True, but then one january and half a summer window isn't really compelling evidence. On a tangent, the whole "Adkins signings record at Scunny isn't that great" argument doesn't hold much sway either as he did the best he could with very limited resources. His two signings so far this summer look very, very promising.

The days of managers going off and finding a player from scratch are long gone, but just because the scouts suggested him to Adkins doesn't mean he isn't a Nigel signing.

Well that wouldn't work because once it's torn out it becomes void anyway. A steward on the turnstile wouldn't let you in if you had the ticket stub and not the booklet.

Conspiracy theories again?

Or maybe they're just slow? They've got the article about Les Reed up there.

2 hours into wednesday and still no kit reveal or signings.

They were being delivered at the stadium when I went down to pick up my season tickets. Thought about quickly opening a package to see what they looked like, but didn't get the chance.

I'd take £500k in all honesty.

Apparently.

Since when did Lambert and Lallana not become goal threats?

The quoting system doesn't work like that - it's a code that makes the persons name come up about a quoted post. For example, I could quote your post, edit the code around and... You could have Baj on your ignore list, but as far as the ignore function is concerned this post is nothing to do with him. This is down to VBulletins software and unfortunately I don't think there's a whole lot the admin could do about it. The only thing I could possibly think of is if there was an ignore function that blocked any post containing that persons username, but then if you blocked someone with Saint in their username you'd have a lot of blocked posts on a forum discussing the Saints.

I like the fact that him not wanting to sign for us doesn't even occur to you.

Just watched the highlights - lovely little slow mo of a run from Lallana, and although it's hard to judge from such short clips the 'keeping from Forecast was absolutely horrendous.

About 2 minutes for me.

As has been pointed out already, it's the sheer volume of people posting and refreshing simultaneously that overloads the server - so considering the other forums are only accessed by one or two people during matches, if at all, then closing them won't help a bit.

Pretty sure the advertising on this site is controlled through Vbulletin itself, not Baj/Steve.

Yeah, i'm getting the video from last year as well. How bizarre. Commentary is exactly the same and all.

All academies produce more incapable players than capable ones.

Pulis signed for us when he was 23, you can't exactly call him one of our youngsters.

Show off

Sub forum sounds like a good idea, will bring it up with Steve. Seeing as this is pretty much unanimous so far i'll shut the rumours thread - but can we all agree that any rumour threads started from football-rumours can get deleted?

Maybe it's neither. Maybe he needed to move away for family reasons, or medical reason, or maybe he simply didn't like it here.

I think he's very underrated by our fans. One of our most skilful players IMO.

I think we'd tear them a new one.

I don't seem to remember anyone (except TDD and Alpine) raising complaints about Burley when he was actually here, so it makes me chuckle when they talk about how "everyone knew" what he was like at the time.
