People learn from past mistakes and vote accordingly. We'd live in a one party state forever if they didn't. Brexit has proven to be a disaster. A massive majority now want to rejoin the EU. Get over it. [Post edited 27 Feb 10:06]

Isn't the Green Party the one that wants to rejoin the EU as soon as possible? Perhaps people have had enough of the economic woes caused by Brexit.
There is also an obvious need for European military cooperation to combat the threat of Trump and Putin. Young people especially want a safe and prosperous future.

On Feb 27 1965, I saw us beat Charlton 4-0 with all 4 goals scored by George O'Brien, but my first Feb 26 Saints game was a 2-2 draw with Norwich in 1966 with both our goals scored by Chivers. A Norwich comeback made it a bit of a blip in our promotion run-in. A couple of weeks earlier I'd been in the Fratton end to see us beat Pompey 5-2. That was more like it.
I was also at the Dell on Feb 26,1968, when we beat Everton 3-2. Ron Davies scored a last minute winner. It seemed like a big result at the time against a great Everton side who were one of the top 5 teams for most of the 60s. Alan Ball was superb. He really was at his best in his Blackpool and Everton years.
On Feb 26, 1977 was the big FA Cup 5th rd match against Man United, which ended 2-2, with all goals scored before half-time. The pitch invasion scenes after the game made the sports pages. It was so frustrating not to win that day. United ended our long unbeaten run in the competition by winning the replay and then the cup to get their revenge for '76.
Then Man United again at Wembley on Feb 26, 2017.....
We always seemed to get drawn against Man United in the Cup. We played 15 FA Cup games against them (Won just the 1 in '76, which means we've never beaten them home or away). [Post edited 26 Feb 15:37]

Yes, I was there at the front of the Saints end. I still can't forget that awful moment Puel subbed Gabbiadini, who was having the game of his life, when it seemed inevitable he would score again.. After that you could see the United players' heads lifting and the game turned in their favour. I count that as the worst substitution ever made by a Saints manager.
As others have said, the atmosphere was good and the prevailing mood was that Saints were going to win until that happened. There were some similarities to the '79 final, which I was also at. Saints' fans were tremendous that day and even had part of the Forest end. [Post edited 26 Feb 14:24]

He's earned some respect this season. Perhaps we could call him Stephens instead? Big Jack will always be associated with Jack Charlton. But, at least we should get rid of 'Slack', as it implies we're criticising him, every time we mention him. [Post edited 25 Feb 19:11]

Over the period he has been our manager we are top of the league. Just a shame he wasn't in charge from the beginning of the season, but it's easy to say that with hindsight. |

Also he scored 2 more goals in 1 game tonight than Fellows has scored in 33 games all season.
When you have an attacking player who doesn't score any goals, you have to consider replacing him with someone who does. [Post edited 24 Feb 22:42]

I was in New York in the early 90s, which is when a lot of the famous New York crime films were made, and it wasn't too bad then - I felt quite safe walking around, although you could see all the burnt out houses in Harlem. The worst that happened was when The World Trade Center was bombed, the first time, in 1993, as I was walking to it. I was pretty close. |

I'm the kind of guy who can. In fact, I'll be out in the back garden doing exactly that very soon.
Sol Yurick used his experiences as a social worker in New York to write his first novel, which the film, The Warriors. was based on. Unfortunately, his subsequent novels failed to reach the same heights. The same happened to Herman Raucher, the author of Summer of '42. That semi-autobiographical novel was the best he had in him.
Richard Price has had more long-term success with Clockers and The Wanderers as well as film scripts like Sea of Love. His novel, Clockers, is utterly brilliant and far better than Spike Lee's film version.
I've never understood why Peter Blauner's Slow Motion Riot hasn't been made into a film. As New York crime novels go, it's one of the best. [Post edited 23 Feb 10:41]

I guess, with more heavy rain forecast, they'll just have to keep watering the Fratton Park pitch although Ipswich might protest if they manage to postpone the game for a third time. |

It's beginning to pay dividends:
"Tonda Eckert has the luxury of working with the academy players and knows what each of them is capable of. As far as Sillah Dibaga is concerned, Eckert had been working on the winger's defensive skills, playing him as a wing-back in the Under-21s."

I don't think they'll be able to put off that Ipswich game a third time. The last time they had a lot of injuries, they watered the pitch during that heavy spell of rain and managed to get it called off for a waterlogged pitch. |

The Man from Marrakech. I saw him score on his Saints debut at Tottenham. The final result wasn't great.
Years later, I saw an article by him, saying how much he liked Southampton FC. We should have got more Moroccan players. They are some of the best footballers in Africa and undervalued on the transfer market. For years I wanted us to get the Moroccan centre forward, Ayoub El Kaabi, but he is 32 years old now.....Perhaps we should still get him. [Post edited 17 Feb 13:39]
