hear what you're saying about all the rumours but what do you think it will achieve? Is Cortese going to change his ways? Pretty unlikely. Will the Liebherrs sack him and appoint someone else? Again I'd say that's unlikely. What else will these stories achieve? I'm not saying we should bury our heads in the sand, I just don't know what the end game is.

Maybe Lallana could back track?

So you're saying he's not good enough for international football? Good job we're only playing Swansea Saturday. Thanks for putting my mind at rest.

If the midfield don't help the defence more, whoever plays at full back will get exposed to 2-on-1 situations every 5 mins

Cool, we haven't had an Adkins thread for a while!!

Err... he could, yes.

I agree with your suggested approach, I just don't think he should be starting Premier League games yet.

Other youngsters looked okay in the weakened teams where as people have pointed out Shaw struggled. Do you think he should start?

Sorry

I think the point people are making is that based on his cup performances he isn't good enough yet, nothing to do with his age.

Ah, Cortese is giving Le Tissier Les Reed's starting XI. It's obvious now.

I'm intrigued where you got your info from. You don't strike me as the sort of person Nige would share team secrets with... Oh, and I love Fox.

Oi, what you saying??

Ok then, let's have a list of sausage fingered clutz...

Good idea. Let's get Chappers in for Ramirez, Hammond back to replace Morgan, re-sign Harding and get Antonio in to replace Lallana.

Sorry Trousers, I hadn't noticed!! Great minds and all that!!

Why don't we try the christmas tree formation? --------------- Gazza Clyne-----Fonte-----Yoshida-----Fox -----Cork-----Morgan------Davis --------Lallana------Ramirez -------------Lambert

He tried it a few times last season to see if anyone would notice.

....

It's a big risky on Nige/NC/Reed bringing him on after 78 mins and hoping for 3 mins injury time isn't?

So now we know about Guly's 15 mins and the one academy player per match rule (unless they've been naughty), what other contract clauses are there? I know Dean Hammond got fined every time he passed the ball forwards, but what esle?

Yeah, I get he gets a minimum of 15 mins. What happens when he's come on after 75 mins? Does injury time count?

Wish I'd seen Bowie, Joy Division or the Smiths
