I love this man. His face when asked about Pochettino's comments was a picture. "Yes that's why I came to Southampton, for an easy job, a bit of a holiday."
Is it possible to love Ronald any more? I came here because of Mauricio...I wanted the easy life and a holiday.
So we are awaiting a work permit for Filip, but Ron told this morning that Djucicic will probably be here tomorrow.
Phew, I'm glad that press conference extracted the gold nugget of info that the club doctor is in charge of the cafeteria selection and Koeman hasn't banned mayonnaise!
Can't blame the media...they just want something they can use to lighten their copy or use as soundbites.
One comment - Staplewood has had some nice touches since I was last there. Quite a few big photos of Markus have been put up. At Wembley, in his office, overseeing his factory production line etc. And his scarf is up, as I think most have seen.
Definitely not a short term signing then! DTLW, did you enjoy your trip? Any plans to return this season?
I did, was very good. Had a chat with a couple of the Saints media guys and some of the other reports. Heard some interesting stuff! (under embargo) So can't share for now. Also found out some interesting/scary stuff about Cortese, and also his relations with Nigel.
Hope Merson gets his predictions right this week. Draws for Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs, defeat for Man Utd and a 2-1 win for us.
Chips are best with a large portion of battered cod after another Saints victory on a Saturday in my opinion.
