You're very patient to have typed all that out

A game we lost

It'll be fine so long as there are no opposition fans about.

"I'll be at the back."

I think we're ok with the Vikings - they never got that far south. Barbary pirates from north Africa on the other hand hauled off a few slaves from Devon and Cornwall, which I think they did just to piss off Lowe.

I think debates about whether JWP is or isn't the player he was when he left us miss the point. Over the weekend I watched two full premier league games - Newcastle v Liverpool and Fulham v Chelsea - plus highlights of Hull v Man Utd. What was striking about all those games was how physically dynamic they were. Apparently, for one example, the number of sprints per 90 in the Prem has gone up around 20% in the last year or so. This seems to be reflected in the kind of signings Prem teams are making - including Hull who've basically recruited an entirely new team. And Arbeloa at Fulham (the team with the oldest average age in the Prem last season) has completely changed the recruiting criteria, signing highly mobile early 20-somethings - a pattern into which Charles fits neatly. All of these teams were coached to get the ball forward fast and furious. It was brilliant to watch. Did JWP ever fit these criteria? He was fit enough but nowhere near the kind of player that these clubs, and the rest of the Prem, now seek out. Arguably this trend hasn't come to the Championship yet, although Millwall, for example, would beg to differ, as we may find out at the weekend. My strong hunch is that the teams that get promoted this year will fit this trend. So JWP is just the wrong kind of player in a rapidly changing game - and Nuno hasn't been the only one to notice.

So his last name is Trump?

Is it not possible to declutter the transfer thread of all the JWP stuff so the rest of us can focus? A neutral and inclusive thread title like "Doe-eyed nostalgists talking bollocks" should cover it.

If that's the rule I'm going with Knee-Coh.

Thanks everyone.

Took me a while to straighten out the exact difference between THB and GHB.

Bookmarked. For what purpose I'm not saying just yet.

I'd have pegged it by then if they don't hurry up.

Jason Arday has died. This whole saga is all too sad.

Going by his avatar, he's on a painfully sharp fence post.

Infantinosis. There's a lot of it about.

So sweet fuck all then.

Spygate vs Predatorgate. For once we have the moral high ground.

What's the appropriate language for telling a fan from a multi-clubber, without causing offence, to fuck off?

After which the M1 southbound is unaccountably closed permanently.

Excellent potential for a chant. Tune?

Whoosh - or rather, nyeee-oooow.

Honestly didn't realise there was any real estate around St Mary's. I must have a word with my realtor.
