@SouthamptonFC: Happy 42nd birthday to @SouthamptonFC manager Mauricio Pochettino! Feliz cumpleaños, Mauricio! #saintsfc http://t.co/JMKLsAO1Ye

And a good reaction to a troll is to ignore their baiting questions...

Good trolls are adept at staying just below the moderation radar. Starting a thread with "I know I'll be called a troll...but..." is a textbook deflection technique...as is playing the persecution card...

Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen Good on Defoe saying farewell to Spurs fans. A nasty cold stopped him waving bye to #Pompey fans. Kept him from being FA cup-tied too. Darren Box ‏@darrenbox @pn_neil_allen blokes a **** Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen @darrenbox Can’t possibly disagree! Bloomers ‏@Bloomerz1 @pn_neil_allen complete tosser Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen @Bloomerz1 Spot on!

Sounds like it would be a shame if someone tagged @IAmJermainDefoe on a re-tweet then....?

Mine...

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC Mauricio Pochettino says Jos Hooiveld and @VictorWanyama the only fitness concerns ahead of the @LFC game. Both being assessed. #saintsfc

Temporarily. Speculate to accumulate. We might get more out of MS in the long run if he's playing for France. All hypothetical musings of course

Here's a lateral thinking idea..... How about we loan him to a club that's going to get him on the French national team radar and include a clause in the loan agreement that triggers a recall to Saints once he's established himself in the French side.... everyone's a winner....

It's a fine line.... if holds back too much Rickie won't look as impressive over the remaining games as an 'all guns blazing' Andy Carroll....
