I can't pick one, it's mood dependant. Today it's Pulp Fiction.

CB x 2

Will be an interesting weekend for many players in the EPL who find out they are not in the matchday squad. Expect next week they will be asking for a transfer or loan moves to other clubs. Praying we pick up a couple as we need them badly. CB, CM and CF.

If THB does leave at least I have some stickers for away games.

{ Without too much thought.........} Apollo 13 ( I know the entire script by heart but still watch it several times a year ) High Society. ( Not usually a fan of musicals, but this is just brilliant ) Star Wars. ( Does this need explaining ? ) Casablanca. ( Watching it for the first time is the beginning of a beautiful friendship ) LA Confidential ( Well made, good cast, strong story ) A Matter of Life and Death ( An object lesson in film making ) ( and so many more ) Ask me agsin tomorrow and you will get a different list.

He is (one of) and he will. Which is not the same as thinking we are incapable of beating Stoke without him.

Just because THB is likely to be off soon, he can still play for us today. Last year, we played Stoke at home at a similar time in the season and Matty Fernandes played and he went to West Ham a week later.

Some fans think he's our best player so that could leave a big gap to fill. You would think there is enough on bench to plug the gap.

We are far better than Watford and lost. I think the spygate and -4 is in the back of the players minds and just adds to the stress of being a expected 2nd place team. The prediction bots obviously has us in 2nd place on basis of the unbeaten run saying Saints will play like that all season. But it doesn't account for tge dodgy goals and defence we have or the fact there is no out and out goal scorer up front. The -4 hasn't been factored in either, it looks an insignificant amount to claw back as long we get point in first 5 games to avoid playing catch up all week. I still think a realistic achievement is 6th, 7th or 8th.

Jesus wept.

I know what you mean buddy. You've got 9yrs on me but it's a similarish situation (I lost my dad a couple of years ago and he was the one to blame for me supporting saints!). I've long since realised that we can't affect what happens and players will always come and go, it's just a case of enjoying the good times when they are here!

What's his stated injury? Illness and injury just before window closes are certainly tell tale signs.

Play him and it makes a statement to Villa that they need to pay our asking price or he goes nowhere. If we leave him out, especially after saying he handled exactly the same scenario last January, then it suggests we don't want him injured and to miss out on the money he will bring in.

We’re still a far better team than Stoke, and indeed most of this league, even without THB. Clearly we’re weaker without him but anything other than a win in this game is unacceptable.

I did think last week when the club said he was 'injured' that he was on his way. Oh well, another top quality player to replace.....in under two weeks 😂

Lights were a mess all over Soton yesterday. Took me 20 minutes to go from Jury's Inn, past the civic centre down past the train station as the lights seemed whack.

What is it? What are they? And why? I had a friend ten years ago that did the IMDB top 50 list and he said some were garbage. What are yours?

Who do you think you are, TheVMan?

After the excitement of getting down to the stadium for the first game of the season and the result being shitty.

The football being back on, anticipation of the first game at the stadium and going down to watch it.

Lovely sunny morning here in Southamptonshire, home win weather, few tickets left still , get on down there get behind the lads

Small things in life that annoy you: - Needing a dump just after a shower. - Hitting every red light going into Southampton city centre making what should be a twenty minute journey (for me) nearly an hour. - Tipping in restaurants. - My wife’s obsession with going to the same holiday destination year after year.

Can only see a loss without THB

Small things in life that bring you joy: - Sitting on a plane, and the stewardess says “cabin crew boarding complete” and you still have a spare seat next to you. - Seeing a player you despise getting sent off and still throwing a paddy, see Cristiano Ronaldo for enjoyable highlights. - Green lights all the way to work, making it feel like you’re part of the Italian Job (rarity travelling into town since their a set every twenty yards).
