Didn't think watching West Ham was that exciting.

Don't forget the radio and the ermm... catering.

Didn't James Beattie take about 10 games to get on the score sheet at all in the Cup Final season? Give him time and patience and he will start scoring again.

You've overlooked his appalling use of "we're" when he means "were". A much more severe crime I'd have thought. Back on topic, I hope getting beaten up by some big nasty bullies didn't ruin their special day out.

Thought we played them off the park to be honnest. We may not have had that many chances in front of goal, but we completely controlled the game. Excellent in midfield and didn't give them a sniff at the back. If we play like that for the rest of the season we will go up, no question. Such a shame their cup final was a complete none-event. If their fans had walked out after hitting the post in the first minute, they'd have missed f**k all. Saints were really good, both individually and as a team. Davis - 6 Didn't have much to do. Not sure about the kicking. Butterfield - 6 Wasn't really challenged Fonte - 8 Excellent. Played the ball out of defence so comfotably. Seaborne - 8 Much less hoof than less season. Looked comfortable. Harding - 8 Got forward well and was never out of control at the back. Puncheon - 7 Had a good game. Could have scored when 1-on-1, but the ref brought it back for a free kick. Hammond - 8 Ran the midfield with Morgan. Schneiderlin - 8 Ran the midfield with Hammond. Lallana - 7 Needs to regain a bit of fitness and sharpness, but still looked lively. Lambert - 6 Two well dispatched penalties, but still isn't there in open play at all. Barnard - 8 Ran his socks off.

Doubt we'd be bringing in other clubs crocked players. I'd imagine he's just unfit and out of favour.

Booked my ticket earlier. Northam was completely sold out and I was told I got the last ticket in the corner section (block 38 ). Should be a cracking atmosphere.

Just bought it today. Looks pretty good from a graphics point of view. Brilliant infact. My only gripe so far is that whenever you put a couple of wheels accross the grass it invalidates your time on the time trial mode. Did about 10 laps at the new Korean circuit (first one I went on because it's completely new) before I even posted a time. Every time I ran wide onto the grass, time deleted. Maybe I just need to be better.

Looks more like Preston from Wallace and Grommit.

That struck me too. Morgan in particular. At one point in the second half he took the ball past a player, then found himself in space on the edge of the box. I (and quite a few others) was screaming at him to leather it, but instead he took a couple of touches and tried to turn about 3 defenders. He almost drilled himself into the pitch twisting and turning and just lost the ball. If a player has a pop and misses or hit's the 'keeper I'd still be pleased. On a wet slippery dark midweek game like that, anything can happen. A slight deflection, akward bounce or slippery ball and even the lamest daisy cutter can find it's way in.

Needles for me. No idea what the correct medical term is for that, but I'd make a s**t heroin addict. Not great with heights, but I'm not sure that's actually a phobia. As JackFrost said with snakes and spiders, that's partially rational. I'd say a certain caution around heights is ingrained in our evolution. Apes who weren't probably ended up marinading in their own bodily fluids on the floor.

Can't honnestly say I've ever seen him play for Saints, other than MOTD. Doesn't really say much for your career if a club brings in Olivier Bernard to replace you though. I swear the most co-ordinated I ever saw him (Bernard) look was after Laurent Robert tw*ted him accross the head with that free kick.

Explain. *Runs to get a box of tissues*

We can call him RCFG.

Brilliant news. If he's half the player he was in '06 I'll be delighted. If not, well you can't go far wrong with a month loan.
