Lambert, with Schneiderlin a close second. Both instrumental in getting us where we are, and both looking the part at this level.

Entirely predictable. The credibility of the investigating officer is shot to pieces. If bookies were offering a released on bail and acquitted double I would lumped a few quid on.

Nursling. On the Romsey Road opposite Horns Drove junction.

The Horns have it on. Decent food, beer and a half decent barmaid too.

PM'd Mediation has been mentioned. It can work but is far from ideal for everyone. I'll gladly talk you through the options.

The differences are minor. See http://m.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/17/gay-marriage-civil-partnerships Gay and mixed sex marriage remains different in that gay couples will not marry to the exclusion of all others. Imo that's one of the cornerstones of marriage. To those calling for mixed sex civil partnership. How would you propose that to a prospective life time partner rather than marriage? I can't imagine the line "we could marry but that obligates monogamy and the rest of our lives is a long time so how about civil partnership instead?" would go down too well.

Not surprising aftter the George Boyd fiasco. Poison chalice job is that one.

I think my app on the phone makes me "Online" even when I'm not. If I'm right then that may explain the high numbers.

I don't think that there's any prospect of Gaston playing anywhere bar the 10 position under MP. If fit, he'll play there in every game. I reckin Adkins benching of Gaston, and his playing him "out of position", were the beginning of the end for him. It's the wide area where any shock will come. MP likes to blood youth and Cortese expects that. Our squad (bench in particular) will evolve throughout the season imo. Chambers, Reeves, Stephens, JWP and perhaps someone from leftfield will come to the fore.

Has be been around since Adkins and his merry men were kicked out?

They didn't go. Guly is out though. No chance Gaston will play wide. Our options are limited and I think MP will have realized in Spain that some fringe players just aren't good enough.

Chambers or Reeves I reckon.

From who? I can't see anything and follow just about every journo, and anything with #saintsfc.

Think it will be Reeves. Curveball would be Punch with Chambers on the right, or Clyne pushed forward.

I expect so. Parts will doubtless be stupidly expensive too. The missus has one and I'd never buy another. I had a high mileage Alfa for 6 years. I've spent more money on a low mileage Mini in 3 months than I spent on the Alfa during my entire ownership.

Looks weird. Kind of Mini meets Range Rover Evoque.

Spot on.

I have no opinion on whether Cortese has an ego problem. That's the issue with MLT. None of us know Cortese's actual ambitions and goals. His ambition under Adkins appeared to be promotion. Who knows what it is under MP. Why compare Cortese and Piers Morgan?!? One is a media whore who has spent his working life in the public domain and can expect to be judged, the other hasn't.

Nonsense. You can't judge a persons motivations, ambitions, ethos, rationale, etc etc without knowing or understanding them. MLT doesn't know cortese. I don't, you don't and nor do others on here. We all make snap judgements though. They're all based on the decisions that we know of, and the tittle tattle we here. MLT is no better placed to make an accurate assessment than me or you.

He was superb tonight. His reading of the game is superb. Kind of a Japanese Paul Parker.

He impressed me bigtime tonight. Big, strong, confident, safe hands and saves. Top class.

I agree. Maybe not in this game, but I think Gaston will get the armband sooner rather than later. Not deserved but entirely possible.

Yes, he'll know they're footballers and will know about as much as we all can gauge from watching players on video and YouTube. De Ridder looked sh!t hot on video but looks plain sh!t in the flesh, for example. Ok, he'll know something about some of our players. He won't know enough about them all though and I think that's the valid point that was being made.

He'll have watched videos of matches, and possibly training, but he won't know the players. He'll struggle to put names to all faces. He won't know their personalities, how able they are to act on instructions etc etc. Moreover he won't have a rapport with them and is unlikely to have earned their respect. Lawro was wrong about Ramirez, and can be a tool but he's right in this article.
