Those umbrellas will make for handy weapons when our top boys turn up.

Evans is awful. I'd rather Yoshida any day over him.

Those scarves are a test. Doesn't matter where you are from or what end you are going in, but if you have a half and half scarf they will ban you from the ground and the Police will deservedly baton charge you straight back to the station.

Thanks Istanbul. That last bit is exactly why back from the game reports are so worthwhile. We can all see the goals or watch a dodgy stream but none of us would be aware of something like that unless we'd read it here.

I had an email straight after the transaction went through.

Queues at the ground are big apparently. They have the fences out to form a zig zag and the queue goes back past the statue.

15 aways. Read it and weep suckers.

We should have a near sell out I'd imagine. After all it's the first game of the season and is dirt cheap.

Anyone going out on the Tuesday? Just noticed Ajax are at home in the Champions League, pity it's not on the Wednesday.

I hadn't noticed this before: Ticket resale scheme The ticket resale scheme will only come into operation once a game has been declared as sold out Upon the Club opening the scheme, you will be able to offer your seat for re-sale using the online ticketing system No guarantee can be given that your seat will be sold If your seat is sold, a credit will be applied to your account which can be redeemed against the cost of your 2016/17 Season Ticket

Shows how little attention I pay to preseason that I only just realised we played yesterday. Nice goals. The weight of pass from Tadic in the last 2 goals was beautiful.

Can the council sell Thornhill? Oh, you said assets. My bad.

No ambition. No other team sells 2 of their best players in one transfer window. Lucky to finish 17th, blah, blah.

Imagine Peppa Pig in the middle of our shirts, then think again.

Even the price of the hotel I was booking for the Thursday in Arnham went up while I was booking it!

Flights booked. One night in Amsterdam, one in Arnham.

Only when he starts coming on at half time, grabbing the mic and geeing the crowd up.

It's his attention to detail in putting out the cones in a straight line, organising the bibs for training and collecting the balls after which has pushed us on to the next level.

For that price Benteke needs to be at least 2.75 times better than Shane Long.

He stands at only 4 foot 6 Jordi, Jordi He won't make many headed flicks Jordi, Jordi He's small, it's true he's not very long He cost three quarters of a $hlong Jordi Clause Southampton's midget man.

That article has one of the worst headlines of all time.

Good stuff Saints.

There is a 10% off voucher for purchases in the club shop with the season tickets, I take it this is a one off 10% rather than the season long discount we had last time? I rarely buy stuff in there but for those who love to kit themselves out in Saints gear it could be mildly irritating.

Makes sense Winner. I like the analogy with Orica Greenedge, we're the plucky up and comers with some good youngsters. Dan Martin had a good ride today. Just not enough left in the tank to catch Majka. Nibali is all over the place which is a surprise at this early stage. The Clinic lot will have been unhappy to see Thomas riding strongly up front deep into the stage. Looks like he's there to stay with the top boys.
