Players Presentation Dinner


Guided Missile

Recommended Posts

For those going, I'll be the one in the tuxedo. Really looking forward to it, despite John Motson being there. We've got a great table and I hope the players are allowed to relax a little more, this season.

First one I went to, we sponsored Marek Saganowski. He couldn't wait to leave, to go and have a cigarette break with Skacel. I trust anyone else going will post gossip after the event. Personally, I'm going to get bladdered...

Jose Fonte named the Official Saints Player of the Season at the club's End of Season Awards Dinner

 

Adam Lallana wins Players Player of the Year. Guly wins Goal of the Year & Alex Chamberlain wins Young Player of the Year

 

Official player of the year? Players player of the year. Wtf? Am I right in thinking official is chosen by the club and players by the players? what about the fans vote?

 

Think they've overdone it on "playER of the year" awards

 

Barnard - hardest player of the year

 

Fonte - longest haired player of the year

 

Davis - Cheekiest player of the year

 

Connoly - shortest player of the year

 

Chaplow - baldest player of the year

I believe the Fonte award is the one we voted for as fans. I certainly e-mailed my vote to the club (as instructed by the club) and received acknowledgement that my vote had been registered.

 

Thank you for submitting your vote.

 

Please keep an eye on the Southampton FC website for your winner of the player of the year award to be announced.

 

 

Kindest Regards

Aaron Martin signing a new contract. Danny Butterfield on another year, due to 20 game trigger in current contract.

 

Random gossip from a Sky source - Harry has instructed agents to get £50M for Bale and £25M for Luca Modric. Apparently he can then quit Spurs and take over at Chelsea, complaining that the Spurs chairman (who he doesn't get on with) is selling his best players from under him.

 

Heard all about the total stitch up with Lee Barnard, from a player who was a witness, but I think I'd better leave it there...

Lee Holmes won Community player of the year (whatever that is?)

 

Guly's Award was for the goal against Blackpool

 

That is like the one tyro league teams give for the fat kid that was always the sub and played about 2 minutes a season but was always at training and helped put the nets away at the end of each game.

Used to be called 'Chairman's player' in my day!

The Redknapp stuff must be 100% bollix. The bloke is in his 60s and is getting fed up with driving from Sandbanks to London every day. He wouldn't want the Chelski job, there's only one job he is hanging out for and he would accept it today if the FA were to offer it him.

I wouldn't be so sure. If the man said that Tottenham was going to be his last job in club football, then you can be sure there will be another one to follow. I should imagine that Chelsea's plush training ground in Cobham is an easier drive than Spurs' training ground. Plus he has an ego the size of Dorset, and if the Russian wants to give him a megabucks salary, Spurs should be on the lookout for another manager.

Add to this the multi-million "wheeler dealing" he can get up to. ;)

 

I dont think the F.A. will go near him after his name is dragged through the courts this summer.

i have no faith in the legal system regarding football after the way Pompey have got away with it. HR will do the same and still the media's darling will be England manager.

I have a mate who is a media photographer, he reckons if Redknapp gets the job, some of them will go after him. The Sports journo's maybe in his pocket but people like Mihir Bose and the serious investigatory guys are going to be gunning for him.

I loved this from the Fiver on Tuesday:

 

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/may/10/the-fiver-harry-redknapp

 

But if there's one team in the Premier League that is the victim of a media agenda, it's Tottenham Hotspur, who are forced to go about their business on a daily basis nervous in the knowledge that, almost to a man, the London-based media are constantly conspiring to undermine them by burrowing so far up 'Arry Redknapp's backside that it's astonishing the Spurs manager hasn't had to visit a proctologist to have some of the fawning Fleet Street lick-spittles jockeying for position in his colon to be surgically removed.

 

Now the Fiver is fairly fond of 'Arry. He seems an affable old cove who invariably gives good quote. But we're constantly bewildered by the easy ride he gets from his media chums, who seem happy to listen to him put on the poor mouth, while diligently recording his every utterance without question. Revealing why Spurs couldn't possibly be expected to finish in the top four this season, 'Arry declared that "City can be a real force next year. They've got a strong squad which is only going to get better because they've got unlimited funds to buy anybody they want and they can pay the wages." Compared to Spurs, whose impoverished no-mark players get paid in magic beans and can often be found pan-handling for spare change on the Seven Sisters Road in a bid to make ends meet.

 

But while it would have been interesting to learn 'Arry's opinion on how City's wealth can be held responsible for Tottenham's tally of five Premier League points out of a possible 18 against Blackpool (x2), West Ham, Wigan, Wolves and West Brom in recent months, we didn't get to hear them because, as is customary, nobody had the bottle to ask him for it.

He doesn't drive, Kevin Bond does. If he got the England job he'd have to do far more traveling. What the Sky source said sounds just like Redknapp.

I can believe that about Redknapp. Back on subject of our club's presentation evening; Loving 'dont you want me baby' being played out as Fonte stepped up to collect his award, and Ed Chamberlain being asked to host!

Great to see Leon Crouch presenting the player of the season award.

 

Yes, it seems that people with a historical involvement with Saints are more than welcome provided they don't cause trouble. A sensible approach.
