Saints need to heap more woe on Redknapp
7:00am Thursday 28th February 2013 in Sport

Harry Redknapp
There may be a feeling of a score to settle amongst Saints fans ahead of Harry Redknapp’s return to St Mary’s this weekend.
But the result of the game is of much greater importance to the club in general.
Feelings have always run high towards Redknapp on the south coast.
His remarkable jumps from Portsmouth to Southampton and back to Portsmouth are the kind of thing we are never likely to see again.
That he was in charge when Saints were relegated and led Pompey during a very successful spell certainly hasn’t been forgotten, by fans of either side.
Saints fans regularly chant Harry’s name still, but, as he is probably well aware, and certainly will be on Saturday, not in the most complimentary of songs.
It’s easy to get distracted by the ‘Redknapp return’ hype.
In some ways it’s perfectly understandable.
Despite only a comparatively brief tenure in charge of the club, he remains a major figure in its recent history, and a controversial one.
However, Saints fans should not get too pre-occupied with simply barracking Redknapp.
The significance of this game for their side should not be underestimated and, if all goes well, there will be plenty of time for gloating at the final whistle.

look - he was our manager for a short while some time ago and he wasn't very good for us. Thats all there is to it.
Boo him when he walks out the tunnel if you must but then ignore him and get on with supporting Saints.
Twitchy is part of our history, nothing more. He has (thankfully) nothing to do with the amazing journey we are on now.
DO NOT get sucked into the emotional frenzy the DE is evidently trying to stir up

The important thing is the players not getting wrapped up in the emotion. The players need to concentrate on the job in hand and the fans need to concentrate on giving Harry a birthday he will NEVER forget.

Rednapp then goes back to pmuff and beats us with a result that effectively sent us down..double snake.
pmuff greatest admiration of HR and why their incredibly vicious lowlife mob still admire him having been instrumental in bankrupting them is more than the fa cup the relegation of us..

Now what about the Morgan Schneiderlin viewpoint ... it is absolutely disgraceful that the object of five stories this week is not mentioned in this story. Not only does Morgan demand three points from this fixture but he actually wants to score some of the goals .. where is that mentioned here? Major oversight !!

Triple whammy..
Move us up the table further, send the twitchy crook further down, and help a wider audience realize he's useless.

Didn't he come from a family of interesting words?
There was Sigmundfreud (to get joy from imagining you're bedwettingly brilliant), Emmafreud (to write or edit a story that is so beyond belief that people believe it must be based on some sort of fact) and Clementfreud (to become the spitting image of your bloodhound, as in, 'Redknapp twitched once more and then, having resigned himself to the fact that he was cr4p, QPR's mercenaries were in the poo and no one in the footballing world liked him, he stared into the mirror and said, "Henry, shall we open another tin of Chunky Meat?"

I remember when Hoddle brought his Spurs team to St Mary's for the first time after he left us - the atmosphere was amazing and must have helped lift the team to go on to beat Spurs 1-0. More of the same except 4-0 sounds better this time. Let's give the saggy faced lying crook a very unhappy birthday.
I can see it being a tighter affair with us winning by the odd goal, 2-1 or 3-2.
