I am one well pleased francophile this morning. I hope L'Equipe have picked this up. We always knew this boy would be special, and he's shown us his true self this season. Oh and Mauricio says away fans are "crazy" so that's official then. Those of us who have ever travelled with the Saints know the truth of this - best fans in the world. Feel proud to be a Saint this morning. Coffee and croissants anyone?
As they sing in La Marseillaise Allons enfants de la patrie, Le jour de gloire est arriv They knew about Morgan even then.
Conversely, the same can be said the other way round. I'm fluent in Spanish and can assure you that his translator doesn't relly get MP's points across in the interview. It's very much over-simplified!
Great to see Terry Paine there. We often criticise Cortese for not acknowledging Saints' history but he is the first chairman to officially recognise Paine's contribution to the club.

Because if it's a question of scholar rather than young player, it's obviously more rounded than just on-pitch achievements, so it's not too hard to work out.
Looking at this picture you can see that James has been a well brought up boy. The right shirt and tie, just the right amount of cuff showing, well groomed and at ease. He could be a famous film star - the next James Bond maybe if he can keep his hair. His mum should be proud. As for Morgan and Jason they both look uncomfortable and out of place. Whoever measured Morgan for that jacket needs retraining or perhaps a different career.
Hence the flood of correct calls on here before the award - of course, nothing's hard to work out with the benefit of hindsight! That's why so many posters on here 'almost' win money on countless bets, cos they were going to put money down on what is after the fact quite an 'obvious' scoreline. I know it was a tongue in cheek post by Jake, though. I don't really get the point of the award, anyway - we're a football club, not a university.
