Patrick Bateman

To be honest, I was watching him really closely on purpose - he wasn't horrific, but he was just a bit too flappy for my liking. I'm sure he'll still come good, but I wasn't impressed.

It's all about opinions, but just got home; thought Guly was anonymous today and Boruc pretty bad. No one really stood out for me apart from Morgan and J Rod who I thought both did well. Highlight of my day was getting off the train at Fleet with some gobby Chelsea fans who were probably late 20s and who got picked up in some sh*t old 4x4, by what appeared to be one of their mothers. Losers.

I can see him being loaned back to carry on getting experience this season.

@dimarziotweet Cagliari, c’è l’interesse del Southampton per Astorihttp://fb.me/2n08Rnxc5

I use a MacBook Air for work and at home. It has MS Office on and also for legacy web-based applications that need to run IE, I have an MS VM installed (Parallels Desktop) which I only open up occasionally to do legacy-based tasks (i.e. the ancient timesheet application). I will not go back to a Windows-based laptop for the foreseeable future. This Air is SO quick - it's rammed with applications that run on start-up and it still pastes any Windows-based laptop. If I open my laptop up on a train, it takes me a max of 5 seconds to get in and do what I need. A minute later, the person sat next to me is still waiting for their Windows lump to stabilise and use it. So having been a heavy MS user until 2 years ago, I now won't go back. Windows offers me nothing extra apart from slowness and bugs (and ugly laptops).

Where are they?? When I did the online booking thing several days ago, it looked like "hundreds" of tickets left, not thousands, weird!

haha, I like your thinking!

No they aren't. They are taking that angle on their story to make a point; that is that Southampton are a selling club so he will be sold. But if you read the article properly, they explain why we no longer need to sell and we probably won't sell him. Read it properly, it's a very good, well written article.

FAO J Rod; You can't vote for yourself as man of the match ...

Team marks - I think everyone deserved at least a 7, top performances all round. Puncheon excellent, Morgan excellent, Gaston excellent, Shaw excellent etc etc etc, but my MoTM was Fonte. He has really turned a corner!

Agree! Going out with the in-laws for a curry, then back to watch TV and drink more wines!

If that happens, then, wow! Can't argue with those signings.

Fantastic summary! It is a shame that we have 3 "good" goalies, but not one outstanding one. Having said that, I think Boruc still has a role to play - if he doesn't, we need to move him on and get a replacement in for the rest of the season. Would love Friedel on loan, but that won't happen.

Thanks, that answers my question - I just didn't know if I was missing out on anything else

Perhaps I am missing something, but what is the point of Apple TV? I don't see a need for it at home, at all, but maybe I'm missing the point!? For music, I have a Squeeze Box duet which gets music wirelessly from my NAS, the base unit is connected via optical to my Bose home cinema system (which plays awesome sound for films and music). For films, I have Virgin Media on demand, plus I have hundreds of BluRays and DVDs (I like to collect and keep them to watch again) to choose from. So - I'm either failing to see where Apple TV fits in or, I'm just not target audience?

Agree. Also, one would suggest that Mr Hammond has possibly fed back to Mr Adkins on Buckley's character and attitude now as well and how he'd fit in?

No. I think that yes, when the wardrobe fell from the sky and coated the whole of the east coast of Argentina in tuna flavoured jam, that there was a President who went for a walk in the park, where she stumbled on a Christmas Pudding that was ignited using water from the fish gods of the Pacific and then, De Ridder played according to Mayan prophecy.

I actually don't understand what you're saying? Wagwan = ? Wiv = with? This = This Homes = ? Therefore it makes absolutely no sense to me what-so-ever.

Yep, in the Metro in the morning train commute and the Evening Standard on the way home. I have no idea who he is, which probably means we'll sign him, but I totally forgot it was mentioned in there.

You smoke? Aren't you about 4??

loooooooooool

We have engineered wood in our current house. It's okay, scratches easily. I had laminate in my first house and I wouldn't have any of it again - Once we move in, house we're buying will be carpeted in the right rooms (i.e. lounge, dining room and study) and everywhere else I intend to tile (hallway, family room, kitchen/diner). I think that's a good balance.

He's a fantastic player who is at the moment short on confidence. Nige, being the confidence builder he is would do wonders with him. And yes, he would walk in to our team, but I severely doubt we could afford his wages. A massive yes please from me if it were possible!!

Okay, I'll offer a different opinion. Watch it, watch it closely. It's NOT a headbutt, it's him forcing his head marginally in to the guy's head and he drops like a sack of sh*t before there's real contact - watch it!! Shawcross was trying to play the game, falling down and looks like a complete woofter. I wouldn't like to see any ban at all.

Very good point - I hadn't thought of it like that!
