    But that argument consistently proves to be correct. If we keep expecting players and managers to put the club's interests before their own, we'll keep being shocked when they fail to do so.

    2+2= 4 just for once in our favour would be grand thank you.

    Now I could. Love him to bits, but he doesn't have natural charm and charisma and in my shallow mind, that would make me a little wary.

    A smile and a wink and I'm yours :)

    Did anyone actually see Koeman get on a plane?
    Has he really gone on holiday, or is he being planted under the centre circle, as Dutch fertiliser, to help the new pitch grow?
    We'll know for sure if the ball keeps rolling off the centre spot, next season, as a result of the grass lying the wrong way.

    By my reckoning, yesterday.

    French TV channel iTelé are reporting that Unai Emery will be the new PSG manager after having talks with the club's board.

    Billy, don't be a hero...

    Oops, sorry my mind went off then as I started typing! I'll start it again.

    Billy, you are perfectly correct, but this is football, I'm a football fan and when things go against my club, a flick switches and I leave the real world behind.

    Bollocks to him. He's a lying, cheating greedy twat.

    :)

    It's our non-reality world. It's where our dreams are lived out. It isn't normal.

    Oh, I'll probably fall for the same ****e from the next one too... It's my dream world.

    Maybe the extension talks gave rise to all this and it became mutually agreeable to part now rather than next year?
    Maybe Ron hasn't stitched us up.#
    Maybe I'm still trying to believe that some people in football can still manage to tell the truth.
    I'm just saying ... maybe.

    I read this, and then read the comments after Google translate had done its thing.
    This was my favourite, and struck a chord with me...

    I find that Koeman has developed a hyphenated name as I can hardly mention it without adding 'bastard.' Apart from that, he is the past and we have a sunny future. As long as he has the good manners to crash and burn, all will be well.

    Back from Geordie land....love their accents....they are hardly bitter at all. :)

    Ha, you're totally correct of course, but I am usually fairly level headed as well as a footie fan, as well as understand how things work in general business practice, maybe that's why I see it this was.

    Oh, it's Stuart btw; Billy is my alter ego for when I get really pissed off !!!

    You said
    So you blamed people for believing someone . I took the extreme example that if no one believed in anyone then our society would crumble.
    Obviously an old fat ginger bloke breaking a football contract does not spell the end of humanity and I don't think anyone is stopping him from going or doing what he chooses.

    However, he chose to make promises to Southampton and its supporters and built himself up as some kind of last bastion of trust and decency in this corrupt and greedy football world.

    I'm sure there has been a wide range of different emotions amongst saints fans to Rons departure, but I guarantee we all share one thing and that's a loss of respect.

    There's always a song whatever your name..

    "You know what Stuart?
    I like you
    You're not like the other people
    Here in the trailer park/forum"

    Always a song

    Absolutely correct...the person at fault is the liar...it isn't those who believed him when he spoke plainly and clearly so as not to be misunderstood. He even had the nerve to distance himself from Mauricio in a press conference as if he was a superior being.

    Mate, agree with your comment about being allowed to change your mind. Absolutely, we live in an ever changing world.

    There is stuff where it's ok to change your mind and other stuff that's not so cool. If my wife changed her mind about marrying me because some multi millionaire scouser came along, that would be a cop out and I would have a right to be aggrieved.
    Ok this is a bit dramatic but this was a kind of footballing marriage, where someone has had 2 years of total support in which time that person has constantly rung the loyalty bell, selling those values only to jump ship at the first opportunity.

    And he jumped not when we were doing badly, but when we could have been entering one of our most interesting seasons. He was pretty bloody happy with our recent form and the end of season frolics. I still don't know how he could do such a rapid volte face....suspect he must have had two faces all the time.
