So... Do I invite you or not?

I would like to invite you two gentlemen for tea and cucumber sandwiches. Or a scone if you prefer. As for you, you shan't receive an invitation. Oh go on then. But no clotted cream or strawberry jam for you. Sitting on the fence implies I can't choose between two things. I've made a choice. Top half as opposed to bottom half. I can't remember a league as strong as this so I just want to enjoy it for what it is, it's a massive bonus not to be playing the likes of Rochdale and Wycombe again. I would like it if at one stage during the season we make a challenge for the play-offs, because at some point or another, a load of teams do that. Last season Leeds, the Skates, Derby, Hull, Millwall, Watford and Burnley all had a go at it. It'll be similar this year.

I would like to think we'll see a signing announced next week. That'd be nice.

I'm quite happy to just watch and see how it turns out really. Top half finish would be nice.

Leicester have had a bid accepted by Peterborough for CMS. There's just no stopping them at the moment!

I'm equally sceptical, but I'm going to make an effort to investigate. It's strange, I'm not a massive fan of eggs, but wrap them in sausage meat and a few orange breadcrumbs and you've got a winning combination.

Hello! I'm currently restoring a 1963 Lambretta J Range Starstream and have encountered difficulty removing the clutch plates. I'm told I need a specialist tool but the one I bought recently wasn't the correct type. I'm in a crappy situation with it all at the moment, the kick start gear is missing nearly all its teeth and it's a rare model, so I'm unlikely to ever find a replacement. Luckily someone in my family said he can manufacture a new part, but I've yet to get to it owing to this stupid clutch plate casing. Any Lambretta men out there that can advise? I've had enough of the thing, I got ripped off when I bought it and its been nothing but trouble, so I'm looking to get it running and then sell it.

Yay or nay? Personally, yay. Although it depends on size, for me it has to be snack size and not the full egg kind of size - the one that Keith from the Office is famous for eating whilst talking about orgasms. Also, I'm not a fan of the gas that is released when you break through the sausage and breadcrumb shell.

Just seen on Twitter that Skates vs Millwall has been 'moved'. I recommend moving it to Switzerland. Nice and non-violent.

Anywhere! Adu - classic.

Fell out of favour under Pardew. Anyway, Adkins and Cortese are doing a better job of keeping things quiet than United. Here's their new goalkeeper David De Gea evading the blanket that was meant to conceal his entrance from photographers

Love it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/1472003.stm Saints 'line up Bierhoff' Germany striker Oliver Bierhoff could be set for a shock move to Southampton. The AC Milan star is said to be having talks with the Premiership side, according to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport. The newspaper said Bierhoff met a Southampton representative on Thursday evening. The 33-year-old 's chances at Milan look limited since the arrival of strikers Filippo Inzaghi and Javi Moreno. Future plans He has not been included in the Milan squad which will face Turkey's Besiktas in a friendly in Istanbul on Saturday. After an active summer in the transfer market Milan are looking to part with some of the players who do not feature in Turkish coach Fatih Terim's plans. Bierhoff has also recently been linked with French first division Olympique Marseille.

I tip my hat to you sir. Funny stuff.

If you're going to start categorising people based upon what they say on this forum, then allow me to return the favour. There are some who believe that they MUST comment on everyone else's posts, believing their own opinion to be more valid and 100% correct. A wise man once said; 'No one likes a smart arse'. He was quite right. So to round up, David McGoldrick is one of the worst players I have ever seen and you are a trifling bore. Let that be the end of the matter, because quite frankly, you've taken up enough of my valuable time. I bid you all good night. I prefer what you said before. He's just plain ****e.

Don't waste your time. Apparently his opinion is the be all and end all. Opinions that differ are 'odd'.

Point out to me where I said there wasn't. No wait, don't bother. I've grown very tired of you. No it's not.

Nice editing there.

Not in relation to us trying to sign him, I believe it was after a league game. Possibly when we won 1 - 0 in our last meeting at SMS. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/sport/article-17134286-saints-look-at-mido-race-row.do

Oh for Cod's sake.

Yep, remember that one well. Then there was all the crap we were linked with under Redknapp. Vincent Candela, Abel Xavier, Mido (who later accused us of being racist).

For someone obsessed with detail, you've overlooked the possibility that I've seen a lot of bad players in my time. After all, I said ONE of the worst players I've ever seen. He could be one of a large number. You'd be wrong anyway. This post sums it up for me really. And while I'm here... I find that hard to believe. You having a different opinion to me does not make mine nonsense. A lot of people find you unbearable (I'm starting to agree), but you disagree. Does that make your opinion nonsense? Just to clarify:

Now now. All clubs have a Czech-ered past.

Struggling to think of any. I mean, there was my mate Ali at secondary school. Kept skying it over the fence. But that's another story.

From the sublime to the ridiculous. What's yours? Sublime - Jon Dahl Tomasson back in 2002 or so. Ridiculous - Carsten Jancker. We even got it on the BBC's January transfer window special. Although there was that wind up merchant (Was his name Tommac? I can't remember) who suggested his interested takeover group wanted to get Henrik Larsson down here. Oh and there was Jan Koller once or twice.
