Thanks Pap! I apologise, I lost my shit for a second then and shouldn’t have resorted to such drastic threats.
What if he was going to vote you up anyway? Does that mean I do or do not owe you? These points could be crutial at some point.
I know, I was only jesting. That and trying to appear nonchalant and keeping him at arm’s length as I’ve been burnt before 
. Ha
He is definitely Wenger’s protege… dull as dishwater! But still, i’m positive about the impact he’s going to have with us. We were very successful under Pochettino with his high pressing style, so if we can replicate that with the squad we have now I genuinely think we can push on and finish even higher this season, although Europa League could have a big impact on that…
If he gets us consistently playing attractive, attacking football*, we achieve a solid upper mid-table finish and go on a little run in the Europa, he can bore the tits off** as many interviewers as he likes.
*Let’s face it - Koeman can’t be faulted for his end of season results, but we had some dire spells of hoofball within his reign.
**Pun slightly intended.

Oi … I’ve already bagsied that tune for my little ditty earlier on in this fred FFS.
Bloody Goats comin over ere and stealing our songs.
Wot next … Bloody Bears shitting in our woods?
Why isn’t ‘Food glorious Food’ used as a song? Virgil’s the mustard, Koeman’s a …bustard?
Yeah, the interview was pretty dull, but I’d imagine that’s in large part to it being carried out in English. He’s obviously not as comfortable using it as Ron and was obviously taking time to try to put his thoughts into the right words. Shows why Eric Black was brought in as well, hopefully his input will ensure the players aren’t bored to death!
Where have I heard the name Eric Black before has he previously worked for Saints?
To the tune of Good King Wenceslas (thanks Bearsy)
Ahem…
James Ward-Prowse in our midfield
Next to Jordy ClasieThey both like to pass the ball
Passy passy passy
We’ve got Shane Long in attack*
He is our crown jew-el
With Jose Fonte** and VVD
and our manager Claude Puuuuu-el
* This line can be changed as and when our players are sold to Liverpool (e.g. “Fraser Forster in our goal” or “Charlie Austin in attack”, “VVD in our defence”, etc.)
** That’s “Font” not “Font-ay”, thanks.

Took over from Remi Garde at Villa last season!!
I definitely noticed it, but I didn’t go as far as to be miffed by it…
_We won 20 games on the trot, won both domestic cups, the Europa League, and qualified for the Champions’ League…but the gloss was taken off the whole season for me when I saw his top button undone. _

I was infuriated by his top button being undone. We’ve left the EU in order to stamp this sort of bullshit out. You don’t come over here, Puel, with your unkempt attire and slow, dull English. FUCK OFF!

Maybe you are thinking of Ian Black who played post war in goal for us., and who’s claim to fame is that he is the only player in The 20th Century to be capped by Scotland whilst on our books!!
Get onto Facebook boys and girls.
Puel’s first training session is being live-streamed.

For some reason, and I don’t know why, I assumed it was going to be more interesting than this.
