Now there is an oxymoron if ever I saw one. There is no such thing as a good tattoo. If you want a serious answer, you should tell your missus to knock some doors up Shirley Towers or on Thornhill or Weston Estates. You never know, the sight of fat and ugly women with tattoos on their arms and wrists, may just make her see sense and change her mind about becoming one.

If you always wondered if it was Guly's: It wasn't.

No, it was his birthday on Saturday.

'Success' being an 8th finish. That banner would leave us open to complete ridicule.

Have used Veho products for quite some time now. Currently sat in a pub near Hyde Park, charging my iPhone up ready for the rest of the day at British Summer Tone festival and The Libertines. I have various Pebble and SmartStick chargers - all excellent; plus various portable speakers that give out more than decent sound and the internal rechargeable batteries seem to last forever. Next on my shopping list in their Azuro sound bar with Bluetooth and FM Radio. I'm not sure I'd ever want an SFC branded item though: I'm sure they'll sell well, but that just seems a bit tacky.

That's quite a novel idea: A song that The Northam actually HAVE to sped up. It's quite a contrast to them ruining every song by speeding them up and bashing the back boards. It will probably confuse the hell out of them.

If the bus is ever late, he could always just jump in his Maserati, or his missus' BMW, I suppose.

The future is bright, it's LED White.

Exactly. He should've SnapChatted Ralph.

I see your point...

He has family locally.

"never really had any players worth selling" ? What a pr1ck: Williams, Channon, Shearer, Wallace, Walcott, Bale, Oxlade-Chamberlain, etc etc etc

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27492019 There's not much to moan about in that interview! : - By Ben Smith BBC Sport Ex-Southampton chairman Nicola Cortese believes the club risk undermining their recent success if they sell their best young players this summer. In his first interview since quitting in January, Cortese says if he had stayed the futures of Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana and manager Mauricio Pochettino would not be in doubt. "We created those talents," he told BBC Sport. "It was key to keep them. "You don't produce them just to sell, otherwise you give away your ambition." Manchester United have made a £27m offer for 18-year-old left-back Shaw, while Liverpool remain in talks over a move for captain Lallana, 26. The Anfield club have also made an enquiry for highly rated central defender Dejan Lovren, while midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, also 24, has attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs. However, Southampton are unwilling to sell any of their players. Southampton's in-demand men England left-back Luke Shaw, 18, has played 67 times for Saints - his only club England midfielder Adam Lallana, 26, played for the club in their League One days and has made 265 appearances French midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin also played for Southampton in the third tier, having moved from Strasbourg in 2008 Croatian defender Dejan Lovren joined from Lyon last summer for a reported £8.5m Manager Mauricio Pochettino was appointed in January 2013 having left Espanyol two months previously Cortese, who took charge of Southampton in 2009 when they were in League One, said he was confident none of his players would have left if he had still been chairman and was never worried about losing star names. "I can tell you that I didn't have that fear to the last day I was at the club," he said. "I was confident about plenty of conversations I had with the players. I knew the players themselves wanted to stick together because this vision was something they believed in too. I didn't see any reason for them to go. "I didn't have written offers but I obviously had phone calls. My answer was that it was not going to happen for at least the next two seasons. The other chairmen respected that. Until the day I left, there were no offers." Southampton started the 2009-10 season in League One on minus 10 points after entering administration under a previous regime, but won promotion to the Championship the following season. A second successive promotion took them to the Premier League and they finished this season in eighth place, with a club-record points haul of 56 in the top flight. It was a season that also saw four players - Lallana, Shaw, Jay Rodriguez and Rickie Lambert - win England caps. The future of Pochettino - who took over in January 2013 - has not yet been resolved with a year of his contract remaining. Tottenham are known to have him on their shortlist of candidates to become their next manager. Cortese, though, warned the Argentine about the risks of moving on from St Mary's too quickly. "I don't know what has happened since I left, so it is difficult for me to judge whether he potentially wants to leave or whether the offer from another club is really that good," he said. "That is beyond my knowledge. But he is ambitious and rightly so. When you plan a career, it is important to make the right decision at the right time. Often we have maybe seen people take too quick a step which ultimately backfires. "But he has to make his own decision. He is a young manager; he has plenty of time to have a great career."

Way ahead of you all

Morgan Schneiderlin, to the tune of La Marseillaise (a la Ooh Aah Cantona.) It's so obvious, that it's brilliant - and would sound great. Sadly, there's no easy opportunity for The Northam to bash the back boards in time to it, nor speed it up from 33rpm to 75rpm and ruin it; so it will never catch on.

They've finished. No team holiday or end of season do at The Four Seasons. Some have taken flights already.

They were all on the lap of honour; apart from that, yes, exactly the same.

You really are an odious pr!ck.

The French 30-Man squad is announced on Tuesday. The L'Equipe story is just that he is 'expected' to be named in that squad.

He's on the front page of L'Equipe this morning - and is buzzing. Him making the squad is the best chance we've got of him not leaving for a CL club.

I hope it's never proved one way or the other whether she actually did kill or not; the not knowing just makes her even sexier.

Oh, how I miss [sarcastic] this sort of thing, virus protection anti-malware, slowdowns etc. 

I've got tickets for this. Sadly, I never got to see The Libertines live before they split; but have seen Pete and Carl individually, many times, on various tours as Babyshambles, a Dirty Pretty Things, solo etc. As great as their separate stuff is, there is no denying that the crowds go most mental whenever they play older The Libertines songs. The AXS ticketing website collapsed at 9am last Monday when the pre-sale tickets went on sale, and it took me over an hour to be able to finally complete a purchase. I would have paid the £55 (plus fees!) price just to see The Libertines; the fact that The Pogues, The Enemy, Maximo Park, Reverend And The Makers, I Am Kloot, The View, Swim Deep, Wolf Alice, Spiritualized, Darlia, The Rifles, Cuckoolander, Brown Bear, Raglans and The Twang are all playing that day makes it a bargain.

Suits. I'm just approaching the end of Season 3. Season 4 airs next month in the US. Great show.
