    It shouldn't take neutral spanish supporters to show you what a joke of a sacking Adkins was. However the fact that even they say it is puzzling says it all.

    This comment made me laugh "I wish him well as a parrot that is."

    All neutrals find it puzzling, all rivals think its great.
    Cortese is either a genius, or this is going to end so painfully bad, we'll have forgotten all about the good times very shortly.

    If I'm not mistaken, their fans are "the parrots". As we are "the Saints" they are "the Parrots".

    So, they wish him well as Espanyol fans.

    Was talking to an Aussie branch of Espanyol fans online. They believe Pochettino is a great man and will do very well here.

    Very good at organising his teams on how to defend, and how to play without the football.

    Also they say he took 14/15 points away from Barcelona under Guardiola - more than any other manager.

    The more I hear about MP, the more positive I am beginning to feel about it.

    I just hope the language barrier isn't too big; in his interview on Friday he seemed to speak with enthusiasm and passion but the interpreter was almost monotonic!

    Agree, I don't know loads of Spanish but I have studied it and could understand a fair bit of what Pochettino was saying.

    The comments by Flash at the end of the video are a bit annoying but Mina Rzouki does a lot of La Liga coverage and clearly speaks highly of him.

    Interesting video. Makes me feel positive too...and some fans were calling for us to play a more 'aggressive' football. And I like the bit about starting from the defence, which is what Nigel had turned to after our attacking style left us too open.

    Luke Shaw's has now tweeted - "Great to meet the new gaffer today. hard first session but good fun ! Now excited for Monday's game and hope the fans support us as ever !"

    Probs a bit worried that NC saw his "LOL confused" tweet before! Even so, positive stuff.

    'Confused' was actually quite a good thing for a simple lad to say...offended nobody.

    Thanks, yes I noticed the FA on his jacket. At least we have a training team in place.

    I see the mighty Arsenal couldn't match our result against Chelsea! The lost 1 - 2.
