Have you tried split ticketing??

40-minute chat with Matty. Covers much the same ground as the "Sporting Greats" programmes recently on Sky, but interesting all the same. http://www.theguardian.com/football/audio/2015/jul/13/football-weekly-meets-podcast-matt-le-tissier

If this is true then sign him up ASAP.

Was it black and were you acting in self-defence and do you live in the Deep South?

This post should be removed as it is nowhere near negative enough.

You're right but they won't do anything about it. I'm over 60 but still working and getting a pretty good salary. I don't need the Winter Fuel Allowance and I could afford to do without my bus pass (which I use a lot in Southampton and London). But my age group are the ones most likely to vote and so the parties are reluctant to do anything that might upset us. Hence the people who've done well (or least badly) in the budget are pensioners who's incomes will be protected and, ironically, where the largest portion of the benefits bill is spent.

Even if we got another 15000 seats it wouldn't be that much extra income even if we could fill them. 15000 @ say £40 x 19 games = £11.4M or one reasonable-quality player per season. Set that against the capital cost of expansion and I doubt if the club would see it as worthwhile.

When he was here, he was the best thing since sliced bread. Now he's gone, he wasn't that good after all. This is the standard reaction when a player leaves who we would like to have stayed.

Probably to Atletico. 12 months ago few of us had heard of Toby. He wasn't having a good time in Spain so we took him on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season (or Atletico had to pay us around 1.5M). His reputation soared over last season and I imagine that Atletico thought that they could get a lot more for him than we had agreed, hence the stalling tactics. We may well have already offered more than the original price but if Atletico don't want to sell him to us, what can the club do? We can't force them to sell.

Even born-again Salisbury have got Premiership Bournemouth and Bristol Rovers.

The Guardian, in a slightly sarcastic comment, says he's off to Villa... "Something of a coup for Villa, that, especially as Saints were able to offer Gueye a guaranteed starting place at Anfield for the 2016-17 season".

They also give approx £2m to charity each year.

They were interviewing David Dingle on Radio Solent last night. He was looking forward to next year and an increase in cruise traffic in Southampton of about 10%. He was praising both ABP (for the terminal improvements) and the Council (for the access improvements to the Eastern Docks). Didn't sound too unhappy.

If you enjoyed them, you may like "Thomas Cromwell : The Untold Story of Henry VIII's Most Faithful Servant" by Tracy Borman. It's a very readable account of Cromwell's life based on documents of the time.

Used to work with a guy who served in the Falklands. He said that the troops used to refer to the Falklanders as "Bennys" due to their somewhat unsophisticated ways.

Europe's busiest turnaround cruise port. UK's most efficient container port. Can take the world's largest container ships. Voted best UK cruise departure port 6 years running. UK's leading car-handling port at 800000 vehicles per year. Contributes £990 million to the UK economy of which £714 million is in the Solent region. But P*mpey do have a new Gosport ferry...

Don't buy a new car. Get one about 6 months old. Any faults will have been fixed and you'll save a couple of thousand quid.

Met Eric Cantona at the Eurostar terminal at Waterloo. Asked for an autograph for my nipper and he was quite OK with that.

It plays "O God Our Help in Ages Past" written by Sir Isaac Watts one of the great Hymn writers, who was born in Southampton.

Spent a train journey from Southampton to Waterloo chatting to Barry Horne. He was playing for us at the time and was going to see a Harley St specialist about his knee. Very modest, quiet bloke with a dry scouse wit.

Due to be announced this afternoon.

If you don't speed, you won't be fined.

He writes a weekly column and has named Jose Fonte and Ryan Bertrand in his Team of the Year. His Manager of the Year is..........Ronald Koeman. He said he was tempted to go for Mourinho but he cocked up Chelsea's Champions League campaign and he thought that Koeman deserved it taking account of what he inherited in August.

The "skillful" players are much more protected by referees today. George Best was kicked all over the place but was still outstanding even on pitches that were like ploughed fields. Goalkeepers were fair game for big hairy centre-forwards, sometimes the keeper would end up in the back of the net with the ball. Many of the old hard men (Tommy Smith, Larry Lloyd, John McGrath) would have a job staying on the pitch today.
