Legod Third Coming

I'm not hugely confident but the 14/1 about us winning is an insult.

Nah, my money is on Liverpool for relegation (you heard it here first) simply because Rodgers won't be sacked. The Americans can't afford to sack him and show that they have no strategy for the club. I was in Liverpool last night and from what I could make out lichhhhe, they're all still mourning King Kenny...

Point 1 - cobblers. Bookies make a market based on odds-compilers. Prices then CHANGE based on the weight of money combined with the odds-compiler's view. But you can't price a market on a volume of trading that has yet to happen... Unless you're running a tissue. Which they won't on footballer managers. Incidentally, manager markets are for mugs. They are by a country mile bookies most profitable markets. And if you're in the know, you can't get on!!!

I'm sentimentally atttached to this football club, but if you offered me £30m to never see or hear the results again, I would bite your fecking arm off

If you think about it, that is EXACTLY what you would do if you were looking to sell...

Tell me which football club is not for sale?

I'm not fussed but then I rarely ever use the official site - I still phone to buy tickets! But I am surprised that mobile was not more of a priority given that more people now access the internet from mobile devices than computers...

I'm guessing with Twitter blocking it takes two to tango

This is designers all over... "99% of the world uses wheels which are round, but square is just so aesthetically pleasing and ideal for that one tiny cobbled street in the middle of Uzbekhistan that a few designers use..." Make it work in IE9 and in Chrome it will just look better...

Probably designed in Chrome and might look great in that... in IE9 it navigates like a rudderless ship with a drunk captain.

I'm lucky that I can work there pretty much when it suits. But on Friday, having a coffee in a cracking little Patisserie in Greek Street, followed by lunch nearby, then a meeting on Pall Mall (finding out that the building was being shared with the Slovak Olympic Committee) and seeing all the incredible branding, volunteers, ambassadors and events for 2012, I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else in the world. I was born and raised in Hampshire. I love the county. But it's sleepy. London is alive and makes you feel that way.... "A man who is tired of London, is tired of life..."

Every city in the world has shi tty areas you are are advised to avoid. But wander around 95% of London - ie. from the middle outwards and you'll be fine.

No, but London can offer: tea at the Ritz, HR Owen, the boat show, the Barbican, The Natural History Museum, British Museum, V&A, National Portrait Gallery, Royal Academy, Somerset House, Imperial War Museum, Science Museum, cycling around the Olympic velodrome, Hyde Park, St. James's Park, Green Park, Regent's Park, Wansdworth Common, Wimbledon Common, Clapham Common, House of Commons on a summer's day, Thames Riverside, camping trips to St Paul's or Parliament Square, a direct train to Disneyworld and London Zoo... and that's without a mention of the glitz and glamour of trendy nightclubs, michelen star restaurants, some of the best clothes shops in Europe in one of the world's greatest cities you know...

Really? I would prefer 100k per week and live in my pick of Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Fulham, Park Lane, Notting Hill, Highgate... Some people need to get out of the sticks a bit more. I love Southampton but if you think it has 10% of the attraction of Central London, you're probably married to your sister...

Never heard so much nonsense. The bloke single-handedly turned around our performance against Sweden. The guy has speed and vision, and an exceptional touch. Played regularly in the right position he would be an England pick every game. Last year: 46 games, 11 goals and 13 assists, playing the best teams in Europe (and coming back from injury). Yes, clearly just Usain Bolt with in football boots. Feckwit.

Got a very nice look that side. Strength in depth.

When was the last time a Zone scored... Take a man and get touch tight with him, stay goal side and he doesn't score does he...? Simple game, let's no complicate it.

Great pictures Ron.

Years ago I wrote to Chris Nicholl telling him that I was 100% behind him and the team, despite all the doom and gloom at the time, and wanted him to carry on playing the same way. I received a personal letter from Nick Holmes thanking me for my continuing support and promising that the team were all united in their desire for success and in their wish to play good, attractive, attacking football. A few months back my mum found that letter and handed it to me. It's perhaps a sign of the times that such touches from club captains are rare these days. Easier to tweet 124 meaningless characters than spend a few minutes writing to a fan. Not a complaint, just an observation on life in 2012...

We are top of the league, say we are top of the league...

Then I'm sure if that's the plan, that's what we'll do.

Someone said unexpected clubs win things and I listed some. You've been in that shi*hole in the Midlands too long. Come back where the air is clear and AMBITION lives. If Southampton win the league in five/ten/fiteen years there will be people of my age saying, who would have seen that coming five/ten/fifteen years ago. Not rocket science is it?

So you expected them to win?

If we wanted to win it this year yes. Who the hell is talking about that?

We will have to spend BIG. We don't have to be the BIGGEST. We don't have to do it NOW. To win the league we will HAVE to do it.
