Just need Jose and Morgan to start in their respective matches tomorrow (and come through unscathed).
Given Graziano's hobby it would have to be -Doing The Pellè Dance [or Prance maybe] However, I think -DTLW is quite a loyal lad, so I don't expect to see a change anytime soon.
Anyone considers the potential issue for us if the Netherlands carry on as they are? It was said by De boer on Sky tonight that Koeman wanted the national job after van Gaal. They've just lost two in a row to small footballing nations; I hope they win their next 20!
Against that though, Koeman said he was here for the long term. He would not be using Saints as a stepping stone. Big words, and he would have to live up to them.
Apart from Scotland all the teams including Rep of Ireland are top or joint top of their groups! I don't think I've ever seen that before!

Well I awoke to an email from my Dutch colleague telling me he will campaign for Hiddink to be in an old people's home. Here is their record he emailed me this morning: Italy—Nederland 2—0 Czech—Nederland 2—1 Nederland—Kazachstan 3-1 in last 5 minutes only against 10m players. Iceland—Netherlands 2---0 I didn't realise they came back in last 5 against Kazakhstan, apologies, but as for scaremongering... If their results don't improve soon, this could be a very true concern
He's right: http://thepremierleagueowl.com/dismayed-by-nathaniel-clynes-lack-of-england-involvement/ And so is this one: http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/...Clyne-favour/story-23133051-detail/story.html
Koeman is still a young manager....I suspect that he won't willingly give up a chance to prove himself in the Premier League, especially as it is going well. International management is an entirely different job with no real control over players, no regular training sessions and player interaction, irregular games, and (let's not forget) a poisoned chalice. He must know he will get a chance at the Holland job sometime anyway.
Graziano Pelle (typed with an Italian accent) just interviewed on Sky. Lovely to see the strapline: Southampton and Italy. Said the usual things about result and pleased with goal, but must try harder.
The problem is that we all form an idea about a poster...likes, dislikes, jokes etc. Change your name and we start with a stranger.
