I'm certain this would have been mentioned on here before but everyone should check out The Ugly Inside on twitter and youtube (link below). They're a good group of lads and do our own version of Arsenal TV post match. (One guy didn't hold back after yesterdays match) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD...Tnvi7Fm9Uc&annotation_id=annotation_136989655
Who's ready for the most pointless article on Claude Puel (and his wife)? http://sportwitness.co.uk/puel-says-southampton-proving-challenging-wife/
I like the part where he says Southampton reminds him of Monaco because of the cruise ships. Must be the only time anyone has compared Ocean Village to Monaco.
I don't find it pointless, it says a lot about his mindset, and I have a bit of sympathy for his lot. Being friendless in a foreign country isn't what I would want to be.
I'd hope though that after living in a country for the best part of 6 months, I would know one or two people that I could call friends. And I'd consider myself a very shy person.
One of the biggest football crimes ever. Matched only by taking Dodds corner goal against the skates away from him
Anyone see this on Saints Web? It's from a poster called 'View from the Top' I don't the history of this poster but this is what was posted (I was just searching for any crumbs of information really, being retired and having rest from ice-hockey graphic creating for an hour or so): [You] can take or leave what you're about to read as bull or not I'm just simply passing on what I've been told. I have no contacts at Saints, none, they all retired long ago, but I do have friends that work at PL clubs in the Midlands and NW, in non playing/coaching roles but involved with players to a lesser or greater extent. It's from them this comes. Their record is good as they told me, and I posted on here, weeks in advance, of the Shaw amd Morgan deals. I'm guessing gossip travels quickly around clubs as players tend to mix in tight circles. There was, apparently, a huge bust up after the WBA game, in which senior pros let rip at both Puel and Black, accusing them of being clueless and not up to the job. It almost came to punches being thrown. Some senior pros have told the club, either sort it out, which I assume means get rid of Puel, or the players will leave and some have already instructed agents to see what's available elsewhere. This is perhaps where the Long to WBA or Long to WHU stuff has come from that's been in the press, but I'm just guessing at that. As a result the Chairman had to speak to the players en-mass before the Everton game (I don't know if this means on the day of the game or before they travelled). During and after the Everton game players ignored the manager and Black was told, in no uncertain terms, where to get off by 2 internationals in the changing room. All this in the presence of the chairman. Now I cannot say for certain this is what has happened only that it's the gossip doing the rounds up here. I'm not one for changing managers mid-season but if even some of what has been said is true then Puel is in trouble. As I've said, take it or leave it, call it bull, but it's what I've been told today.
