Did the top scorers from the weekend all predict us to lose? Just want to double check before I ban them 4-0 Moura x2, Kane x2
We can't all live in your Disneyised version of the weekend results - us to always win, rivals to always lose. If I had a magic wand.....
The Booking never elapses anyway, so I must have a free shot every now and again. To make a change I let NKNG have it this time.
Rather later in the day than usual, but I’ve been unwell for a week (not going to the game tonight, although I had a ticket!), and this was quite a complicated bit of rewriting! The Hughes/Saints marriage seemed doomed from the start – simply not the right man for that club – so the sacking came as no surprise. Nor is the Southampton board’s record on manager turnover in any sense an impressive one. It feels as if there have been fifty managers, each one leaving in different circumstances. That’s when Paul Simon’s masterpiece came into my head! I don't see us doing the sensational bounce-bck thingy (too knackered, nmost of them, I imagine) but we're surely too strong for Southampton at this time. 50 Ways to Leave Southampton The problem is all inside their heads, It seems to me - The answer is easy if you Take it logically: The Saints have got a suicidal Tendency! There must be fifty ways To leave Southampton! I’d add, it's really not my habit to intrude Furthermore, I hope my bias Won't be lost or misconstrued - But this was not a shock When his record is reviewed. There must be fifty ways To leave Southampton - Fifty ways to leave Southampton! You just get off the park, Mark! Don’t take it hard, Pards. I know it seemed cruel, Puel (But just look at Poch!) Don’t linger on, Ron - You didn’t do much wrong. Just leave and oblige, Nige - You can earn more dosh. (repeat) You know it grieves me so To see the Saints in pain: I wish I could help my dad’s old team To make them play again. So, Mark, you’re not the first to go - And let me please explain About the fifty ways. You know, we shall all see Spurs win on Wednesday night, And I believe in the morning Saints might start to see the light. And then I nodded, And I realized I probably was right: There must be fifty ways To beat Southampton - Fifty ways to beat Southampton! Score one of those, Rose. Make plenty of links, Winks. Help Tott’n’am go higher, Dier. Back in the top four. Just try to get one, Son – You always have such fun! Just do it again, Kane. CL class once more! Prediction: Spurs 2 Southampton 0 Scorers: Kane, Rose Cheers, Spurf! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Of the 24 managers that have passed through Southampton's gates since the turn of the century, the following few are referred to in this song: Mark Hughes Alan Pardew Claude Puel Mauricio Pochettino Ronald Koemann Nigel Pearson/ Nigel Adkins (I chickened out on Pellegrini!) I did contemplate inserting an extra stanza based on “Sparky”’s list of clubs - as a player: Man U, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Southampton, Everton, Blackburn; and as a manager: Wales, Blackburn, Man City, Fulham, QPR, Stoke, Southampton. But I ran out of time. And energy! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brilliant audrey as always, and I like this song as well, get well soon and thanks for doing it when you don't feel great
Was going to be a nice easy win and prediction until they had to go and get a new manager just before playing us-and that is after they got a draw against Man. Utd! With Ward-Prowse in their team ( and our terrible defending from set pieces ) they will definitely get a set piece goal or two. So how about a reversal ? Or a scrappy 1-0? Go with the former.... Spurs 4 - 2 Southampton Kane, Lucas, Son and Kane. Thank you COYS
Spurs 5 - 1 Soton Kane (2), Son, Lucas, Dele Haven’t a clue why I’m so optimistic, but what the hell COYS!! Cheers Spurf!
