Another Strachan quote, along the lines of 'I have a yoghurt in the fridge that expires today, so that's my priority at the moment rather than worrying about Delgado.' Delgado really was a waste of money

surely?

well I suppose the question is can you blow photons up your arse? I would argue that if you positioned a mirror at such an angle behind your arse that you reflected the stream of photons up this particular orifice, then they are, in some sense, being blown up your arse. this, I imagine, is what the OP was thinking when he wrote the title of the thread. HTH.

yeah I'm on a different continent....

if she presented the half time relay I definitely wouldn't get a pint at half time...

I tried reading it but I got distracted by the woman on the coral advert.

MLT vs Wimbledon at Dellhurst

Texaco cup match vs Rangers in the mid seventies. Rangers defender knocked the ball back to the keeper from a long way out and it went straight over his head

It has come to pass https://twitter.com/BBCMOTD

bit of a generalisation...

Or the order of the phoenix?

Very good article. He had a good way with words that kept you engaged and, through own research and thinking, produced a piece better than half the **** the daily mail or savage comes up with.

fair play mate. hindsight is a wonderful thing but most of us thought it wouldn't end like this

I caught 'Marvellous' on TV last night and it was excellent. True story about a guy with some learning difficulties. Was Stoke City's kit man for a couple of seasons. Has been running his own football team 'Neil Baldwin FC' at Keele Uni for the past 40 years. Heartwarming stuff. Worth catching on iPlayer if you get a chance

Really enjoyable night out. Emirates is a superb stadium. Saints fans in good voice. Just amazed how good we are and how quickly RK has generated team spirit. It was also a really good game. Arsenal moved the ball around well, but so did we. And we had the better chances. First time that I have seen Matt Targett and he looked very comfortable. Mane is very quick. Looking forward to the next round. RK is taking this seriously and using it as a way of building the team

Lukaku was poor last season playing for Everton, but the season before he was superb for West Brom. I seem to remember that he played down the right so that he was up against Danny Fox. Really not a fair contest and Fox ended up getting himself sent off for one of the latest tackles I remember. Agree with the comment about David James. He was superb playing for the Skates in the cup match in 2010.

Definitely think it's going to be a no. Hope that we can give them more devolution though as there is a majority who want devolution just not a majority who would go for independence.

In my view we have come out of the transfer window in a better place than we were going in, stronger squad, healthier bank balance. Agree with the comment that getting Koeman was the best bit of business done over the summer. Only concern is that a bigger squad may limit the chances of academy players coming through. We only have JWP as a regular team member from the academy now. Good to see Matt Targett get a chance in the LC. But Harry Reed's chances may now be more limited. Not sure who else is even close to getting in the frst team squad

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm sensing dislike for West Ham...

WUM.

What was that all about today? At least the relay provided some amusement with kids falling over, dropping the ball and missing the goal from 6 yards. They should either put on something worth watching or get rid of it altogether. And the numpty with the mike just gets worse. Any suggestions as to what they should do at half time? Bring back the Albion band? Your thoughts

Sadly no away day trip to Fulham this season. I sat in the 'neutrals' section at Craven Cottage last season and to be fair it did seem to work OK. You just accepted that the person sat next to you could be a Fulham supporter, a fellow Saint or a genuine neutral. Going to take a Sunderland supporting friend to the game at SMS in October, and he will sit quietly in the Chapel (insert your own jokes here). But sitting in a neutrals section would make it easier all round. So would a neutrals section at SMS work? Your thoughts

I've been in Uganda for the past month with no phone, news or internet. So my question is, what has happened? Was there the meltdown everyone expected or have we kept some of our players?

It's going to be a bumpy start to the season, as all the new players settle in. We have had the core of the team ripped out, so we need to be patient. Also have a horrible run of fixtures from late November to early January. So my guess is somewhere around 11th to 14th after a slow start. Don't think that we will go down as there are teams that will be much weaker than us, even after all the transfers (Burnley, Hull, Villa, Palace, West Brom)

Given that Chelsea signed him he can't be that bad. We have had an England international left back that united have just paid £27 million for. Whoever we get wont be as good. Give him a chance and see what the next 12 months bring. At least he is not coming to the end of his career Look on the bright side, he can't be any worse than Danny Fox
