VVD coming on then.

Mental. Was blatantly a foul on Long.

"I think the British do best when they apply a little starch to their upper lips" Does he actually realise what century this is?

All you need to know about Rees-Mogg... https://www.facebook.com/hazad31/videos/10155105290707017/

Personally I would be very happy if he became the next Tory leader. As if May isn't already doing a good enough job of convincing people how hopelessly out of touch with reality they are, this guy would take it to a whole new level.

Done. This one was much less clumsily put together than the last one, and I was happy to complete it. Good luck with your project.

That's because you're only a registered user and not a paid-up full member.

Going to Spurs for £38m according to SSN

Given 'Arry's prior reputation of being able to demotivate and ruin our youth players, I can't help but feel this is a very bad move for him and for us.

Not seen any of the post match interviews yet, but I already know that Bilic will be raging about the ref. Lee Mason is usually pretty awful, but the only major decision he got wrong today was not sending off Noble as well.

Just seen the first half highlights. How can Arnautovic have the nerve to complain about the red card. He knew exactly what he was doing. Eyes on Stephens instead of on the ball. Cynical and blatant. The Tadic one was clumsy but not intentional so yellow was probably the right call. And Noble never seems to get penalised for those awful tackles.

Really, it's so unlike you to jump to prejudiced conclusions before the facts are released... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-40930898 "The driver of the BMW was arrested after the vehicle rammed the terrace of the cafe in Sept-Sorts, near the town of La Ferté-sous-Jouarre. An interior ministry spokesman told the BBC the driver was 32 and French. While his actions are said to have been deliberate, the incident is not being treated as a terror attack. Authorities said the driver had tried to kill himself on Sunday. It appears he had no previous criminal record. According to RTL radio, he told police he had weapons in the car."

I just watched the documentary on BBC2 about the assassination of Kim Jong Nam, simply because Kim Jong Un was paranoid about the idea that, as the eldest (though illegitimate) son of Kim Jong Il, he could pose a threat to the solidity of his leadership. Fascinating insight into a truly horrific ruling regime. Also, I decided today to do a little reading into the history of Korea, and more specifically the Korean war in the early 50s that split the country into the two states, as I realise I know very little about it other than it being mainly a front for the wider conflict between the US and the Soviet Union. It's actually little wonder that NK hates America so much to this day, given that the USAF pretty much flattened the entire country with its bombing campaign.

Didn't come across on the TV feed. Sounded deathly quiet most of the time on the stream I watched.

Got to hand it to Swansea. They were utterly useless as an attacking force but they kept their shape at the back and defended very well. Kept our players most likely to score quiet and gambled on the rest being as profligate as they were last season. Seems like they did their homework on us. Overall though, I thought we were much more adventurous and entertaining than we were for most of last season, so I'm not downhearted by the performance at all.

3 now!

Burnley winning 2-0 at Chelsea!

Crap referee. That's never, ever a yellow for Romeu.

How is that not a foul on Tadic?

Well there has been more positive attacking intent from Saints in the first 20 mins here than there was for most of last season at SMS. Great start.

Dear Virgil Van Dijk So, you've finally come out and shown your true colours in public then (although judging by the wording of the statement, I seriously doubt you wrote it yourself). Of course, you are just the innocent victim in all this, aren't you. I mean, what sort of awful employer would reward your good work with an improved and extended contract, with a handsome signing fee, and giving you the captaincy. what absolute assholes Saints FC must be to do that. So you've been in pain and anguish over this horrible treatment, while getting paid an already ridiculous salary while not having to do any work at all for the last six months. Oh what a crying shame. really, my heart bleeds for you. I mean, you earn far more money than most of us fans will ever dream of. The money that exists in football now means that you and your fellow PL pros live in a completely different universe from the rest of us. All because you have a bit of talent for kicking a leather ball around. But apparently that's not good enough for you now. You are so sad and desperate to leave us for greener pastures, despite the fact that the club have not received a single bid for you from another employer as yet. I wonder how that could have happened? You broke the rules of the league when you decide to go and meet with another potential suitor. Now you may not have realised that it was against the rules, in which case you're an idiot. Or perhaps you did know, but didn't care, in which case you're just a c*nt. When you signed that contract last year, you waived certain rights, such as the right to demand whatever move away you wanted. You may have a bloated sense of your own importance, but you are in actual fact just an asset of Southampton FC, and with the number of years remaining on your contract that you were very happy to sign, that means the club holds all the aces here. If you think your little sob story and transfer request changes anything then you are seriously mistaken. If the club do not received a bid from another club that matches it's valuation of your services, then they don't have to agree to anything. I'm so very sorry if you don't like that. As a longtime fan of Saints, through thick and thin, may I express to you what most of our fans are now thinking - that you please just F*** off and stick your self pity up your a*se, you greedy, self-important pr*ck.

What should he do? He should f***ing well knuckle down and get on with doing the job that he gets paid an already very handsome salary to do, that's what. Some of you lot are a right precious bunch, honestly. A 100-page long thread, containing mostly abuse and lines such as "f*** him - let the c**t rot in the reserves, get rid of the disloyal judas". It's embarrassing. He is still a Saints player and we have nothing but rumour and speculation about him demanding a move. Not a single direct quote from the player himself. We all knew he was too good for us within weeks of him signing. It was inevitable that he would leave at some point, so why is anybody even surprised? As long as he puts in some decent performances and doesn't just coast through the season like Wanyama did in his last year with us, then I'm absolutely fine with him staying if he helps us win some games. That's all that really matters.

Oh please, oh please. That would be soooo sweet!

Yeah this for me too. The sheer nonchalance of it, as if he was just messing around on the training ground. He was almost insulting the Wimbledon players with it. You would never see somebody attempting that in the PL these days.
