Would you have said Pochettino had the X-factor when he joined? Cautiously optimistic about the appointment; feels like the type of manager that Watford would appoint; that said, you have to something about you to get results against the big sides in Spain, arguably the most unequal league in the world.

Could well be. Most South Koreans I've met have a massive chip on their shoulder. But I guess that's not a surprise given the politics and history of the region.

That's not a new policy.

Les can't get over Pochettino, can he? It really was true love.

What's a head of an embassy when it's at home? Never heard of the term. Heard of a head of mission which is an ambassador; but not head of embassy.

You can gauge his english from his interview in the aforementioned sun article https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3340596/mauricio-pochettino-and-i-chatted-tactics-for-hours-using-just-salt-and-pepper-pots-says-alaves-chief-mauricio-pellegrino/

Good

Agree. Good article in yesterday's FT on this: https://www.ft.com/content/db738fb8-3ed2-11e7-82b6-896b95f30f58 #friendsinhighplaces

Although Churchill never actually said that https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jun/19/not-doing-his-homework-david-davis-blunders-with-churchill-quotation

Can't remember which commentator said it but Brexit is an idea whose only effective rebuttal is its own implementation.

Come on, Balders, he would absolutely demolish you and end up calling you 'mate' out of sympathy.

No, Andy Durman once waited for Les in the car park of SMS and asked for some advice on doing his badges. He's been a starry-eyed lackey ever since.

He's a blustering bullsh*tter who thinks his exceptionalism is going to save the day -others might interpret that as being treated with contempt. His entire career has never reached beyond a sense of massive entitlement. Above all, as Eddie Mair rightly diagnosed, he's a sociopath, a nasty piece of work.

With Pellegrino?

1/3 chance. Feeling lucky tonight, pal?

To be fair, I didn't think it was you

The Black Box is a devoted Bayesian.

The black box has been following these managers for years - trust the process.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCEEWblEN1Y Les, Lord P, Balders, Trident, Nolan, Sergei et al.- was this you?

Surprised you could see him over the roof of his car.

That and the joys of cul-de-sac living.

Frankly it was still pretty much like that in the late 1990s.

Depends how much of S.Korea hasn't been razed to rubble.

Sounds like horseshït on so many levels.
