    You're what..? :)

    Do you mean stoke, as in a filled up with coal and ready to be lit boiler fire..? ;)

    I would imagine this is another americanism borne of watching the film, Titanic. !?!

    I have heard this phrase before and have probably used it - meaning ready for the action to start or more frequently excited for the action to start. I always assumed it was derived from stoking a fire too.

    Must admit I wasn't going to highlight it, but I nearly did a tea spurt, so I had to mention it. I suppose 'excited' isn't enough anymore. At least it wasn't 'pumped'. :)

    Nothing to do with this particular set of words, but I've been guilty of saying 'thanks for the heads up', rather than 'thanks for bringing that to my attention'.

    Haha I used it specifically for this reason! Wasn't aware it was an Americanism, I used it as a colleague at work asked me if I was excited to be carrying out a new procedure yesterday. It was used ironically. But I'm still stoked in any case!

    Agh pedant! I don't often list him in my teams, rushed to bench a bit and didn't know who to put.

    As per with Saints cup ties, it'll be on Radio Solent with updates on the website and Twitter.

    I will post updates in here too.

    Can't believe I am actually going to this, and paid the ridiculous prices. I don't know how the club gets away with charging a £2.00 booking fee per ticket, regardless of how you buy them.

    Quotes from Pochettino's programme notes:

    "We want a cup run to help our league form"

    "Success breeds success"

    "We have a squad of players here who are desperate to win prizes for the club"

    "Stoked" is surfer slang. Like a lot of surfer terms, it's crossed over to non-surfers. Mostly non-surfers who talk like surfers though-- your heshers, duders, stoners, brahs and the like. Still don't hear it very often in mainstream culture.

    It may be too small for the future, but it's a damn fine looking stadium. I really like it that there's not a single break in the seating, other than access, and that the view is superb wherever you sit. That's when people sit down, of course. :)

    John Salako says Mayuka is likely to come in tonight, that'd be impressive...

    Talking of Manny, he came on after 63 minutes in a 1-0 loss to Nantes and played the full ninety in a 2-0 loss to Lille.

    He has no goals and one yellow card to his name thus far.
