Of course we will still be scouting locally but our profile and reputation now allows us to be an attractive proposition for talents much further afield. We would be crazy not to take advantage of that. I know a lot of the under 16s quite well and regrettably the club were probably correct in who they kept on and who they released.

Don't read too much in to youth team results. Our ethos is all about producing potential players, NOT about producing great teams/getting great results. Slats is a good prospect but possibly slightly ahead of his natural curve due to pressure being applied on the club by those around him. Certainly wouldn't bank on him "making it" just yet.

What an absolute gent the man is. Would love to see him back at SMS so the fans and myself included can show their appreciation.

ProxyDNS. I have downloaded it and paid for a months trial via PayPal. What do I do now?

I've downloaded this proxy things and it tells me to re-start my browser. I've re-started Firefox and nothing has happened. Any ideas?

You could also argue we have been somewhat out of sorts recently in comparison to our form earlier in the season. We have still ground out a fair few results in that time whilst not playing very well. What's to say we get Toby back along with Morgan and Wanyama together, J-Rod back for the last 6-10 games, Tadic back on form after his rest, find out how to hit the back of the net a bit more often? The other sides around us have picked up their form/results but all are still more than capable of dropping a few points too. I think some people are under-estimating what a fantastic position we are currently in.

No. We have a realistic chance of getting in the top 4 and potentially changing the landscape of English football for the forseeable future by qualifying for the Champs League. We have to give it our best shot. We are currently 4th by merit, not by accident. We may not finish in the top 4 but the players deserve the chance to go for it. Europa League will not be incentive enough for the likes of Morgan and Toby to stay. Champs League might.

Really like it. Team player through and through.

My nephew was meant to be playing in that game but got his first call up to the 18s instead. Apparently Beckham jr put a couple of decent crosses in, other than that he wasn't great. Played right back didn't he?

I'm concerned by his kicking and the fact he's constantly glued to his line. Wish he'd have more confidence when the balls hung up in the penalty area to come and claim. Otherwise, fairly decent and a good platform to build on.

Bought my first ever bike (since I was a kid anyway) today on the Cycle to Work scheme. Went for a hybrid Whyte Shoreditch. Looks nice and understated and has a carbon fork which I am told is something to get excited about... He threw a snazzy blue helmet in for free along with a drinks holder and bottle. Is the bike any good as a place to start? Mainly going to be using it for work which is about 7 miles each way.

Pretty sure Pele was signed well before the Liebherr era. Unless you mean Pelle? Mine are Lambert and Fonte although honourable mention to Kelvin Davis re-signing when West Ham were sniffing about.

Splendid and tremendous. Reed for MoTM for me. Was superb and full of running all game.

Slovenia/Slovakia all the same...!

If Dzeko was available I'd be clammering for us to get him. Top player for what he does. Would suit our system perfectly. Think he would have more glamorous suitors than Swansea and Saints though in fairness.

Hi Ken, how's Graeme?

Mash potato, shed load of butter and mature cheddar cheese, loads of English mustard. That is my best use of mustard at the moment.

Two lesbians. Sisters probably. I'm just watching...

Come on Saints look lively FFS

No guile in centre mid so far. Sheff Utd not exactly playing a deep line. Surprised Mane and Long aren't looking to get on the shoulder of the defender more. As I type Mane gets a booking. Looking more and more like a liability this kid.

Evening all. Any streams knocking about?

Kasabian last night were unbelievable.

Wouldn't be surprised to see some do-gooder start lobbying to outlaw the bouncer now.

4 points from the last two games where the opposition have done nothing but park the bus. Fair play to Villa, they turned it in to a gritty, stop-start affair and got their point. Not going to get too down hearted. We showed good character to get the equaliser in the circumstances.
