Is there some kind of law of inevitability about SaintsWeb threads gravitating towards the Pompey nutjob thing?

Is that from the exit poll or an actual result?

I used to do Shoreditch to Clapham most days for about 18 months before changing jobs, rush-hour both ways although evenings were quieter. Never had any problems as long as I kept on the lookout. 8am on London bridge every day was very nice. But this was 13 years ago when London was but a small village. And now I'm old and live in Louisiana and don't dare cycle anywhere because the traffic moves faster than London's 3 mph.

I didn't blow anyone up today. Where do I get my 350 quids?

However they won't be able to finish 17th because that's our spot, isn't it?

I have no idea on the rules, but does that red card affect Harry's availability for Spurs? Without Wanyama and presumably Toby already...

If Koeman didn't rate him I think we'd have kept Jack Cork, at least until the summer. No rush on Reed, give him time and integrate him slowly, not everything is about here-and-now. That said, I'd have him in against Tottenham due to lack of other options.

Fonte MOTM purely for telling Mane that JWP was taking the penalty.

"Determined To Lose Weight" according to google

I guess that's him off to Liverpool then.

So he still may be back before J-Rod

Kelvin to Liverpool for 15m on the back of today's performance. We just can't keep the good ones.

Actually I think one thing that came out of our time in the top 4 was that there was a feeling these players would probably move anyway. It's convenient for players moving to The Big Clubs if that club is in the CL that year because it gives them something to say other than 'it's for the money'. Us finishing that high would still see them leave but at least they would have to admit the actual truth: it's for the money, and that's where we're not competing with The Big Clubs. Am I too cynical?

Today I am mostly watching the Landscape Channel.

Can we buy him for 6m and then sell him on for 28m the following week?

Coming over from the US for most of July. Just my luck if Saints end up playing over here during that time.

Straight from the kickoff for second half, 2-1 Djuricic. Wish it had been that easy to score yesterday!

Totally agree. Maybe I'm too defensively-minded but I really like Reed and he could allow Wanyama just a little bit further forward to cause more trouble for them.

I guess I misidentified the player and it was actually Mane. Other difference was, this was the left and in my dream it was the right. Very similar goal apart from that.

Had a dream last night that it was 0-0 going into injury time but we kept hitting posts etc. Then the ball came to our sub forward, who scored. Only problem, it was Guly.

With Elia, Mane, Tadic and Djuricic I'm starting to wonder if Davis might be the odd one out more often now.

I hadn't thought about that parallel before but it is interesting how Gaston started bright yet is now regarded as waste of money, even though he still got a few goals and assists even last season. Tadic stats might be similar, not sure, but the impression we're getting is a little similar.

We should keep him. Make him train on his own for a year. He could have occasional meetings with club officials to pass him bread and water. Then we review and see if he's willing to say sorry to the club captain. If not, another year.

Doesn't mention if we offered Osvaldo.

What's not to like? His scoring record, tbh. Although RK might be the one to get him firing if anyone can.
