Dr Who?

We are talking football today not 30-40 years ago.

Man u sir Alex not really a gamble at the time as football had changed so much Man City - went for big names as soon as they knew they were big in money terms and now on the pitch. Arsenal - Arsene Wenger well not a gamble all those years ago and a good choice after what they just had! Chelsea - always gone for big names since they have been big, but Di Matteo could be seen as a gamble, but I do not think he will get it. Liverpool - always had big names at the club to go with 'tradition' Newcastle is really the one that stands out. A league 1 manager being taken on and doing excellent after we all know being at Southampton. Everton moyles, but again this was a while back now. You will find a trend at these clubs that they bring in the big names, or employ within, in the case of Roy Evans, shearer, Zola, with the latter being big names at their clubs. but Liverpool may look at how well pardew has done, but I doubt it. I think all the top clubs could be getting it wrong with big names, but the need for instint success more by the fickle fans than anyone, this will be the route they take. If they do gamble it will be the Martintez, Lamberts, Rogers, and even Brian McDermott that would get a look in first above our man.

Now I have read it all, it is defiantly more entertaining than the tv box!

All this to one side Liverppol fans will only settle for a big name. Adkins will never land the Liverpool job. He will be lucky to get any better than he has at the moment. IF he does well next season, and lands mid table with us, 'big clubs' will not come in for him as they aim for the 'big' names. Adkins falls into the same bracket bracket as Brendan Rogers, And Paul lambert. Liverpool will not come in for these either. Adkins is not even a proven premier league manager. So all this is a little premature, and let's throw it out there hypothetically, and say Liverpool took him on, the fans would be on his back right from the start, and it would be a massive gamble that the board just would not take.

Oh yes, and I have already visited a few Costa coffee's in the area to see if he is there. The rumour is he is going on holiday, but really the only flight he will be on is to Southampton!

I do just want to clear this one up. IF Liverpool offered Adkins the job, he would be gone like a shot! They will not even interview him, so not that likely..... ...... We also will NOT sign Owen!

Jesus is this thread still going?!

Ha ha ha not even going to read all of this. Not a chance of Liverpool taking him. Are you all completely nuts, and PT, put your 20 back in your wallet!

With the craziest open credits ever!

Yep our tree is naked of All the blossom, but will see what happens late summer.... Not looking good, but normally have so many we give them to the neighbours. Like to make a good pie!

Well spotted, this happens quite a bit on the OS.

What is this ticket you talk of? I have 3 children 10, 3 and 4'months. If I get a season ticket can I get a free one with mine for the 3 and 10 year old under the last season rules?

This is true, as I think they used to go on general sale or at least to members (RIP). I suppose a lot of season ticket holders, just go to ALL the home games, and not the away. I don't know! But if I want to go to Man U at home as one of my 5 a season, then I am screwed without a season ticket.

I am sure my friends will buy the ticket of me, or a family member, or even people on here? Not sure on a wet, cold Monday evening in November and on Sky if I will be able to shift it though. As long as I get most back. I have 3 children, and 2 I want to take to away games, but this may not be possible with one season ticket. Think I am going to get it in the chapel though.

Should not have a problem getting to Wigan, but have never been to the new Arsenal ground as these are the only 2 I have not done.. Oh and Swansea! Would love to take my children to OT, Anfield and the Bridge, and of course the new champions! I think I might get one, as I want to go to the FA Cup final as well.

The 7 years we have been away from the prem, I think you will be surprised. I can remember being at Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U and Man City and them being sold out on a few occasions. Now we have the new generation of fans and the 7 year itch.

If it is a swipecard they will never know... Unless they read this

This is what I would have thought, but being out of the premier league for 7 years we have a number of fans who will want to go to Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Just found out it is going to be a swipe credit card like season ticket, so of course would only give it away to friends and family to use to cover the costs.

Because I did not need one to go to games. Pretty much turn up and get in. I do not live in Southampton, so do not do that many home games, but away. Will need a season ticket to follow Saints away next season.

Right I want to get a season ticket for the 2012/13 season, but this is mainly so I can get away tickets. I go to mostly away games as I live up by Cambridge and I prefer away games. Of course if I buy a season ticket I will go to some home games, but only about 5. Now can I give my ticket for the day to a family member or a friend and this way get money back for shifting a match ticket? Also what is the normal amount of away tickets you can get for an away game, is it 1 per season ticket? I am trying to think back to 2005. Tricky one but I know he club make it as hard as possible to share season tickets!

What I want to know about season tickets is do you have to take the whole bloody book to every game or can you just take the ticket for that match?

Been there and we won 4-1

Just carrying out what they are told. If they do not it could be the difference between refereeing in the premier league and the championship next season. He would have been marked down if he did not book him. Agreed it is stupid, but most of the FA are!

I LOVE football so much, and right down to the final minute of this season has been fantastic. The premier league has not had the same quality this season, but it has been great at the top and the bottom.
