Calm yourselves

It appears the club are finalists in the Employee Engagement Awards, and the Gala Dinner is a Wembley in January

TFG lights blue touch paper and retreats slowly

Miserable evening

Traffic was awful and missed the Mane goal

Left early, along with a load of people

Abject performance

What is wrong with Big Vic? Switched off methinks

In like Flynn

Sad for any player

Need to drop him from my fantasy football team now

Preston Road

Big Vic was epic

Thought the second half was slow and loved it when Fonte shouted at Mane to head forward rather than passing back so often

And hat was going on with them having 2 number 10s on the field?

Wonderous Stories was one of the first songs I can remember getting into, and now years later I still am into progressive rock, although these days it tends to be a bit heavier

The law on rights is now 2 years when companies can dismiss without cause, however notice has to be paid

Dismissal without notice is usually only in the case of gross misconduct, and that would require the full implementation of the disciplinary procedure (i.e - investigation, disciplinary meeting with due notice and the right of accompaniment, and an appeal procedure). It sounds like this was not followed in this case

Failure to follow this would usually mean that one could sue for wrongful dismissal at least, but the basic award would only be notice, but there is a cost of issuing proceedings. At best, unfair dismissal might be claimed, but harder to make stick.

Therefore, the best course of action is the internal procedure

Very impressed with him today

Full of running, not scared of having the ball and skilful

A real talent

I was amazing in the first half that Swansea did not want the ball

We were pulling 20 passes together and they did not get beyond 4

However, no excuse for not scoring

Thought Harrison Reed was the real deal - my MOTM

Fonte makes it look easy

Personally, my idea of a living hell

Hope he reads this and gets back there to talk soon

Three spring to mind

Oslo - they have the whole work life balance sorted

Stockholm - beautiful walking city

Rome - so much history,

Pick one - hmmmm - got to be Rome because of the whole Catholic thing

Saints legend!

I have not seen Frozen

Drink fresh orange juice in the main square - cheap and refreshing

Choose one stand and go to that every time

Try to get out of the city for at least one day trip

Music

I will happily leave any number of classical music CDs on for hours

But anything of mine gets 3 seconds, if I am lucky

GKP

Just being played by the market due to uncertainty over the timing of the bond issue

Personally, I am in for the long haul, but then again it is a roller coaster ride

Currently £200k underwater, so no way I would sell

Took a bath on GKP last week, not sitting on a £180k paper loss

But, does not mean anything unless I sell, and I won't be doing that as I believe it will come good in the end

Not with standing my long term play on GKP, I continue to invest although the bargains that were around 2-3 years ago have mostly gone

At the moment, I am watching Centrica and BG Group both of which look over sold

I want a cup this year

Strongest team out

I was mortgage free by 38

The easiest way for me was to pay a fixed amount each month regardless of what the bank thought the monthly amount should be

Think with your heart rather than your head

Would you like a trip to Wembley to see the Saints win the FA Cup?

Hell yes!!!

I am still going strong

I have added to various shares and tidied the portfolio up between the ISAs, SIPPs and the dealing account

However, my big play remains Gulf Keystone, and now I have 150,000 shares (reducing my average to 214p in the process)

At the moment, I am on a £70k paper loss, but it was as high as £120k, and yet at the beginning of September I was in profit

I am still looking at a 3 to 5 year time horizon so am fairly relaxed, although I do not think I will be buying any more

My big wins at present include Vodafone, Persimmon and GKN
