    We've had some great gaffers through the ages, but boy is this guy jumping into the top places fast.
    In a very short period, he has managed to get his Saints team a win at Old Trafford, the Emirates & Stamford Bridge. Add a couple more big names this season & we'll have to start planning the statue.
    Legend.......nearly

    Yep, sad to go out of the Europa league so early but win us a cup, I will make the statue myself and there is nothing wrong with Lego.

    Yep, midget land are actually doing very well and surprising a few teams in their group. Get a euro spot again & learn from this experience I reckon. So, cup win it is then. <bubbly>

    Err, no thanks, Rawmok. We've already had one where the artist didn't know what he was doing. :)

    Don't write off doing it through the league just yet. The leaves are only just turning colour...

    While we have the special talents of players like Mane, I really hope we can do something amazing in the cups. Finishing 7th was brilliant, but if we are to lose a couple big players again, I'd like us to write a bit of history along the way.

    Very much looking forward to dinner and drinks with Ronald in December. :)

    Absolutely. There's an awful lot of attitude that's oh well that's the end of that then. No it isn't. The leaves haven't even started turning in my neck of the woods [unfortunately it's still the same time of the year though] and October is no time to be writing off a league position. Have a bit of faith. Isn't that what supporters are supposed to do.?

    We should build a statue of Koeman and Adkins holding hands, smiling and laughing, whilst skipping gaily along with a bunch of cute forest animals and children by their side.

    Glad to see Ronald with a smile back on his face. First couple of results...he was understanding and said it was just a case of settling in. Next few results and he was getting distinctly unhappy...alright beating Swansea but it was in the wrong way apparently :) Now he's got a team playing the way he wants just before the international break....so he will trot off to Portugal happy....leaving Sammy Lee and Forbsie in charge. <laugh>

    What? I thought the original statue cut a rather dashing figure.

    This is obviously a definition of dashing that I was previously unaware of. :)
