Don't take this the wrong way sir, but I've just had a quick look back through your posts and can't find the one where you first mentioned these meetings in London. As I say, I don't wish to cast any doubt but curiosity got the better of me. Apologies if I missed it. Cheers

I did that play on words yesterday FFS...

It would have been an excellent way to end the thread if someone hadn't posted afterwards saying that it would be an excellent way to end the thread...

This was covered on the 'Is Cortese Going?' thread yesterday. Would be happy for this scenario to materialise. One of my many hunches is telling me we haven't seen the last of Mr Cortese...

If you promise to re-instate Mr Cortese and provide funds for a cheeky bid for Messi, then the club is yours Mr Jianlin

@SouthamptonFC: Ahead of his press conference, Mauricio Pochettino tells Saints Player that he is "100% committed" to #SaintsFC. http://t.co/asTjNFmXRo

"We have an old saying that's been handed down by generations of road sweepers: 'Look after your broom..." RIP

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC Here's a video of #SaintsFC's players warming up for training today. @ Staplewood Training Ground… http://instagram.com/p/jOmxVupO13/

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC VINE: #SaintsFC's players are out for training - and look who's back... https://vine.co/v/hLYF3uv5U9u

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport Sky did well to spot Mike O'Callaghan outside Staplewood He must have just been walking past - priceless. Even punted Lawrie as caretaker

Mick Channon ‏@Mick_Channon_TV What a pantomime at Saints. Is it really that dramatic? They've been going since 1885 so I think we can cope with people leaving.

Cheers. Do you know if Katharina looking to sell or stay put?

Hull City Official ‏@hullcityteam We have agreed a fee with @WBAFCofficial for Shane Long, and will now enter talks with the striker over personal terms #UTT

That was the other name on the tip of my tongue....

Amongst the natural concern, I had a dose of optimism in my reaction to the news yesterday. However, I've woken up this morning with an over-riding feeling of pessimism and a sense that things are likely to get worse before they get better (e.g. I've a hunch that MP will quit). I'm usually a glass half full kinda person so most unusual for me to feel this negative. Help!

As would Trevor Birch....

People evolving their views over time? That's probably a difficult concept for a few on here to understand....
