I'm deeply conflicted. I'm not sure what the correct response is. I want to praise Chicken With A Banjo for his post, but in doing so I immediately fall into one (or likely more than one) of the distressingly accurate categories of losers that he has outlined. CWAB? Chicken Using Nine Trumpets more like.

Bullying. It's ugly. Turkish: sporting effortlessly stylish 'casual' cap and contrasting blue nylon rucksack ensemble. John Boy Saint: sporting pasty-filled belly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isfn4OxCPQs The Moral? Punch someone enough in their forum-face, and they will eventually snap and beat you to death with their carefully argued and well constructed responses. There aren't enough kettlebells and martial arts in the entire mboard world to protect you from a man who has gone Pukka Pasty Postal.

Outstanding use of a comedy vehicle Le Timmier.

Why does it annoy you to be walking behind somebody whilst you are smoking?

Yeah, a very interesting sound SuperMikey. I've listened to The Black Light and Carried to Dust - I couldn't find Spoke on Google Music. Both very good indeed, but neither in the same league as Spiritoso (at least not on the first couple of listens). I can hear Dylan, Tim Buckley and perhaps even some Jackson Browne in his vocal performance, but musically I can't say I've heard anything quite like it before. If you'd described the combination to me beforehand I'd have said "Not for me", but it works really well.

9. Does it for me scotty.

Top 10 one-liners at this year's 'Fringe... Rob Auton - "I heard a rumour that Cadbury is bringing out an oriental chocolate bar. Could be a Chinese Wispa." Alex Horne - "I used to work in a shoe-recycling shop. It was sole-destroying." Alfie Moore - "I'm in a same-sex marriage... the sex is always the same." Tim Vine - "My friend told me he was going to a fancy dress party as an Italian island. I said to him 'Don't be Sicily'." Gary Delaney - "I can give you the cause of anaphylactic shock in a nutshell." Phil Wang - "The Pope is a lot like Doctor Who. He never dies, just keeps being replaced by white men." Marcus Brigstocke - "You know you are fat when you hug a child and it gets lost." Liam Williams - "The universe implodes. No matter." Bobby Mair - "I was adopted at birth and have never met my mum. That makes it very difficult to enjoy any lapdance." Chris Coltrane - "The good thing about lending someone your time machine is that you basically get it back immediately."

Just listening to Spiritoso now. A very interesting and unusual sound. I'll certainly listen to some of their other stuff. What would you recommend SuperMikey?

One Club...to beat your ****ing out of tune face in with.

Pope: ...and the blind man says to the naked Nun, "Nice t!ts. Anyway, where do you want me to put these blinds?"

I think he very well could be the weakest link in terms of players that make the system work. But as we saw at times last year, against teams that come to defend and not attack, our system can be easily stifled and made to look devoid of creativity. Players like Gaston, once he's settled and gets a run, will be essential "weak links", late on against teams that park the bus.

Passed a group of 8 or 9 Scots outside a pub on Kings Cross Road yesterday lunchtime, bekilted and beered-up and shouting good humoured banter at passers by. I engaged them for a little while, and left them with a prophetic warning... "Beware Rickie Lambert Southampton's finest". My ego hopes that they were discussing my warning at the final whistle.

Wow. Rickie Lambert, scorer of goals, uniter of nations. So pleased for him. Emotional when he scored, but made even more so by the crowd's reaction and chanting. I guess that's because we are a 'neutral' team for most England fans. Who said friendlies are meaningless?

Actually papster, that's a pretty good call.

It's lovely to hear that you missed me Toke! I heart you. You're like a son to me. I've not actually been away though. Like a lurking school Headmistress, I've been standing at the back of the TMS class allowing you all to misbehave, but still remaining in loco parentis. As the current Father of TMS, nowadays I like to go for quality over quantity. I think of it as Tantric-posting. I like to distil my progenerating seed of creation for days or weeks before I blow my literary load, and allow it to gush all over you muppets.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, Playstation guitar and pistol in mitten, Brown crotch-rot stains and bingo wings, These are a few of my favourite things. A word to the wise SNSUN, it's unfair on the female population of TMS to post erotic material of this nature. Most of them will be at work and therefore won't be able to kill the kitten until they get home. Sorry Laydeeez

Yes, hence my flippant response.

It's OK Essruu, you can't catch it.

When I read the thread title I assumed that they were holding an Olympics where medals are awarded for being anti-gay. Glad to see that such a thing doesn't really exist. Although it's a shame in some ways as I think a few contributors on here might medal*. *Apologies for the verbification of that particular noun

My Basingstoke-born, Liverpool-supporting mate now lives in São Paulo. Whenever I speak with him or his Brazil-supporting wife and they tell me how great football is over there, I remind them that without the Saints their national sport might well be baseball or basketball. Good old Charles Miller. It really is a good story, and I agree that we should make more of it as a club - especially if we're now trying to sign more Brazilians.

"Feyenoord 'til I die" Very moving.

Sorry Toke. I've done the prep for the porn review, but whilst typing it I gloyed-up the keyboard mechanism. I'll post it up once I've de-DNA'd my keyboard.

A great read. Very positive, and it sounds like we're well prepared. Particularly like the family atmosphere that has been engendered. But I have a couple of issues with your paraphrasing of the article. Did it say that the players were face-timing each other on their breaks? I just saw that AL face-timed his young son Arthur during the 18 day pre-season tour. The bit about Adkins leaving led me to believe that AL was saying that people OUTSIDE the club were asking if it was the right decision to change manager, but that then you didn't hear much from the people OUTSIDE the club, because people OUTSIDE the club were really impressed with MP. You seemed to be suggesting that his referred to the players' attitudes.
