Too true, but that's not down to her...

They have been since the coal ran out, with their Sky TV and council homes.

It wasn't a debating tactic. If you are happy she has died, then you are agreeing with those people. That's all.

And George Galloway seems happy. Makes you think twice about what your opinion on politics surely if that's the kind of people you're agreeing with?

Are you seriously suggesting that Thatcher is akin to either of them? If so, you're more stupid than we thought (and that is prettymuch dog-thick).

And this shows the average intelligence of those that are pleased. Can't come up with a well thought out argument on why they are happy someone has died, but instead just decides swearing is the way to go. Is your Mum still alive?

Why? Bit of a bad attitude.

What I love is the rubbish their fans spout about being a big club. I don't think they realise that outside of Green Street nobody really a) gives a **** or b) thinks they're a big side. Laughable. Oh and if they want to know Gazanigga was £1m, not £3m, so that takes it down to £28m. And we're not £100m in debt.

RIP, remarkable woman and even better economist.

Why haven't people trusted him anyway? That's like not trusting a girlfriend who's never cheated?

Definitely, although I think it should have been done earlier. But hey, it's all worked out quite nicely so far.

He's not an out and out striker, he's more of a winger come striker. Pacey and tricky.

http://www.football365.com/f365-says/8621503/F365-Says Saints' Future Looks Even Brighter Than The Present Southampton are safe from relegation, and with an exciting, young squad and an exciting, young manager, Nick Miller thinks even more exciting things lie ahead for them... It is of course too early to come to a definitive judgement on Mauricio Pochettino: Southampton manager, but the first job he would have been tasked with is done. Even before their assured (with the notable exception of Artur Boruc's occasional circus act) 2-0 win over Reading they were probably safe, but now, with 37 points on the board and six games remaining, they really are secure from the drop. And not just secure - they have a reasonable chance of sneaking into the top half of the table, which would be quite the result. Only four newly-promoted sides have managed that in the last ten seasons - Manchester City in 2002/3, West Ham in 2005/6, Reading in 2006/7 and Birmingham in 2009/10. The challenge for Southampton now is to avoid what happened to three of those four, who struggled and were eventually relegated in subsequent seasons. This, presumably, was one of the primary motivations for Nicola Cortese replacing Nigel Adkins with Pochettino earlier this year - Cortese had an eye on the future, as well as the present. The outcry following that decision was understandable, because Adkins was doing a perfectly decent job, but it wasn't necessarily that Adkins was performing poorly, just that Cortese thought Pochettino could do better now, and indeed in the future. Most managerial changes are judged on what the outgoing boss has done, rather than what the new man could do, which is understandable given the former obviously has concrete information, but is often not a constructive way of looking at things. Indeed, perhaps the success of Southampton to this point, and perhaps further in the future, may encourage other clubs to adopt a similar, ruthless approach. Adkins got Southampton into the Premier League, and while he may well have kept them there had he stayed, he was perhaps not the man to ensure they progress to better things. Pochettino looks a more likely candidate to achieve the latter. And looking at their side, Pochettino could well have the squad to be more than simply a Premier League survivor. In Jay Rodriguez, Rickie Lambert and Gaston Ramirez, they have an exciting and dynamic forward line, ducking here and there, interchanging splendidly. As an aside, Adkins started with that trio together only three times in his time in charge. The midfield also looks handy - Morgan Schneiderlin is perhaps the best 'under the radar' player in the Premier League this season, while Adam Lallana was recognised by England earlier this season. With some judicious additions in the summer - a keeper, a centre-back or two and some squad depth further up the pitch - and they could potentially challenge for European qualification next term. Indeed, as I wrote*here *shortly after his appointment, player recruitment was another justification for Pochettino's appointment - he is simply more likely to attract exciting players than Adkins. Of course, keeping hold of their existing talent will be the first priority, and one expects Luke Shaw, Schneiderlin and others will be in the minds of the bigger boys when they plan their transfer activity. They also have a hugely exciting youth to their side. Of the outfield ten who started against Reading, Steve Davis is 28, Jos Hooiveld is 29 and Lambert is 31 - the rest are 24 and under. That Shaw is 17 is astonishing, given his speed, power and assurance on the ball. I'd like to have a look at his birth certificate please - he's Southampton's answer to Kanu. And the procession of youngsters looks like it will continue too. They're currently second and third respectively in the Under-18 and Under-21 Premier League Elite Groups - indeed, they're one of only two teams to qualify for the Elite phase of both those leagues this season. The other is Manchester United. So if the present looks pretty good for Southampton, the future could be even better. Nick Miller - follow him on Twitter*here

Another good win. Onwards and upwards!

Have to give the advantage to the attacking side though...

Davis should have scored...

Now that wasn't good by Ramirez...

Fans love a scapegoat. No idea why people can't just support the players.

Ramirez has been on off, but hey, that happens with a lot of players like this. Any of you lot watched Nani before? I'd still have him in my side as he can make things happen (J Rod hit bar chance for example).

Come on Saints!!

Isco...

Ouch...

Definitely the ploy. We're very chummy with the Sun now.

...is it really up to him what economic policies we employ. I always hear from people at work, on this forum etc that we should have a Chancellor that knows economics. I'm not so sure myself and I think it's quite naive if people believe he actually makes any economic decisions and that it's not left to an economic thinktank...my old lecturer at Uni was part of Labour's for instance during GB's reign.

I think the maximum he earnt was £800k? for some reason that number is in my head. I certainly wasn't one that criticised (however I could have been classed as a 'Lowe Luvvie').
