Of course it is. I mean I have never, EVER mentioned on here that our defensive weaknesses were shown up in this game and from that time we have spectacularly failed to address them

I am re-warming to NC, I think. He has ambition, and he has drive; though perhaps he needs to work on his communication skills. Seems to me he wasnt willing to accept the sort of namby-pamby wishy-washy excuses and plattitudes banded around in the fan base after dross performances.

Well, that game was a minor revelation for many; it was the first time I thought we were going to struggle in the PL. Not surprised NC reacted to it. FWIW, I think you are owed an apology by quite a few posters, though none will have the balls to do it, though.

Spot on Dunc, and I took the liberty of pointing out yesterday that you said this back at the time of the takeover.

No, but I expect one of them to have been consulted about it, since they have to work with him.

So now we know this has been slow-cooking for sometime, which manager (NA or MP) had a hand in identifying Forren ?

Yes I do. Didnt Lowe like doing that ? The BBC are also saying NA was caught completely unawares by todays events. Maybe he knew it was coming somewhen, but probably thought it would be the end of the season and that drawing at Chelsea had won him a repreive until then too.

Just read on Facebook that NA was escorted off the premises in tears. NC is a bastard.

Its a good question, actually. Could it be that NC is exasperated with transfers falling through, and thinks it might have something to do with NA not being high profile enough ? A real pity if thats the case. There seems to be enough testimonial around that hes a good coach.

Feel a bit sorry for him too. Signing for a PL team is probably a pinnacle of your career, and its been overshadowed. Bloody cortese.

Did they show a piccie ? Was Uncle Les pinning him to the table with a Full Nelson and moving his pen hand for him ?

Are you aware that most of the soldiers and saliors that fought against and were killed by Argentinian forces came through Southampton or that place a few miles down the road, and that we might well be looking at it kicking off again in a couple of months time when the Falkland Islands have their referendum ? Not justifying it, just offering an explanation. I made a silly comment myself.

Fonte as well then. Bet J-Rod speaks some too.

He didnt have the balls to face the press, so he isnt going to face a table of 12 sweaty hairy-arsed Saints fans...

You mean her assistant has. Then left-clicked on "Trash"

You are absolutely right about this and a few people on here agree that protesting looks daft. We are not a PLC with shareholders anymore. I remember Fitzhugh Fella warning about this when we were taken over. Didnt need another thread though. I just posted a similar sentiment on one of the "Burn an Effigy of NC" threads..

I PM'ed him to ask (he was still online and he immediately closed the thread) and hes ignored it. Dont know why hes being a miserable sod about it.

Maybe you get another of Baj's famous "No."s...

I'm beginning to feel sorry for him, I think. He's come over bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, on a mission, crusade even depending on how passionate he is, and he has to work with the Don. Poor sod. Feels like a re-run of Abramovich and Ranieri...

I just noticed something... If you change the "Po" at the front of "Pochettino" to an "S", you get "Schettino", who was the bloke who drove the Costa Concordia into a reef and sank it...

You made this up, right ?

Bullies are often cowards as well.

Yep. And that makes the full circle to the times of Rupert Lowe complete

LOL - first day and he drops his boss in the sh*t.
