Apparently, he's an even bigger one than Mourinho. Hard to imagine. Wonderful hair. I wonder who it once belonged to?
Obviously I'm annoyed with my own club as well, for allowing themselves to be mugged off. By a bunch of "North London yobboes", as a former Saints chairman once described you. We had the last laugh on that occasion btw - this time I fear we probably won't.
The guy was called Rupert and he bankrupted you after hiring a bunch of crap managers that got you relegated. Not sure that was something for you to be laughing about, to be honest.
It's a strange feeling knowing more about a club than their own fans, isn't it PNP? It's the equivalent of us being furious with Irving Scholar for letting Ledely King move to Arsenal on a Bosman, with manager Arthur Rowe seeking to make amends by signing Federico Fazio from Southampton as his replacement.
He's soooo happy that he still refuses to commit his future to Leicester. Whether you want to bury your head in the sand or not, the reality is that the wolves will be circling for him and probably Mahrez... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-target-ngolo-kante-refuses-7654767
That would annoy me, to be fair! A Southampton fan bringing up something that Rupert Lowe said does seem odd though, doesn't it? Ruined them for years. They've only just got back to where they were now, pretty much. Relegated twice, having to watch Pompey win a trophy at the time and with the manager that sent them down. Painful crap, yet they seem to hold it against us, for some reason. Weird.
It must be due to the fact that Spurs legend and erudite politician Sol Campbell captained Pompey to victory at Wembley that day. I completely understand their anger.
Of course. My mistake, He went to Atletico Madrid and helped them to successive La Liga titles alongside young Southampton trainee Toby Alderweireld, born and bred just off the M3 in Eastleigh.
Oh I dunno - coming back from League1 to the PL in successive seasons, winning the Johnstones Paint Trophy on the way. It actually hasn't been a bad few years following our spectacular collapse. It's just a bit galling to return to the top flight only to have our manager poached by spurs again. All would of course be forgiven if Pochettino's spurs career turns out as well as Glenn Hoddle's did, but as I say, I don't see that happening. In the meantime you will continue to be the club many Saints fans love to hate. I'm surprised that bothers you so much, but clearly it does. I take comfort from that.
It doesn't bother me, I just find it a bit odd. Alienating Cortese did for Pochettino and he stated as much at the time. That's not on us. Arsenal and Liverpool seem to have taken more of your players, too. Just looks a bit weird from our perspective.
I have no problem with other fans hating us. It's when that hatred stems from events that apparently took place in a parallel universe that I find it all a bit peculiar, that's all.
How would a video ref help in situations like these? We have all seen countless replays, and it's been 24 hours, and we still can't agree on whether it was a penalty or not
It's about Pochettino really. He strung us along. Repeat that quote about how he said would leave if Cortese did if you like; fact is, after Cortese did leave, he had the club convinced he was going to sit down in the summer and discuss a new contract. When he left, that was the cue for half the squad to start heading for the exit. Also, your club, unlike the others who have taken players from us, have been quite underhand in their dealings. There is something of the night about your chairman; if you don't believe me ask a West Brom fan.
How many times?! WE HAVEN'T TAKEN ANY FOOKING PLAYERS FROM YOU I need a double on the rocks, bloody hell.
