Saints Stuff

Open goal?

Is this a chain of double entrendres? Can I add one! *checks wizard's sleeve*

 

I know where I've seen him before:

Manolo in his Italian Kit & Manolo in his zombie killing kit

 

It is a fact of life that some people look scruffy in Armani and the lucky few look terrific in work jeans and a T-shirt.

 

I think he looks like Dr Reed in Criminal Minds in that photo

 

I don't know how well the black box works in Serbia but Partisan Belgrade have a sensational centre forward this year
Uroš Đurđević
aged 23, can't stop scoring.
please pass this on to the Saints scouting team!

 

Did anyone talk about the excellent interview with Eric Black in the Sunday Times?

 

No but I will. It's good. Particularly liked the line about Les Reed, if he do get taken over in some form then I really hope there isn't a clearout at the top.

I spotted that one, but being a gent ....

 

I guess you mean we, not Les Reed!

Romeu discussing Saints ability to replace players....in this case Virgil (if he leaves). I like the positive attitude that Oriol has to Saints.

 

Unless I'm missing something, is there any reason why our game v United couldn't be played on FA Cup semi final weekend?

 

Papers talking about Chelsea using Ake as part of a deal for VVD. Obviously swap deals so rarely happen and this is paper talk, but it's an interesting point. Saints are in such a strong position due to VVD not really forcing a move and having a long contract. Imagine if we agreed with Chelsea that if they sell us Ake for £15/20m this summer, they can have VVD for £50/60m next!

As I say, that is so unrealistic but would love to have Ake as part of our team!

 

Yep, I like Oriol's attitude too. He's sat on so many substitute benches and had time to think about his place in football and how the teams he plays for can cope and achieve. However, reading that article left me with two things to take away. One, I certainly don't think VVD will be leaving this summer unless Saints want to have the record for recouping the most money ever for a defender. And two, this photograph:

I would title this photo: **** Off.!
​

As Matt Targett said when asked who was the hardest player at Southampton, he said "Oriol. Loves a tackle." That question was asked last season.

 

United are playing Burnley then.

 

There's always a bloody excuse.!

 

Ah. Thought I might be missing something
