Yep, it's that Inside Futbol article that refers to the Punta Pelota TV programme the day before (9th Jan). Seems strange that its taken the UK media over a week to latch onto it

Just done a trawl back through Twitter to see where the source of this rumour came from. Appears to be Spanish TV show "Punta Pelota" on 9th January - associated web article here: http://www.intereconomia.com/noticias-/punto-pelota/pochettino-se-reunio-southampton-20130109

@NabilHassan79: Daily Mirror are reporting Espanyol boss Mauricio Pochettino is being lined up to replace Nigel Adkins "if things turn wobbly". #saintsfc

In a perverse way, I actually think Nigel thrives on this kind of rumour...the fans get behind him....the players get behind him....and we string together a decent set of results....

Big picture vs Small picture

I see what you did there...

I said that's what would happen 5 hours ago (FFS)

More Bernard Matthews than Manning. (Ha ha Trousers you scamp - you'll go far - with any luck)

Hang on a cotton pickin' minute....Did that mad fella Adkins send you here to post misleading info in order to put Moyles off the scent?

Except when they play Pompey at home of course...

My recollection: Barclays forced us into administration by reducing our overdraft at short notice and then bounced a mere £4 grand cheque which tipped us over the edge. Yes, we were struggling to keep our heads above water but, as far as my understanding of the situation goes, our debts were 'under control' before Bsrclays moved the goalposts.

Booo. Hisss....

@officialsaints: We can confirm that defender Dan Seaborne has joined npower League 1 side @afcbournemouth on loan until the end of the season. #saintsfc

@TonyHusbandBBC: I think the big freeze is about to hit- pitch inspection at S****horpe 9.30 tomorrow ahead of #pompey trip.

I'm guessing they want to kill two birds with one stone in terms of the press conference. They'll have the national media down there tomorrow for the Everton pre-match conference so may as well parade him then rather than drag everyone to the stadium two days in a row. That said, doesn't stop them pre-announcing his physical unveiling a day in advance I suppose...

Are you trying to tell us you used to buy your pants from La Senza...?

@iFootballPlanet: The agent representing Davide Santon, Mattia Destro and Davide Astori has just left a meeting with Milan.
