He's an idiot. He may be right occasionally, but only ever by accident. I have never known a pundit be so consistently wrong, about almost everything, pretty much all the time.
I met Merse in North end once. He was getting stopped by all and sundry but still stayed to chat to everyone. He must have already done his lucky 15s by that time. Top banana.
We're going to get stuffed 5-0 which will lull Chelsea into a false sense of security and before they know what's hit them it'll be April 22 and they will have lost to us twice. How happy clappy a view is that???
Never. Not once. I feel bad making light of his gambling problem, but he is universally recognised as being the worst gambler ever. Like, most gamblers win occasionally, even the most degenerate and hopeless ones. Not the Merse.
I'm tempted to put a cheeky bet on Southampton to win. After all, Arsenal are a bit fragile at the best of times.
Well it’s kept me going for the last 50+ years of being a Saints fan, more than our crowded trophy cabinet anyway.
If you are optimistic, you are sad once. Pessimism makes you sad all the time. I'm in between. Can see it will take a miracle and involve other teams doing their bit....instead of folding and giving our rivals 3 points (that's our job), but have accepted it. Have been through the bad bit....now just want the season to end and start planning and looking forward to next season. So I guess I am an optimistic pessimist.
