Wishing him a full and speedy, as possible, recovery.

My favourite episodes are the ones where Semmens, Steele, Blackmore, Jim the Kitman, Pete the Groundsman and Doris the Tea Lady are all unmasked as Eric Black. 🙂

5. They get to pay Ralph a lot less in compensation, if we are in the bottom 3, when they fire him? 6. Our xGA has improved, meaning that Ralph is meeting his key deliverable. 7. SR, in not getting in a striker, feel complicit in the failure and are showing loyalty to Ralph regardless.

The atmosphere at the Milan Vs Chelsea game sounded intense. Not intense enough to keep me from reading, rather than listening to the second half on the radio though.

I'd need to see one of our players having one, to see how much interest I had. 🙂

Not getting the striker he wanted will be familiar territory for him. Not getting a striker at all will be something new for him to look forward to. 🙂

Once again, lip reading pays off... Pep: I didn't see Nathan today. Ralph: We moved him on. Pep: What?! Your country's Thierry Henry?! And you let him go?! Ralph: He was having defective independent thoughts. His lack of obedience to automatisms, could have resulted in a shot on goal attempt, leaving us weaker at the back. Pep: Oooookay... so where do I have to contact to arrange a swap deal for Grealish? Ralph: He's of no use without blind obedience to failing tactics! It's better he's in Turkey. Pep: Not the only turkey round here...

🙂 I felt it was a waste of a copy and paste when I noticed where it came from, only as I was doing it. 🙂

From the Beeb gossip page, taken from the mail. Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl's position is uncertain and the south coast club are looking at former RB Leipzig manager Domenico Tedesco and Manchester City assistant boss Enzo Maresca as possible candidates to replace the Austrian. (Mail)

From the Beeb gossip page... Leeds have agreed personal terms with Cody Gakpo and are now working on a fee with PSV Eindhoven for the 23-year-old Dutch winger who had also interested Manchester United.(Mirror

Was that a satyrical reply? 🙂

Sequel

There's just no future in a nostalgia thread. 🙂 Now that's out my system, nearly all my Saints stuff is in my parents loft. I've definitely not got the horrid Dimplex one with the v at the top. Just a pile of hagiography books round here somewhere.

There's a joke in there about at least Amazon can be counted on to deliver something, but I'm not making it. 🙂

Our performances don't deserve upper case. 🙂

If it's anything like their list of potential strikers they'd have liked to have brought in, Ralph could be here for ages. 🙂
