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.

Apparently. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?30153-Summer-2011-Rumours-Paper-Talk-Thread/page64

It's amazing just how much this sport influences so many aspects of art/life.

1.35 for the Blayney save.

And if they're not then surely any goals scored from 12 yards or less in open play shouldn't be counted either.

Ward-prowse, given we only have 3 good CMs right now.

Good point - when does that happen? End of july, isn't it?

Barnard signed for Southend when they were in the CCC, didn't he?

Covered in the paper talk thread at the top of the page.

Works for me. Good news after the bid from West Ham last january - we obviously want to keep him, I didn't think Adkins was that interested.

A f*cked up sleeping pattern.

Is this forum really being criticised for not being racist enough? If that's the kind of complaint you're making, then feel free to stick to the UI.

I didn't mean to offend the Ultras on here.

I don't think there's a place on earth, real or virtual, where I care less what people think of me.

Because it's easily covered in any of the "HCDAJFU", "Paper talk", "Sharp Rumour heats up" or "Jack Cork offer accepted" threads.

All i've seen Nick say is that Adkins was "faultless" in his performance. Which i'd agree with. And whilst he didn't (couldn't?) do an amazing job, I think it's still pretty amazing that he was statistically the best manager in the country.

Really...?

I think you're underestimating him. Look at Grant Holt and Steve Howard - they've both been very successful at Championship level without pace, and i'd argue that Lambert is better than both of them.

Good to see you back. Contributions like these have been missed
