I think this is not completely impossible. Would be a good PR move by NC.

Benitez is not Pep. He could come to us, yes. Like Sven going to Leicester. Still at the unlikely end of the scale though

Simply, no he isn't. Unless you happen to be two years old.

Q Mental. Proper mental. Signing a player that no other club seriously wanted for £12m is a million miles from Saints appointing world football's hottest manager. You're in fairyland, as usual.

Naah. Doesn't and won't work like that. If Cortese sacks Adkins, replaces badly and we go down, maybe NC would deserve to be fired. Maybe. But at this point in the season, Cortese sacking NA (if he does) is just Nicola doing his job.

I said nothing of the sort. I did say he knows more about him than you do, and he does. And those quotes are very similar to the stuff Vickery was saying anyway. If you can't handle even the slightest suggestion from one journalist that Gaston Ramires may not be the world's most perfect footballer then that's your problem. Stick to the official site mate. Everything is perfect there. You don't get the real world ruining it.

Join the cult brother. It's the only way.

He's not two years ahead of the plan. Cortese expected us to win the league last year.

Phil Brown, Mick McCarthy.

Maybe next time don't put it on a thread called James Ward Prowse. Well done though. Sent from my GT-I9100P using Tapatalk 2

Footballer of the Year was a sensational game. Loved it. Emlyn Hughes International was a great game on the Amstrad too.

Who? Cork? Or JWP?

So what is the "bad mistake" the OP is talking about?

It will be exactly the same as your first line shows. The minute Adkins is sacked, the Cult-of-Cortese weasels will go swiftly about the task of junking Adkins great work and record. Just like the sneering at Pardew above. Pardew stuck two fingers up at these twa ts of course doing a bang up job at Newcastle. Adkins will be swept aside and sneered at just the same.

His twitter feed doesn't say anything of the sort that I can see.

Nowhere near as good as QPRs.

All the eighties kits are striped except the white shoulders one. And the hummel kit was effing brilliant and of its time. You could say the same about the air florida one too. It was an age of every team having mental kits. This kit isn't like that. It's just an anodyne all red kit for no particular reason. Lots of people (a majority) don't like it. But we're stuck with it.

He'd surprise me. He's great for us but don't see him as good enough for international stage. Nice call up for him but not convinced he's particularly close to getting a game any time soon. But you never know.

Oh, and just thought about David Moyes too. The biggest criticism he gets is "he's never won anything". Bet he'd take a couple of cups over a couple of league placings over the season.

This. Villa did precisely this a couple of seasons back. Mental. Winning any cup is better than a "good" league placing. Winning the Europa would be amazing and I'd take, say, 14th place to get it. Same with the other two cups. Just a shame those league placings are worth so much money these days.

Anybody but a f**king footballer. Footballera hardly ever win it, and one obviously won't this year.

Have to say I'm gobsmacked. But great for AL, and great for the club.

Yes, you're right. I mean one of those kits is red. While the other one is red. Not even vaguely similar, as you say.

Dear oh dear. Perfect response. How on earth is looking like Stoke and Sunderland some terrible horrible thing all of a sudden, but looking like Liverpool, Notts Forest and Swindon is "daring to do something different"? What is this logic? As Our Claus says, why not just worry about looking like Southampton Football Club?

Don't you believe it! Lots of Saints fans living in nice areas don't neccessarily want the club at the bottom of their long garden.
