    Swap Tadic and Boufal around, and I'd agree that's the side I would most like to see going forward (subject to what we do in January). I wouldn't play it against Chelsea, mind, but yes right now it does appeal to me in general terms.

    I want Dave Merrington to do the pre-match speech tomorrow. Those that don't know what I am on about should listen to his 'speech' on Solent after the game the other day. Inspirational, and mad :)

    Match day....some hope, but resigned.

    Off to wedding....bloody stupid time of the year to get married. Freezing day to try and look like a wedding guest and not an eskimo.

    M'lud. Proof of my client's insanity is here for all to see!

    Problem is, so am I. We need some Ron Davies spirit today. Was anyone on here at Stamford Bridge when Ron scored 4 in a 6-2 win? We went on to gloriously just miss relegation.

    Like that day Saints will shock the football world today with a result that will send shivers through every other Pl team. Excuse me, my carer wants to know if I want sugar, and two men are here in white coats. See you inside, FLT.

    Match day - going racing at Cheltenham. Try to give me something to smile about Saints, when I leave the course freezing and skint.

    Enjoy the wedding and don't spoil it by checking the score in a public place. If you do surreptitiously glance at it while the boss is doing the "Does anyone know of .. " bit and you see that Austin has completed his hat trick to put us 5-0 up, try not to shout out "Yes". That way lies embarassment

    Edit; I have just noticed a horse called Aye Aye Charlie in the 2.30. 14/1 suggests the bookies don't rate it's chances, but I don't suppose they rate ours much either. Hope, meanwhile, springs eternal.

    Fran, ignore Lambo and his ridiculous advice to not shout when Charlie gets his hat trick... when that happens, calmly push your chair back, politely ask the gentleman next to you for assistance up on to the table (via your chair), take a deep breath, spread your arms wide and scream “I love you Charlie, you sexy beast.”

    Just hope the groom isn’t called Charlie.

    I’m not a gambler (well, in terms of bookies and placing bets), but I might just step up for this one.

    Archers, there are 5 horses in that race and it is 14/1 or 16/1

    Can you check how many legs it has.

    I wasn't there Lambo,but I remember exactly where I was when I heard,it was one of those "kennedy" moments.
    Don't think a win today would compare to be honest,unless it was 6-2 I guess.

    The team I would pick would be Barcelona’s.

    Matchday and I have opted to do overtime. I

    would say it was so I was distracted from the game, but about 7 hours of being remotely connected up to fix a couple of servers at double pay the week before Xmas sold it to me ;)

    I am going for 3-5-2 with Cedric and Bertrand as wing backs. Goes to a 5-3-2, when chelsea are on the ball.

    Forster

    Stephens
    Van Dijk
    Hoedt

    Cedric
    Lemina
    Romeu
    Prowse
    Bertrand

    Austin
    Gabbiadini
