Does anyone know the name of the song and artist (female) featured on the BBC adverts for last weeks Panorama? I have contacted the BBC but just got an automated reply.

Yes and we should get Mourinho in and he should sign Christiano Ronaldo and Kaka! That would be better wouldn`t it?:smt120:smt120:smt120

Can see your point with Schneiderlin and Holmes but I wouldn`t say that Svensson falls into the "Passing Game" category. The team today were so far away from the style of play that they were employing in pre-season and for the first league games and I can`t see that these two (as important as they have been) should have made that much difference to the style of play. It was very poor.

Absolutely no sign of the passing game that the team employed earlier in the season. No pattern to the play and no shape to the team. No saves for either keeper (virtually all of Saints shots/chances were straight at their keeper. He didn`t have to move). Too much "hit and hope" from Saints. A Barnsley team that were physical but no better than us. ONLY positive to come from game - didn`t lose. Total Football? Total Shambles IMHO. Well done Northam/Itchen North for keeping going and creating some atmosphere.:mad:

Is this scooby??

I always remember Plymouth Argyle fans calling us "Dirty Northern Bastards" a couple of seasons ago. Very funny!

I was getting myself in a holiday mood until I read the word "Branfoot" and it`s taken the edge off things! It brought back things from the dark recesses of my mind. I might need some councilling!

As far as most of us are concerned Basingstoke is close to the Arctic Circle. I won`t even venture north of the Chilworth Roundabout for fear of meeting "Northern Monkeys":)

Next time you a footballer go down and roll around in agony after the slightest tackle think how they would manage in some other sports. http://www.skysports.com/video/0,20285,14549_4085656,00.html

It was him. He used to direct traffic at the bottom of Bullar Road. Rumour was that he had recieved head injuries at some point and was just used for traffic duties and thing like keeping order at the Dell. Real big character.

Quite liked helpmerondha myself .

Two or three years ago Craig Charles was living in Bursledon close to the Jolley Sailor. We saw him in The Vine and had a chat with him. I asked about Red Dwarf and he said that they were going to Australia to make a film of RD. Didn`t come off I guess.

It was Tiny!

Apparently he was interviewed on SSN about this. Anyone have a link?? Should be good for a laff!

Thought Jason Crump was good value for his win in Latvia last night. Superb move in the final to come from the back.

And a good advert for the sport to any new-comers.

Or watch this! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_rnQd9rkYqw

More often than not I have to react almost immediately because sub-contractors have found a problem and if it is not solved they will not earn money and tight programmes will be affected. We all make mistakes in our lives/job (except you obviously) and it`s how we react and rectify them that is important. I am not negative as far as JP is concerned. I am quite confident in his ability to make Saints competitive and am looking forward to an exciting season, it`s that I am concerned as to whether he is able to, or has the playing staff to change things when the passing game is not working. We did not get going yesterday and a bit of desperation and long-ball crept in. Thats all. I hope that the spelling is a bit better this time (sorry that you were offended) and , yes, multi - million. Why the quotation marks?

It was actually in the paper itself.

Unfortunately I work in an industry were I have no direct employees under me- all sub-contract. I manage multi-million pound contracts with a work-force that is only interested in themselves, but it`s that gets the credit/takes the blame at the end. I have to make sure that the job is a success by any means available. If it does not work one way I have to find a viable way of doing it (Plan B). JP has to do the same. If the passing game does not work then has to change things during games to get 3 points. ATM I don` think that he can.

I sit in the Kingsland and IMHO he was like a headless chicken. He gave the ball away too many times and tried to run through players.

I am not a Football manager. I am a manager in another industry. If I plan to do something and it doesn`t work then I have to find an alternative way to achieve success. All I am saying is that our game plan is to out pass our opponents. If this doesn`t work then there has to be a different effective approach. ATM if the passing game is ineffective for whatever reason (Kids too tired, Blackpool brilliant -I don`t know) then there has to be an ability to change the style and emphesis. What that change of style is is down to JP not me. I`m not sure why this is difficult to understand.

I must admit that I was surprised that he played no part today. He was MoM on Tuesday.
