One down.

Confirmed that Jeremy Corbyn is the new Labour leader after just one round of voting. He got 251,417 votes - 59.5%.

Amusing to watch the Blairites squirm on BBC News.

Nigel Adkins Interview (Saints YouTube channel, Monday)
Saint-Armstrong replied to jawillwill's topic in The Saints
Doesn't seem to be much bitterness or childish mentality on show there, name-checking and 'thanking' Cortese for giving him a chance to manage Saints... -
9:10 and 9:50 my personal highlights.

Nigel Adkins Interview (Saints YouTube channel, Monday)
Saint-Armstrong replied to jawillwill's topic in The Saints
Nice touch, I'll give it a watch. Saints are clearly looking to further extend their media output and features like this are a good way of doing it. Interviews with ex-players/managers and so forth might be an interesting development. I'm all for it. -
Gazzaniga what are his strengths and weaknesses?
Saint-Armstrong replied to Mr X's topic in The Saints
Not if you put a recall clause in the loan agreement. Say Maarten gets injured mid-game, Kelvin steps in and finishes the game and we call PG back straight away. -

Paulo was due to go out on loan before the window shut, but it didn't materialise in the end for reasons beyond his control. I agree with Saint-Charlie, he really needs a loan spell. Think his confidence was damaged under Adkins and he was struggling with communication too. Hopefully time and coaching has and will continue to improve that, but he needs to get out and play somewhere. Hopefully that comes soon for him. -

Wanyama Transfer Rumours - Summer 2015 Edition
Saint-Armstrong replied to brett24's topic in The Saints
Because they haven't won in four PL games and if you get near to four games without a win then you're obviously **** and going down and the sky's falling in, etc. -
Wanyama Transfer Rumours - Summer 2015 Edition
Saint-Armstrong replied to brett24's topic in The Saints
Our 'rivals' are Spurs, Everton, Swansea - maybe Palace and Stoke - and Villa have mixed it in the top flight in the past decade or so. But currently: Spurs, Everton, Swansea. Possibly Stoke. Newcastle and West Ham if their house is in order. Palace might make the step up. -
Just ran a search for news articles on the internet and the last thing that came up was an interview in which he said Mutu is a great player, on Aug 23rd. Nothing from his club and he's still listed there everywhere else, so looks like someone was just on a wind-up.

'Died after a gunfight with his wife' doesn't sound how it'd be 'properly' entered, if that makes sense...?

Is it right for the media to use images of refugee tragedy?
Saint-Armstrong replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Lounge
I agree. I thought it was an interesting and relevant question, on the basis of people on social media complaining (and there's a fair portion), and from the perspective of media ethics. As someone who is studying that, it definitely holds interest in that regard. Actually think this thread has been a pretty decent discussion to start with, despite Pap clearly not thinking the same by flying into one at me on Twitter. Apparently it's disgraceful I even had to ask the question. Despite my own personal views, I just thought it was a discussion worth having and something that would provide some interesting responses from different people. It's proved to be that way, so far. As someone who recently sat media law and public affairs exams, this is something that is right at the core, so despite my own opinions I thought it'd be interesting to throw it open and see what the spread of opinion is like. -
Question: What's people's stance on news organisations and individuals sharing photos of dying refugees (some children) to try and make a point and draw attention to the issue? I've been reading a lot of back-and-forth discussions online today, and just wondered. I can see why you'd do it, but at the same time I feel like I kind of understand why people don't want to see it. But, I can't help but feel but moaning about seeing it isn't really that helpful. A heartbreaking and sad necessity, or just not needed? I'm not too sure where I stand, overall. Although, I think I lean more towards it being a desperately sad resort to open eyes. Any thoughts? Thought it had the potential to be an interesting and worthwhile discussion... genuinely very torn.

I wonder how this made it into the public domain... and to Dom Fifield of all people... I'm sure Fifield and Modric are close friends. Or something. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2011/jul/14/luka-modric-transfer-request-chelsea
