That really was embarrassing. I still don't care.

That's nice.

Neymar's little finger and right Kidney would do it.

Not optimistic. My feeling is a relegation battle, anything more I will celebrate. We have the ingredients to do better, but we need something to rally us. 17th.

Considering the number of Engineering Students at Lanchester........ The ex-polys attract a very large number of foreign students, but, in the valuable subjects. You will not find many foreign students taking Media Studies or Travel and Toursim.

Sadly, the youngsters also lack historical perspective and feel. And to celebrate the death of human beings who may have a different political ideology? Wow. Nothing is more breathtaking then the self righteousness, narcissism and arrogance of the modern left. Politics is not a matter of right and wrong, it's 'poles.' Where you stand on things, considering the rights and wrongs which exist on both sides. Such is the nature of life there is no absolute right and wrong. To demonise an alternative perspective is to tread in the footsteps of monsters. The future looks bleak when political debate becomes ideological hatred. That my daughter is growing up in this world is terrifying.

I would consider this to be the main point of discussion with Virgil. However, would Madrid/Barca see taking a player from a club of our stature in comparison to clubs like Liverpool as a gamble?

Nutshell.

Thank you Monk, the scouse meltdown has made my day. Dear any scousers still reading this, f**k you all.

What a bunch of bell-ends #waves to the idiot scousers.#

Presumably this would be a chain of Coutinho to Barca, Van Dijk to Liverpool. If this is for silly money, fine. But why is it always those self righteous, nauseating w*nkers? Their conduct has been a disgrace, that they are now seeing to be getting away with it is utterly disgusting. Van Dijk should be moving on to one of the best clubs in the World, not Liverpool. Especially not under these murky, gutterised circumstances.

Human beings first, football fans second. Thoughts to his family.

Sadly, he did. Good luck to Jay, good to see him starting well at West Brom, he needed the fresh start, it's already seemingly paying off for him.

Relevant to this thread, apparently there are no plans to release a DVD review for last season.

This is the most annoying bit. After your contract ends they jack up the price leaving you to go through the same charade on an annual basis. If it wasn't for Game of Thrones I would just leave it. Havn't really got the time to make the most of it now anyway.

On that note, surprised no-one has mentioned Jonno 'Quick' Forte yet. Purely for that cameo v the franchise, naturally.

Yep, Briskoda are excellent. An extremely good resource when I owned a Fabia mk1 vRS for a time.

Clearly #10

Do you have anyone in mind Hamilton?

There are a few obvious options for a Saints cult hero. Franny, Claus, a certain hero-esque Guernsey-man... But who else stands out for you? A particular player who may not have been the most talented but always stuck in your mind due to commitment to the cause, a few specific moments or just something that you couldn't specifically pinpoint, you just always liked the guy! I'll get the ball rolling with Richard Chaplow. They called him 'The Crab' at Preston North-End. He would only move and pass sideways, yet when he came back to St Mary's in 2010 I was really quite pleased. His appearance, as a sufferer of alopecia was striking, but it was memories of his first loan spell with us in 2005 which came back, thinking of the composed and promising midfielder who came to us briefly to keep us in the championship after 'he who must not be named's' reign. With Morgan and Hammond as his competition for a place he quickly made himself at home. Playing a strong role in our promotion and scoring a wonderful goal against Peterborough (where he ended up in the back of the net after a surging run through the middle to volley in a cross) and his thunderous strike against Manchester United in the FA Cup. He revealed himself to be hot-headed too, and deserved his red card at Barnsley in the Championship for catching an opposing player in the groin with a high foot (his; ‘What did I do?’ expression afterwards was rather priceless.) As we rose up the leagues, Chaplow, like Hammond, Seaborne, Martin, Sharp, Dickson, Harding, Butterfield, Fox and a few more, found himself now out of his depth. A couple of Sub appearances in our first season back in the top flight were his last for us, and he moved onto pastures new. But I always enjoyed watching Chaplow play for us. A bit unconventional, now a little bit forgotten, but very important player for us during one of our best times. Still only 32, and now playing in the American second tier. I look forward to other people’s suggestions.

Sad to see him go, he was so exciting to watch at times. But, one of those transfers where it seems that everyone is a winner.

Franny seems overjoyed.

This feel a lot better then the last time we announced a Mauricio as manager.
