SNSUN

List any key signings here, though clearly White Hart Line is going to experience more personnel changes than a strip club with a pervy manager...

This is true. The emergency loan window opens for League clubs in a week. I can't see anyone wanting Dyer or Euell, so I have a feeling they'll still be here tomorrow. The only player I can see going anywhere is Skacel on loan. We'll see. I'm on holiday today, and usually would be sat at the internet following all the transfer ins and outs, especially as there'll be a few biggies but have got one or two things to do!

The last meal has to be less than $20. But anyway.... I'd say I was a cannibal and ask to eat the man that was to administer the lethal injection. I would also claim that I'd killed someone famous. Just to keep my name in the papers a bit.

I still think we'll do ok this season. We do have strengh in depth, are playing well even if we're not getting the results. Results will come, we just have to be patient.

Had a couple of great saves in the first half. How he got down to his right and kept the Hammill shot out I'll never know. Good agility.

It sickens me that "fans" boo this young team. We lost, but not badly, and they need encouraging not booing.

I only managed to see sixty minutes because I had to come to work, but from what I saw, it wasn't a terrible performance. Lallana had a good game, but should have scored when the ball was cleared off the line. Holmes looks like a good free transfer too, but wasn't getting enough support. Davis made a couple of good saves in the bit I saw, but we were clearly suprised at how well Blackpool played. Burgess was terrorising the defence, and Hammill had a good game. (Well, the 60 minutes I saw anyway!) I still think we look shaky at the back. There's not enough height, and not enough pace in defence. Perry read the game well but looked as if he was struggling to keep up, and while I thought Killer played ok, he wasn't up to speed either. James and Surman were positionless, I suppose this is the problem with attacking full backs. From the rave reviews on here, I was looking forward to seeing Gillet, and while he had some possession and things flowed through him (he was also looking for the ball), nothing seemed to want to go right for him today. Schneiderlin was average, it seemed like he was trying to hard with diagonal balls when he could've played it more simply and kept possession. McGoldrick looks like a good player, some neat touches, but doesn't look hard enough for the ball, though he does use it well when he gets it. White looked poor but this will be a learning curve. Dyer looked good when he came on, and perhaps he'll get White's starting spot in the next game. From what I saw, the game was fairly even. Still, this is a learning curve and I'm not too downhearted.

Full Metal Jacket. Just bought it on DVD, and having said that, I think I'll watch it right now...

Pahars was pretty inspired too, as nobody knew what effect he'd have when signing.

We are perfectly capable of winning this game, and winning it well. We are also perfectly capable of throwing it away. The early signs of the new era are positive, tomorrow we could see how far we've come in a short time. It's only the fourth game of the season, less the two good cup wins, but it would be an awfully nice feeling to be on six points by the time the other CCC teams play tomorrow.

Retard. Chance to offend people. Rizla packet. Chance for a cheap costume. 'Raptor. Dress like a vicious dinosaur. Rum. In addition you can drink it at the party.

Rubbish. Chance for a dress down. Robot. Not Crouch. Russell Brand. Messy hair.

If we win 5-0, I fully expect those particular ladies to turn up on my doorstep and demand some loving. They'll be disappointed though, my missus wouldn't allow it.

Clearly he stands the tough task of winning over some fans, but if the current management think he will add to the squad, then we can only believe them. I don't rate any player until I've seen them play, and at 24, he's now one of the more experienced players in the squad!

I had a very strange dream last night that we would win 5-0 with goals on the 16th, 40th, 62nd, 68th and 89th minutes. Worth a pound bet, d'ya reckon? :-)

Continuing the theme that ex-players come back and haunt us, eh?

I once got a fine for leaving some dog**** on the grass in my local park. This little old lady walked up to the dog do, then up to me and told me she worked for the council and was fining me for befouling the park. (Not me personally...) Now I hold my hands up, she was right to do it, but some other people I know would have just nutted her in the face and walked off. After all, she didn't know my name or address, and I needn't have given it to her. I did, because I got caught red handed (although the dog poo was extremely runny and would have probably soaked into the ground in a matter of seconds - it was raining afterall), but with no-one else around, she was putting herself in a lot of danger, had I been a mentalist. Ok, she was doing her job and wasn't, at that point, a civilian, but there seriously are some busybodies out there with no care for their own safety that would take the government up on this,.

I hope that is the case! Beer gardens, lazy walks down by the river, girls wearing next to nothing...sigh...

No. Though I may do one day.

Because Obama gets the presidency? RACIST! ;-)

Tonight - Work til 11. Friday - Work til 11. Saturday - Work til 11. Sunday - FREEDOM FOR 3 WEEKS!!!! The best time of the year for every Underground staff member is the start of their 3 weeks summer leave. Albeit the summer has been and gone. :-( Still....WOOT! Copius amounts of drinking and looking for a place to live with the missus.

I still think we'll experience a number of lows, especially towards the end of the season when old legs grow weary and young legs take over, but the early signs are very promising.Games like Blackpool on Saturday should be our bread and butter 3 points. Should be...

That's a toughie. So many have done so well. Holmes has proved he's not just come here because he couldn't make the grade at Derby; Gillett has proved height, or lack thereof, doesn't make a bad footballer; McG had proved that, despite seasoned pros like Rasiak, Saga, BWP and John on the books, he can score goals and take his chance when presented it; Killer has proved Lazarus was no fluke; Lallana has proved there is life after Le Tiss, Schneiderlin has proved good players DO want to play for Southampton; Perry has proved age is no barrier for experience, James has proved etc etc etc To narrow it down to 3 would be tough. Killer, Gillett and McG? Who knows...

Good old Saints fans, making an argument out of absolutely everything! ;-) RIP to the driver. Thoughts go out to the family.
