Erm. Isn't this thread about the draw? And Saints? When's it on anyway?

More likely to sign Aled Jones

Sharp deal completes on Monday apparently. For Leicester, obv.

Very pleased. An important win to stop the rot. Don't care what they say about the cup being a distraction. This will be good for momentum and to ease Adkins' pressure.

play normal team and try to get spirit back

Justice was the most popular disallowed name, with royal titles, religious references and punctuation marks among names parents tried to bestow upon children. A child and family psychologist who has even seen children named after illicit drugs says parents need to be more careful about stigmatising their kids. A list provided by the Internal Affairs Department shows 350 parents had the names they chose for their offspring rejected in the 10 years ending June 30, 2011. The list of disallowed names follows the release of the most popular names for 2011 - Liam and Ruby - this week. The most popular rejected name was Justice - 49 people tried to name their child that, along with alternate spellings Justus and Juztice. Royal titles featured heavily - King, Prince, Princess, Knight, Queen, Queen V, Queen Victoria, Lord, Lady, Baron and Duke were all rejected as were Royal, Royale, Majesty and Majesti. Religious references Messiah, Christ, Bishop, Saint and Lucifer didn't make the cut either. Mafia No Fear, Anal, V8, single letters, the Roman numerals I, II, III, punctuation symbols * . and / and titles such as President, Emperor, Chief, Constable, Sargent and General were also rejected. Internal Affairs deputy registrar-general Ross McPherson said no names were banned, but they did have to fall within the bounds of the law. "In general terms, people can register whatever names they like for their children," said Mr McPherson. "However, some rules do apply." Names could not be more than 100 characters, use an unearned title, or be offensive to the general public, he said. "So, one couldn't, for example, register a swear word as a name for their child or couldn't, without adequate justification, register a name of Justice, Colonel or Royal." Names also had to be actual words, not numbers or symbols. Last year it was reported that the name Nevaeh - heaven backwards - had been questioned but ultimately allowed. Now it is the 38th most popular girls' name. In 2008, Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt publicly criticised some parents' choice of names, after he ordered that a Taranaki girl named Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii be taken into court custody so she could change her name. Her name had not been registered in New Zealand, but other names such as Violence, Chardonnay and Number 16 Bus Shelter had been. Fairfax NZ

BBC news report of the goal today said it 'made history'. Then mentioned the other ones. D'oh.

Matt Lee Tissier ahem

Can anyone remember the rules re work permits?

We're rubbish at work permit applications. If I remember correctly. Hope this one goes through.

Weirdest tongue in history.

They're halting building work at Staplewood because we're not playing well? Good grief. What a lack of confidence. What message does that send out to the whole cclub. Idiotic if true. And/or worrying if our finances are that frail. If we spend a few million on this and transfers, we might get £60m by going up. *sighs*

Huh. I'm disgusted that we are still top. DISGUSTED, I tell you. *polishes irony hat*

OK, I'll shut up about it now.

As I said this morning, I had a bad feeling about this one. Maybe not this bad, but bad. Maybe Lambert's showing his frustrations at not being allowed a move?

Bad feeling about this one. Would take a draw.

Why is everyone so sure Lambert won't go to, say, Newcastle?

Unless the player fancies big money and certain prem football, at his time of life...

Lambert to Newcastle even stronger rumor today. Agent just tweeted they're looking at him.

We were very average against Palace.

A barmaid will end up in a Christmas tree in north Baddesley tonight.

Bristols going titts up

We have always been rubbish against rubbish. Always will be.
