Nah....he's not trying to bait people. Never has. That would be against the forum rules and the mods would have come down on him like a ton of bricks long before now if he was a wind up merchant. No, it's simply someone exercising a different opinion, innit guv?....

Lighten up sir. It was a tongue-in-cheek post. Perhaps I should start taking life more seriously, then I might fit in on here #winkything

I've got a slightly larger set of genitals than that fella

I wonder if this Argentinian will get a better welcome than the last one...? https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?t=42469

You'd have thought members of this forum would be used to such behaviour by now

His full name is Mauricio Andrés Pellegrino Luna, so I'm going for 'Lunatic' or 'loon' for short

Morning, afternoon or evening? Cheers

Probably around the same time we ask the same question about life itself

Sounds like he ought to have a test for diabetes pretty sharpish

The article on Pellegrino's tactics posted earlier (this one: https://www.umaxit.com/index.php/columns/english-clubs-should-chase-mauricio-pellegrino-hes-the-real-deal ) suggests that Pellegrino's reputation for being predominantly a defensive coach is a misrepresentation of his time at Alavés. It would appear he adjusts his tactics depending on the opposition (which I guess Puel also did to a certain degree). On reflection, I'd be happy if we go with Pellegrino.

ITK or random punt? Cheers p.s. Martinez?

Unless I've missed it, I can't see anything in the reports of yesterday's opening discussions where there was an agreement to conclude divorce settlement discussions before future trade arrangement discussions begin. Davis & co conceded a while ago that the divorce discussions would start first but as far as I can tell they're still maintaining their stance that there will/should be an overlap of discussions in due course. Davis: "Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed". Whether the EU agrees with that stance is still up for grabs as far as I can tell, but it seems like a logical approach to me. Perhaps the headline in this FT report of yesterday's proceedings is less sensationalist, given it doesn't come from a Murdoch source...? https://www.ft.com/content/34b704a0-54d7-11e7-9fed-c19e2700005f "Britain and EU agree to focus on divorce at start of Brexit talks"

So Samuels is saying that clubs shouldn't offload players who don't want to play for the club anymore? Interesting logic.

Probably that Jack Schitt fella using his inside info

The more I read about him the more I think it would be worth taking a punt on Viera. Interesting that he's crept up to second favourite with little or no speculation about him taking the Saints job in the media. Suggests someone somewhere knows something perhaps...

Hmm... First post in 3 years.... #itkwatch

Because we killed off Koeman in a cartoon

...

He's been mentioned a few times

The hoards of Everton fans throwing their toys out of the pram over this on Twitter is quite amusing.

Midnight I would imagine (that's when the pre-order starts)
