Give it to Ron

Just as well they dont drug test the perfomers with George on now

Both still writing music ....decomposing

LOL my wife and daughter just said the same thing

First time tonight I have agreed with you...not as if we are short of bands/music in this country to have to listen to that 1D again FFS

Its Ok we have Spice Girls miming later to look forward to ;-)

Just sit back and relax you seem to be looking for some deep Danny Boyle meaning - it for me is just a celebration of self indulgance of Britishness past and present music wise

Hahaha Elizabeth Windsor ‏@Queen_UK There's only One Direction one wants to see these little girls heading and that's the exit. #closingceremony

Then turn over and watch something else FFS no-one is making you watch it

Are you going to be this dim all night? Its a representation of London life

Obviously you did.

Depends what your expectations are and whether the Prem is the be all and end all. Personally I think it will be a tough long slog and we could see a change at the top, however I quite enjoyed the Championship going to games expecting to get a result and bing able to afford to go. Anyone expecting us to be up there competing for Europe after this pre-season may have a few shocks. On the whole most Saints fans are realistic and can see that we haven't yet recruited what we needed. I think we will be Ok this season...just but we will have to learn a few lessons upstairs and realise if you want quality you have to pay and promising youngsters are fine if you mix with quality experienced pro's. Steve Davis aside we are too short of quality and experience to do anything but struggle in midfield. Not one fan disagrees the central defence needs strenthening - that was clear after Coventry yet 7 days away we still have not addressed that. We still have time its a long season and no doubt that Fonte/Jos would of started that game unless we bought someone in at the time we got Rodriguez. Not enjoyed pre-season I hope the season is better.

Not trying to hijack this but a little tip. I have re-seeded the lawn and to keep the birds away I bought one of those cheap little windmill things http://en.onccc.com/productDetail/ENG/137155.html we haven't had a bird in the garden for a week they sit on next door garage roof fluttering but won't come in. Weird we normally get loads woodpeckers, pigeons, blackbirds etc

Lukaku gone to WBA on season long loan - bugger makes them a bit stronger

Me too the little gits have eaten my new turf I paid a fortune for!

What was all that candles to light the way home business? Now if one of mine ever disappeared god forbid I wouldnt be lighting a bloody candle!

Huw Jennings was who I was thinking of.

He had a very bad cancer scare....think that was what made him go back in the end.

I always like Malcolm Elias at Staplewood - he seemed to have the lads respect and knew the game well. I am trying to think of the name of the youth team guy we had here that went off to a job at the FA he seemed really good at his job as well.

Remember our old mate Nineteen Canteen...check out his latest posts...comical. The one at Steve Brookstein was brilliant

Wow thats some negotiating but guess Liverpool are a top draw for sides abroad whereas we are not yet. Can't see us getting anyone near that level for years although we should still be able to get some decent ones in if we can stay up for a few years.

£5m down...cripes that was a good deal then A precocious talent and on Roma's books from a very early age, Aquilani was tasked with filling the void left by Xabi Alonso at Liverpool and moved to Anfield in August 2009 for £20 million, although was soon shifted out on loan to Juventus and then AC Milan.

Ok another example Aquilani at Liverpool they paid loads for him top European player rubbish at Anfield. Its hit and miss and why going British in our situation is why I think we may have that idea...however having said that its obviously not our practise going by bids for Buttner, interest in Lens, that Senegal defender etc

But its a hit and miss I'll give you Delgado, Chala, Arias, If you want British you have to pay the premium - Fletcher at 12m...really? We are looking abroad as well...guess we are all just frustrated and can't do bugger all about it but whinge on here.

Just to add Gazza the new goalie isn't British. When we were in the Prem before I always thought if we had 20 points by Christmas we would be Ok - the season we went down we were way under that. This year that again would be the target I think. I watched Swansea against City at the start of last season and although they played well got well beaten. I am expecting that again for us and anything from 3 of thoe 4 tough games will be a bonus. Its teams like Wigan we really need to beat - draws against them will be the problem as thats what undid us as well in our home games in relegation year.

TBF he did play one half that fantastic Spurs prospect that all their fans were raving about.
