    Yeah, that's a pretty good shout. There are all the obvious great PL results but I'll make a mention in despatches of the LC results against Arsenal and Stoke. In particular, against Arsenal, we saw a classy performance where they had the ball for a lot of the match but we always looked as though we had something up our sleeve. And so it proved. Against Stoke was Graziano's wonderful goal out of nothing. He was getting everything inside the posts, instead of hitting them, during that period

    And one year already.! Here's to the next.

    Oh, and chips wissout mayonnaise is no chips, OK.

    I remember after all the uncertainty last year, and once we appointed our Ron, I just wasn't worried anymore.

    I loved watching the press conferences as there was always something of interest. The best one was when the reporters were banging on about Liverpool this and Liverpool that and Ron had to gently remind them they were there to talk about Southampton.

    Then of course, there was the football. This thread is for high points, so every single win falls into that category. Man Utd must be the best of all though.

    Thanks Ron.

    I think that was in the lead up to the Liverpool home game wasn't it? Was absolutely brilliant, he's great with the media Ron.

    "Are you the agent for Lallana and Lovren?"

    There was also the one, fairly early in the season, where Ronald and Jose were sat taking the questions and when the work had finished, Ron said... And now you... and pointed out a young lad who was in the front row. He asked him whether he wanted to be a player, manager or journalist. The young laddie answered journalist..! Everybody laughed at Ronald's reaction. :)

    It was on Youtube but seems to have disappeared.

    Oops, found it...

    If you play the embedded video, that's the one where he says we don't make parties when we win... and (edited out) we don't make sh*t when we lose.

    Ron is always very free with English swear words, I remember when we had lost a game we should have won and Jose Fonte decided to round all the players up for extra training on their day off, which meant Ronald had to go in as well. At the press conference he said "When I told my wife, she was like '**** off!'"

    Edit: it was after we knocked Arsenal out of the League Cup, prior to the QPR game, but I can't find an unedited clip.

    I have known 3, maybe 4 Dutch people quite well during my life, and not one of them was squeamish about using swear words. For them there was no taboo word, or word that one couldn't say at certain times. They swore in their everyday language. I found it both refreshing and liberating at a time when I was finding confidence in myself. That's not to say that I went around swearing like a trooper, but that I shouldn't be afraid of words. Another thing is, is that Ronald is typical of the Dutch people I have known, and they were all very easy to like.

    .... And I bet easy for people to take offence at things they said, if they didn't know them or understand their Dutchness.

    People often tell me the Dutch are arrogant, but I always correct them and tell them that they just say things as they see them, honestly.

    Agreed, and that is so refreshing in his PC's. He never blathers. He tells it like it is or says I can't talk about that now.
    Final day was pretty special and the Sunderland was just surreal!
