Koeman left because Everton offered him more money than he could refuse!

Go to the William Hill site!

Maybe he is referring to the classroom disruptors, that didn't bother with the careers advice or further education. That went onto spend their late teens and early to mid twenties not really doing much. Then realised that they had to work and because they had not bothered to take advantage of what the system had to offer could only get low paid manual work. Where I might part ways with Stug76 is there are always those in life that have just had bad luck. That is when the system demonstrates its effectiveness and I am not sure it does.

Not only does Amazon short change the taxpayer, they have also effectively closed down large swathes of our high streets and limited tax take further. How is this allowed to happen?

I am sure you aren't Duncan but how does one interpret being a 'bit of an arse'?

Well said. Some of the comments made about Charlie Austin and indeed other Saints players are genuinely embarrassing. He has suffered with injuries but that is why he only cost 4 million. He has scored goals and if his attitude was an issue within the club it would have been flagged.

You have eloquently expressed my view.

Ii remember that so well. Funny how many goals I have seen and that one sprung to mind as well! I would say Telfers goal against Newcastle as well.

Wise words but you ignore the highlight of not worrying about losing socks in the wash. It doesn't matter.

We will see how he gets on at Villa. Maybe I romanticise a bit and Club legends can come from anywhere but as a supporter I think it adds something when a player has come through the youth system or is a local lad. I think they know the club better, have more of an attachment and that is contagious in a dressing room.

That is fine Sue but as a supporter I like to see local players doing well and would rather he stayed. I also believe that you cultivate a better team spirit by having players that have a local affiliation. It is difficult to put a valuation on having players who have a sentimental attachment to the club but don't ever underestimate it.

Would liked to have seen a local lad who had come through the youth system stay. I rated him and thought he would develop further. The forum boo boys have got their way.

Very good

Honestly what would you do if somebody high profile moved in next door. Have a pint and a debate with them or organise a vindictive campaign against them even though they are a young woman?

Not really. I don't like bullies whether they are on the left or the right.

Can you imagine the intimidation she must have felt. Putting posters up all around your flat and the railings up the road. Making abusive gestures at your partner when he says good morning. They were even planning to get a mob of 300 together, one assumes to chant more abuse and like some kind of sixteenth century witch hunt to drive them both out of town.

Cameron clearly believed that they would be flexible, that would have been based on something. When it came down to it, he was undone by political posturing and arrogance from the EU. Now that we have voted to leave and the EU project has been undermined I believe that they would be more willing to consider a relaxed version of freedom of movement that they can still argue does not compromise their principles. I may of course be wrong but it would swing any new referendum and put the whole Brexit episode behind them. Would that be a price they would be willing to pay.

Hook, line and sinker. The one thing that last night showed us was that nothing has changed. Any new referendum would be a knife edge.

I would expect them to be more flexible than you would expect.

I would recommend that somebody goes to Brussels discreetly and does what Cameron could not achieve and negotiate more relaxed clauses on freedom of movement. The leave vote will provide the added leverage needed. With these won you could justify going to a second referendum because the circumstances have changed. That should give a 45-55 vote in favour of remain.

I have a vested interest but I would politely take issue with the ability to rear animals humanely. There will always be some variance between people who work in the industry and those that are disconnected because they deal with livestock day in and day out and inevitably are less sensitive in their treatment of animals but it is counter productive for a farmer to not rear his livestock humanely; stressed animals are simply not productive. There are also premiums for schemes like red tractor and freedom foods which require regular vet inspections and a plethora of regulations in place to safeguard good practice. Your average farmer takes a huge amount of pride in his stock and works constantly to improve it. The closure in the eighties and nineties of local abattoirs is an issue because this added to the travel. Ideally 'home kills' where there is no stress would be a solution but this are outlawed. The meat from animals killed locally actually eats better because they are relaxed at slaughter. Sadly the farming community is not savvy with PR and are losing the argument. If you want to film a bad news story from any farm you can always find one because on a livestock farm you will always have sick animals just like the human population. The biggest enemy is ignorance and it is lazy to just view sensationalist YouTube clips and come to a negative conclusion when if you were genuinely concerned you could make a few telephone calls and somebody will always provide the transparency you sought. Some of us probably eat too much meat but nobody understands diet better than farmers and meat is an invaluable component of our food intake.

I am speculating here of course but the fact that he went on loan was that it was him that did not embrace Ralph's new way.

Especially if we have lost a wicket or conceded a goal and they are supposed to be supporting Hampshire, Saints or England!

Do we ever put in a good performance on the last game of the season when we are safe?

I thought at the open trading he looked sharp and his attitude stood out.
