Soccer Saturday .....Tiss

[Matthew Le Tissier]

absolute rubbish - has nothing to do with people being muppets - purely wanting to substantiate exactly what was said. No one is doubting the fact that the originator is quite likely to be in the know, no one is doubting that he was in good company. We are merely trying to establish who said what to whom in order to clarify the original post.

 

Has nothing whatsoever to do with being weird, more to do with being normal, and well aquainted with the standard of 'snippets' that are posted on this board. Perhaps if you paid the £5 (good value), and used the board more you would see this for youself.

 

 

sorry i couldn't resist. Please practice what you preach

 

you made 3 mistakes i cant be bothered to list them as that makes me as sad as you...i bet you feel a right tosser.

[Thedelldays]

MLT...you have yet to even remotely answer the question I have posed twice...:confused:

lol...sorry mate, this is what I said..PM me if you dont want to post it..

I would love to go to that show it seems a right laugh..

 

I heard your fixture being read out..seemed strange at the time...

 

also, is it an 'IF' we get taken over or a 'WHEN'..?

 

also, was it just saying shearer would not mind the job or is lined up??????

 

 

cheers....(you jammy git:D)

[NickG]

think the main thing that people wanted clearing up was the horses mouth bit. I thought you meant the same as some others -Shearer will take the job -horses mouth must mean you heard it from Shearer.

Do you mean MLT said he heard it from the horses mouth?

Also, I know it maybe hard to remember exactly how it was said -but do you remember whether it was an "if" or "when" MLT said?

[DT]

horse's mouth - did van nistelroy tell you? or was it celine dion?

[tommi]

I think you need to learn how to read? at what point in my fist post or any post did i say ( i heard it straight from the horses mouth) someone who i spoke to Saturday was told by alan what i have posted here. hence why i said(and thats straight from the horses mouth) i hope that clears that little issue you have up for you .

 

Really? thanks! I think you need to learn how to spell, read and write however that's not the point here........below is a little bit of text to help you clarify your opening statement:

 

A little bit

straight from the horse's mouth (not comparable)

 

Positive

straight from the horse's mouth

Comparative

not comparable

Superlative

none (absolute)

 

 

(idiomatic) Directly from the source; firsthand

 

Normally i'm not nearly this pedantic but your idiotic reponses deserve a reply. Sorry If it seems that i'm picking on you, I'm not; over the last 18 months users on this board have been hanging on every word of posts by people like you, only to end up dissapointed.

[Micky]

I wish i had us much time on my hands as you have.

 

 

i know my English is **** but luckily i don't need that to earn a living. bottom line is people like your self try to twist things people say and turn it into what you want it to read.

 

ill take bing **** at typing and having less than perfect grammar any day rather than being a sad little cvnt like you.

 

Thanks for the tips anyway.

 

who ever runs this show can you end this pathetic post now as i am bored with wasting my time reading the dribble, thanks for the positive posts from a few of you, its a shame this forum gets a bad name from the other fools who clearly have no life. think what you wish. I am sure other real fans like myself could and would post much more interesting facts and gossip that most people would like to know but wont bother as its just like dealing with a bunch of children and always ends up like a playground squabble.

 

sorry i couldn't resist. Please practice what you preach

 

you made 3 mistakes i cant be bothered to list them as that makes me as sad as you...i bet you feel a right tosser.

 

Tell you what mate - I'll make it really easy for you - because as you can see many others on here are confused as well.

 

Who said what, to whom and when...???

 

Nobody's trying to drive you away - but you do seem to have become very defensive since your first post.

[DT]

he seems to be mistaking 'horse's mouth' for 'chinese whisper'. easily done. ahem.

Why not just answer the question that I posed in my previous post?

[the saints god]

Le tiss was also in guernsey on sunday watching the Under-16 devolpment league tournament, watching his nephew i presume.

[Matthew Le Tissier]

all you need to know is shearer will take the saints job if we are taken over......and thats straight from the horses mouth........which means......shearer said from his very own mouth, to who he said it to doesn't matter. shearer speaking>>>>>>>> i will take the saints job if the club gets taken over

[NickG]

it does change a bit of the perspective, if someone posted

 

1) I spoke to AS and he said ...e.g. the person quoting has it from the horses mouth

 

or

 

2) I spoke to a mate, whose sister works with a girl who said that her dad told her that a guy he works with met someone who was talking to AS and he was told...etc -person posting cannot say its from the horses mouth

 

If you say your info is from the horse mouth it would mean you heard him say it,

 

Perhaps you meant LeTiss told me that he had heard directly from AS (horse's mouth)

 

Sorry to sound pedantic just sounded like you were saying had spoken to both AS and MLT about it and it was confusing

Errrr the very first point that I made too Nick, we have been here before with 'horses mouth' quotes, only to then find out that the original poster heard it from a mate, who was talking to a mate, who was ordering his 15th G and T for the night.

 

To be honest - even now, I am really none the wiser and probably more sceptical than when I read the first post.

[CB Fry]

 

there was some interesting things said off camera and one being..

 

When or if we get taken over Shearer WILL take the saints job, and thats straight from the horses mouth.

 

i don't recall saying that(i) heard it straight from the horses mouth....i find it hilarious how some of you buffoons challenge everything people say and brand it nonsense. just take the post as a little inside information and think your selfs lucky people are sharing things with you.im glad i held the best bit back as i cant be assed to waste my time justifying myself.

 

i must say.its spot on what the general opinion of users of this site is.

What a fuc king hilarious thread.

 

Straight from the horse's mouth means the person you are talking about told you themselves.

 

It doesn't mean someone who knows that someone told you.

 

I would expect a eight year old to know that.

 

You pathetic back track (I didn't mean I heard it..LOL) and then resorting to abusing everyone is representative of all that is wrong with this forum.

 

Next time you start a look at me attention seeking post, try not to lie in it for effect.

 

Then you wouldn't have got any abuse. It's pretty simple.

[Deppo]

Or the horse from Rentaghost...

[Matthew Le Tissier]

im confused now. so what if someone who is great pals with shearer says " shearer will take the saints job if we are taken over and thats straight from the horses mouth"

 

does that mean when that is then relayed to me that is not from the horses mouth anymore?

 

who ****ing cares time will tell

[Deppo]

Arkle?

What he said

[anothersaintinsouthsea]

Great thread.

[millsy]

For Christs sake give the guy a break.

 

It seemed pretty obvious to me, considering he was a guest of Matt Le Tissier (Long term freind of Alan Shearer), what was meant by "from the horses mouth".

[saint boggy]

just wait and see. shearer will be the next saints manager.

oh, what joy!!!

another inexperienced manager heading for Saints!!!

 

excuse me if i don't get too excited, won't you :neutral:

[Delmary]

The reaction to this thread is a bit OTT IMHO. It's just harmless gossip.

[Fan The Flames]

 

Straight from the horse's mouth means the person you are talking about told you themselves.

 

It doesn't mean someone who knows that someone told you.

 

No it doesn't,

 

yes it does.

 

It means its information from the inner circle, as it might have escaped you but Mr Ed was fictional, horses can not talk, well not humanish anyway.

 

The information is so good it may well have come from the horses mouth.

 

In this context you can take it to mean the Shearer has actually said to Le Tiss he would consider the job if offered.

 

I find that interesting information, but what I don't find so interesting is the takeover part because its more of an if than a when.

 

So I would like to add that if my dad buys Southampton I would consider the job if offered and that is straight from this horses mouth, naaaaaaigh

[St Chalet]

oh, what joy!!!

We could do worse than stick Shearer up front.

 

I know who MLT (The Poster) is and he has decent connections at the club. He has no reason to spout crap on here so maybe listen to his info, debate the merits if potentially happens but don't drone on about the odd typo.

[stockportsaint]

Absolute rubbish - has nothing to do with people being muppets - purely wanting to substantiate exactly what was said. No one is doubting the fact that the originator is quite likely to be in the know, no one is doubting that he was in good company. We are merely trying to establish who said what to whom in order to clarify the original post.

 

Has nothing whatsoever to do with being weird, more to do with being normal, and well aquainted with the standard of 'snippets' that are posted on this board. Perhaps if you paid the £5 (good value), and used the board more you would see this for youself.

 

I first used this board back in 2001, in the old Network54 days, on dial-up, and have been a regular visitor ever since. However in the last year or two, especially since the demise of SaintsForever, I'm afraid that this response is exactly the reason why I choose to spend most of my free time more productively these days. Whether I pay £5 or not to post inane drivel on this board doesn't make what I have to say any more or less worthwhile. I can read all the posts I want without paying my fiver BTW, so I do know how many windup ITKers there are on here.

 

As for the original post - the fact that he posted a photo of him in the Sky studio means he's not just another ITK wind-up merchant. If he then chooses to keep us guessing as to his source, well it's unlikely to have come from Paul Merson or Charlie Nicholas, surely he doesn't have to spell out exactly who it came from, especially in these more litigious days, perhaps his source asked him to keep it under his hat.

 

The muppets are the people who correct his grammar and spelling - this is not an English homework essay, he's not writing a novel or a textbook, it's simply a virtual "pub", where people exchange news, opinions and gossip. If you corrected the grammar of many pub-goers on a regular basis, you'd likely end up in hospital.

[Guevara]

MLT i believe you for what it's worth!

Jesus, some people need to calm down!

[NickG]

think most people were not stressed or having a go just after clarification.

 

Just comes down to how important things like this are to fans and why they grab hold of them.

 

People want to know whether things are really happening or just gossip (even of gossip is from ex players etc).

 

Think the initial poster either meant he was talking to MLT and MLT said he had heard it from the horses mouth, or was a bit unclear of the meaning of horses mouth (and nothing wrong in that!) thinking it meant people close to info or included second hand info.

 

the phrase means more than hearing from close sources / inner sanctum of ITK people it means directly and personally heard from the person it refers to and who knows it for a fact.

 

Poster was passing on info in good faith and there is no need to have a go -but equally, as it was a bit confusing, shouldn't mind people trying to clarify it.

I know him a bit aswell, as our work coincides with each other now and then and can vouch for him that he is a genuine and honest fan.

Keep up the good work Richard.

Says who?

 

Le Tiss is just Shearer's mate.

 

If you've never over-egged your salary, your house value, the adventurousness of your missus or your sexual conquests to your mates, then you're a better man than me.

 

I got the jist of the original post - I took it to mean exactly how you have interpreted it.

 

But the original poster didn't do himself any favours, by refusing to confirm that (pretty bloody obvious) link and then getting all uppity like he was the keeper of some grand secret.

 

Shearer might or might not be Saints manager in the future, In fact I have written before on this forum why I think it likely he will be (his missus and her family, for a start).

 

The original poster could have written "Shearer told MLT that he would take the managers job if this takeover goes through".

 

No harm done, and he would have got no abuse from anyone.

 

But he didn't - he couldn't resist sexing it up and then getting all abusive, which is typical of the wallies that post on here, I'm afraid and why this forum has a bad name of being full of bullsh it t ers.

 

It takes some doing to post up a picture of yourself next to MLT and still end up looking like a bull sh itt ing plank.

 

Bit of a pity, really.

[JohnnyFartPants]

oh, what joy!!!

excuse me if i don't get too excited, won't you :neutral:

 

I think it would be fantastic news to be honest. Alan Shearer is a football icon figure and would not be joining us or anyone unless there was a pot of gold waiting for him to spend. He is like Dalgleish becoming player manager of Liverpool or Keegan on his first stint at Newcastle. If he is talking about the job then there must still be a take over simmering somewhere because no way would he be interested in it otherwise and neither would he be if it was a tinpot takeover that just meant ownership had changed and he was still strapped for cash.

 

Bottom line is that Shearer as manager would pack St Mary's.

[TopGun]

What a remarkably bad tempered thread. Could go golden!

You sound like a fun chap. I bet you were the clown of the class when you were at school.

 

Why give the fella so much grief when he is just sharing a bit of info he heard? If im not mistaken that's what this site is for.

 

Now why don't you be a happy little camper and get back to your stamp collection.

[Roger]

Thanks for posting le tiss, guys cheer up. Are you really that sad?

Post of the forum, sums it all up rather nicely!

[trousers]

Comedy gold.

 

Consider my £5 for next year in the post.

[itchen]

I quite like our current manager but I can see that after a few weeks it's certainly time for a change. It's served us so well in the past.

Just a quick word from one of 'the muppets'. It appears quite acceptable for the originator to tell others to 'learn to read' yet totally unacceptable for me to tell him to 'learn to write' - double standards in the extreme. The point was (is) that it appears fine for him to chastise and abuse others, but he, for some reason is exempt.

 

What you fail to realise, is that I, like many here are actually very interested in the 'snippet' that was being mooted. If you post here, be prepared to have people read and comment on your information. All that most of us were trying to do is validate exactly what was said, by whom, to whom. We are not doubting his claims at all - photo or no photo - who cares. Lets be honest if most of us spent the afternoon with a good source would we not have 'interogated' him for as much information as we could glean - I think so.

 

Yes it decended into farce, and I played my part in it - but if you are going to throw insults to other posters about their reading ability - expect some back. Stick your head over the parapit, expect it to get shot at.

[Rorytheking]

Thankyou MLT :prayer:

[EFM]

Blimey! This all turned a bit nasty!

 

It just seemed like a happy thread from someone who had had a great day and dropped in an interesting snippet he heard from someone who we all admire and respect (probably). Admittedly NOT the horse's mouth but still interesting.

 

For what it's worth, which is not very much, I think some of you have been a bit harsh on the guy. But that's just my opinion.

 

I totally agree with a poster above about correcting people's grammar and punctuation when you don't agree with their opinion. Does it really matter on a football chat site if someone's writing is not impeccable?

 

I'm trying to keep the peace here by the way not re-start the argument.

 

I'd still like to know how you get an invite from (the) MLT to go to the Sky studio though.

[ecuk268]

I caught a bit of Soccer Saturday. Apparently, MLT had criticised Heskey's inclusion in the England squad and someone rang in saying that Heskey was brilliant and better than a certain fat , lazy midfielder who spent all games strolling around the pitch and taking pot-shots from 30 yards.

 

Matt came back with "and happened to score a goal every other game".

 

Beat that Mr Heskey.

[graymalkin33]

awwww Ponty - Chin Up

 

MLT well done for posting the original Item.

You must have had an excellent day there. Great Pic. I would imagine there are many many on here that would like to be photographed with Matt LeTissier

I would have liked to have gone.

 

Anyone being abusive is just jealous, ignorant, stupid - oh there are so many words to describe them....

 

But anyway I for one hope that Shearer does not become manager IF/WHEN we get taken over because with millions to spend id rather have a proven coach or JP in charge.

Logically, why would JP (on the 'unproven' side of your equation) be any different, in terms of risk, to Alan Shearer, given they are both 'unproven'?
