Saints Icon Says Come And Get Me To Jurgen Klopp
Will Liverpool raid the South Coast yet again ? as a Saints legend invites Jurgen Klopp to come and get him . Saints fans will de devastated at the news !
One of the pleasures of the Virgil Van Dijk saga has been the responses on his twitter account from Saints legend Matt Le Tissier to the Liverpool media frenzy, but we didn't expect him to jump ship and want to join Liverpool himself.
Clearly he has been unsettled by what must surely constitute an illegal approach from the Merseyside club.
On his twitter account @mattletiss7 Le God declared.
"Happy deadline day everybody, keeping my phone on in case Jurgen calls if the VVD one falls thru, i can play sweeper in a back 3 😉"
This would be a mighty blow to Saints supporters if the man who has been loyal to the club for over 30 years suddenly uprooted to Merseyside.
However the Saints faithful would not blame him, as good as fast food outlets are in Southampton, in truth they could never match the opportunities offered on Merseyside, in Hampshire Le Tiss is restricted to the normal McDonalds fare and a man of his talents must surely aspire to test himself in the chip shops of Liverpool.
Nowhere down here can you get a Pie Dinner consisting of a Meat & Potatoe pie, chips, mushy peas and a dollop of onion gravy, this is the Champions League of takeaways and Le Tiss would want to test himself at the top level.
So he will sit by his phone and hope that Jurgen The German makes that call and he can join Jamie, Stevie and of course Jan Molby in the Lobster Pot tonight.
What to read next:
Stoke AwaydazeOur visit to Stoke City is on Boxing Day evening, with kick-off at 8pm, having been put back by our very good friends at Sky Sports.
Preston AwaydazeOur visit to Deepdale is on Saturday, with a 12.30pm kick off, and once again we’re live on Sky Sports. As the name Preston North End suggests, the stadium is a mile or so to the north of the town centre.
Leeds ease to comfortable win over DerbyThe game played out as most of the fans on both sides would have predicted, apart from the identity of the two goalscorers. It took a while for us to break down a stubborn Derby County defence, but once we had scored the two goals there was only going to be one way this game was going to finish.
Leeds drawn at home to Harrogate in the FA CupTonight’s draw for the third round of the FA Cup threw up several local derbies, and the most enticing of all must be our all-Yorkshire clash with Harrogate Town, with the two clubs being only 15 miles apart.
Disappointing Leeds go down at BlackburnOur defeat to Blackburn Rovers has caused plenty of moaning on social media, while Daniel Farke has blamed our hectic fixture schedule. But it was a shame the team picked the game with our biggest travelling support of the season to serve up one of their worst away performances.
Blackburn AwaydazeThis season’s trip to Blackburn Rovers is tomorrow with kick-off at 1.30, provided the pitch has dried out enough after last week’s postponement. Once again it looks like we’ll be taking the biggest away following in the Championship this season.
Farke sees room for improvement despite victoryLeeds duly went back to the top of the table with a fairly routine victory over Luton Town, but Daniel Farke thought the win should have been even more emphatic when he spoke to the BBC after the game.
Leeds fighting spirit wins through as we beat Swansea to go topLeeds were twice behind in this incredible game at Swansea City, and then seemed to have victory snatched away right at the death. But each time we fought back and our sheer determination finally secured the victory that we needed to finish the weekend on top of the Championship.
