I don’t know the guy at all. Obviously seen him on Soccer Saturday and then quite a few one to one interviews. Always seems a genuine, down to earth bloke with decent football knowledge. Doesn’t seem arrogant at all, not even close. In fact maybe thats why he’s not a manager; he lacks that.
, no idea how anyone finds that out.
I remember watching Town play Saints at their place in the FA Cup, years ago. Everyone was raving about MLT and how much trouble he’d cause us. .. but Saints had a young striker in their team that day, and his performance blew me away. He was streets better than MLT…. His name?marko69 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2024 10:56 amI don’t know the guy at all. Obviously seen him on Soccer Saturday and then quite a few one to one interviews.

And lazy? Well, no idea how anyone finds that out.
I don't know Marko, as you point out... I don't know the bloke either and my opinion could be waaaay off, but there's something about him that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Afterall, I can be an opinionated bore, but we only share our opinions on forums. Le Tissier very publicly and confidently denies Covid (even claiming Eriksen had his cardiac arrest because of the vaccine, despite him not even having had a vaccine), along with 9/11 and Ukrainian claims of Russian war crimes etc... and then moans "woe is me" when he's let go by Sky. It's arrogance to state such things to a huge audience without having expertise in any of those areas.
As a player he was unique and brilliantly talented, but he was as lazy a player as you'd find, there are countless examples of coaches and players saying he didn't bother training, he didn't bother tracking back, didn't bother with tactics etc. He was a big fish in a small pond at Southampton, he had teams built around him and that's how he liked it. He wouldn't have cut it at a big club, because he couldn't continue his lazy antics.
He has talked many times about his England career too, how he was overlooked, how it was because people didn't like him etc. A humble man would give credit to the other incredible players that England had at the time, and note that they would integrate in to team in a way he wouldn't. Maybe he would suggest that if he worked a bit harder and applied himself, then he wouldn't have been overlooked.
That's the feeling I get anyway
You must be on Xmas hols......., way too much effort on MLT research there. Probably the most comprehensive review of what went on that I can see:
and one swallow doesn't make a summer, but it seems there are a lot of swallows when it comes to Le Tissier and I choose not to like the bloke! If you retweet someone else's opinion on twitter, then in my eyes it's tantamount to saying it yourself. Especially when you're in the public eye, you cannot play fast and loose and then claim you disagree with the people you've endorsed, which he hasn't even done by the way, he's happily doubled down on his beliefs, he has not even deleted the link, let alone distanced himself from it. It's not an isolated instance either, it's one of probably 20 or 30 similar instances it seems too.marko69 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2024 4:53 pmYes, I see absolutely fk all in those links you posted to dislike the guy about. According to those links, he said absolutely nowt. He retweeted stuff.
But there must be something on the WWW more convincing....., maybe something actually coming from the man himself instead of what others "said" that he "said".

I thought they were bang average at our place and I was incensed with the ref sending Phillips off in thst game, because without doubt we'd have won that with 11 men.
Some on here forget that Liz and think all our defeats are either Muric or McKennas fault. Certainly pre Mark Ashton’s meeting with Howard Webb we had more than our fair share of poor refereeing and VAR decisions.hallamblue wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2024 3:48 pmI thought they were bang average at our place and I was incensed with the ref sending Phillips off in thst game, because without doubt we'd have won that with 11 men.
