Not much to be honest. Big powerful player but an awful first touch and technically miles behind Lambert. Decent and effective for us but no where near as good as he thought he was.

Being honest it wasn't a cabby. I was trying to big my part up and pretend I go out more than I do.

My Chelsea mate read that article and when we were out for lunch with a client remembered it and told me about it over a glass of white Rioja.to be fair he's a bullsh*tter and most definitely didn't tell me the Clyne story was a load of ******** and they aren't interested in him.

A taxi driver told me that he had a player in his cab after the Libherr trophy preseason and he reckons after the first game Adkins told several key players the chairman didn't rate him and he was going to be sacked soon, this was obviously bullsh*t as Adkins gave an interview a few weeks later saying he and the chairman had a great relationship and was working incredibly hard behind the scenes to make transfers happen and being very supportive.

PROOF? where is your PROOF?

And you'd have said it was wishful thinking to think we'd beat Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea back in late Jan wouldn't you. Th facts are we've won games we didn't expect to and lost ones you'd expect us to win. Adkins record against teams around us is much better than MPs and these are the games that matter in a relegation scrap. For the record though I do think we look a better team under MP and think he could be a great manager for us. But then I wasn't one of the ones saying Akdins was totally in control, under no pressure for his job and the best manager we've ever had was I.

You're assuming MP was the only man to be offered the job. He wasn't.

Yoshida is decent but the rest of them are not good enough. Forren? Who knows....

It was way before that actually. I'm sure Shurlock will appear in a minute to tell me I'm wrong though.

If you can cherry pick games so can I.

In theory yes, but games aren't played on paper. Adkins record against teams around us is far, far better than MPs, and the reality is these games are more important. If we'd beaten Wigan, Newcastle and QPR and lost the 3 we won we'd have the same points but be in a much better position in terms of safety. Yes or no?

Beating Reading, winning at Villa, coming from 0-2 down at Chelsea. Awful, awful stuff.

If we'd have beaten QPR they'd be as a good as down and we'd be 7 points clear of the relegation zone, so arguably yes, it was a six pointer as they are only a two game swing from being out of the drop zone. Wigan away was a another six pointer. 1 point out of 9 against our fellow strugglers is hardly amazing stuff.

I've asked several times in the last few months and not received a reply, so ill ask again. At what point in the last two months did Adkins stop being the new Alex Ferguson and the best manager we've ever had, the guy we should stick with even if we go down and become this tedious, clueless, grinning bumpkin who was leading us to disaster?

Attention seeking trolling.

How many bottom half teams has MP beaten? Games which are arguably more important as the beating the teams around you are six pointers.

True. There was also no issue between the chairman and Adkins regarding transfers Adkins chose them all and agreed to them all. Boruc was lying when he said that wasn't the case in an interview given two weeks ago.

MP had a home game against the bottom team, can't get anymore winnable than that. But we'll forget that one shall we as it doesn't suit us.

Sneer all you like, I've been proven right on a number of occasions. I presume you're referring to the member of the Chelsea board I know who tipped me off a couple of times regarding goings on at the club, which of course were dismissed out of hand as people didn't like what they heard.

We don't, I've read the description of yours and its a different person.

Done no exercise in about 6 weeks what with moving house and so on so dusted off the KB tonight, managed to do the full circuit in 15.25. Was killing at the end though, last few burpees and clean and press was hell.

No, it's clearly not just me that thinks there are some utter Prats on this forum.

don't let Nick G see this, he thinks our current squad with no additions can finish 6th.

This.

Great thread.
