Always rubbish at Christmas

I know, S-Clark. I find our keeper selection nonsensical. Like he picks straws every week.

Davis in goal? Wtf? Downgrading my prediction to draw.

Think this is a very mature response. Also canny. Gets the players onside immediately and perhaps creates unity even in the face of criticism from others at the club?

Can definitely see him going as I have suspected for a while now his rise in form is purely 'window-related'. Also suspect he has a high opinion of himself. No evidence, just groundless speculation.

Have always thought he was hugely overrated. And sometimes not even that good.

Boruc was a brilliant move, wasn't he? Would like to see Butland at St Mary's.

Very chuffed for him

This appears to be a bit Championship shopping but he might be alright.

No, no, I said give us an OG, not a BJ!

Fantastic result. Well done saints. Will not kick the cat.

who told you? ps this is a joke

All of which would have been prevented by someone explaining in a slightly larger detail why he was granted compassionate leave. Wouldn't have had to have been much. Just 'illness in family', or whatever. Step forward new communications man. Could have averted all this mongboard speculation/time needed by Adkins to clear things up.

Just the sort of game this board fully expects us to win easily so I'm going for 1-1, then meltdown. Will take that, personally. We just can't lose. That would be a disaster. And I don't want Matt Lucas smiling at the end of the game.

Maybe she doesn't like West Quay

As unsourced rumours go, this is pretty unsourced. Really hope not true but I can't immediately see how problems in Uruguay might be solvable by being in Italy.

maybe if you'd said 'most' it would have prevented people thinking you meant what you wrote exactly.

you kind of did

They probably just went big on the Saint/religious connection

No, but he does follow Bible Scripture. Probably good at crosses.

Defender. Yes please. He's on twitter at @mbesler. Wiki says he is a practicing Catholic. This meaningless information brought to you to cheer your snowy morning.

Well I think he's brilliant. And lifts the standard of passing of those around him. So there.

It's more of a must-not-lose...

But he's not very good, is he? Truth hurts.

I think QPR will win and all the journos will wet their pants with their Harry love even though it will be just because he has promised them all a big bonus, the bloody emperor's new clothes-club crippling twonk. And Reading will win. And I'll win my juicy multiple.
