Said to hear of the death of Gary Shaw who has died following a fall at the age of 63. I'm sure that many of us will remember his partnership with Peter Withe in the successful Villa side of the early 80's. Won the league and the European Cup but a year later suffered a knee injury that ended his top-flight career.

In 2012 it was 4 losses and 14 goals conceded but Adkins was given until January when he was starting to turn things round.

You're right. I've been in the Chapel for years and, going by the first 2 games, the old Northam end seemed to make more noise that the current one. Maybe because the old lot were dedicated singers whereas the new imports aren't as vocal.

EPL quality mangers who are available will have been sacked from their previous jobs. It''ll probably cost us at least £10m to sack Martin and his team. We've had worse starts (1998 - 1 point by the middle of Qctober having conceded 21 goals) so I think that they'll give until Christmas to see if things improve.

If you think that some people on here are weird, you should try MENSA.

Stop sitting on the fence and tell us what you really think.

I see that the sentencing of a 12-year-old boy charged for 2 counts of disorder in Manchester, has been delayed because his mum has gone off to Ibiza. "The judge thanked the boy's uncle for accompanying his nephew to court in his mother's absence, but added: "One day before the hearing we find out the mum has gone on holiday and is not with her son who played a greater part in the recent civil disorder than any adult or child I've seen coming through these courts. "...I will require a full explanation from mum on her decision to go on holiday one day before her 12-year-old son comes to court facing a potential custodial sentence".

We're no strangers to slow starts. I remember taking my nipper to his first away game at Highbury in mid October '98. We had the grand total of 1 point and had conceded 21 goals and scored 3. We managed a 1-1 draw (Berkamp for them and Howells for us) and then things slowly improved.

Do they still teach cooking in schools? Back in the 60's it was called Domestic Science and I remember the girls coming back to class with delicious-looking pies and cakes which they didn't let us taste.

Tommy sent this to his dim supporters. What he didn't tell them was Mr Notley was out on licence having served half of his 20-year sentence for drug smuggling and had a long criminal record. Do you think that this might have influenced the sentence?

If we couldn't beat them when we had the best manager in Europe, we're going to really struggle this time.

Clacton is bracing itself for an invasion of American tourists.

According to the National Careers Service, the average salary for a station worker starts at £17000 and rises to £27000. Southwestern Railway are advertising for what they call a Gateline Assistant at a salary of £23800.

Exactly, statistics are the best way of separating facts from myths.

Apologies, those figures are for men. Perhaps you could give us the source for your statistics.

Our fat friend ended up getting 12 months.

The figure for migrant men is 82% compared with the figure for UK nationals of 78%. This for all migrants between the ages of 16 to 64.

The attacker was described as a "skinny white male" and was tackled and disarmed by 29 year-old Abdullah, a security guard from a nearby shop.

Tomorrow night at 18.00. Russel Martin, Jack Stephens, Phil Parsons and Andy Bitcon hosted by Adam Blackmore. It's a fiver for a ticket but it'll be covered by Radio Solent.

How do you know this?

People tend to forget that we've already spent £38m in this window on Downes and THB. Because they've been with us for a year, the fact that they needed to be paid for slipped under the radar.

Could you give us some data on what proportion are economic migrants?

Highlight of the match for me was sitting across the aisle from Matt Le Tiss and getting a photo of him and my grandson. Coming out of the Chapel we couldn't turn right to Melbourne St. Everyone was funneled to Marine Parade and it was quite congested. If it's like that with 7000, 30000 is going to make it a lot worse.
