Urban myth

I can think of lots of reasons stopping me doing that....

Anyone else getting bored with today's wall-to-wall coverage on BBC News this morning? It's only cycling FFS. In other really important news....hedgehog comes out of hibernation 5 weeks early....

Weaker sterling? Excellent news for exports. Keep the good news coming

Ah, ok - fair dos. I guess the difference I'm trying to highlight is that we may not have needed to choose the admin route if Barclays hadn't 'engineered' the insolvency situation...

@solentsport: Solentsport can reveal that #saintsfc defender @Luke_shaw3 set to be named in Eng U21 squad for 1st time in next months friendly v Sweden @NabilHassan79: Stuart Pearce hails "outstanding" #saintsfc star Luke Shaw and reveals he's set to win his first Under-21 call up: http://t.co/SZzcaTPH

Damn....beat me to the witty Fawlty Towers reference

"Que Meester Cortese?"

Yep, saw that. A tad 'pots and kettles' for a journo that accuses Saints fans of being obsessed with their rivals....

Bablefish translation of that original Spanish article: All seems to point back to before we went on our current decent run.

I'll take that as a compliment

Psssst.....the "Atkins" is for comical effect....

Yep, it's that Inside Futbol article that refers to the Punta Pelota TV programme the day before (9th Jan). Seems strange that its taken the UK media over a week to latch onto it

Just done a trawl back through Twitter to see where the source of this rumour came from. Appears to be Spanish TV show "Punta Pelota" on 9th January - associated web article here: http://www.intereconomia.com/noticias-/punto-pelota/pochettino-se-reunio-southampton-20130109

@NabilHassan79: Daily Mirror are reporting Espanyol boss Mauricio Pochettino is being lined up to replace Nigel Adkins "if things turn wobbly". #saintsfc

In a perverse way, I actually think Nigel thrives on this kind of rumour...the fans get behind him....the players get behind him....and we string together a decent set of results....

@therealbenlane: @Flash_37 source? @Flash_37: @therealbenlane Manuel from Fawty Towers,it will be online from midnight im sure...
