Careful. You know "whataboutery" raises Verbal's hackles...

Never any doubt...

Yep, and 'outed' on here as a Saints fans at the time

Didn't realise he ended up at the Echo

Hope you negotiated a good price...

I've got a copy too... I'll happily trade it for a season ticket

@pn_steve_wilson: Juvenile, ultimately pointless but still brilliant. Good work. (Cue torrent of abuse from uptight rival fans)... http://t.co/7sh4DqmsYj

Attention seeker in attracting attention shocker.

Would be a bit of a coup for Glasgow Saint if we signed Muriel

@SouthamptonFC: First training session underway... #preseasonuncovered #saintsfc http://t.co/aZjle1Tkvc

Maybe signing the likes of Wanyama could have a domino effect in attracting players of Osvaldo's calibre?

At least we got into double figures before the first inevitable Tory bashing post

Cheers VMAN. Glasgow, can you confirm this?

...

Yeah, think so. Sunderland are next to QPR. Spurs also missing but they are snuggled behind Liverpool.

Mr Freud would be proud of that one...

I suspect they're busy setting up the press conference for the triple signing announcement of Banega, Damiao and Shaw...

I'm comfortable with the fact that we privatised trains, energy, telephones, etc in the 80s because I could see the rationale in removing the burden of cumbersome loss making industries from the taxpayer's shoulders, but I'm struggling to rationalise the selling off of the Royal Mail as its a profit making organisation (isn't it?) I know this'll turn into a coalition bashing thread before long but it should be remembered that it was originally Mssrs Blair and Mandleson that hatched plans to privatise the Royal Mail. Even Thatcher was dead set against the idea... So, why are we doing it? Is it simply short term thinking to generate national debt reduction funds or is there actually a longer term justification for it? We know that a privatised mail services works in other countries (Germany is often cited as a good example) but I'm with Thatcher on this one: Don't sell.

A bit like Barcelona you mean...?

All good stuff. That article also has a link to this graph which plots 'opposition possession vs own possession'.... http://public.tableausoftware.com/views/TPP/Sheet1?:embed=y&:display_count=no We seem to be in a league of our own when it comes to denying the opposition possession under Pochettino
