Turned @Sexy Beast's email notifications on in case anyone has any messages for him. GET THE FUCK IN! P.S. Booked my train at half-time because despite the goal, it was clear that Southampton were fucking sheeeeeeite.

Is it fuck

Southampton fans feeling how we’ve felt for about 20 years in these sorts of games. Out-pundited and it’s all about the other cunts. It’s fucking great.

We can’t lose to a 5-3-2

As minor as it seems, I hope everything pre-match hits the right note and all the timings, etc. are sound. With Schak playing and Gordon/Ashby being introduced, there's a natural lead-in to a proper bouncing atmosphere in the immediacy before the players walk out and then as they do walk out. Would be nice to have O Fortuna and Local Hero in sync for the first time in weeks.

We'll have 27, as we'll surely register Gillespie and Krafth now.

This would be my hope, as well. Could serve as a proper "entry" walkway to the stadium site and be used as a fanzone with entertainment, etc.

Apologies if you've already outlined it somewhere else, but what would you do with that land if the club did buy it? I've been watching the flow of supporters through it on the way in and out of games this season, and it seems like such a missed opportunity by the club to have done something with it already.

Sounds class, that. Hope you enjoy the match!

The chicken man? Whaddya reckon?

Howay, Proph. Ornstein's entire timeline?

"Chelsea are accused of having played youngsters -- most of them kids on trial -- in their youth teams without registering them. FIFA rules state that they need to have the requisite paperwork, even though the football association, which not coincidentally has also been found to be in breach, have rather more relaxed rules, which is why they are likely to join Chelsea in their appeal." A €10M fine is the worst punishment to date for FFP. €10M. For PSG. They're paying £645M a year in wages.

The FFP stuff is such nonsense, man. What's the worst penalty PSG have had? A €10M fine?

Between a 5 and 6 for me, too.

Where you at now? 6?

Dan Ashworth and Lee Charnley.

Straight in for the medical. Good efficiency.

Man Utd and Chelsea in for Sabitzer.

Does Jones do "sitting in"? I thought his style was all about being unafraid to turn the ball over, counter-pressing, and being quite direct?

He’d fit in really well there and they do need a refresh in those creative midfield roles.

I'd still like us to bring a decent CM in, mind, not saying I don't want us to replace Shelvey in the squad. Just don't think it's as dire as is being made out.

You said "an injury"*, which is a massive over-exaggeration. Longstaff is perfectly capable of playing deeper, for one. There'd probably need to be another four injuries to midfielders for Schär to be considered there. Shelvey's played 34 minutes in the league this season and hasn't made a start. Even if he isn't replaced we're basically where we've been all year.

Deadline day sends people proper loopy.

What an unprofessional turd.

Tommy's fucking magic, he's Seany Longstaff's cat. He pisses on the spare bed, but Sean said don't do that.
