Bad Wolf Posted 15 June, 2014 Share Posted 15 June, 2014 He's a WWE fan, which means he lives in the fantasy world. Said he delivered something to his house - someone should ask him where Mr Rodgers lives. Silly comment. In that case anyone who enjoys films or any fictional TV series also lives in a fantasy world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 15 June, 2014 Share Posted 15 June, 2014 Wow! You WWE fans can be really touchy!! Not sure, but if WWE is anything to do with "wrestling" then Touchy is far too polite. The C word would be closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeySFC Posted 15 June, 2014 Share Posted 15 June, 2014 Anyone who likes Wrestling is a c**t as far as I'm concerned, watching a scripted sporting series and commenting with things like 'OH I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT JUST HAPPENED' is f**king ludicrous. Brainless, moronic 'sport' of the highest order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted 15 June, 2014 Share Posted 15 June, 2014 Is nepotism good? It's weird isn't ? In just about any other area of work, apart from a family firm of course, to employ a relative would be seen as close to corrupt. In football, anything goes.

Dalek2003 Posted 15 June, 2014 Share Posted 15 June, 2014 So, we still haven't signed Koeman yet. Won't get my hopes up until confirmation that he is Saints manager, too much speculation at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Saint Posted 15 June, 2014 Share Posted 15 June, 2014 Our potential no.2. has managed Hungary, Feyenoord, and most recently RKC Waalwijk - the team that Martin Jol managed for 6 years before getting the Spurs job - albeit to relegation. That is more impressive than WBA's new manager's track-record. Think about that for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 15 June, 2014 Share Posted 15 June, 2014 Look back over your last 100 posts or so - you have consistently claimed the board are incompetent. Yes, but in this post I was just saying the back room team are often as important as the Manager, have you got an issue with that? If you are going to pick up on something, use one of these other 100 posts you mention, not one where I didn't criticise the Board at all, and was just making a sensible point. If they appoint Koeman then well done to them, they appear to be in control of the situation. There will still be an exodus of players which is a shame, and Ralph's PR at the start of the summer was dreadful, but there has been an improvement seemingly, although let's see how many players go and who the replacements are.

That does worry me slightly although if it is just down to transfer budget then lets hope he is given a decent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can do the same at Southampton. Rumours are that he is going to take our striker , Graziano Pelle with him. Also a great move. This Italian scored about 50 goals the last 2 weeks, very popular at Feyenoord. . A good bloke, sometimes a bit too full of himself, but when you score nobody bothers about that.
