It's a great tribute to Bob Monkhouse though.

This, totally. Sadly it's too much of a sophisticated observation for the media to pick up on.

@WhoScored: Morgan Schneiderlin: Has made a total of 162 tackles and interceptions this season - more than any other player in Europe's top 5 leagues

Who for?

Nah....you're mistaking me for someone who's overtly provocative....

How did that work out?

I'm fully expecting a defeat too....but, there again, I was away at Chelsea too...

My Spurs supporting work colleague is doing the same. I pointed out that we done them a favour last night and he said he'd rather Everton had stuffed us for the way we treated Adkins.

A tad premature to be looking at this game I suppose, but I was prompted by looking at the games that the sides around us have next week, and my conclusion is that I can't see many victories for our fellow "strugglers". So, all in all, we can go into the Utd game with little or no pressure to come away with anything (other than of course the manager no doubt demanding at least a point) Anyway....here's the other games next week and my predictions FWIW.... Aston Villa vs Newcastle : Score draw QPR vs Man City : Away win Stoke vs Wigan : Home win Norwich vs Tottenham : Away win Fulham vs West Ham: Score draw Reading vs Chelsea : Away win All of which would keep us in 15th place even if/when we lose to Utd. Sneak a win and we would be up to 13th with those other results coming in. Yes, I know, getting ahead of myself already....

The No.10 chap we've been linked with from Espanyol maybe? (who's name escapes me momentarily...) Edit: Verdu...that's the fellow

@GraemeBailey: Philippe Coutinho is flattered by Liverpool's interest, but says he is looking to fight for his place at Inter Milan. http://t.co/mozqh0bF Smokescreen...?

@pn_neil_allen: Council still prepared to loan money to help #Pompey Trust bid. Interesting story by @pn_Rory_McKeown http://t.co/FQplojje So, on one hand you've got Neil Allen saying in a recent Webchat: "Forget the parachute payments, they've gone - already allocated to football creditors" and on the other hand you've got the council saying: "it's ok, our loan is protected by the arrival of the parachute payments" Perhaps someone ought to send an email to the council gently remind them of their own terms and conditions when they originally agreed to the loan...

Duplicate post

Makes you wonder why they bother trying to write eye grabbing controversial headlines. Might as well get a buffoon to write them instead.

I would have chosen a less negative word than 'apathy', such as 'pragmatism', but I guess that doesn't sell as many papers...

@Luke_shaw3: Loving the chant for puncheon by the way !!! Hahaha

Tend to agree although they showed glimpses of what they're capable of vs Chelsea

I counted 3 hankies altogether. Anyone beat that?

@kristemple: I can see some "talks" coming up between @bigadamsport & the new #Saintsfc comms chief Julius about local media's role ! #newtofootball

Says who...?

@NabilHassan79: Great moment in press conference. Q) Why did Puncheon leave the pitch? A) "Sometimes with a new manager, players get nervous". #saintsfc
