They should invent something that tells you where other ships are: they could call it Radar. More importantly they could make sure that it's used!

"Raising issues." That he thinks might stir a bit of anger and dislike and support for himself. Whilst not confronting bigger issues in this country like inequality, the redressing of which might cost him..

I should have gone to the shareholders' meeting but wasn't in the country. I never expected to make money on that particular shareholding but a shame to lose it nonetheless. He is a massive right wing prat though.

Thought Smallbone started sluggishly but can't argue with that run into space: the sort of thing we saw a fair bit of in the Championship. Cool finish too. I still expect us to lose but this is a heartening performance.

Last night in a local pub I was on my own in watching the football so was muttering to no one in particular, myself really, about the line-up. "Downes and Smallbone in midfield, aargh. No decent striker, oh gawd" - you get the drift. I know Juric gets criticism for his line-ups but when you look around at the squad you can see the difficulties he has.

I've just had a daily poll come up on my Alexa; yep, you've guessed it. "Who will win..."

Just arrived here from reading that. An interesting read..

One of my local pubs has TNT so I may be lucky, there might be another game they're showing. Or I might get injured at training earlier.. For the sake of all the masochist away supporters I hope we get something out of it. Or maybe not, I suppose, if they really are that way inclined.

In pub chatting to Brighton fans, they're so much nicer than Leeds or Chelsea or West Ham supporters..

Sod it! Standing room only and not much of that!

Well, I look forward to seeing you on the train RB! Front carriage as always. 😉

The San Siro and the birreria Lambrate full of Saints fans was fun, but not so many at the Thun pre-season friendly.. Steve Grant ISTR, Swiss Saint, and random others. But they'd better hurry up before we all get too old.

Yeah, but they haven't conceded as many, I don't think. We've still got that record. I've just seen the goal clips and some very empty stands..

He didn't score.. 3-3 draw as per our uninformative OS.

Does anyone think that our scouts said "Oh yes, Carillo would be a good buy.."? That was surely down to Les Reed having a high opinion of his own judgement. This reminds me of the story of Rupert Lowe when he accepted Tommy Fourpast as a contribution to the Bale deal. He asked a goalkeeping coach/scout what he was like and was told "He's crap!". How do you know, asks Rupert? "It's my job to know". But then Lowe was another with an over-elevated view of his own judgement, as his subsequent political career has also shown.
