Not yet. At the moment it's just 'week commencing 26th'.

So long as he doesn't agree to any behind the scenes documentaries and start telling Sky about other players drugs ban, he should be alright.

Well they wouldn't be. Andy Bachlem overlooked yet again...

Brilliant, well deserved. Great to see a hard working and honest professional getting the recognition he deserves. Well done Rickie. I hope he gets onto the pitch at some point.

This is a double post, so I've replaced it with this picture of a cabbage

Not really boring just because you've been there, I've seen 4 Lions on several occasions doesn't mean it's a boring film. Sorry if I sound like MLG but I find it odd that so many people say the LC 2nd round draw is boring EVERY season, like they're expecting a trip to the Bernabeu or something. Back to the game, I might actually be able to go if it's on the Wednesday. Thoughts on the team? Kelvin Chambers - Fonte - Hooiveld - Fox Cork - JWP Puncheon - Guly - Lallana Mayuka Something like that

Not really sure what you guys were expecting, it's the League Cup second round and we're a seeded team. We're guaranteed to be playing a lower league side, aside from local convenience for some people, I really don't know what you were hoping for. I don't see why a trip to Barnsley is any worse than any of the other teams in the draw. It's winnable if nothing else. Lets at least not embarrass ourselves like we did at Leeds last season.

There you go.

Not sure if this is a massive coincidence but I've just watched the UK premiere of this film on Syfy. Christ alive was it bad.

Yeovil, Cheltenham or Bristol City away would do me. The only ones close enough to bother going to.

To be fair, you did click on a thread entitled, "What is the attraction in keeping a pet snake?" If I'd posted this on the Pompey Takeover Saga thread you might have a point.

A good rule of thumb is 1 adult to every 5 feet of snake. Anything up to about 10ft and adult should be able to handle safely. 10-15ft you're better off having a friend there to help out handling. Above 15ft 3 people, if you somehow managed to get hold of a 20ft plus snake, 4 people. etc.

Got 2 king snakes. Always wanted one as a kid, so when I left home I bought a couple. They're pretty cool to watch sometimes, much the same as having an aquarium really. Having said that, the novelty has worn off a bit now and I'm looking to sell them. Obviously keeping a 15ft python in the same house as an infant is ridiculous, although no different to having a large aggressive dog.

Glass knees 50p head Toblerone feet Turning circle of a North Sea ferry As much pace as a herd of wild tortoise stampeding through a puddle of warm marmalade Sent of at least twice for punching another player All the subtlety and finesse of a WW2 air raid Apart from that a good solid pro.

I'd agree with that, I thought Yoshi was excellent overall last year. Especially considering he has never played in England and was throw in at the deep end (with sharks) in that Emirates horror show. Once Cork, Boruc and Yoshi slotted into the team we sealed up massively in defence. It was only our lack of scoring towards the end of the season which cost us a top half finish. I'd definitely start the season with Yoshi and Lovren. Chucking 2 completely new CBs into the team is more than a little risky IMO, we'd be trying to fix problems which aren't really there.

I'd be happy enough with JRod playing off the last man and Gaston in the hole for now. It's all a bit pointless debating this at the moment, we will sign another striker this month and he would probably displace Rickie as first choice striker anyway.

Was a decent striker but when Burley lost the plot in summer 2007 his form completely flopped. He would have done well playing in a decent team as he did in his initial loan period.

Brilliant

Except he wasn't. Pulis was an utterly hopeless football. So were Darren Powell, Lee Molyneux and Zoltan Liptak. De Ridder just never fitted into our team and our way of playing. He had some talent but Saints progress through the leagues just overtook him. I will always remember his goal away at Coventry completely emptying the Ricoh Arena for the last 10 minutes of the game.

Hull and Ipswich at home in the Championship he definitely made a positive impact. The Blackpool miss was bad but a lot of players have moments like that. No worse than Lallana missing an open goal at Norwich this year, yet he seems more easily forgiven.

I was there for that one too. Think I aged about 50 years over the course of that game. Going 2-0, 2-2, 4-2, 4-4 against one of your closest promotion rivals isn't good for the blood pressure.

That would explain all the adverts for gay fetishist ocean cruises I keep getting.

Exactly. Pretty much every club will have players saying stuff like this about their manager. I remember players being full of praise for Jan Poortvleit.

Is this one of those threads where people get outraged over something nobody has actually said? There aren't any haters, nobody is writing him off, saying he is sh*t, saying he isn't good enough for the Premier League or anything like that. It's just fair honest criticism of his overall game, the same as any other player. He isn't beyond criticism just because he is a local, academy grown player. He needs to improve his final ball and his shooting if he is to keep his place in the team. Lallana wont get into a top 6 team playing like he did last season and that is where Saints have to be aiming.

The depth can be deceptive but I'd have said that train was doing well North of a tonne when the accident happened. Certainly look far in excess of what would 'look' to be a safe speed around a bend like that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytHe8aJyjfk
