay: - Obvious rule breaking by the EFL in the process [playoff final to be contested by semi final winners, and 14 day response window for clubs who have been sanctioned were both ignored in the rush to get rid of us] - Obviously partisan pro-Boro 'independent' panel making the sanction decision [1 ex player, 1 ex lawyer] - Obvious stupidity at our board level [amateurish approach to Gibson ahead of 1st leg, poor media management] - we aren't going to get a technically better coach than Tonda - at least some of the players [if rumour is to be believed] want him to stay. I think we should play legal hardball with the EFL [it won't change the outcome but will make life as embarrassing and awkward for them and Boro as possible if their process-abuse is highlighted], and take a screw-you-too approach to anyone who complains about Tonda. [Bielsa retained National-Treasure status and spied far worse]. This might also influence the FA as they dawdle over their investigation- if its clear we will fight any ban aggressively, the suits there may not want to start a legal ruck that they're not certain to win. Citeh, ManUre etc etc don't get their way because they're right, they get it because the authorities are too scared of the consequences of challenging them. I think we would do well to be a less likeable, agreeable club.

No (assuming the FA show some consistency)

Poor man’s Damion Downs

The tree needs to be brought up to date.

The current crest is perfect. You can instantly recognise it from just a silhouette which is an earmark of good design.

having followed the Academy sides (along with the first team) I'm surely not the only fan who followed the progress of Dom Ballard from his earliest days in the U18's. Season by season he outscored all comers, by a country mile. This success continued when he reached the U21 side (a level that many youngsters fail to achieve) and inevitably he went out on loan to clubs in " the men's game " and his performances didn't go unnoticed. Sudden injuries can set a young players' career (or even end it) and so it was sad when Dom was out a long time after his. Rehab can take a long time ....whilst meantime ...back at the club.... managers and coaches came and went and Dom remained an forgotten name seen only in the treatment room, and when eventually fit, the new staff members couldn't be blamed for asking "..Dom who ? ", and so in an attempt to give him a chance in the the future he was sold (rather than the normal loan-out) and went to Leyton Orient and not only saved their position in League One (they finished 20th) but also ended up as leading scorer in L1. Now is the time to admit this was a wrong move from Saints' perspective -even if we had a "good deal " with a juicy sell-on clause but after spending most of his youth in our Academy, he finally achieved the success he deserved and he belongs back here.. So.....my message to the club.....for goodness sake ..get him back PDQ. This is surely a no-brainer in his case, and for anyone who says ,,(he won't make it at " the higher level") ...remember people said that about Rickie Lambert - several times. Dom will never become... 6 foot tall striker, but playing alongside someone who is, he must surely be worth a chance to prove himself.

Along the same theme.. Maybe we could have a big S and a Pie or Saints Hiding In Trees? ..just thinking out loud.

Good luck, if you do t ask you don’t get

Priority recruitment into an expanded Armed Forces for white British males is in there, along with greater emphasis on teaching Christian values in school. Their policies are just another mish-mash of right wing angst aimed at Express and Mail readers. I expect at some point the Party faithful will start wearing uniform brown shirts.
