I think that's a load of rubbish tbh. Even if you could argue that it is uncertain should we not buy Bertrand in the summer, it is only in the summer that it would become uncertain and not now or the rest of this season.
At the time I believed it be an uninspiring move and along with others in the context of the extremely worrying period we were going through expressed my frustration about this. Things have turned out better than even those in charge could have dreamed of so far and that's a brilliant thing. Bertrand has been very solid and has set about proving initial assessments based on an uninspired villa showing wrong. Credit to him and let's hope it continues.
You can't tell me that comments would not be more tempered had this loan signing not happened in the middle of selling half the team and with seemingly little action towards replacing those lost. Comments would also have been more positive at the end if the window once it was clear that we had got some good replacements in so yes context is clearly important.
Those comments have to be put in the context of what was happening at the time (team seemingly being destroyed.) Bertrand has been a solid signing and kudos to the board for that. Nothing wrong with having an initial reaction and then revising that once he takes to the field as a Saints player.
A neighbour reported us to ofsted because a staff member said that. Thankfully on that occasion ofsted employed some common sense (sadly quite a rare thing).
This has been an incredible start. Rather than comment on here, I've mostly been going to the games instead. It makes a nice change! Been to West brom, West ham, arsenal, QPR and will be at Spurs. It's been great...
I very much doubt the culprit was looking to deface a war memorial. Clearly an ignorant thicky who saw a Portsmouth badge and thought they would deface it.
I don't think it does really. I suspect it has already been cleared off. Anyone stupid enough to do something like that is clearly not a proper saints fan and is almost certainly just a bit thick and knows nothing about what the memorial represented. If you donate something, what are you actually going to put it towards?
Absolutely not. I am going and I will be alternating supporting saints with giving Pochettino dogs abuse. Having hate figures is what football is all about.
The YES vote lost and Scotland will be part of the UK probably for my lifetime which is good enough for me. I suggest anyone still crying about it gets over it sharpish.
