VINE: Ronald Koeman talking about chips and mayonnaise is oddly hypnotic

Good point Ronnie

Darragh Murphy

“Chips without mayonnaise is not chips!”

Those are the words that will be circling around our predominantly absent minds as we drift off to sleep after a tough day of SportsJOEing.

The Saints boss has lit the figurative lightbulbs of T-shirt salesmen around Southampton as Ronald Koeman seems to have nailed his go-to catchphrase.

Koeman uttered the unusually memorable six words during a press conference ahead of Southampton’s trip to Loftus Road on Saturday.

The sound bite didn’t come out of nowhere but, rather, came by way of response when the Dutchman was asked about a story that broke yesterday in which former teammate Rob McDonald claimed that Koeman once dipped chips in mayonnaise in an act of defiance against dietary rules during his time at Groningen.

Keep up the good work Ronald.
