Or it could turn out better. We just don't know. (having been a Saints fan for 40 years, I suspect that last season is as good as it's going to get for another 10 years or so to be honest, though maybe we'll scrape into the final stages of the Europa league and win it while finishing 16th in the prem - I'd be happy with that)

Watched this this morning - it's 2 hours long but worth a watch and backs up my theory that rather than a massive conspiracy we actually live primarily in the world of unintended consequences... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3NIXAxt2MQ&feature=youtu.be Adam Curtis - Bitter Lake

To be fair to the BBC, they somehow managed to find the black & female version of Patrick Moore to do the new Sky at Night. She's miles better than that drink of water that they were lining up to take over from the big man as well. yes I am a nerd

Happy with this. First 5 games will be season defining as we could be top, or we could have a mare and spend months crapping ourselves like Dalek! Fixtures are released to the clubs and bookies at 8am btw - I was at a Premier League club on Monday and they confirmed they get them an hour early so not a massive surprise on some of the leaks.

Infraction for mentioning Branf**t

A long time ago I doorstepped Ken Monkou at Sheffield Wednesday to get him to sign a birthday card for my mum as she loved him. He took it from me, went into the dressing room and got the entire team to sign it. Love that the club still has this mentality (or has it again)

Come on!!!!!!!!

I can't live through Ian Branfoot 2!!!

I have just upgraded my fast RWD car to an even faster RWD car (different version of same one) and 360ing it on the B3000 at 30 miles an hour. yes. this

ha ha - i did actually laugh out loud

“But if your club management record includes an almost 50% loss rate – even though you managed Celtic who could win 75% of their games if they were managed by Nick Clegg – then you’re going to struggle.” ha ha

BBC has it's new producer. That is burnt gold

Ahh, you've consultant that world renowned expert on terrorism, your Turkish hairdresser. Case closed. What does he think about Toby - going to spurs? It's suicide by the look of it, not the first time this has happened either. Poor buggers on the plane must have had a hellish few minutes given the captain was banging on the door trying to get back in - really doesn't bare thinking about :-(

more sinister than deliberately crashing a plane full of people? Confused. You do wonder if they could change the door system to allow them to have this magic invention called a key, and then allow the flight crew to have the plane keys. That just sounds like extra cost I suppose

Man U need exactly him...

this so far is my thread of the year :-)

I've just realised Dalek that you have been on a 12 year troll just to deliver that line. top work ;-)

I think if anybody decides we should replace Koeman / have a real issue with him (and I suspect it's top trolling), that they should buy some videos of old Saints teams under Poortvelt, Wigley, Stuart Gray and dare I say it, Branfoot... Our final 3rd play was poor - no confidence to shoot. At the back we were ok again with the exception of the 2nd. Shooting practice all week I think.

It has, and Derek the guitarist is the new landlord! Stories like this give me renewed optimism for the future...

I want a cut

I own one. Some of the guys I've had on the books have been great. Some have been absolute lying shysters (and if they are lying to you, they're lying to everyone - one of them lied about making placements and then had to leave when it turned out they'd made it up - they didn't get paid until the invoice was paid anyway so god knows why they did it). Anyway, if you can find a good agent then in my experience they can make a difference but go by recommendation if you can. My company is in digital recruitment - web blah, so probably can't help - sorry

Ed Balls. Seriously. Triffic triffic player, will make all the difference to QPR's season. triffic, twitch...

You could argue it's a failure of the state to use the tax revenue to prevent terrorism. Not sure I agree with that but I can see the logic in it given the amount ****ed up the wall on non working equipment and failed IT contracts
