I don't think we've ever been this comfortable in the top division in the time I've been watching, but I can't imagine we had too many relegation worries the year we finished second in the league?

Who was it that we managed to convince Leeds fans they were after last season?

RIP Pat

Would guess that BBC have only just found a source they trust enough to go ahead with the story. Sounds like we're getting our money back at least.

'tis a mathematician's answer. We'll either have below 50%, or above, but not exactly 50%. (Barring changes to rules, or a massive injury crisis that means we can only field 10 from the start)

What if Blatter or Platini someday decides that football would be a better game 12 v 12?

Reckon by the end of the season we'll see a game where we start with Shaw, Chambers, Lallana, Ward-Prowse, Gallagher and Reed to have a starting 11 with over half from the academy.

One of the very best matches I've seen recently, that was fun! Atmosphere was awesome, could have won, Shaw was awesome, everyone put a great performance in! Disappointing Arsenal held on in the end, but would have taken your arm off if offered that result before the game against top of the league with the spine of our team missing! I have no voice.

Draw has opened right up now!

I'd have been more impressed if he'd used 'epicaricacy', but that aside, by my calculations, that makes us the happiest football fans in the world at the moment...

You'll have Old Town Kissimmee just close to where you're staying, which is really good for a 'rest' day. (If you haven't been before, it's surprising how tiring it gets, walking around the theme parks, and rushing to try and get everything in, especially as Florida is a very very warm state. Old Town Kissimmee is much smaller and lets you relax a little) They have the tallest Sky Coaster in the world there, which is awesome, and worth the visit alone to 'get the t-shirt'. (Literally) Sometimes they have classic car rallies there as well, which might be something you're interested in. Boggy Creek is decent, they take you out on a jetboat, which is fun by itself, to try and see crocodiles. We weren't lucky enough to see any, but there was a bald eagle nesting there that we saw. Fast passes are worth considering in the parks. They're expensive, but they mean you're going to get at least 3 or 4 times as many rides in. (At Universal, they won't get you on to the Harry Potter ride. Best way to reduce queueing for that is to get there early when the park opens and head right for it) Other than that, general tips, wear a hat, wear sunscreen, stick to the shade, drink plenty, take advantage of every shop having air conditioning. Losing a day to heat stroke or exaustion is annoying. If you're planning to drive out there, make sure you've read up on the rules of the road. (eg. you can turn right at a red light, unless there's a sign telling you you can't. This means you have to watch out for others deciding you're travelling slow enough to pull out in front of you from the right through a red light) Also, check if there's a satellite launch from Kennedy during your stay there! Either you'll want to go and see it, or you'll want to avoid it because the Centre will be packed that day and you can't really enjoy it. Sorry if any of that seems too obvious! Oh, and last of all, really throw yourself into the holiday, have fun and enjoy it

Aye, at St Mary's though. You have to score five to be confident of winning at the Etihad at the moment!

Safely through. Please not Man City away in the next round!

The fact they'll be winning more games and mounting a promotion push will mean they'll get bigger crowds and therefore more income after they go down as well. At least, that's what they were saying at the start of this season... I'd assume they'll try the same trick again.

Not that it means Shaw will never leave us, but that screenshot is fake. The retweets from the Sky Sports tweet would still be there, and they simply don't exist. All that are there are other accounts that have copied the screenshot.

Not sure where the idea we've hit a glass ceiling already has come from? We're on the back of five years of continuous improvement in league position. Our first team is currently capable of getting results against the best teams in the league. That same squad is among the youngest in the league and likely to improve, and also likely to stick around for a while as they're on long contracts. What seems to have held us back most recently is the lack of depth in squad, rather than the quality of first choice players. Similar investment to what we've already seen could certainly help with the depth problem, and would likely see us carry on improving for a while yet. As far as I can see, until we see otherwise, there's a lot to be optimistic about.

Cheers
