  1. Isn't Harry Kane jinxed!?!? Have never liked him as a player. When you think of the great England strikers of the past, to have him amongst top of the list makes me squirm. He has never won anything, spends years at the 'nearly club' in North London. Leaves to go to one of the most successful clubs in Europe to win something as time is running out, scores lots of goals and still doesn't win anything. Jinxed!!!! The questions are: Who would you play in his place? And how would you change the formation to suit a new striker?
  2. Thanks all for the above. Why doesn't the city council stand up more for these these historical events?! Costs money I suppose. There is so much for us to be proud of our city and as AlehouseBrawlers said above 'we should shout louder about our city. I live in London and no one knows (or cares to be honest) anything about Southampton, other than they think a few 'boats' leave from there. I'm always proud to tell people I'm from Southampton and often bore them with by abbreviated history of Southampton.
  3. Why is Southampton receiving very little mention so far on all the commemorative broadcasts. I understand why Portsmouth is the centre of attention as this was command centre. Southampton was the main deportation port with approx' 2/3rds of the British, American and Canadian troops left from Southampton. About 150k troops landed on D-day on the first day. Only about a 1/6th departed from Portsmouth. From D-Day to the end of WWII an estimated 3.5million troops went through Southampton. There were of course other ports also used on D-Day which also receiving very little coverage.

  5. There were escalators but were out of action. Due to my asthma I had to stop twice. When we got to the top a woman in a suit just said sorry escalators are out of action. No one at the bottom saying the are 5 levels to climb!!! When I started just presume we were going up one level via stairs. Many older people struggled with the stairs for 5 levels.
  6. I've driven quite a few times in Italy, Sicily drivers are the worst. The trick is to drive as they do. They don't understand driving with curtesy and hesitation.
  7. Well done Saints system worked perfectly for me this morning, no hold ups and count down was accurate. I was expecting problems but work first time.
  8. What's he saying about the penalty that wasn't given.
  9. Would we have lost if McCarthy had to make a save on his near post? Just as pointless as the original question.
  10. anyone got a stream that is working. thanks in advance
  11. No Plus 9 for Saints gives us 96 points. Leicester losing to us mean they have-3 points. We would be 2nd on 96 points. Leicester would be 3rd on 94 points
  12. Who do we want to play in the semi finals? Norwich/WBA/Hull?
  13. Big club bullying. FA curtailing to rich premier league. EFL ignored, even though they provided more than 3/4 of the clubs participating in the later stages. Another showing of the gulf between the haves and have-nots growing. If the big clubs think they are playing too many games then they should go back to UEFA and demand the European tournaments go back to knockouts rather than mini-leagues. And we all know that won't happen.
  14. any other streams. this one is now continually stop / starting.
  15. good shout.
  16. And the commentary hasn't even mentioned it being a deflection let alone it was off his arm!!
  17. score early, concede late?!?!
