Frances O'Grady (TUC general secretary) was just interviewed on 'Sunday Politics'. Andrew Neil kept asking if various Thatcher initiatives to curb union powers were wrong (banning secret ballots, removal of closed shops, etc) and she declined to answer instead saying that "looking back to how the unions operated in the 1970s doesn't help the debate today"....and then spent the rest of the interview harking back to the Thatcher era to explain why the country is "in such a state" now. Cake for Mrs O'Grady please.... She'd very much like to eat it... Permission to 'carry on' please Barry...

That's why I tend to abstain on 'black and white' polls such as this. If the poll question had been: "Despite the way it was handled, do you have a hunch that Cortese has made the right decision here?" my answer would have been "yes".

Man Utd win and Newcastle/Sunderland draw for me please.

If/when we're mathematically safe I'd like to see how we look with Ramirez sitting in the middle behind our two quickest forwards (Rodriquez and Mayuka) running onto his through balls.

Yeah, but its much easier to criticise players (and managers and chairmen...) and then declare "I'm glad I was proved wrong" if/when they come good...

Ignoring the dodgy free kicks, Gaston had a good game yesterday IMO.

Agree with this

As much as I hate to have to correct the Daily Mail, this wasn't the first "fan owned" game. The club is still owned by the administrator.

Another score draw I reckon

@SouthamptonFC: Hooiveld:"I think it was a great tackle. It was on the ball and not with a stretched leg, so I was a bit disappointed about that." #saintsfc

What the the pitch invasion for? Did someone pay a creditor or was it some other miraculous event...?

Apart from the free kick malarkey I thought Gaston had a good game
