Everybody in china, Indian, Japan and Thailand wears the wales home shirt. Wales are massive in Asia. FACT.

It's not a joke, it's the Cheetah effect. Tis a well known theory over here. Have a look.

However exciting the media they try and make out I always let out a little sigh when they mention women's football.

Yes. Was back of the Milton and everyone covered their eyes when they saw ruddock was taking it. 89th minute pen when rod Wallace was taken out by their keeper. 2 minutes after the goal le Tiss got the ball and wacked it out of the ground over the wall area in the Milton to basically end the game, the cheer for that was almost as loud as the cheer for the goal.

Incorrect. The vast majority of clubs suffer a dip in form after the manager receives the award. It's like players winning MOM, they usually suffer a dip in form after the accolade. It's been scientifically proven, it's called the cheetah effect.

Not really. Both will be legends of the club. Ted is now, Les will be looked back on as one. The man that guided us from L1 to the premier league. Appointed a succession of excellent mangers. Negotiatied the transfers of top notch incoming players that with a fantastic ROI, whilst extrapulating exhorbitant fees for over rated, egotisitcal dickwads. Oversaw the rise of our academy to be the greatest in Europe and finally and most recently guided us through choppy waters and into calmer sees. I suggest a statue facing Ted with the words "if you can keep your head when all men doubt you......" engraved on it.

I love the way he looks at Adrian Chiles like he wants to rip him apart when he starts talking bo*locks.

England could have a decent team in a few years time, the problem is what credible England manager is there? Pardew? Redknapp? Arguably the best man for the job is Paul Clement who has never even been a manger. There really isn't an English manager who deserves the job, so we'll have to go foreign which will start all the dinlows off on the England manager should be English crusades again.

Love that footage of him ranting at Shearer whilst he didn't take a backward step. Remember hearing an interview with Keith Gillespie about the little set two he and Shearer had whilst on a preseason tour when he offered Shearer outside and promptly got ironed out, said it was a big mistake, he was a tough man was shearer, reckon he'd have done Keane.

I hope you enjoy your trip to St Mary's my friend. As a guest of the club you'll be fine, however you do need to be aware that The atmosphere at St Mary's will be like no other you have experienced. St Mary's is a real cauldron of hate, a venomous, poisonous atmosphere where opposition players and fans are often beaten before they take to the pitch. Southampton is also home for one of the most notorious football firms in Europe, the DEF as they are known or to give them their full name the Dell Elite Force, taking their name from the Dell, our old ground and their inspirational leader who goes by the terrace name Del Bianco, one of Europes deadliest men. The DEF are a hand picked mob of battle hardened warriors who have earned their reputation on its terraces, ably supported by our youth firms that strike fear into the hearts of the pubs and terraces up and down the country. Enjoy your trip but just remember 'not even god can stop the DEF'

Eh? Only 7 of the 21 man squad came from London clubs.

World class dummy there from Rooney, he really is a class act.

We could mix it up by announcing the surname and we all shout the first name. Saints fans already excel at this with 'steeeeve' so shouldn't be too big an ask. I'm sure it'll make the atmosphere electric.

The key to being successful in business is to adapt our approach to fit the customer. Hence why in my Personal life these days you can find me supping ale, boasting about how hard I am and how much I can drink, whilst cracking Bernard manning jokes.

The 'world class' Ryan Smith.

As a resident of Yorkshire and an adopted yorkshire man I can confirm everything is true about Yorkshire and it is indeed the greatest place on earth. A place that has everything. the charming seaside towns of Filey is a must visit, its easy to see why families from as far afield as Hull take a day trip there. Bradford is a fascinating place, a fantastic example of multiculturalism being alive and well in Britain, a place steeped in history with a nod back to the industrial ages where this proud city was the centre of industry and commerce. The local council have cleverly left many of the old monuments, like the many textiles factories, in their original structure so that the rich history of this town is never forgotten. Its no surprise so many immigrants choosing to settle in this town and they have been welcomed with open arms by the friendly locals where the local joke is the county they describe as 'gods country' is known locally as 'Mohammed's country'. With over half the town now made up from immigrants its testament to the friendliness of the people that they are able to settle and build a life here. For a true taste of real England though I can throughly recommend a trip to Selby. A place time seems to have forgotten, a place where the locals are proud of their heritage and identity. You'll have no problem sampling fine English cuisine here, there is row upon row of food outlets serving up everything from pea fritters and kebabs to deep fried chicken and chips and one look at the average local shows just how popular and delicious they are, it appears they can't get enough! You'll see plenty of traditional English dress here, the locals usually decked out head to toe in it and should you wish to take back 'a Selby burqa' (tracksuit) to remember your time here the locals favourite shop, JJB sports has them at good prices, from the main manufacturers of these garments such as Lonsdale and reebok. Saturday afternoons is a good time to visit which I understand is their la bella figura where the locals parade around in their finery for the rest of Selby to see and engage in a Selby tradition of bottling. A practice which has gone on in Selby every Saturday night for over 100 years. You can see this free of charge in the Wetherspoons on the high street Ive only mentioned 3 places but there are many, many more like them. You could do other things like visit barnsley and see the site of the famous miners battles of the 80s or take a trip to the hussle and bustle of Leeds, a place that wishes it was manchester and is evidence of what trying hard but failing looks like. Yes, Yorkshire truly has it all.

So all our previous success was totally down to Cortese, our current success is totally down to the manager, who we were just plain lucky to get. Okay then.

People laughed at me in the summer when I said in the future Les Reed will be considered a modern day Ted Bates. They're not laughing now.

9/13 Obsessed.

Talking about me again I see and on thread I've not even posted on. 8 out of 12 Obsessed.

Some great quotes, i find him very amusing and honest, even if he is a bit of a c*nt “It might seem strange but you find out about characters when you look to see who’s in charge of the music. A young lad might want to put on the latest sound; an older player might say: ‘I’m the senior player’ and put himself in charge. But I noticed none of the players [at Sunderland] were in charge of the music and this was a concern for me. A member of staff was in charge. I was looking at him thinking: ‘I hope someone nails him here.’ The last song before the players went on to the pitch was ‘Dancing Queen’ by Abba. What really worried me was that none of the players – not one – said: ‘Get that **** off.’ They were going out to play a match, men versus men, testosterone levels were high. You’ve got to hit people at pace. ****in’ ‘Dancing Queen.’ It worried me. I didn’t have as many leaders as I thought.”

Typical of England though wasn't it. Take our players and shoehorn them into a 4-4-2.

Like many Engish players he was over rated by the english media. He wasnt world class like was made out, he played in an era where the true world class players were Zindane, Ronaldo (the Brazilian one), Ronaldinho, Maldini. He wasn't even the best English or Man United player of his era either, that is Paul Scholes. But Beckham was that tier below them, very good but not great. What he did have though and why i was a fan, was the enthusiasm and commitment for England and his commitment could never be questioned, which is why he is held in high regard by so many. His footballing ability was overstated, his commitment can never be.

People forget just how good MLT was. You can go to most places in the world and people of a certain age know of Saints for one reason, Matt Le Tissier. I was in Edinburgh this week on BUSINESS talking with a multi millionaire businessman who was a Hearts fan and once we'd stopped talking work our first subject was who do you support, when i said Southampton he talked for about 30 minutes about Le Tissier and how he was one of the greatest players he'd ever seen. So many of the dumballs on here who told him to STFU when he (rightly) critised their pint sized hero should hang their head in shame. He was the best player to ever play for us and kept at times a terrible team in the premier league year after year and we will never see his like again. There are certain people who have a right to never pay for a ticket at a club and say what they want about it. He is one of them for us, our Bobby Charlton. It's no exageration to say if he had done a Lallana we'd have been relegated and could be in a postion like Coventry, Sheffield United or Wednesday have been over the last 15 years.

Tell them you know some proper naughty people and if they don't stop parking their jam jars across your tut and shive you'll open them up like a tin a beans. That'll stop them making you look a Toby.
