Makes a smashing son-in-law too, don't you think?

F*** me, you kept that one quiet...

Mods - please, for the love of God Almighty, do something about this post please... It really isn't suitable for a Saintsweb transfer window thread. TIA.

I'm genuinely interested in knowing what percentage of Saints fans "never rated him". My guesstimate would be less than 10% but I suppose it will always seem more than that due to the 'vocal minority ' syndrome.

Yep, in the relatively rare times he was deployed in that role here he excelled.

Nothing about how good a son-in-law he is? Proof that they know f*** all...

If more than 5% of Saints fans held those views on JWP I'll eat John Westwood's underpants. #vocalminority

I'll have to have another word with my Everton supporting brother as that isn't his recollection. I think he said he was still very error prone when at WBA (gave away lots of free kicks etc) but he endeared himself with the fans because of the effort and commitment he put in (I seem to recall Lynaco had a similar impact on many Saints fans when he first joined...). But, I agree, most of the views on WBA forums at the time were more positive than negative. Maybe they set their bar of expectation lower than fans on here typically would? Time will tell and I'm certainly prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt.

After our second goal...?

Maybe one of the Charlie Wayman Saintsweb member syndicate could donate one of their tickets for a game?

Ings coming on for his last West Ham appearance of the season...?

JWP's gonna get a Premier League winner's medal at this rate...

Yep, at least £10m shy of what we should've got for him. Unless the agreement was that they would give us a good deal when we sign Ings on loan on deadline day...

Yeah, and we could've done without his two assists today too.... #wasteofspace

Those that go to the trouble of posting "Who really gives a shit" about things they purport not to give a shit about...?

Another inch higher and that's a red card for JWP

Useless son-in-law!

Dare I say, a tad Lambert-esque..?

Yep, game changer

Yeah, totally agree that avoiding short term / knee-jerk opinions is a good thing...

Bit of both I would imagine
