    It does. He was second-generation money, though, which often produces dinguses of the highest order, but also means that you didn't need to crush so many people on the way up.

    You could say that!

    On another note, it would be interesting for the restaurants at St Mary's to serve up.Serbian food.

    My statement began with an "if" so I did not say they were actually out of the same peapod!

    But why does the nationality of one of the 3 main protagonists actually matter?

    If he is friends with Djokovic, there could well be a media circus at St Mary's should Djoko be a guest of honour.

    I was thinking more in terms of personality than anything else. You are right to correct me for stereotyping certain people. Must not fall into.that trap.again!!

    Not quite true, but a good 'un!

    I think that the take-over can only be good news. I don't think that the club has been badly managed recently but the new owners will probably invest sensibly to ensure that we maintain an even keel. There will not be nay reckless spending and I think Adam Blackmore summarised the situation perfectly on Radio Solent yetserdya afternoon. I would like to think Semmens will remain on board and that Ralph is given sufficient financial back up to fulfil his potential.

    So Im not the only one making pathetic stereotypical comments about Serbians. A bit like saying all old blokes are miserable old gits. I think I am on stronger ground with that one.‍♂️
