The Cat

Hugely. The best thing about it is Lynch and Frost directing and writing every episode. It's one of the rare occassions when something that will be massively hyped deserves it. As far as I'm concerned it's still the best tv show of all time, even the second series when the Americans fell out of love with it is supreme. This show paved the way for tv drama as it is now. It showed that there was room in the schedule for the best writers, producers, directors and actors to move away from film and make risk taking, bizarre, sublime television where storylines could be interwoven over a long period to stunning effect. I wonder how Annie is?

Which we probably already do. All interviews with club staff strongly suggest that is the case.

What will happen is that, like every football club in the country, we'll buy some players and sell some players while the fans will still turn up week in week out to watch the team.

I'm very much enjoying a bit of Lydia Ainsworth at the moment. Debut album out soon. [video=youtube;AgAWdI-l25Q]

I like Bush Hall. Went to see The Aliens there 5 years or so ago, they finished the set by lobbing hundreds of glow sticks into the crowd which were then thrown about through the encore. Childhood at the Joiners tonight. First time I've been down there in a long while. Heads up for anyone that likes Sleaford Mods, they've just been booked to play there in March.

I was in the front couple of rows of the Archers to the right of the goal. Everyone around us certainly thought it was a goal. On the flip side does anyone remember Dean Hammond's scruffy near post header away at Northampton in the cup which was given but definitely didn't go in? So it's true, these thinga do even themselves out even if it does take 10 years or so.

Something to do with Tadic and Graziano being magic? I couldn't understand what the rest of the words were, or the tune it was meant to be to either.

He threw himself to the floor just in front of us in first half down by the corner flag. Everyone around us was laughing at him. I hate diving. All that will happen is refs will wise up to him and then at some point when he does get clattered in the box he will get booked for simulation instead of being awarded a penalty. And it will serve the cheat right.

New contract, release clause for an amount Saints believe he's worth. Player happy at increase in wages and deal that lets him leave, Saints happy they keep their best player for a bit longer. Fat cigars all round. Well done Les.

Another 0-0 away drab fest, this time at York. Add that to last week's jaunt up to Hartlepool and it's somewhere around 1200 miles of travelling to witness their team fumbling desperately around the box like a sex starved Avram Grant on his first visit to Horton Heath.

They barely sing anyway. Last time I went there (season before last, when Bale scored near the end) it was criminally silent for long periods. Do they still have song sheets in the matchday programme?

Is there any footage of this violence or is it another part of the story exaggerated to make better press and get people talking about Top Gear? FWIW I don't like cars or Clarkson so unsurprisingly don't watch Top Gear. I also never buy Murdoch newspapers. The only time I come across him is when people are wittering on about him here.

To the tune of Drain You by Nirvana: Ron Koeman to his brother said come work here with me I don't care that our squad has gone we'll sign a new one It is now our duty to completely thrash you With Tadic, Mane, Pelle, Bertrand and Alderweirald. We are Southampton We are moving onwards We are Southampton The boys from St Mary's We love you. If that isn't sung on Sunday I'm never going to a game again in protest.

He stands at over 6 foot 3, Jose Jose He took us to the Premier League, Jose Jose He gets the ball without a foul He wears the shirt of Ken Monkou Jose Fonte Southampton's centre back.

That numberplate, which I didn't think would be censored, was PI55 PFC. The censorship on this board is a ****ing ****ty ****ing ********.

Just remembered I saw a car with the numberplate **** PFC leaving the Police HQ on Hamble Lane the other day. Either one of our fans is going the extra mile to troll them, or one of theirs is showing support in a fairly misguided way.

Aren't you married?

Maybe we'll sign one of Feyenoord's to replace him. I like the sound of Fred Zwang, which coincidentally is exactly the noise made inside Rodriguez's knee when he did his ACL.

Put one on a plate for Sterling who is having a shocker tonight.

From the replay behind it looked like it came off Skrtel then Lovren's butt. No matter because Lallana's on to save the game for them.

Great save from Mignolet after Lovren had arsed it towards his goal but no chance with the rebound.

So I broached the subject of David Connolly with Scott Bevan earlier after we'd discussed Pompey's plucky 0-0 draw at Hartlepool and their failure to hit the back of the net. His reply: "that's one conversation I'm definitely not getting involved in."

Haha, that was a genuine phone based typo.

There's always 200+ people viewing. I guess most of those are different Saint Richmong logins.

Must have been one of the posts his son wrote.
