How'd Ralph get the job then? Anyways, Kat isn't that big on facial hair, certainly not a mustachio the size of Big Ted's, hence why AL may be out the door.

What about a Teddy Boy manager? His quiffed up hair will surely rub off on AL and LS. I bet within the first two weeks of the season every Premier League manager will be sporting a frock coat.

Italians are notoriously bad with engineering jobs. Last time I was in the Italian capital, half the place was crumbling.

26th President of the US (among other titles) and possibly the next manager of Southampton Football Club.

I know who it won't be, Howard Taft. Plus, I'm not sure his Bull-Moose tactics will translate well into the current Southampton squad. He'd have to bring in a Hiram Johnson, which could work if played in an attacking midfield role. (Yea, historical American political humor.)

Go to McDonalds for their coffee. It tastes different than UK McDonalds coffee but it's the only kind I drink.

I can already see Hooiveld awkwardly looking around with a smirk on his face as Lovren says "where are those bubbles coming from?" Glad to see the club is investing to repeat last year's groundsman of the year award. What will the player's use? O well, their problem.

Sell everything that's not bolted down or a player, have school kids shaking cans outside of grocery stores for spare change and bring in #7, Cristiano Ronaldo. Then watch the new #7 kits fund his £400k/week wage.

This was only after Adam, hearing laughter and seeing a long line of England well wishers at the other end of the table, looked and noticed Rickie and Gerrard sitting together. Entranced by Rickie's noticeably bigger smile he glanced down at Rickie's hand, which worked feverishly to sign autographs for the almost innumerable supporters that flocked to that end of the table. In Rickie's fervor Adam noticed something odd about that hand which was signing so many autographs. "Did he get a new tattoo? No. That's an odd tan line" Adam thought to himself. Suddenly it struck him, that was a tan line left by years of wearing a now gone Eterna watch. As a tear rolled down the face of Adam and jealous rage began to fill him he saw Rickie lean over to Gerrard, gesture to Adam and say, just loud enough so everyone heard it, "scummer."

It was a word play on Hulk.

I like RonK (pronounced as one word). Given his squarish head, he could color himself green, wear torn purple shorts and when we play Spurs he can scream "RonK smash, RonK smash!" O man the look on poch's face.

I suppose I was just born in the wrong country for beer enjoyment. While there are a few I can enjoy, I never got into the US microbrew scene. Spitfire is here in Delaware and since I've never seen it before, even those places that pride themselves in a giant selection, I'll pick up some bottles this week. Hopefully it's popular at my local beer shop because I've seen Coopers (Australia) sit on their shelves two years past it's brewed date.

I'm familiar with Bevmo and Total Wine (I'm in DE) but it's just more of the same. I was hoping to get access to more of the Fullers range. I really like Seafarers, probably because of the ship on the glass, and Lancaster Blonde.

That was good for a laugh. I'll have to pick some up when my current stock runs low. Since we're talking about beer, would anyone know of a UK beer shop that ships to the US? Google has let me down in my pursuit for good British beer delivered to the States.

Worth a try I suppose. I figured most of it was marketing but any insight into its taste?

I've traveled to the UK many a time and I don't recall ever seeing Spitfire beer but at a local beer shop (USA) they reference it as "Great Britain's #1 beer." Any truth to this? Obviously the Spitfire holds significance to Southampton so I'm curious.

Do you think that's how they sold it to Ralph, the new Marketing head from Apple and the new CFO? KL "Hey I know you're making wicked money at Apple or heading you're own sports branding company, or whatever you do Ralph, but do you want to go through the stress of liquidating a football team that my father, as his dieing wish, wanted to rebuild?" Why would she waste the time, energy and money to do all that then sell it? It makes 0 business sense.

Tried posting this earlier in the week but TalkSport (drive time?) said Poch started talking to Levy 3 weeks ago, or right before the Man U match. Poch then pushed the onus onto the board saying they must match his ambition, even though he was already on his way to North London. This and Rickie pushing his own transfer is putting a lot of unnecessary blame on the board.
