He's joined the legions of absolute mental cases who believe Russia have done nothing wrong and this is all propaganda from Ukraine and the west.

Sunglasses Ron Posted 5 April, 2022 Share Posted 5 April, 2022 I wonder where our club would be today without his efforts in the 90's? I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that it could be a far worse place. In summary - Legend. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 5 April, 2022 Share Posted 5 April, 2022 Some things in life are more important than football. A three year old girl being tied up, raped, murdered and dumped on a pile of other civilian bodies trumps a last minute equaliser at West Ham in my book. The bloke is an absolute sausage jockey of the highest level and I just can’t distinguish his footballing talents from his abject failings as a human being. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dellman Posted 5 April, 2022 Share Posted 5 April, 2022 He loves being different. As a Saints player we loved it too. But when it comes to basics of living he deliberately chooses the 'different' and just looks daft. Such a shame. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 5 April, 2022 Share Posted 5 April, 2022 Unfortunately, Rickie Lambert's the same on Instagram.

Unfortunately he's not going to stop, he's performing his "research" on GETTR now which is just a nest of extreme right wing QAnon loons in an echo chamber and he's rapidly becoming their hero. Not sure there's much way back from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 5 April, 2022 Share Posted 5 April, 2022 Sad to see his radicalisation over the last couple of years.

nta786 Posted 5 April, 2022 Share Posted 5 April, 2022 It is embarrassing really and the greatest shame from all this would be if his opinions detract from what he achieved on the pitch with us. I mean really his views are always gonna be tied to us, any article or anything you read will forever have him known as a Southampton legend but it puts us in the paper for largely the wrong reasons. It's never too late, best thing he can do in my opinion is get off social media and go play some golf. In a few years time it might just pass over and I can start to remember him again for his talent on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what his views are but if he's saying he doesn't believe what's reported its more a reflection of his opinion of how manipulative and untrustworthy certain media outlets / govt are rather than support of Russia? Propaganda definitely works on both sides. Anyway as someone who was at most of his games from late 80s to early 00s and I've met him a few times hes always a lovely bloke to chat to and remember the old Dell days. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 5 April, 2022 Share Posted 5 April, 2022 (edited) Embarrassment. Unfollowed him on Twitter probably eighteen months ago, and deleted photos that I had with him from Instagram mainly through embarrassment 😂 A bit like Rickie Lambert, although he is easily swayed and is thick as shit. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, I’ll never be against that, I like a healthy debate. But there’s having an opinion and just being a bellend, he is currently the latter. As soon as he was on GBeebies (GB News) talking bollocks with Dan Wooton - that was enough, somehow, again… Utter tosspot now.
