HarvSFC Posted 1 August, 2021 Share Posted 1 August, 2021 Jose Fonte captained Jeremy Pied's Lille to the French equivalent of the Community Shield tonight. They just play their version in Israel. A 1-0 win over Pochettino's PSG. But, don't worry, this is one of the two trophies Pochettino has won in his managerial career. Diallo's brother was playing left-back for PSG too, so plenty of Saints links within the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Keef Posted 9 August, 2021 Share Posted 9 August, 2021 Re Bertrand - There is no doubting he served us well over the years but part of me thinks for the past couple of seasons he was "phoning in" his performance each week. He definitely looked "half arsed" towards the end. We needed to get rid with some fresh legs down the left (Perraud hopefully will supply that) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 17 August, 2021 Share Posted 17 August, 2021 Missed this at the weekend, but Lemina's debut at Nice ended with them winning 4-0 against Jose Fonte's champions Lille. Pretty good start at his new club. Once Schneiderlin is fit it will be interesting to see them link up in a Saints defectors midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiberalCommunist Posted 17 August, 2021 Share Posted 17 August, 2021 As the Brandon Williams rumour circulated on here for so long this summer, and the fan base was truly split on him be a potential legend or a massive waste of money, I feel he's earnt his place on the defectors thread. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does at Norwich. My guess right now, this season will be a steep learning curve for him ending in relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall Dutch bloke who played CB and could hit an impressive pass out of defence (according to Youtube). Same boxes ticked as VVD. Obviously a surefire winner. Les was perfectly relaxed about it.

It's not an FA Cup or Premier League title but it's a hell of a lot better than a kick in the teeth. Picking up silverware (of whatever kind) is the kind of thing ex-footballers remember when they're retired. Theo's 2 Community Shield medals look pretty nice in his trophy cabinet anyway. Oh and yes you're right! Greedy agents, simulation, FIFA and bribery aren't what's wrong with modern football. No no, it's people thinking a trophy is a trophy that's really sticking the boot into our beautiful game.
