Indeed. I've been saying this for years about most things. We all look for others to blame for anything that happens but we rarely look at personal responsibility. We all vote for ineffectual governments (red and blue).

England v Holland just called off

I bow at the feet of Nicola Cortese

Beat you by 6 seconds....all's fair in live and war... :-)

No argument there...

@JWTelegraph: Surprising willingness of Wenger to spend up to £12m on young winger, but not, as yet, £15m+ on needed defender

@JWTelegraph: Saints eventually received £7m for Gareth Bale, £8m for Walcott..Oxlade-Chamberlain could be £12m within a yr #saintsfc #arsenal

@JWTelegraph: Total fee for Oxlade-Chamberlain - who is at Arsenal's training HQ today - is £12m.big price for player with only Lge1 experience

Incorrect use of full stop mid-sentence, surely?

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
