  1. Insightful for someone who (presumably) isn't especially close to the club. Aspiring bloggers and writers should make a point of reading this to see how to craft a good article.

     

    Anyone read Consortium11's comments below? :lol:

     

    I tried. Ok Consortium11, who are you?

  2. Ok. Klinsmann. He's been disastrous for the USA. Probably taken them back 20 years as far as progression. Nobody expects the USA to win against Argentina, but 4-0, without a shot on target on home soil, is something you wouldn't even expect in the 1990s. Plus he's more fond of searching out dual citizens in Germany than he is blooding new talent in America.

     

    I'd rather have Roy Hodgson. Or have 'Arry back. Or Joe Kinnear. That's how bad he is. A Klinsmann appointment will either result in an October/November sacking or a campaign in the Championship for the 2017/18 season.

  3. Those were really bad times. If it happened now I could properly laugh it off instead of attempting a wry and mournful chuckle - it wasn't meant as an insult to Ted Bates after all - but at the time it seemed to be a symbol of everything wrong at the club.

     

    We've come a long way in a surprisingly short amount of time.

  4. Blue in peace here lads.

     

    Koeman will be confirmed tomorrow by all reliable accounts. Talks have been held up due to your end dragging their heels. It seems you were confident Ron would stay in spite of our interest and have spent the last few days approaching managerial targets and working out compensation terms, which is understandable given the narrative that Everton couldn't take Southampton's manager.

     

    Preventing player poaching might not be a great concern for you. Granted, there are one or two that Koeman might want to take along, but the appointment of a DoF and the new owner's own targets mean it's unlikely you'll loose too many. I suppose your biggest concern could be Forster. It's unlikely we'll take VvD unless we sell Stones, which we'll only do if there's an offer significantly in excess of £40m.

     

    Hopefully this won't sour relations between the two clubs too much in the future. I think it's natural that Koeman would want to take the next step and, like at Feyenoord, he will hopefully be remembered as doing great stabilising work with your club as you transition from feeder club to a solid PL outfit. Great progress, really, and your board should be commended.

     

    This is an impressively aggressive and insulting little post for someone who's come on 'in peace'. Not sure you really know what that means.

  5. To be honest, as much as I'd like to see Man U sanctioned, it would set a bad precedent. Whatever the reason for the alert, I'm glad they put security over money and/or points. I'd hate to get blown up one day because the club whose stadium I was visiting was afraid of a sanction.

  6. - Saints win. Emphatically.

    - Worst case scenario is 6th.

    - Finish above Liverpool.

    - Tottingham and Poch bottle it spectacularly and finish deservably below Arsenal. At least they are second in North London. :)

    - Skates lose out on promotion, even a trip to Wembley. In stoppage time.

     

    Perfect, perfect weekend.
