damn it, just when things were looking up for the Saints...

The players bought into his vision, wholeheartedly. So much so, that at least one leading Southampton player has a clause in his contract that links his own future to Cortese's. The worst case scenario for the club is that manager follows chairman and players follow manager.

A presentation to the players in April last year did not ask if Southampton can win the Premier League, but how can they win it?

This was Cortese's vision for Southampton, one shared by Pochettino, by defender Luke Shaw, by midfielder Adam Lallana, and by forward Jay Rodriguez and the rest.

Nothing was left to chance. Everything was planned, analysed, discussed. The club's poor away form was one issue. Why did they struggle?

Cortese refused to accept the club's geographical location as an explanation. Players were asked to fill out questionnaires. What time did they wake up at home? What were their habits? Did their children wake them, did the dog? The results were analysed and changes were made.

The things that bugs me is that they are doing it the right way (and maybe it is the only way they can do it) by developing their players through the Southampton football academy. They have some talented young guys on the team and I like the aggressive style of football that they play under Pochettino. I just hope that is all doesn't go down the crapper.

Montreal Impact just drafted this guy in the first round of the MLS draft



@EMillllllllller: If you're not watching the USA Mexico in World Cup Qualifying, you might as well just move to Canada.

Did the Caps draft a player who is currently under contact to the New York Cosmos of the NASL?

When reached for comment on the signing, Cosmos CEO Erik Stover confirmed that the Cosmos have reached an agreement on contract in principle.

"We agreed to a deal in principle with the player a while ago, and he's under contract with us now pending approval from U.S. Soccer," Stover told Goal USA. "We haven't made an official announcement yet since we're in the process of finalizing the terms of the developmental agreement with his club in Jamaica."

The development is another embarrassing player personnel fiasco for a Whitecaps side still coping with the fallout of MLS Golden Boot winner Camilo’s highly publicized departure from the club. Camilo was sold by the Whitecaps after having gone to Mexico and posing with a Queretaro jersey as if he had signed, despite the fact he was still under contract with Vancouver.

The fact that the Cosmos were able to sign Lewis may come as a surprise to some considering he was just drafted by the Whitecaps, but MLS draft picks are generally not signed until after being drafted and taking part in training camp. Usually only Generation adidas players (top college underclassmen) and select top seniors are signed to contracts before the draft.

Liverpool Fan Unconcerned With Injured Aston Villa Player

This is hilarious. The bald fat man in the front row would rather snap a pick than help the poor bugger off the concrete.
