Yep...apology accepted

Saw The Nice at The Beehive in Bournemouth in 1969...kept us waiting for an hour and a half after charging us 17/6 to get in. We thought the world has gone mad! What next a quid a gig?? The gig was good though.

Saw both...they have to be right up there but it has to be Joni Mitchell, Royal Festival Hall, Sat 17th January 1970. I was in love and I suppose I still am...even though she's now 70. ...and of course Jeff Buckley, Wedgewood Rooms, 1995.

Absolutely right...nothing to see here, just a spoilt brat whose chance of a nice big paycheck has been delayed for a season.

I think I'm offended.

"Ofcom concluded that the word was capable of causing offence" They received two complaints. Calling me "a honkey" is capable of causing offence...but it wouldn't. I get more offended by being called "Dude"

Here's one for the older element here. From Tom Petty's new album, "Hypnotic Eye"...out Monday.

I think Reed has looked at the way to break through "The Glass Ceiling" and has realised we won't do it with British players brought through the academy. Yes we have a production line of fine young players but to build a team to challenge for a place in top 4 of the Premiership you need something more…you need a smattering of world class players. At the moment Southampton aren’t in a position to attract those kind of players…you don’t leap-frog from 8th place into the top 4…you build gradually, sadly trading some of your best players as you go. Raising money to add to a war-chest where you can rebuild and improve the team in a sustainable way; trading home grown players for players of equal or better standing and adding any profit to the war-chest. As we know British players are over priced; at the moment we are playing that to our advantage (hopefully). Ask yourself how many truly world class player have emerged from the UK in the last 10 years…I would say 1, Gareth Bale. Do you think anyone we have sold in this window has the chance to be another Bale? Hard to tell I know. In the next couple of weeks I hope we will see the emergence of Reed’s new “5 Year Plan” It’s hard going at the moment without the incoming players but nobody in their right mind would think there isn’t a plan in effect. Maybe we’re also victims of the “want it now generation”, young players who think 5 years in the Academy is serving their apprenticeship rather than 5 years in the first team. I’m obviously an optimist but there is also a realist in here too…if we are to continue to improve there will be more pain on the way…get used to it. It’s a hard job to balance pain with gain.

Here you are Nick...something to cheer you up. [video=youtube;oY-RXVRpnUY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY-RXVRpnUY

There was a time when the players were much wealthier than the supporters...that was then.

Of course. ...at the Uni Refectory and a couple of other local venues...and McDonald & Giles in an open air gig in the Uni grounds.

Good call...played that vynal to death when it first came out.

Here's one for you Kelv...as a self proclaimed pop girly music fan...this is a lot of fun... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lKh8OoMPjU

I thought it was early '70s...started with the sound of seagulls swirling around the Guildhall...we were in the balcony. Also saw them at the "Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music" at Shepton Mallet - June 1970, an early performance of Atom Heart Mother in the middle of the night: http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/bA1.html scroll down for the full amazing line-up.

Jeez what a bunch of miserable moaning assholes. I got mine yesterday and found nothing to moan about but I just knew I could come here and find an endless supply of numties prepared to franchise their unique brand of misery to whoever will listen.

Always makes me cry...just wonderful. Images from Manhattan and Annie Hall.

Nope...I'm after the one who knows how to suck her stomach in and point that toe when a camera appears.

Just sent her a friends request...here's hoping.

Isn't that something the board should be looking at FFS...Jeez and I though we were aiming at a balanced squad.

Thanks...a true supporter...we need more morons like you.

Koeman is an experienced man manager. I doubt very much he is furious with Loveran's behaviour or that he would transmit those feeling to the media even if he were.

Me too.

An old favourite...

Just a couple of overs...
