Bale's left foot is mighty special...

Making sure all sh*ts are clean.

Have a day off. That's like saying Cortese is Nostradamus.

He's cool, He's slick, He takes no f*cking stick, Mauricio, Mauricio

Depends what league we are in.

Actual LOL video.

Although Lambert scored from the resulting penalty, a goal for Mayuka against Villa could've kicked-started his season with a bang.

No chance will we break the 40 points barrier.

Good blog, but it has been called the Premier League for a fair few years now.

"Scum army" - Christ, how embarrassing.

A bizarre and clueless response.

Umm no.

Nani = doom.

Why is it acceptable for us to play do badly against united? So what if it's at Old Trafford. At least show a bit of fight. We look terrible. I'm probably the biggest pessimist there is and still thought we'd go down after the Chelsea game, but I fear the descent could come sooner.

We do look atrocious. Devoid of ideas and confidence. Although we are against the Champions elect, I fear a downward slump. MP may be a good manager but this proves the timing of Adkins' sacking was a huge faux pas.

Could have the same impact as Jonathan Stead.

Saw Palma Violets at The Joiners last year - average.

Last season I thought he looked a top player with bags of potential. Maybe the step up to the Premier League was too big for him, or injuries have knocked back his progression. Remember, he's a Japanese international like Yoshida, and the latter is turning out to be a quality signing the more he plays.

Got picked up by a national journo then. Surprising as making up rumours must surely add to the laborious wait of seeking any bonafide info about a player joining. Utter mongship.

Pleased with your unxenophobic response, Colinjb. Anyone know how good this lad is?

@ossianshine: Nothing certain yet but rumours of Roberto Firmino endure. He's skillful, quick and clever with a powerful shot. #saintsfc

...hush hush, eye to eye.

Something about him screams D'Alessandro. Not bothered.

Saints fans really are strange.

0-3 defeat.
