Yep, that's the sad truth. Actually I might change that first question in the half hour we have with them FLT to "okay, each of you in turn tell me what Southampton Football Club is".
Haha, I've never thought it was any benefit to have our players called up other than to prove they don't need to move away to get international recognition. **** that theory. I hope our players never get recognised again. Sack that **** Hodgson and get in Carlos Managaball.
The perfect storm...World Cup selections, chairman & manager leaving, 8th place finish (see Alain Pardeux's recent comments).
The only good thing about Saints players being selected for the World Cup is that it only happens every 4 years.
I'd place a big bet that we will have at least 3 in the next WC squad. Clyne, Gallagher, Reed, JWP. Could be more
Problem is, the way the Premiership Establishment eye up our youth players, they'll probably be playing for someone else then.
