There is a reason my username is as it is. This guy will be off playing for a top, top team in the future. He could be the difference between top 10 and not being top 10 this season in my opinion. As a side note, anyone who watched the game will see why we wanted Pardew. Having gone a goal down, there is no way we would have fought back (the stats would definitely point to a roll over) and the football was a marked improvement. I'm pleased because Southampton are a better team/squad than us and this can only be seen as a positive. Obertan and Haidara and Championship level though
The frightening thing is that during pre-season you could tell he had settled straight in. Never mind, break a leg Gini
