    As luck would have it, this popped up in my Facebook memories today from 2015 - as it's deadline day.

    TBH managing Saints in the next FM, although fun, will be no challenge at all. <laugh>

    Given we tend to play Spanish teams in pre-season friendlies can we please, please play Girona next pre-season to give Oriol the send off he deserves.

    Actually, no. The World Cup break. Teams have been authorised to arrange friendlies so that would be ideal.

    All of our players would come back injured from the "friendly".

    Thank you sir, you were a vital rock in our midfield. Ever reliable and doing the hard graft magnificently.

    And thank you for the lovely message. A lesson to other footballers; That is how to leave a club properly.

    I look forward to seeing you again in 20 years during a half-time Saints Legend interview. Probably won't be able to hear you through the PA system, but that's another story!

    Was right behind the goal at Wembley vs Man Utd, when his header, at 2-2, seemed to hang in the air for an age; destined for the net but somehow...no, over and wide by inches. I can still see the expression on Oriel's face - hope, disappointment, but not a trace of despair. God, we deserved to win that day, but God had other ideas...

    Are you sure it wasn't birthday cake? Seriously though it did to me too.
