I almost missed this story. Didn't get why another Conte going to Stamford Bridge was news.
Apparently, he's an even bigger one than Mourinho. Hard to imagine. Wonderful hair. I wonder who it once belonged to?

You should be annoyed with the pillock that left the clause in that allowed Atletico to cancel the transfer for £1.5m.
You do use a lot of words don't you?
****ed if I'm reading all that.

The guy was called Rupert and he bankrupted you after hiring a bunch of crap managers that got you relegated.Obviously I'm annoyed with my own club as well, for allowing themselves to be mugged off. By a bunch of "North London yobboes", as a former Saints chairman once described you. We had the last laugh on that occasion - this time I fear we probably won't.
... what Ranieri actually said was that he only wanted 'happy' players at the club ... his next comment was that Kante is very happy ... always smiling. ..![]()
That would annoy me, to be fair!It's a strange feeling knowing more about a club than their own fans, isn't it PNP?
It's the equivalent of us being furious with Irving Scholar for letting Ledely King move to Arsenal on a Bosman, with manager Arthur Rowe seeking to make amends by signing Federico Fazio from Southampton as his replacement.

That would annoy me, to be fair!
A Southampton fan bringing up something that Rupert Lowe said does seem odd though, doesn't it?
Ruined them for years. They've only just got back to where they were now, pretty much.
Relegated twice, having to watch Pompey win a trophy at the time and with the manager that sent them down.
Painful crap, yet they seem to hold it against us, for some reason. Weird.
He can't have. He left Arsenal to join a foreign side to complete his career. You must be mistaken.It must be due to the fact that Spurs legend and erudite politician Sol Campbell captained Pompey to victory at Wembley that day. I completely understand their anger.

It doesn't bother me, I just find it a bit odd.Oh I dunno - coming back from League1 to the PL in successive seasons, winning the Johnstones Paint Trophy on the way. It actually hasn't been a bad few years following our spectacular collapse.
It's just a bit galling to return to the top flight only to have our manager poached by spurs again. All would of course be forgiven if Pochettino's spurs career turns out as well as Glenn Hoddle's did, but as I say, I don't see that happening.
In the meantime you will continue to be the club many Saints fans love to hate. I'm surprised that bothers you so much, but clearly it does. I take comfort from that.
Could you shorten that sentence so our visitor from the South coast can follow it please.I have no problem with other fans hating us. It's when that hatred stems from events that apparently took place in a parallel universe that I find it all a bit peculiar, that's all.
I don't think the second was a penalty (although someone seems to). Mind you, if you were playing a SAF ManU team at Old Trafford - they would have got that as a penalty!
It's the inconsistency problem again and again. As long as there is any element of subjective decision making to be made then humans are fallible to outside influences (or incompetence!) I disagree with the suggestion that all handballs in the box are penalties, as was said it would lead to players deliberately flicking the ball onto the opposition's arms. It's got to be another case for the video ref surely? A senior ref who is somewhere else in the ground and not subject to the same influences. He gets 5 seconds (maybe 10?) to decide to overrule the on the field ref. If he can't decide in that time the original decision stands. It's a role for refs that are too old for field duties, but have great experience.

Alienating Cortese did for Pochettino and he stated as much at the time. That's not on us.
Arsenal and Liverpool seem to have taken more of your players, too.
Just looks a bit weird from our perspective.
It's about Pochettino really. He strung us along. Repeat that quote about how he said would leave if Cortese did if you like; fact is, after Cortese did leave, he had the club convinced he was going to sit down in the summer and discuss a new contract. When he left, that was the cue for half the squad to start heading for the exit.
Also, your club, unlike the others who have taken players from us, have been quite underhand in their dealings. There is something of the night about your chairman; if you don't believe me ask a West Brom fan.
