Yes, you do, and I do, and so do significant others, but there's a perception that Ralph is a bit of a gasbag and people have a little chuckle occasionally under their breath [witness the Fan's Forum twitter comment]. As far as I'm concerned he can talk for as long he wants. He's perfect for the club at the present stage of development.

Oh ok. Maybe a little bit sensitive TSS? I like Ralph but I'm also happy to joke about his use of lots of words. I haven't a bad word to say about him, but I'll have a light hearted moment about his numerous words and his self help, motivational style speeches (man after my own heart by the way :))

Maybe. Just so long as we appreciate him in equal measure.
When he first turned up we were all in post-Cortese mood and wondering what the hell this Canadian/German Ice Hockey bloke who called SFC the Southampton Saints was going to do. But he was an extremely quick learner who was definitely a nice bloke and he meant well, even though he seemed not to have a clue what he was on about, because he talked in such generalities. He was certainly feeling his way.

Nowadays he's tightened up his subject considerably. He now knows exactly what he's here for [even he doubted that] and he's got a great handle on it now. For example, the Southampton Saints are now correctly referred to as The Saints [and it's not just a name, it's who we are - his words]. We're not just one of several Saints teams in the world, we are The Saints team. That might seem unimportant to some but it's a heck of a promotional tool. He's seen the importance that if Manchester are the United team, when others can be a United team, he's getting the word around that there's only one true Saints team. It's what he's here for and I suspect he's actually bloody good at it.

There is one word I would use to describe Ralph and it is the thing I Really like about him, above all else.

POSITIVITY
 
Pelle has hinted that he would like to return to Italy when his contract expires in 18 months.

We're going to need to sell him in the Summer then or we risk him going on a free. He's been immediately linked to Juventus.

Virgil praising Clasie and suggesting he can be better than Morgan. Be good if he was. :)

I remember the lame reaction I had when Koeman said he'd be getting Clasie in to replace Schneiderlin. I knew he came with a reputation but I didn't think such a physically different player could have such good potential. After watching him play in the last couple of games I can see it now. He's a little tiger who can spray the ball about very nicely indeed as well.
