hamster Posted 22 October, 2008 Posted 22 October, 2008 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'.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 22 October, 2008 Posted 22 October, 2008 Dalek will be creamimg his underpants.
benjii Posted 22 October, 2008 Posted 22 October, 2008 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.
Saint Martini Posted 22 October, 2008 Posted 22 October, 2008 Dalek will be creamimg his underpants. He'll be standing outside staplewood with a banner saying: "welcome back Glenn"
Leslie Charteris Posted 22 October, 2008 Posted 22 October, 2008 Dalek will be creamimg his underpants. Joe Strummer? - cool! I saw the Clash at the Top Rank, oh, 30 years ago. Good times. There is more chance of the Clash playing there again than Hoddle coming back to Saints (I hope).
NickG Posted 22 October, 2008 Posted 22 October, 2008 got excited for a minute -not at Hoddle's return -but at a decent rumour been a bit dull on takeover front lately!
hamster Posted 22 October, 2008 Author Posted 22 October, 2008 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.
dubai_phil Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 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.....

Window Cleaner Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 True. Apparently Glen is a big fan of The Catcher in the Rye. Well he was in his previous life. Arguably the best book ever written. Parodied of course by David Mitchell Black Swan Green.

Window Cleaner Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 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.
.comsaint Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 I'm reading an interesting book at the moment called The History of Glue. I can't put it down...

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

Wow, the internet is full of useful information isn't it http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0758409/bio 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.

Window Cleaner Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 Wow, the internet is full of useful information isn't it http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0758409/bio Wow, didn't know Chapman was reading the Catcher or that Salinger is with AOL.
Big Bad Bob Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 Wow, didn't know Chapman was reading the Catcher or that Salinger is with AOL. Hence the connection back to John Lennon I guess!!
Guest Hacienda Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 Dalek will be creamimg his underpants. I'm betting he's already cracked one off.

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!
saintbletch Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 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 Mentalist

OldNick Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 on sky a week or so ago it said that Hoddles acadamy was going to play a game against Saints reserves(?)
VectisSaint Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 on sky a week or so ago it said that Hoddles acadamy was going to play a game against Saints reserves(?) Reserves/first team/academy/u-10s, its all the same isn't it?

the stain Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 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" That would be amazing! Although I'd expect it to be largely just a man, stood in a field of rye at dawn, listening to voices in his head.
Window Cleaner Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 That would be amazing!

The catcher in the rye is a poem that keeps running through his head.It's by Rabbie Burrrrns.
Viking Warrior Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 yep hoddle and his academy are playing a game behind close doors on the 29th at Stapleford. Hoddle will also be bringing with him his revolutionary football coach Im not sure of his full name but he is well known in spanish football Does Javi ring a bell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NickG Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 one of those books you always hear mentioned but never read - whats it like?
Window Cleaner Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 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.
Dalek2003 Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 He'll be standing outside staplewood with a banner saying: "welcome back Glenn" This could be a good opportunity for all fans to show Glenn that we want him back to save our club !!!
rocknrollman no2 Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 This could be a good opportunity for all fans to show Glenn that we want him back to save our club !!! Hasnt Hoddle had a restraining order put out on you yet?
Guest Hacienda Posted 23 October, 2008 Posted 23 October, 2008 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.
Fan The Flames Posted 24 October, 2008 Posted 24 October, 2008 This could be a good opportunity for all fans to show Glenn that we want him back to save our club !!! I would be there to greet him if mooneying wasn't an arrestable offence.
Window Cleaner Posted 24 October, 2008 Posted 24 October, 2008 I would be there to greet him if mooneying wasn't an arrestable offence. 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've heard there is a Bollywood version coming soon. There back on topic now.
Window Cleaner Posted 24 October, 2008 Posted 24 October, 2008 . I've heard there is a Bollywood version coming soon. There back on topic now. Yup the Charwallah in the Chapati is sure to be a big box office success in Hounslow. Mind you I did quite like their version of Pride and Prejudice, most amusing.
once_bitterne Posted 24 October, 2008 Posted 24 October, 2008 Does Javi ring a bell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In a Westwood-esque fashion you mean?
Master Bates Posted 30 October, 2008 Posted 30 October, 2008 Molami Bokoto who is on trial with the Saints, scored with a spectacular overhead kick as Saints drew 1-1 in yesterday's friendly against Glenn Hoddle’s Academy.

dubai_phil Posted 30 October, 2008 Posted 30 October, 2008 We can't even beat a team who aren't a real FOOTBALL CLUB TEAM EVERYBODY OUT........... On the subject of out, when is the Bollywood version due for premiere?
Master Bates Posted 30 October, 2008 Posted 30 October, 2008 Where's you get that from MB? Also, he shares your initials!!!!! Ha ha ha so he does, got it from a journo mate, wasn't wrong last time so fingers crossed.

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!
hamster Posted 30 October, 2008 Author Posted 30 October, 2008 Ha ha ha so he does, got it from a journo mate, wasn't wrong last time so fingers crossed. Who played MB? I know a couple of 'senior players' (LOL) were signing calendars in the afternoon, did they put out a team of reserves?
