Tottenham Hotspur manager and former Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino nearly produced a slip of the tongue prior to his current team’s 2-0 win against Watford on Monday night, and Saints fans were quick to react.Speaking to Sky Sports before the clash against the Hornets, the 46-year-old former St Mary’s chief was in the middle of answering a question when he said: “The history and the passion of South… sorry Tottenham”, and it didn’t go unnoticed by followers of his former club.Pochettino was a controversial appointment for the south coast outfit at the time, but he quickly brought them success with a high-press style and quick, incisive passing, helping them to an eighth-place finish before moving on to Tottenham.Southampton supporters, who have renewed confidence on Twitter that they can get a positive result at Everton this weekend, took to social media to have their say on Pochettino’s faux pas, and while one said “he still loves us”, another urged their club to “bring him home!!”Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…[ad_pod ]
