Ah, but they're "good" Muslims who also happen to buy lots of arms from the UK, never mind that they publicly behead women, crack down hard on the slightest criticism of the ruling family and export the Wahabi brand of intolerant Islam. Interestingly, the ITV/PBS documentary "Saudi Arabia Uncovered" which was shown earlier in the week has been pulled from the ITV website but you can see it on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZK_Jx8VQd0 It's worth a watch to see a true picture of the type of regime Cameron sucks up to.

Probably worried that he didn't have enough change for the Itchen Bridge.

He was helped in the 2nd half by Skrtel coming on. Pelle had him in his pocket and out-muscled him easily.

Anyone else notice Pelle go straight down the tunnel at the final whistle? No celebrating with his team mates. Perhaps he had a dodgy curry last night.

Just finished Mascot by Mark Kurzem. It's the true story of a 5 year-old Russian jewish boy who lives in one of the Baltic states in 1940. When the Germans arrive in his village, his mother tells him to hide in the forest. From there he sees his mother and younger siblings shot by an extermination squad. After wandering in the forest for days he's picked up by a group of Latvian soldiers who are assisting the Germans. He's put with a group of jews who are about to be shot. For some reason a Latvian Sergeant pulls him out of the line and takes him under his wing. He stresses to the boy that he must never tell anyone that he's jewish. The soldiers adopt him as their mascot and make him a uniform like theirs and, after a while, he becomes quite well known and appears in propaganda photos and films. He also witnesses some horrific acts and finds it difficult to reconcile these with the young soldiers who are so kind to him. They all talk to him in the evenings and appear as just lonely, frightened boys who want to go home. As the course of the war changes he spends less time with the soldiers and is put in the care of a Latvian couple who treat him as their son. After the war he makes his way to Australia and raises a family but never tells them about his past. The author is his son who, in the 90's, is studying at Oxford. Bit by bit his father confides in him and tells him that, because he was only 5, he doesn't know the name of his village or where exactly it was. The two of them then embark on a research project and eventually trace many of the people from his past and get to go back to his home village where he meets some of the older residents who remember him and his family. A fascinating tale, part detective story, part history lesson which looks at the war from a different perspective.

Saw him when The Nice came to Southampton Guildhall. Very accomplished keyboard player.

My Dad started taking me to The Dell at the end of the 50's when I was 8. I think it was the early 60's when he decided that we'd go to an away game at Swindon. In those days the team used to go on the train and we were on the same one. It was packed and we had to stand all the way. It seemed to take hours so, to relieve the boredom, we went for a wander up the train. As we walked through the coach where all the players sat, Terry Paine (my absolute hero at the time) smiled at me and said "Alright nipper". I was walking on air for the rest of the trip. Don't remember too much about the match. What I do remember was being allowed to sit on the grass on the edge of the pitch along with a load of other kids.

There used to an urban myth floating around that there was more nutrition in the cardboard box than there was in the cornflakes.

Bombardier in Derby are building 65 new trains for Crossrail. Also, Hitachi in Durham are building new trains for the Great Western main line although the first evaluation models were built in Japan.

Don't hate any players for scoring goals.That's their job. Brian Robson who fell over his own feet and that did nothing as Jimmy Case was sent off for "tripping" him.

They also gave a loan of £1bn for Crossrail for which Boris sang their praises. Talking of Boris, I see that he's performed another u-turn after it emerged that a senior GLC manager had sent an email to all staff saying that they should support Boris's views or at least not contradict them. When this was made public he denied that it was anything to do with him, even though it was issued by his Chief of Staff, and that they could say whatever they wished.

The bloke's got glass legs. If he does play it'll be a wonder if he lasts more than a couple of games.

That's the problem. No one knows. We had Boris saying that a No vote would trigger further renegotiations and a 2nd referendum. Then he changed his mind and said that it wouldn't happen. But, on Sunday, Michael Howard said that it would.

I said that the economics weren't unreasonable if we sold the extra seats. Whether we would sell them is a different argument.

Ms Liebherr has stated that the club has to pay it's way. Using very rough calculations based on expansion costing about £3000 per seat, an increase of 10000 would cost £30m. If all of those extra seats were filled for every league game they would bring in just over £7m per season. So, about 4 years to get your money back. If you go for cheaper ticket prices then, of course, this period would be longer. Doesn't sound unreasonable but we all know how quickly fortunes can change in football. If RK leaves at the end of his contract his replacement may not be as good. A slump in form can lead to a fall in attendances. Would we fill 42000 seats? If we were doing well then possibly. I think that Ms Liebherr would need to see 3 or 4 years of us getting European football before she considered spending that amount of cash.

This list is a couple of years old but it's still very relevant: What did the EEC/EU ever do for us? Not much, apart from: providing 57% of our trade; structural funding to areas hit by industrial decline; clean beaches and rivers; cleaner air; lead free petrol; restrictions on landfill dumping; a recycling culture; cheaper mobile charges; cheaper air travel; improved consumer protection and food labelling; a ban on growth hormones and other harmful food additives; better product safety; single market competition bringing quality improvements and better industrial performance; break up of monopolies; Europe-wide patent and copyright protection; no paperwork or customs for exports throughout the single market; price transparency and removal of commission on currency exchanges across the eurozone; freedom to travel, live and work across Europe; funded opportunities for young people to undertake study or work placements abroad; access to European health services; labour protection and enhanced social welfare; smoke-free workplaces; equal pay legislation; holiday entitlement; the right not to work more than a 48-hour week without overtime; strongest wildlife protection in the world; improved animal welfare in food production; EU-funded research and industrial collaboration; EU representation in international forums; bloc EEA negotiation at the WTO; EU diplomatic efforts to uphold the nuclear non-proliferation treaty; European arrest warrant; cross border policing to combat human trafficking, arms and drug smuggling; counter terrorism intelligence; European civil and military co-operation in post-conflict zones in Europe and Africa; support for democracy and human rights across Europe and beyond; investment across Europe contributing to better living standards and educational, social and cultural capital. All of this is nothing compared with its greatest achievements: the EU has for 60 years been the foundation of peace between European neighbours after centuries of bloodshed. It furthermore assisted the extraordinary political, social and economic transformation of 13 former dictatorships, now EU members, since 1980. Now the union faces major challenges brought on by neoliberal economic globalisation, and worsened by its own systemic weaknesses. It is taking measures to overcome these. We in the UK should reflect on whether our net contribution of £7bn out of total government expenditure of £695bn is good value.

Does there have to be a specified percentage majority or would 1 vote swing it?

I wouldn't walk out until the game's finished. As a poor impoverished pensioner, my season ticket in the Chapel works out at about £27 per game. A reasonable price for the Premier League. With the large cash injection of TV money this summer, I'd be disappointed if Saints increased their prices for next season.

I find it disturbing that the OP posted at 8.25pm. Surely he should have been in bed so that he wouldn't be late for his infants school in the morning.

Where's all the snow?

Very few Academy players make it through to their 1st teams. Saints are probably better than most. http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/jan/21/academy-graduates-arsenal-illusion-flawed-system
