hypochondriac

I think the point being made is that a player should not be solely judged on their performance over a few games in a tournament. Many clubs have been burnt with that sort of thing. Hopefully Rojo has been scouted before the cup and so we know his quality.

I don't think so. Most have consistently said until there is evidence to the contrary. Big money buys would be that evidence. I think most would just be pleased that they have taken steps to repair some of the damage.

I hope someone status a birthday thread for belmadi and monkou.

Boris isn't dangerous, he's just a politician like everyone else. The big difference is that he is more interesting and can make people listen to him more than any other politician. I don't feel that who is in power makes a massive difference to things that actually matter so why not give him a go. If he fails then he would be out fairly quickly anyway. If he was a success it would really wind up the liberals too so I'm all for it.

Saints related?

Probably because he wasn't offered a new contract for months so was looking elsewhere.

They need to keep their promises, secure decent signings now and then ensure that the mistakes if this season do not happen again.

You agree a deal in principle but only after replacements have been secured...

I have always liked the bloke. Good to see his public persona is not hiding some asshole inside. I'm glad he is also not pretending that everything is fine or that he wasn't annoyed about the summer. He is clearly disappointed by it all but despite that is happy to sign up and see where things lead. Very good news.

Good lad. Nice to see some honesty there too.

Do I detect a hint of racism there you odious little turd?

Excellent. Boris for pm!

Was my favourite Saints player before this summer and most definitely is now!

Fantastic news. Took long enough but nice to get something positive for a change.

How do you explain multi-dimensional?

About 15 of your last 20 posts have been about me and you only get 3 posts a day! Over a weeks worth of posts almost entirely about me. You've been following me around the board for years. Nice to know you find me so fascinating.

Seriously though, am I the only one who struggles to know what Ralph means half the time? I sort of understand what he is saying here but not quite.

As will I. You can see why I ignore your views then. I wish you would do the same and ignore my posts.

A valuable contribution Wes as always. Thanks for your incorrect views as per usual.

Would be nice to get some more defined details from him though. At the moment it feels very loose and undefined which is probably how he wants it. As long as all targets are up for interpretation, there will be little to measure success.

All my mates went. I had a ticket but sadly had to work so couldn't attend. Told it was a good night and Benali had a few interesting things to say.

As is leaving the majority of strengthening until a week before the season starts.

Forgive me, but I thought the Southampton way as it was defined encompassed more than just the football on the pitch.

Interested in how he has redefined the Southampton way and our values. Struggling to find where the substance is in that statement.
