Hamilton Saint

Boruc Clyne - Fonte - Lovren - Shaw Schneiderlin - Wanyama Rodriguez - Lambert - Lallana Osvaldo

DM says that Norwich is dictating the game so far.

Dangerous free kick. A yard outside area. Bullet shot. Fox deals with it.

DM says we're playing in 4-4-2 formation - but he expects Osvaldo to drop in hole behind Lambert.

Norwich gets a good chance at the beginning. They shoot inches wide.

Well ... here we are, anyway! COYS!

Jeez. Saints Player have the Pompey game on, instead of Saints!

Call yourself a supporter? Jeez.

Saints Player back.

Saints Player went dead a few minutes ago. They are so undependable!

Missing from that list: van Wolfswinkel

No, he isn't. Check out, for example, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Ray Davies, Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman, Richard Thompson - and then get back to me.

He was a very accomplished musician. When audio technology became available for films, he started composing synchronized soundtracks for all of his own features - beginning with City Lights in 1931. And in the late 50s he re-scored his own soundtracks for all of his early silent films.

Yes, The Great Dictator (1940) - Chaplin's first full 'talkie'. Here's another classic scene from that film:

I would expect him to come on in the second half for twenty minutes or so.

Given the "interesting stat" mentioned bu the OP, we must play Shaw in every game, even when he's injured. Otherwise we're doomed.

Three questions (one of which you answer for us); seven assertions (well, one of which you seem unsure of). Lots of ambivalence. What exactly is the point?

Physically or psychologically?

Well, maybe some of you are familiar with Jonathan Richman's song "Pablo Picasso" - covered in the mid-70s by John Cale. A lovely little ditty that went like this: "Well some people try to pick up girls And get called a**holes; This never happened to Pablo Picasso; He could walk down your street And girls could not resist his stare and So Pablo Picasso was never called an a**hole." Just change Pablo Picasso to Pablo Osvaldo. Brilliant. Of course, you'd have to be familiar with the original to get the tune. Worth checking out, eh? So, what do you think? It has that certain je ne sais quois.

'Twould scan better if the second and fourth line in the verse rhymed. How about: Playing on the pitch at Southampton, Not in Italy, Holland or France. The man in the goal said, "What a foot; what a head; You know he didn't even give me a chance; Christ, he makes it look easy; You know the way it will be; The way things are going He's gonna score twenty-three.

Tumescent ask questions like that.

I find this sort of post so annoying. Would it be too much for you to preface your brief statement [well, it's not really a statement, is it, because it's not a complete sentence, and therefore not a complete thought] with a few words that explain your message. For example: "I think that ...", or "I have just heard from X that ...", or "I am making a wild guess that ...", or "Wouldn't it be great if ...", or, "I have just read in Y that ...", etc.

Indeed!

Lovren makes an excellent tackle on Anelka in the box.

Wanyama is "a unit" (?)
