It was quite embarrassing actually (to my other half) and was a few years ago. I was at a friends house and HR's granddaughter was playing with their kid - (they must have been around 10 or 11). My friends kid said to the girl (who for the life of me i can't remember the name) "Oh he hates your grandad." I tried to explain it nicely to the kid that I didn't hate him, as I didn't know him, but was unhappy that he had relegated us and gone back to Pompey. Mrs No7 was with me and HR himself came to pick up his granddaughter (It was Mark's kid I think from memory) and his granddaughter said "He doesn't like you grandad and thinks you are a traitor" (or similar) I then said "I am sure you are a nice bloke, but it will take a while for me to get over you relegating us and then gong back to Pompey" I then started asking him (well telling him) if it was deliberate and did Milan Mandaric pay him to do it lol. Mrs No7 was mortified.
I don't think they will, but if West Ham lose tonight then I won't cry at Tom's suggestion of us losing 5-6 with Ings scoring all five.
Funnily enough a number of years later my daughter was at her then boyfriends parents house in Sandbanks and his parents had HR over for dinner. She said during dinner that I would think she is a traitor having dinner with him as a joke and said I had met him at my friends house a few years earlier. He remembered! lol
excellent- would have been so much better if the kid had said to him, “He thinks you’re a dirty skate b’stard”
That’s delightful I want them to stay up now We can still beat them and they can beat Everton and then we’ll be 11th
Did he reply? To be fair, my hate for him has less end massively since he was on im a celebrity. He came across as a proper legend. Reckon he's actually one of the nice guys in football.
I think you’ll find he’s quite high on Godders list of hate I bet his appearance on I’m a Sleb only got him higher And as for Arry’s Eroes
Some things you just don’t do and Harry crossed the line with what he did. I’ve always likened it to someone walking out on Arsenal and going down the road to Spurs to relegate them and then going back to Arsenal. I know we as Saints fans would love this scenario but that aside, it just shows how wrong he was to do what he did.
Both teams are going to be up for this one, that’s a given. I think a lot will come down to our press pinning them back and whether or not they decide to go long and try to get between/behind the CBs, as Everton did in the second half, and for their goal, at Goodison. It would be great if we can start as quickly as West Ham did yesterday, and force them to throw caution to the wind, leaving gaps to be exploited.
I think they have to go for it, we can be compact and press and counter. We don't have to win, they pretty much do as they wont wish to leave it to chance in their game at Everton.
I hope that Harry Wilson doesn’t dive about like he did the other night.....how he never got booked was embarrassing.
Desperate as they are, we are so good going forward at the moment. They will have to come at us at some point, so there will be space to exploit. With Danny and the team in the mood, I think we'll win, but can deal with it if we don't.
He was very calm, friendly and tried to make a small joke of it. Dare I say it, even at the time quite likeable. My dislike too for him has waned over the years, and I’m a Celebrity did let us see another side to him.
