Sorry, just been thinking about the black box, and imagined Gareth Bale ringing Les and saying he wants to come home, and would only ever consider playing for Cardiff or Saints. And we turn him down because the Black Box says "no". Think outside the box, people.
Listen fella, there's one for you in the corner by the juke box, long grey hair, wrinkled suit and a face to match. Answers to the name of Manny. Jog on ...
I was going to use a similar analogy with Messi, but no.. Bale is a far better one. Agreed. PS. What have you heard? Is this happening?
You can sign my name to it, too. Thank goodness I've had Wales to keep me occupied and cheerful during this long wait...
As good an example as this, would there ever be a situation where we would rep seriously reject bale given the chance to sign him?
Then again, if we made an early announcement that he was coming and then something happened to stop him from coming Les and Co would be crucified!
Its Manchester - The Smiths - "This charming man" So we are Southampton and it will have to be "did fitness on a monday, team had a rest on tuesday, cardio and tactics on a wednesday and on thursday and friday and saturday we played on Sunday"
You mean Les makes a statement. Les gets crucified! Les says nothing. Les is getting crucified. Yep, that's about right

I much perfeer a quiet Les, whenever he makes a statment the complete oppisite is the most likely outcome.
For everyone of you, there's one that wants communication and statements. That's been proved just on this forum. He really can't win.
The club does its business quietly occasionally leaking the odd bit of info to the press thats fine by me. I like the big build up and waiting game adds to the tension.
There's no need to write red tops' sports leaders for them for goodness sake. Honestly if I was Manuel Pellegrini and I saw who you compared me with I'd take the effort to track you down...
It's ok Billy. Wait til she has to scream hatred at Steven Davis in the next round, when he bags the winner
