Not word for word but pretty much

Koeman update on Jrod: "I hope he can still play a part this season but we don't put pressure on him. He has to be back to full fitness. If that is in the last part of this season then I'm very pleased, if not, next season."

@SouthamptonFC: Koeman says Filip Djuričić will not be available for Saturday's game against @QPRFC as he waits for his work permit.

Koeman: "Toby needs one week more. He'll be available for the Liverpool game, not West Ham"

Koeman: "Thanks to Maurico. He left me an easy job. That's why I came here. I wanted a holiday so thank you to him" (or words to that effect)

Matt ‏@majdeano85 @mattletiss7 Poch is a decent chap, Matt. I expect he's been misquoted or mistranslated. He is always very complimentary about people. Matt Le Tissier ‏@mattletiss7 @majdeano85 no hes not. I know how he behaved when he left saints.

Actually, that probably fits the psychological profile better than Bazza. Good call.

Penalty to Bolton

Simon Peach @SimonPeach Interesting update on @footballitalia, but incorrect when they say Inter could send Osvaldo back to #SaintsFC. The decision has to be mutual

I wonder if that chap thinks the same about Saints' downfall? It was, after all, a bank that bounced a £4,000 cheque that sent SLH into administration...

Penny Mordaunt currently on BBC Daily Politics show saying how much the government have been cracking down on corporate tax avoidance and evasion. Just waiting for her to cite Pompey as a recent example....
