The man is a legend

There are a few good laughs in that.
Ta for the link.

8.) What's the best dream you've ever had about football?
I had a dream that I was just about to score the winning penalty in the World Cup Final. I was just about to score it - this is a dream I had as a kid - and as I was stepping up to score the winner in the World Cup Final ... my mum woke me up and I had to go to school. So I never knew if I missed it or not.

Pffft of course he scored

I thought this was something to do with the Mirror Newspaper, but the level of questions seems more like something from CBeebies. Think Mr Pardew would have been suitably embarrassed answering questions like those and rightly so.

Name of own team "The fat lazy barstad's". Superb.

Thanks for that link enjoyed it. Wonder if he still likes bingo, malibu and coke and Chesney Hawkes.

LOL - I wonder if he got paid for this? If it was to promote his book you learned more about his attitude in those 20 questions without the need to pick up his actual book that for it's content it is somewhat overpriced even if you can get it with a 7O% discount in my significantly less than professional literay opinion.

Still , what a legend the man is and we appear to have something in common in that neither of us actually hate anyone in football - even Portsmouth. That's right fellow Saints fans MLT doesn't appear to even dislike Portsmouth, what an absolute legend.

Taking Le Tiss, Fat Lazy ba5tard5, too laid back for superstitions, 10 minute rest on the medical bench before a game...statements that makes you think of the player he could have been if he had an attitude to compliment his undoubted skill.

We did learn than Beattie was quicker by 10 sec over 100m than Le Tiss and I would venture our club president at the time would have been 10 secs quicker than Le Tiss.

All very self deprecating what a guy stuff don't you think? However, hardly the spirit of a true legend and of the type we need in the game today. I prefer my legends not to have to confuse self-deprecating with self-parody as it insults the memory of the fans who supported them and not to mention it undermines their actual achievements which in MLT's case isn't as near as much as they should have been. IMO with his new found media 'style' it's not difficult to understand why he has little to show for his career in retrospect.

Now if you'll excuse me I need to go and remove the hook and finish off this morsel of bait.

The article states it was to promote Nationwide Building Society who are a major sponsor of the England Team. There was also a picture of the T-Shirt that the article is giving publicity to.

Minor detail so shouldn't stand in the way of a dig at MLT or his book

Quite right.

Is that the Nationwide like most other financial institutions who are still ripping off the Great British public IMO with mortgage rates between 3.8 - 4.7 % APR over base for FTB's even with a more than healthy 20% deposit?

Not a bad margin over 0.5% base rate is it compared to mortgage rates pre -crash? You're an intelligent man though Phil so you will know it's all about the rates banks lend to each other and will know 3 month LIBOR has been arround 0.6 -0.7 % and even 1 year Libor is at only 0.8%.

Couple that with I suspect some less than satisfcatory rates for their savers it's grand to see the Nationwide can afford to be a major sponsor of the World Cup for England. I guess potentially paying some notable ex international to promote their campaign is money well spent instead of shaving off a few percentage points off their over inflated mortgage rates and improve their customers standard of living.

Taking Le Tiss if you ask me.

Nationwide is a building society not a bank. It does not have shareholders and therefore is not profit-driven. What it can do is build up it's reserves so it can lend to more people.

I was so hoping you would see this thread's title and leave it alone...silly me, giving you a bit of credit for being man enough to step back and refuse to re-ignite your anti-Le Tiss agenda.

The paragraph I have quoted above just goes to show how twisted you are when it comes to the LEGEND (thats in caps, just for you) that is Matt.
Do you honestly believe the money he was presumably paid for this bit of promotion is even a very very small percentage of one couples mortgage on a property ?
Building Societies lend millions upon millions in mortgages each year yet somehow you take a mere droplet falling into an ocean as another side swipe involving MLT.

I was prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt and thought, due to your more rational football posts, you had come to terms with your demons....obviously not.

Oh by the way, I seem to recall you mentioning Mick Channon as one of your all time heroes. Does the fact he was often last or late out onto the pitch because he was watching the 2.50 at Kempton Park not leave him open for your sly digs ? You may care to explain how thats nowhere near as bad as lying on a medical couch for 10 mins before kick off

I and no doubt like many, including you, didn't/don't need to read his book to learn of his attitude, that was learnt through watching him, his unique style was evident for all to see which contributed to his greatness on the field, it came natural to him, others could have spent years on the training field and never be able to do the things he could, fitness may have improved part of his game but being fitter would not have made the very many goals any better imo, could there have been more of them if he was the athlete you would have liked him to be ? who knows, I know this much.....we had our fair share.

"What team do you have an irrational hatred of?
Funnily enough I don't have an irrational hatred of anyone, I'm quite balanced really. I know everyone in Southampton tends to dislike Portsmouth, but I come from Guernsey so it was Jersey that I didn't like when I was growing up."

Irrational hatred was the question and a sensible answer was given.

lol... He does have an air of "Disgruntled of Chandlers Ford" about him doesn't he?
I do wish people wouldn't quote his crap, some of us have the prat on ignore and are blissfully unaware that he's droning on and on about Matt again and again...
yawn...
