Radio 2 is targeted at the over 35's. That's why it's full of DJs who were popular in the 90's early 00s, and plays music that would've been on Radio One at that time. I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm guessing you pre-date that era and that's why you aren't a fan of how it's changed in recent years. Other stations are supposed to appeal in its stead, but guessing that isn't the case I suspect the BBC will have to scrap the TV License at some point - for me it's a shame, but if too many people don't feel it provides value for money then it's the only fair option. Certainly parts of it are going downhill, its journalism especially. I believe it's still the most neutral news outlet out there, as it seems to get as many complaints from both Labour & Tory supporters

I like long, but Adams has been far more effective at linking play than long ever was. He just needs a bit more composure in front of goal and he’ll be a 10 goal a season guy and a big asset to us. I think he’ll come good On that front
-
Latest that season I guess
-
Even if Lazio don't but him it's a good league to generate some interest in him. He came from to us Italy very highly regarded so hopefully he shows that kind of form and tricks another club into thinking he's worth a punt!

My last post on the subject but you missed my reference completely... you assumed I was “offended” when I wasn’t at all so I assumed you “felt big” in response. As to your second point, yes of course I look at how people dress and behave and think “what a knob”, but I don’t feel the need to sneer at them just because they’re different
-
No. Did posting the picture make you "feel big"?
-
Because I dislike people being sneered at because of how they choose to dress...

Why do any of you care what he wears off the pitch??

Sorry but that's a ridiculous comparison. If Kevin Keegan was on the 1980s equivalent of £600k a week there is no way we would have signed him....

I don't think anybodies saying we would be better off without Ralph, but he has shown himself a few times to be remarkably stubborn in changing his approach. Last year we started horribly playing 4-2-2-2 without the players ready for it, this year we have been stung in both games by playing a higher line than our defenders can handle. We have gifted the opposition three points when really I think we were worth 4 from the first two games. If we play this high again next game serious questions need to be asked. It shouldn't take a thrashing each season before Ralph changes things up
-
Ronnie Ekelund incoming!
-
I took that to mean Hojberg & Reed, but you may be right that he’s referring to targets we’ve missed out on
-
He was much better than KWP currently is, but agree his best days appear to be long behind him. Hopefully KWP can scale similar heights
-
I thought Delph as well. A solid proven prem player Who’s versatile as well. Given he’s been at city then Everton though I wonder whether wages would be an issue
-
Like I say you have an agenda on this so I'm not going to argue it with you. But re the bit I lost you on, a little research by you would reveal exactly what I meant https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-49469337

Do we not already have a replacement for Boufal in Djenepo? He did as much in his limited gametime last season as Boufal has done for us in years. If he stays fit I don't think we even need to replace Boufal, just spend the money on a better cm
-
Well someone has an agenda... I quite agree that the bbc should have known before everyone else that the pandemic was coming and therefore shouldn’t have given any pay increases, shouldn’t have replaced the outgoing radio 2 breakfast presenter with someone else on a lower wage thus saving money overall And definitely should not recognise Britain’s diversity. They should also continue to fund a government project designed to get votes and then abandoned by said government by dumping the liability onto the bbc without them having any say whatsoever /s Plenty to criticise the bbc for with today’s report but you’ve picked the wrong targets here

The Sunday Times - Southampton put up for sale at £250m
Barsiem replied to The Odd Guy's topic in The Saints
You've already changed your point but re the £80m, I cannot find anything in the news about it so will have to take your word for it, but spurs borrowed £175m and are considerably bigger than us https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11675/12000522/coronavirus-tottenham-borrow-175m-to-cover-costs-incurred-due-to-pandemic Quite happy to keep questioning, but I've seen nothing to suggest he's been bad for saints (albeit he does have a questionable background) and really don't understand why he think he's so terrible. He doesn't engage with us, which I would like him to do as well, but given how we all hated it whenever Kruger opened his mouth maybe that's for the best. -

I don't think he's seduced anybody, and I also think it's ridiculous to say he's brought nothing. When we appointed hassenhuttl, I recall people close to him saying we had no chance of appointing him, yet somehow we convinced him to join us. Semmens as well has been a big improvement over Kruger. We're slowly getting rid of the deadwood and improving the squad, all under Gao's stewardship There is a real tendancy on here to attribute everything bad to an individual, and not give any credit for any good. Reed is regularly slated on here for carillo et all, but if someone mentions vvd or mane etc it always absolutely nothing to do with him. This kind of attitude frankly defies logic. No Saint is jumping for joy because Gao is in charge. Every saints fan would like an abramovic or Thai king to take us over, but that isn't what this guy mooted in the papers is. We have a sensible owner who isn't rinsing the club or jeopardising our future, and that'll do until we get a better alternative. We've seen what's happened when cowboys and chancers have been in charge of a football club with our friends down the road -

Who says Gao just wants out?? All I’ve seen is a bunch of smoke and those journalists closest to the club have denied he’s looking to sell. I find the attitude to Gao on here bewildering tbh... someone made a ridiculous statement that they’d rather have an American in charge, which is completely xenophobic, and people desperate for him to go. He has been quiet about his plans for the club, but the club is in a better place than when he took over and he deserves some credit for that. He certainly seems infinitely better than this guy who has already owned a football club and was hated by the fans there -
Not surprised JWP is starting. I think he’s got a great chance of establishing himself in the starting line-up, or at least the go to guy on the bench

Mods need to resume the Kindergarten thread, or better yet start a ‘Argue about semantics with MLG’ thread....

Hope he does really well, though not when he's playing Saints of course...
