We in pot three, then?

There was a subtly to it I appreciated. Sometimes one has to admire a craftsman at work.

4/10.

Cheers Steve - I wouldn't have noticed last season as not something I pay huge amounts of attention to - it's the right thing though. Leicester deserve to be a top seed: they've come through the hardest qualification of all, ie actually winning the league, not the slightly artificial coefficient of the likes of Arsenal as you say.

I worked that out - my question is whether this is a new rule or not. I thought MCFC did not get similar treatment when they won the league.

My inner The9 was perplexed that Leicester seemed to get an automatic top seeding for the CL. I thought I remembered that MCFC got lumbered with difficult groups to get out of even when they won the league so expected LCFC to get similar treatment. Have the rules changed or were MCFC just unlucky?

Need to hear it from Jose.

I think saying he won't go to the tournament because he's not good enough to make the squad is not the kind of argument that will convince Alpine to calm down.

Alan Shearer is the star at the top of the Christmas Tree. That made sense. The rest of it is a load of namby pamby foreign hipster rubbish.

I will be calling him Poo-fal.

Feels incredibly Saints like. Like a goldfish bowl this forum.

Shame it's to be completed "early next week" but there you go.

Where is this "law" in place, then? Certainly not on this forum.

Que sera sera Whatever will be will be We're being run profitably Que sera sera

We got bills We gotta pay So we gonna pay them off immediately because we have a very positive cash flow situation actually.

You seem to have been going on and on about Bertrand leaving this window since about three days after he signed his new contract. Do you need us to renew players contracts every fortnight now to reassure you?

I'd suggest the only media outlet that used a reference to SFC in its headline is the Southern Daily Echo for spectacularly obvious reasons. There's certainly no widespread linking to SFC to this story anywhere, apart from appearing in his "he played for..." list bit in each report, which is fair enough. He did. And "star" is used by every newspaper on earth every day forever as a shorthand for "player" regardless of club, appearances or general star quality. I think the only thing "stretching credulity" is you desperately trying to a make a news story that has nothing to do with us and has been reported everywhere as having nothing to do with us as being part of some media conspiracy against us. You're about 90 years old but some of your posts suggest you've never seen a newspaper story before. Are you are high court judge or something?

This is like the last five minutes of Jonathan Creek. All he clues are coming together.

Since their elevation to level 2 four days ago we've got absolutely no chance of beating them.

It's a Boufal day Don't let him slip away It's a Boufal da-ayaaaay Touch me Don't go to another place Reach me I know Saints are a hopeless case

This is a season where it is perfectly acceptable to bin the League Cup off to the youngsters. Something has got to give and we need to give the EL a real go.

Here comes the parasite.

Watford signing Boufal will kick off one hell of meltdown on here. I might even join in.

Some of the inclusions suggest the poll was a "pick from this list" thing. People spontaneously suggested Raised by Wolves and Bad Education? Surprised Count Arthur Strong so high but it was one of the few sitcoms recently that actually make physically laugh. Unlike other recent sitcoms I really like - Catastrophe, Toast, Dectectorists, Fleabag - that are pleasant/clever/well written but not actually hilarious.
