Yep...Our first of many rubbish record signings!

Who was Southampton’s first £1m signing?

Dark red and gold?

Henri Camara?

Dexter Blackstock? Although he's quite tall. Or is it not a trick question?

Tadic?

Steve D?

12 minutes? He came on as a sub at half time?

57 minutes?

Kevin Phillips?

Yep

Well. I'll end the torment and pose an alternative ( the answer btw was Gardos). Which Saints player (i.e. at Southampton at the time) was the last to score a World Cup (in the finals, not qualifiers) goal which was decisive in determining the outcome of that match?

nope. you're all wrong.

Nope. Guys - it’s going to be a low number. Can you really imagine us fielding a team in which none of the players from, say, 1 - 15 start the match?

It’s a central defender

OK - this is mega obscure..... In recent times, we have moved away from the good old fashioned numbers 1 to 11, with higher and higher (often random) numbers being assigned to the squad. So, often the keeper isn't No.1, maybe the No.2 is injured etc and the lowest number in the starting is No.3 or higher. In Saints's history, in our starting XI, what has been the highest number on the back of the player's shirt and that player has still been the lowest number of all the Saints players in the starting line up? What was the number and who wore it?

Think I beat Colin by a few seconds there?

Actually, I think it's Antonio in our defeat at West Ham

Mane?

David Prutton?

Once? Luton away 6-0 in a replay? Le Tiss hatrick? Not sure on others.

You're right that the constitution is largely written, it's better described as uncodified than unwritten. The precedent would be for the Queen to select a nominated/accepted deputy (but the Tories don't elect a deputy in the same way as Labour). As Dom Raab is First Secretary , he is likely to be appointed if necessary - rather than just being interim. This assumes the Cabinet signals support for that. The 1992 committee could trigger a leadership election, but I think it unlikely they'd do so in current circumstances - possibly later down the line if the current PM doesn't return to health (or worse).

Under what circumstances do they finish it behind closed doors (but on TV)?

Most teams have 9 matches left? Although far from ideal, I guess this could just about be squeezed into a 3-4 week window if Euro 2020 is cancelled. Those logistics aren't too bad. You might even truncate it if some matches become irrelevant for anythign meaningful beyond actual finishing position (e.g. Saints v Sheff Utd might well be a dead rubber, in which case don't play it). Problem could well be the logisitics in arranging this, not the will. If UK is basically locked down for a couple of months, how bad is the deterioation of pitches, how unfit are the players, how fast can they gear up ticketing, stadium safety etc? The June 30th contracts ending for some players is also a legal minefield - might teams with somethign to play for sign a ringer just for a month etc?

Disappointing, but ending up 14th-ish with a safe gap to the drop zone would still mark a big improvement on the last two seasons,
