Couldn't find the Fulham matchday thread for some reason so not sure this link has not been posted before but in case it hasn't http://www.vivaelfulham.co.uk/articles/fulham-sights-and-sounds-away-days-southampton-7-319.html

Hasn't Adomah just scored a couple tonight for Boro?

I think the answer to your question is because what is the point of standing for a political system that is - in his mind and mine - completely broken. Whatever side of the political fence you sit our current politicians are dysfunctionally only interested in staying in power and not actually governing to the greater good of society. Brand is articulating what a vast majority feel. Love him or hate him he talks more sense than any politician I have seen or heard in the last 10 years or more.

Max you go for it - the more the merrier as far as I am concerned. I befriended a young French/Mauritian lad many years ago who married a friend of my wifes. He was football mad and asked if I could take him to the Dell which I did and he became as fervent as me. He lives in SA now but still follows the club with passion. People who were born and live outside the UK are quite entitled to support a club and if that club is Southampton then there is nothing wrong with that in my eyes.

Woffling.

Some pretty fair opinions but one thing I am convinced about is...... if Carroll is preferred to him then that will be a travesty. Lambert may not be of World Cup standard (debatable) but sure as hell he is better than the Jessie from Upton Park.

of making the squad that goes to Brazil? The Echo are of the opinion that it is a shoe in but I am not so sure. Reckon it is 50/50 and very dependent on his form over the next 6 months. Interested in other's opinion on his chances.

Both are

1 Park Lane Otterbourne Hants SO21 2HY tickets £6 each, cheques payable to "All the Saints" and please enclose a sae

I know I would rather have him on the bench than Do Prado notwithstanding how much he costs us.

Steve if you come to the event you can pick your book up and get it signed but I won't be able to run around getting people's books signed for them I am afraid. D

we've been lucky with injuries so far and there will come a time when Do Prado let's us down

With Do Prado being preferred to Ramirez on the bench that says a lot about what MP thinks of Ramirez and that is a worry.

STOP PRESS - The book is now going to be launched on the 29th November in conjunction with the ex-Saints at the Holiday Inn at 7:30. Lots of ex-players like Matt, Terry Paine, Mick Channon etc etc will be there. Tickets £6 from me (send me a cheque and a sae) and if you buy a copy of the book you get your six quid back. Fuller details later

Patrick - I will do but give it another month as we are up to our eyes in this book. He has kept all his tapes so shouldn't be a problem

It's not been a bad 4 years to be fair but there will always be the nagging worry what happens when the money stops rolling in...............................................

The guy in the wheelchair was Stuart Williams I think - David Bull was talking to him today

Noodles, I do know 9-3, he is a good Saints fan and was involved in the printing of Suited and Booted.

I will check out overseas prices

I think football fans are still being treated like we are in the dark ages. Good article in today's Observer re the return to having safe standing areas. But the powers to be, luddites that they are, still mistakenly believe standing led to the Hillsborough disaster and refuse to even debate it when the majority of premiership clubs welcome the debate. If having a sip out of a flask is a crime worthy of having a ST confiscated then the world is truly bonkers. I hope those with authority at SMS use their common sense, mirrorcarp, a good fan who makes a small mistake over a ridiculous law should not be penalised or treated like a thug. Good Luck

Bloody well put!

Many thanks
