Glenn Hoddle here next week.

I am fairly confident in saying, Glenn Hoddle will be in Southampton next week.

 

He will be introduced to the players on Wednesday.

 

He is quite likely to train his players at Staplewood, but it will be 'behind closed doors' I am afraid.

 

Whether pro or anti GH, please don't get too excited about it, as he is only bringing a team from his academy to play Saints and should be boarding a homebound plane later that evening.

 

Apologies if this is already 'out there'.

got excited for a minute -not at Hoddle's return -but at a decent rumour been a bit dull on takeover front lately!

 

I assure you Nick, the match will happen. Glenn WILL be bringing a team to play Saints first team, behind closed doors next Wednesday, Kick Off 12 O'Clock.

 

I will leave it to others to speculate as to the real purpose of the game! ;)

What the same Saints first team that's playing Coventry on Tuesday night?

Doesn't sound very logical to me, still total football and all that.

Ah the SCW "football needs to find a way to bring late developers into the first team", added to Rupert's "Develop our own players" and moulded to the "Glenn Hoddle links with Southampton" conspiracy.

 

Well, I'm not at all surprised to see the concept of him using our facilities and players as test beds being rumoured, whether it is real or happens is another issue.

 

Let's hope he lends us a Ronaldo clone in January.....

Someone needs to make sure the club are forewarned so Staplewood security can be increased. Don't want a John Lennon moment.

 

I suppose it's just one of them things though.

 

True. Apparently Glen is a big fan of The Catcher in the Rye. Well he was in his previous life.

Oh, I thought it was a film with Kevin Costner in it??

 

 

What? suppose you mean the Field of Dreams connection.

 

I don't think the Catcher has ever been produced for the big screen, thought there was a project 2 years or so ago but I've no idea what's happening on that. There might have been a few amateur efforts though, I've never seen any of them and I'm quite a film buff.

Wiki says:

"According to a speculative article in The Guardian in May 2006, there are rumors that director Terrence Malick has been linked to a possible screen adaptation of the novel"

 

I thought I'd seen a screen version of it years ago but maybe it was a televised drama :smt102

Well according to IMDB :- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1206286/

 

and the reason why Catcher in the Rye will never be adapted for the big screen

Wow, the internet is full of useful information isn't it

The character author Tarrance Mann in Field of Dreams (1989) a movie of the book "Shoeless Joe" by W.P. Kinsella, is actually a character based on J.D. Salinger.

There was a film called the Catcher in the Rye (bout 1995/6) but it's complete tosh, nothing to do with Salinger.

Wow! I love this forum - a thread starts about Glenn Hoddle and, in the blink of an eye, it's all about JD Salinger and real/fake films. How can anybody quibble with the £5 membership fee?

 

Do you think the chap who wrote a review of the fake film actually bought a copy? I'm still chuckling at the thought of that!

Hence the connection back to John Lennon I guess!!

 

That was the reason for the original reference. Chapman was obsessed with TCITR, thinking it a source of many answers to life's riddles. He was also hearing voices at the time he shot Lennon. Apparently his room was full of copies of the book and the morning he kill JL he bought another copy, shot Lennon and then stayed at the scene reading TCITR until they arrested him.

 

Great book

one of those books you always hear mentioned but never read - whats it like?

 

The Catcher in the Rye?

 

Well I would put it on everybody's must read list,but then that's just me.

It's an insight into the workings of the fairly unbalanced adolescent mind.

Still to some I suppose it would seem archaic and out of date nowadays, but then so is Shakespeare et al.

I'm sure your local library has at least one copy.

This could be a good opportunity for all fans to show Glenn that we want him back to save our club !!!

 

No doubt you'll be there taking photos to have a ****fest to later on you freak.

What's that all about then, I thought this thread was a discussion of the works of J.D. Salinger not so far transformed for the cinema.

I thought the title was just to keep it under the mod-radar.

 

I'm sorry, its Hollywood disgrace that Catcher hasn't been transferred to the big screen, an absolute disgrace. I've heard there is a Bollywood version coming soon. There back on topic now.

Catcher would be very difficult to film though. How would you put in a lot of the internal monologues? Nearly all of the film would have to be voice- overs!
