You thinking of Adrian Mutu, the striker? He was sacked by Chelsea for cocaine use.

They're spot on. Pele has sold out, Brazil should not be spending the amount of money it is on the World Cup when the standard of living is so poor. Yet he's backing it because he's being paid by FIFA as a figure head. Even so I don't think that's the problem - it's the fact he's come out and asked for the protests to stop, no doubt after being told to by his bosses. On a much smaller scale that we can relate to, it's kind of like Le Tissier coming out and asking for the protests against Lowe to stop whilst being given free boxes etc.

Now count the amount of strikers we have at every level.

Just booked a ticket for the Newcastle home game online and for one thing there is a new seat selection system which seems pretty neat, but also when it came to confirm payment there was only a £1 fee for postage - no £1.50 fee per ticket. How long has this been like that?

Congratulations to him. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/harry-isted-signs-pro-deal-1417959.aspx

Just because he hasn't stated all of his objectives in his first interview in the job, doesn't mean he hasn't got any.

I suggest people watch this rather than just read the transcript. It's a lot easier to understand what he's actually saying - the bits about open communication with the fans and showing the fans respect should be interesting to a lot of people.

Other than closing the gap in our revenue streams to sustain the level we want to be playing at - which is clearly still in Europe.

Other than "we had tears in our first conversation", "When Markus passed away in 2010 she was put into a situation she wasn't looking for this early in her life", "the ties to her father and what he meant, and how much he cared about the Saints, has come alive in Katharina", "it's clear that everything she does she's doing with her father in mind".

Good news so far, but I would encourage people to be a bit patient regarding Pochettinos contract - it doesn't run out for a while yet, I doubt they'll even start negotiating until he's in the last 6 months.

Christ. I remember always being told that soldiers ran for miles and miles every day whatever the weather. What an absolute joke. EDIT: having said that, the only actual quote on the "rules" -

Weymouth, it's within a 60 mile radius, close enough surely?

Shame it's only available to those in Southampton.

That's the song that is used for him, but just the chorus cos most people haven't got the brain capacity to remember more than a couple of lines. His name is Jay Rodriguez, he wears the famous red, I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough He scores them with his feet and he scores them with his head, I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough He scores a goal and the Saints go wild, and I just can't seem to get enough of... etc.

6 weeks takes us to mid april, season ends in May.

I wonder how football teams throughout history have ever had success without Nicola Cortese.

Must have missed that, when was this?

Anyone notice the massive bags under the eyes of Lambert just then?

YES ADZ

That's right, focus on the foul by Lallana rather than Gerrard giving the ball away in the first place.

Nutmegged, England career over.

Ouch, wonder what his family think sat there listening to that. Part of me wants to see him come on just to hear the reaction...

How has boy wonder missed that one?

Yep, not many players in the world can win the ball and run 5 yards before being fouled.

I do much prefer the gentle buzz of a sh*t atmosphere like we have right now.
