Can't do any worse than a lot of the 'straight men' we've had over the last 50 years....surely?

"The prime minister and I danced Gangnam style the other day," Boris Johnson says, adding that Koreans watch the rapper's video on TVs with "aerials made in London". "Every single chocolate Hob Nob in the world is made in London," the mayor proclaims.

Another splendid speech at the Tory party conference just now. Any man that can get "badger hair shaving brushes" into a political speech is a genius. He actually toned down the buffoon 'act' today. If this man isn't prime mininster sometime over the next 10 years I shall weep into my porridge.

Sky Sports on the same hymn sheet.... http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11700/8151642/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Whilst I acknowledge it's likely to be guess work, "up to 6 weeks" sounds better than "at least 6 weeks"

And then there's today's comedy fodder... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/appy-keeping-up-impetus-is-key-1-4345745

Missed Appy's latest musings yesterday. Here they are for the PTS record and for the usual general amusement factor...in summary, it's Appy's usual moans and groans about not being able to improve his squad - you know, the squad that is already more "competitive" than a lot of other League One clubs....Business As Usual in Appy Land then... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/appleton-embarrassed-by-pompey-s-ownership-delay-1-4343196

Yes, there are a few. But they're not very good at concealing it...

Here's hoping there are still a few empty seats. Would be embarrassing if it's full and the Spurs fans start singing the "You're only here to see us" song.

Hmmm... @officialsaints: It's a bad start for Martin Hunter's men as Joshua King tees up Jesse Lingard, whose shot deflects past Artur Boruc for 1-0. #saintsfcu21

@officialsaints: GOAL! MAN UTD U21 1-0 SAINTS U21 (LINGARD 3) #saintsfcu21

Without doubt the funniest line I have read on this forum. Ever.

@officialsaints: Saints U21 substitutes: Britt (GK), Turnbull, Moore, Seidi, Isgrove. #saintsfc #saintsfcu21

@officialsaints: Saints U21 team: Boruc, Young, Stephens, Seabourne, Shaw, Curtis, Chambers, Reeves, Sinclair, Hoskins, De Ridder. #saintsfc #saintsfcu21

Is that a 'best case' 6 weeks or 'worst case'? Cheers

One word: Bugger

@officialsaints: Our players get their first look at Moss Lane #saintsfc #saintsfcu21 http://t.co/89t7OHPR

This puzzled me too when I saw the teamsheet yesterday. I at least expected to see our best keeper (on paper) on the bench. How long does it take for a goalkeeper (that had been training with another prem side and has played in a reserve/ U21 game) to get fit?

Cheers for the heads up. Any chance of Tadinari Lee getting a run out I wonder?

Matt Le Tissier ‏@mattletiss7 Looking for 2 tickets for my parents for west ham saints on 20th oct anyone help? Saints fans? @DavidGoldWHU ? #notroubletheyre68 :-)
