Incorrect use of full stop mid-sentence, surely?

This is all very good, but how does this compare to every other team's half time record?

^ This

Source?

Yeah. This.

Humble apologies

The home secretary has returned early from holiday I see.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14442935 ....shouldn't she have waited for Miliband to demand her return? I think she's getting ahead of herself here.

Barry Island

Yep, that works for me too (although replacing Barnard with Doble as Adkins mentioned in his post match interview at the weekend that Barnie wasn't going to start training proper until today or tomorrow at the earliest)

No, he's 17 years, 11 months and 24 days. Yes! In before the MLG. Get in! :-)

Count the Leeds Utd shirt pulls on the match gallery....I make it 5 ! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/Gallery/0,,10280~2412432,00.html

Nutshell

Did I read somewhere a while back that Lambert started out his footballing career as a midfielder but then migrated to a striker? Perhaps he's now playing what is a more natural role for him?

@JWTelegraph: Some Arsenal news; Wenger closing in on Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joel Campbell, will also try for centre-back this week

Ok. Fair dos. You seem to have more facts to hand than I do (I was just going on memory and gut feel.) Out of interest then, which games did Hammond start on the bench (i.e. when he was 100% match fit and not coming back from injury or illness)? Cheers

Nutshell

I tend to disagree. He's Adkins' on pitch captain so he will be the first name on the sheet every week. I was highlighting this last week when the majority of people were leaving him out of their 'starting 11' predictions. I'm sure MLG can confirm that the only time Adkins left him out of the starting 11 last season is when he was injured or ill....

Until I hear that the contract is being chauffeur driven down from North London to the South Coast I won't believe anything. Fact.

Earlier in the week someone posted a semi-gobble-de-gook twitter post by Jaidi that I interpreted as him not being happy with the way Jemal's situation was being handled. 2+2= Jaidi punished for airing his views in public? I'll dig out the post when I get a chance. Could be wrong-end-of-stick territory on my part.

Seabourne? Jaidi?

I'm thinking this would have been lovely in the match reaction thread... ;-)

Done = signed on the dotted line...?

In other words, we've signed someone you wanted to stay where he was? Maybe we offered Seabourne as a make-weight for the deal...hence his omission from the squad today? Who knows....

He posts on twitter a lot
