Worried that both CB's on yellows. Maybe Victor for Cork/Ward Prowse can take off a bit of pressure.

In a perfect world we'd have two Fonte's at centreback.

I'm not sure the Scots are getting such a good deal with the free prescriptions though. I understand that the cost of this is taken out of the Scotch NHS budget, so effectively they're not getting something for nothing, and it's not the English who are paying out for it. And as it turns out it appears they're struggling to afford it (and have enough nurses). The Scottish Tories are campaigning to scrap the idea and start paying again.

Financially, roughly speaking If we end the season top half then it'll have been a success in my eyes. Less than that you'll have to do some number crunching. We've done well with our purchases on paper. Lets see what Koeman can do with them.

Of starting eleven, seven are new signings. Will be interesting...

I don't believe it.

Song for Toby Alderweireld? Not the easiest name to rhyme.

Where are the goals gonna come from?!!!!!!!!!!

Pelle seems afraid to turn and shoot.

Nice low shot by Long.

Well we had a better second half than first at Millwall...

Yeah I'd go with that. And save Victor for when we are 2-1 up with 15 to go.

I like Davis but we could really do with someone who can shoot a bit from midfield right now.

Nobody wants to shoot.

Hope Wanyama on the bench is some sort of tactical move rather than fitness/attitude problem. Team seems very light without him.

For what it's worth, for the 20 minutes I saw him I didn't think he was all that.

People are only going to mix more and more as time goes on, it's inevitable. Differing cultures are going to have to learn to get on with it. If there were mistakes made by the authorities in this case then lessons need to be learned, but to bin the whole concept of multiculturalism because if this is hysterical. Anyway, most of those decision makers within the authorites who failed to protect those kids were probably middle class white people. Perhaps we should chuck them out of the country.

I raised my eyebrows when I heard they were flying infected medical staff back, it seems they've done their homework and have all risks covered. The DoH said the decision to return the patient to the UK was taken following "clinical advice". Prof John Watson, DoH deputy chief medical officer, said they would be taken in a specially-adapted ambulance to a high level isolation unit - the only unit of its kind in the UK......the UK has "robust, well-developed and well-tested NHS systems for managing unusual infectious diseases". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28919831

Is there likely to be a stream for this?

I think I'd take a chance on this. Or at least at half time if Pelle can't get near anything.

Using Utd as a stepping stone to Saints no doubt.

Oh yeah, and he had nice hair so should fit in just fine.

Saw him vs Leverkusen for about 30 minutes I think it was. Seemed to have some talent, tricky and some good passes and a tackle or two. Made a pretty impressive shot too, which appeared on target before it was deflected. We could certainly do with some midfielders who can shoot a bit. I guess he'll need a bit of easing-in/development before he'll feature too much within the first team though. edit: oh, a timewaster
