In fairly recent years, although not the last few, the Skates. The 4-1 and 2-2 still annoy me. Should have won both.

I kind of assumed it was a bit more imaginative than just replacing one tiny segment....alas no.

What’s the lyrics to the Hasenhüttl/Last Xmas song?

Phew. A wave of optimism at last. Just need to keep this run going as long as possible. God knows when we last won 3 in a row?

Sounds a bit like the reintroduction of the late, unlamented, Intertoto Cup.

Same as last year, give or take a tiny %

Game over

Grrrrr

Is it likely to be on Tue 28th?

I always find it odd that when "underpaid and vital" jobs are listed, it always tends to be nurses and firemen, never sewage workers. But surely, having decent sanitation and a clean water supply is pretty damned vital? As others have said, salaries don't hinge merely on how "important" we consider a job to be, but crucially on how many people are able to carry out the task. If there are many millions of people who can, in theory, become nurses, this will mean nursing salaries aren't particularly high. Brain surgeons and top-flight footballers will be paid more - very few people are able to carry out the tasks needed for the job. If we started paying nurses £1mpa, we would - unsurprisingly - get way, way more applications to be a nurse than we need. The current system (basically letting the market sets wages) means people are incentivised to go and take jobs which are appropriate to their skills and where their unique skills are most highly valued by others.

This is total nonsense, really. It assumes attendance at home games only affects income. In fact, if your attendance is zero for every match, this is likely to be reflective of a wider problem. I'm pretty sure that if our average attendance last season was zero, we would have been relegated. That would have cost Saints tens of millions.

Not buying the "big 6-small 14" concept myself. 1. You have the tedious beast that is Everton. They are as close to a nailed on 7th every season as you could get. They are in the "probably get Europa League, definitely won't gte relegated" category. 2. I think Leicester are probably in that range too. Am not saying it's them and Everton in the top 8 as a nailed on guarantee, but I'd be surprised if they are in a relegation scrap.. 3. Something you can't see coming always upsets the established order. Obviously, Leicester winning the league at 5,000/1 was the extreme end. But something weird always happens. Burnley coming 7th last season and getting into Europe was hardly a mainstream prediction. Also, sometimes one of the big 6 implode - didnt Chelski finish tenth the season after they won the league (behind us?)

I'm going to bow to the praise on here. I must have simply missed something. I thought he was okay, but he didn't dazzle me. I was also expecting more bullet headers, seemed to me to nod the ball away sometimes. Ings and Redmond were the two who impressed me most. Romeu looked good in 442 as well.

Four Four Two magazine has us finishing 15th

This Saints team look terrific.

3 0 now Hey ho

2 0 Lawrence again

Comedy defending by Vestergaard, slides and misses the ball and man completely. Lawrence gets in one on one and scores.

1 down

Vestegaard on

Bit better in the last ten or fifteen mins of the half.

This is pretty dire. Mainly Derby pressure and only one half chance for us, which Redmond ballooned.

"In and around". Probably the most irritating and stupid phrase in football ever.

Blimey, think that would have been a great read but for the record-breaking number of typos in a single blog!
