Ha....Sky found 2 people with handkerchiefs in the crowd

@NabilHassan79: There are currently 21 photographers primed outside the players tunnel as they look to capture Mauricio Pochettino's arrival. #saintsfc Cortese: marketing genius...

No centre back on the subs bench....Cork to fill that role if needed?

I wasn't implying you we're... As FR David would say: "Words don't come easy to me"

I'm guess Cork is our back-up Centre Back if Hooiveld or Yoshida go off injured?

This just gets worse FFS...

Anyone recall if Pardew got a write up?

You may be right

1/2: @officialsaints: RT @Everton: Everton team to face Southampton: Howard, Coleman, Baines, Jagielka, Distin, Naismith, Pienaar, Neville, Osman, Fellaini, Jel @officialsaints: RT @Everton: Everton subs: Mucha, Heitinga, Oviedo, Mirallas, Hitzlsperger, Anichebe, Duffy

@NabilHassan79: Media not allowed to conduct vox pops (interviews) with fans outside of St Mary's or on the premises tonight. #saintsfc #bbcfootball

@pn_neil_allen: RT @officialpompey: Football League figures show that #Pompey are the most followed League One club on Twitter - thanks for your support 30% of which are those obsessed nutjobs on the saintsweb forum...

Meanwhile , the latest re-tweet from the man who accuses Saints fans of being obsessed with Pompey... @pn_neil_allen: RT @NabilHassan79: #SaintsFC stewards told in pre-game briefing not to comment if asked by fans what they think about Nigel Adkins sacking. That said, I guess Mr Allen is highly qualified in the subject of propaganda...

You're mistaking me for someone who strives to be correct all the time

But the salient point that MLG is highlighting is that the likes of Sky portray these chaps as representing a significant percentage of Saints fans when they don't. I've no objection to Sky et al speaking to the sane people all the time, it's their misrepresentation of these people that I find a little annoying (although not as annoying as trying to unpick the first few sheets of a new toilet roll)

@NabilHassan79: #SaintsFC stewards told in pre-game briefing not to comment if asked by fans what they think about Nigel Adkins sacking.

I can't fathom it either. Can only put it down to lazy journalism.

Are the people who work for the likes of 5live, skysports and TalkSport ignorant, incompetent or both? Why else would they give air time to such people?

The media are buffoons

Why the assumption that having an ego is a bad thing...?

Why oh why do these media outlets persist in giving a platform to people who (a) don't represent the fan base and (b) can't tell the difference between Spain and Argentina? One thing I've had reinforced over the last few days is that the media can't be arsed to scratch beneath the surface of any story they cover. At least I get to re-use the Facepalm I withdrew from Huffton's post...
