KelvinsRightGlove Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Thats true but we are always hearing about randow beatings whilst being drunk and the like, up here its a straightener and its pretty much sorted out, just look at todays page of the Echo, Liverpool's Echo no diferrent but its a far far bigger City with an outlying area of over a Million people, parts are rough but other parts not. So basically, it's a city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sanchez Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 So basically, it's a city. It is but its a great City, dont get me wrong I miss Southampton sometimes but I have not lived there for 14 odd years and even then I lived outside in a village, the City needs more to be done to it, its boring for any age, in fact its crap, the skates have their tower and we have an ikea.

Yes we could have one of them in Southampton, that would give a bit of sparkle at least and a good hotel bar is always great for the single men looking to impress.....................

tajjuk Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Name 5 nice parts in Southampton with things to do, good restaurants and bars and the like. Most of the City Centre is pretty good now, All started from West Quay and they have done up that square (millenium) in front of the Guildhall. Much better than it was 5 years or so ago. But to be fair I said both had crap areas, but just said Liverpool's areas are bigger because it's a bigger city. 20 mins in the car from Soton centre and you can be in the country, whereas in pool you are just in the vast urban dreary sprawl. The docks at Liverpool are pretty nice but the main bar/club area was pretty rubbish when I went and as I said Bristol has a much better city centre and has the nice dock area.

I dont want to be a scouser at all, I am a Sotonian and a proud one but one who happens to find Millbrook, Thornhill and Shirley as ****e as parts of Liverpool, the difference is th ****e parts up here there are things to do and nights out that dont revolve around getting hammered before 2200, thats when Southampton closes doesn't it?

Its not all bad trust me I would not be here otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might mean Cash Converters sort of thing, there are 3 in Southampton. However before the advent of cash walls and saturday bank opening M+S was everyone's Saturday bank.

I told you all yesterday exactly what the situation was, it's not Daily Mirror guesswork, the Italian press usually know roughly exactly what's going on. The price is 15 million € we've offered about 10/11, Liverpool 8.5. There's still a way to go and Milan are in the mix although they're now looking at Carvalho on a short term basis.
