Seeing as you like just to pick one element out of a post, I'll do it with you, at which point do I say that I am offering my 'expert opinion'. And anyway, I've made my point and essentially, in your final sentence, you've validated it. Gracias

Why don't you read the posts. I was being asked to give my expert opinion to which I responded that RK is the expert. What is actually weird is that people on forums imply they know more than genuine football experts, which is kind of the point. Discuss all you want but for the sake of those who cannot understand, the point I'm making is that a genuine football expert like RK thinks he's a good player. Nothing more, nothing less. Have a read again.

100% what I was thinking as well

Fair point, yet RK has no problem picking him now. If he was so rubbish, he wouldn't be picked, but he must be doing something right in the manager's eyes.

Boo hoo

The expert opinion is Ronald Koeman. That's the point. Why don't you take it up with him.

JWP was rubbish...yet people who know infinitely more about football than anybody on here (unless you're a lurker Ronald) keep picking him. Hmmm, who's wrong I wonder. You just have to question the judgment of those experts at the football club who've won numerous major trophies, know what they want players to do during a match but who just don't know as much keyboard warriors

This statement is no bad thing when it comes to other young players looking at their development pathway

On his head

The whole competition was an embarrassment to the daily echo, then the city and the fans.

Maybe, maybe not, but now there is zero chance of laughing at him if we destroyed them, which is a shame

Agreed, worst thing ever introduced to football has been music after goals especially. 100% unnecessary

Hmmmm, very doubtful indeed from what many have heard. There are ways to go about leaving and I think you can read between the lines that he didn't make the best moves. Fonte, Davis and Davis are some of the few left from his time now anyway. He could have been a legend but he opted to become a bit part player.

You lost me at 'soccer club'

Thought this was answered but was less football plan but more business to drive revenue to help the football side grow. The club has said European football and trophies are the aim and what they are working towards. Putting a date on winning something in football is largely futile. Let's face it, saying get in the premier league in 5 years is a little more easy to realistically commit to than winning the Champions League.

Anyone down on women's football probably just has a problem understanding the bigger picture. Well played Saints, an important project even if some people can't fathom why it is happening.

Always frustrating when we sell out then cock it up. definitely up there with the Europa Cup exit (both legs) and Everton performances for worst for a while and we are only coming up to a quarter of the way through the season. Once again, a lesson needs to be learned

He sleeps with the fishes...football career wise at least

Amazing to think that Steve Davis is almost as good a footballer as he was a snooker player. Steven Davis should try and emulate him

Before this all goes mental, take a moment to consider that the more revenue the club has, the easier it is to keep hold of players or at very least be on more of a competitive footing for longer.

What this thread proves is that there is no 'one' golden way to be a football fan, it is multi-faceted. As long as people follow Saints in some form, I see that as a good thing, especially if they buy tickets and merchandise that goes to the pot to help Ronald buy players!

Some people only see what exists already and what others have done before. Some just like to stay still and keep things how they are. Others see opportunities where those who only see what they know do not. These people and organisations are leaders, and maybe the club under Krueger et al have a different approach that those without imagination cannot see yet because no one else has done it.

Koeman will go to Holland soon...to see his friends and family

All I hope is that we get very used to these type of results
