He didn't say he liked it, just that he hadn't seen a good one. But the adams family one above is pretty awesome.

We've always been a more "technical" academy. Produced plenty of decent to good wingers/forwards - but how many good centrebacks, keepers or hard tackling midfielders?

As I said before, the only thing Adkins did last night that I disagree with was leaving Harding in and putting Richardson on the bench. Just because Harding "did a job" against two poor teams out of position doesn't mean you should leave out one of our most underrated players. I firmly believe we would not have conceded that first goal had Richardson played, and we'd obviously have had much more threat going forward.

So he hasn't got 7 assists either then?

Just re-read this, and it sounds to me like you're suggesting Adkins simply had to pick the team and let them get on with it. Pardew signed most of the team, yes, but it wasn't his "wave of optimism and belief". That was down 100% to Nigel Adkins.

Take it like a fan from Soccer AM I assume, so "Fenners" and Charlotte Jackson.

I've defended De Ridder a lot, but he did a lot of running around without actually producing anything tonight. He should have settled into the way we play by now and he still seems off the pace. He can still turn it around though - he has clear ability when running with the ball.

Fox has not been sh*t. Anyway, what about Cork, Hooiveld, Chaplow?

No need for long winded explanations. We're second in the league. That fact alone means promotion is not only within our grasp - it's in our own hands.

Apart from not putting richardson back in, there wasn't anything he did today that I disagreed with.

Actually a very good player now.

He was trying to stretch it out at first. Most likely just taken off as a precaution.

Nobody signed on the pitch. Skacel and Waigo both came out to meet the crowd after signing, that was it. Can't remember us doing it any other time.

Eli Manning is simply genius.

I too cannot see how they will possibly get away with it this time. Liquidation is surely the only option now, unless some mentalist with billions comes in. This thread will become an epic to rival Homers Iliad in years to come...

Regardless of what happened, he's still acting like a total helmet.

You've got one infraction for reposting something that had already been deleted, how is that "easy to come by"?

How is that in any way similar?

...and yet you've already jumped on Puncheons.

It always looks like it's made of fur to me.

This has been dispelled many a time. He was wearing black trousers and black shirt...much more formal than the hundreds of fans in shirts, shorts and sandals.

Yes. "See him lads? He could be playing for the first team right now, leading the charge to the Premiership".

I'd actually prefer we stick him in the reserves for the next 18 months. If he refuses to train or play, dock his wages. Shame that someone with a fair bit of talent has to be so unprofessional.

It's probably the only Saints shirt I'll ever wear again. No sponsor and something different.

Well, that's that then. No point in debating the hypothetical situation "would you take Puncheon back".
