Hopefully it does work then NA has it his way from here on in.

Yep, I think Eddie would jump at the chance.

Probably Buz lightyear.

To close Appy's account at fat pipes, his sterling record (including cup games) is: Played 51 won 13 drawn 11 lost 27 an average of 0.98 points per game and a win ratio of 25%. He will be sadly missed by the PTS!

Chinny is also not responsible for the upkeep... Oh!

I don't see anything but there again I don't know the role he is responsible for now, how hands on it is or if its only an admin and management type role and what has happen to the role over the two years. Also I'm not the one that stated he clearly is not the man to lead it. I thought you may have some insight into what he does and the way he does it.

So you don't know what attributes it takes to be Manager of the FDSC, nothing more than beyond the concept statement? You focused on the shoe salesman role rather than question/think what and how Sacchi became a coach and one of the great managers in Italy, to be given a chance and be credible. Reed was rubbish on the football side but what if this role is administrative and more suitable or are you saying he's still doing the coaching, hence he's no good? Again he may not be up to it but there is little evidence of what he is doing and whether he's good or bad at it. Now if you have anything that could enlighten me (via PM if its sensitive), then that would be different.

Don't jump on Dune's ticket tax grumble, he can't defend himself unless Cheese on Toast is about.

You missed the bus... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?41056-if-you-are-feeling-a-bit-down-today

With the role Les Reed is currently in, how does it compare to the role of manager or coach when he was utterly dross? Also, do you know why was he sacked by the FA? it just seems to me that what you have pointed out has little or no relevance to what he is doing now and I'm not saying he's doing a good job. If you have any info on the above then it would greatly enhance your view that Les Reed should go. I wouldn't care if someone hasn't got football experience, as long as they are suitable for the role, after all Sacchi was only a shoe salesman.

I lol at that!

Crikey, Tainted Love by Soft Cell was one of mine. Special AKA and What-I-Like-Most-About-You-Is-Your-Girlfriend and Kraftwerk and the Model. What a trio!!!

Thought this was amusing!

Reminds me of the Temple of Courage slide in Sun City, with its 17m vertical drop!

There is the look at the old statue thread which is a five star rated thread!

Thats so typical of this forum to dismiss this type of rumour out of hand. Be it today, tomorrow or another day, Adkins will be gone. FACT.

Thanks Alps, it seems like most of his commissions are coronets and crowns!

Has the sculpturer ever worked again after producing that? it really is incredibly poor.

Ten down, only 28 more to go!

Yes.

I only ever bought three singles, it was albums all the way for me!

A couple of things to think about: 1 what were the state of the other teams? 2 I bet they were well drilled in the 4-4-2 and long ball before the start of the new season. i think on the whole there are better teams in the prem now and Saints just haven't got it together with the new formation and system which is bound to hinder getting the points so its a huge gamble by someone.

I'd go along with that but finding it hard to believe it will happen... Like why it didn't in the summer!

Who's this we? There are are 38 games in the the prem last time I looked, some harder than others but all potentially up for a win as Norwich and Swansea showed last season. You made an error in saying Saints have played teams all over the league when clearly we've played many more from the top than the bottom (8 to 2). If Saints win tomorrow then it's encouraging but still only worthy of 5 out of 10. Mainly due to the schoolboy errors, but recruitment hasn't helped when the defence should have been strengthen more than it has and the lack of flexibility in setting team tactics to the opposition.
