hypochondriac

Also interesting to hear from my brother in law who is an ex professional footballer. He said the best managers are the ones who have a hard man disciplinarian reputation in front of the cameras and then are the complete opposite behind the scenes. There are many examples.

Yeah Ferguson was a famously crap man manager.

I think I saw jwp score a worldie in a training session six months ago soggy. You should be cracking one off over that as well. Rather like your ex wife, some of us have higher standards.

Indeed. I just think saints fans have quite a low bar for success given how crap many of our more creative players have been since Tadic.

Plus the fact it was a friendly with no pressure. Like I said, I'll be really chuffed if he can do something similar in a competitive game but as yet he hasn't achieved anything.

If he does it against Spurs though then show it as much as you like! He hasn't achieved anything yet...

It's not that I didn't enjoy it, I just don't need to see it promoted with multiple angles accross different social media sites like its some sort of big achievement.

Well done for actually understanding the point.

Bit embarrassing that Southampton is promoting this goal to a ridiculous degree. It was a preseason friendly. Just released a video on YouTube entitled "Aribo's magic moment." Do it in a competitive match and then I'll join the hype train.

Don't worry mate. Nothing to see here.

There were bellends on both sides of the culture war trying to score points rather than applaud a good achievement and some positivity. Wankers on social media using the win to bang on about biological women and then people in the other side moaning about jokes when she took her top off. It's just not the time or place for any of it.

But you accept that some managers are better at players relations than others? Hence why someone like Klopp is so good at it. I have been told that is not one of Ralph's strengths.

A few people (including the Athletic reporter I believe) have alluded to Ralph not being the best at man management. I believe he isn't the most warm individual and I was told that he treats players differently depending on if he likes them or not.

I put what I knew about Broja not being a fan of Ralph and loads said it was made up and untrue.

Not sure I can agree with you there. I've never seen a women's tennis match come close to a Nadal Federer Wimbledon final for example.

To be fair I think certain people would much prefer a family friendly atmosphere at the football. It would solve an awful lot of problems for those types of people. The main problem is it makes the atmosphere as flat as a pancake.

The main thing they should do is make the goals slightly smaller. I think that would improve things a lot.

You're right it is a bit bizarre. You don't really see comparisons across the sexes in other sports either. I'm not sure why it's done with football.

And if that were to happen it would be brilliant. Piggybacking off the men suggests that some at the top don't believe it can succeed on its own.

The main bloke I spoke to moved to a new prem club. I know a couple of other people but not as well. Mostly just get some info on the kits now.

TBF I'm sure Leeds would like to do business for 10 million.

Silly season.

That's the one. That would fit that sort of tactic, waiting to see if he is picked up or not. Also the ex celtic bloke from lyon.

Who is that tall striker that wants to go to united that we've been linked with? Made me think of him.

Still encouraging though. Didn't someone say he's from the area?
