The main positive to me is that Fernandes is on the plane. Perhaps a sign there's a decent chance he's staying...? (or at least no tangible interest in him as things stand)

James Ward-Prowse (my Lord)

Why do people get so triggered by people who get so triggered by Russell Martin...?

Indeed. I know "it was only Eastleigh" but I thought he looked pretty good in that game in particular.

Aren't they in breach of some kind of retail code of conduct there, if not the law? In other words, surely they had an obligation to highlight any additional costs at the point of sale? Ok, so they might argue these are purely optional additional costs, but it's still bad business practice to willfully choose not to disclose such additional costs to prospective clients. Thanks for the heads up though, as I'll be sure to steer clear of TUI in the future given their apparent reluctance to operate as an ethical and customer centric travel business. Feel free to let them know they'll be losing much more than £400 in future business due to you highlighting this to people such as myself. (Although, of course, their shop-floor employees won't care a jot as its "nothing to do with them"...)

I was reading some of their fans' comments after their 1-1 draw in a preseason match Vs Barnsley last week. No prizes for guessing that the goal they conceded was due to the keeper attempting to play out from the back in a dangerous situation. Amusing to see a spate of fan comments along the lines of "at least we're getting those kind of mistakes out of our system before the season starts".... *Chortle*

Indeed. Every political and/or economic philosophy has flaws, as far as someone with my limited intellect can tell. Which is why, as a fence sitter, you'll never find me dogmatically advocating a particular philosophy one way or the other...

I think we'd all vote for utopia if there was evidence that it worked...

Reading that, you can see why some might say* that's why 'Corbynism' is most popular amongst the 'wanting something for nothing' generation.... (* Obviously, I wouldn't say that )

Hmmm.... Tempting... but one fears being ticked off by the forum intelligentsia....

"Championship standard"....

I like the cut of this Still fella's jib... #breathoffreshair

To pass on some advice from the DWP maybe?

Ah, not so good.... Wasn't it a groin injury that kept him out for a significant number of games last season, or is my memory playing tricks on me there? (might have been season before last actually)

Could explain why Downes had to be subbed after 36 minutes... maybe picked up an injury from a rash tackle? As I say, hopefully nothing serious....

And Bazunu not featuring in either game... Can we read anything into that...?

Downes coming off after 36 minutes... Hopefully nothing serious...
