Arsed Off
‘FOR fans of Southampton, it is case of JUST SAY NO.
|
| It’s hard to disagree… |
They are saying No! to the return of Glenn Hoddle, and saying it with banners waved at Highbury last night.
The Telegraph suggests that the Southampton faithful were also most likely saying goodbye to Gordon Strachan as their manager.
The man who wore a ginger hat and led the Saints with large doses of brio and skill might just have overseen his final Southampton game.
If he has, the Independent is of the opinion that it is Southamptons loss. The Scot will indeed be a tough act to follow.
Just listen to his assessment of his sides 2-0 defeat at Arsenal last night, as told to the Sun.
Im told [Thierry] Henrys first goal was yards offside and that Ray Parlour has admitted he smashed Danny Higginbottom across the face with his elbow before the second.
Ah, how we will miss him.
As we would miss Thierry Henry, the Arsenal forward and officially second-best player in the world. The Star is of the opinion that Real Madrid covert the French striker and want to make him one of their number.
Of course, these days, being courted by the Spanish giants is a rite of passage for all players who want to be truly great. Its like a badge of approval. Real Madrid want you so you must be good.
And when talk turns to Real Madrid, the camera invariably clicks at David Beckham, who is in conversation with the Times.
Peppering his interview with the words unbelievable and amazing, the England captain is happy with life in Spain.
The first day I was really nervous, says Day-vid. I needed to feel welcomed.
And so he was, and now hed welcome the chance to go back to Old Trafford in a competitive match.
Id love to go to Old Trafford as a Real Madrid player, says Uniteds former hero. To be in a game like that would be a dream.
And to score the winner from a deflection off Alex Fergusons purple brow, a recurring fantasy…’
