Not just now either. De Ridder Sharp Fox Hooliveld Gazzaniga S Davis Lee Rodriguez Mayuka I make that c£20m worth of player signed since L1 promotion but not good enough to get into our current L1 standard team.

It's a positive tweet though so it must be true,

But it was a postive tweet so it's true.

True, he's said plenty more stupid things since.

Looks like we are becoming the only deal on the table.

Not an attractive club. According to him we were the most attractive club in England outside the top 4 in the premier league. This whilst in L1.

Yep, remember all those posts too, also that man for man, our Championship side was better than the 2003 side and others claim it was our best ever side. Now of course it's, what can we expect half of our side were L1 players only 18 months ago.

Will you go nuts in your dark and dingy bedsit Barry? Will the neighbours complain at the noise? Will you punch the air with delight and almost spill the 2 litre bottle of ASDA own brand cola over your keyboard?

Wasn't it also one of, if not the most expensively asssembled squads in L1 history? 4 players who cost £1m each for starters. Last season was excellent and hats of to Nige for that. I love it though how people are making out the like of Ramirez, Clyne and Yoshida are playing alongside half a team who should be playing for Stevenage. They might have been playing in L1 but they aren't L1 players.

Ifl he does what will you do with the information Barry?

Again, I'll ask you the question regarding our supposed half league one team. Do you believe Schniderlin, Lambert, Lallana, Fonte and Puncheon are premier league level players?

Anyone could score goals in the Dutch league. No better than L1 standard. IMO.

The Happy Mondays were pretty awful a few weeks back to be fair, but it was what we expected, every one had a laugh, good venue, good crowd. That was part of the charm I guess.

Paul Lambert is an idiot revealing who is out inured and who is fit, now we know who to prepare for. We should win this easily!

If they'd stuck with him he could have done for them what Alex Ferguson did at Man United, he didn't have the best of starts!

Saw the Doves at the Guildhall a few years back and they were spot on.

He's a brilliant musician, he's also a moody f*cker. I've seen him be brilliant and awful, he's never just okay.

Bjork at the BIC 1995ish. I didn't want to go, my bird at the time did. I was proven right. Boring, sh*t and a crowd full of poncy art student types.

Damage at Power in the Park c1996 will take some beating. IMO.

I hope so, the winner ideally. People will till find a way to slag him off though.

But what would an Adkins Job Under threat thread be without someone mentioning Alex Ferguson and Manchester United? It's not like for every one of him there are dozens of Steve Keans. Ironic that everyone is writing off Christian gross as a manager because he had a crap nine months at a spurs. maybe if they'd stuck with him like Man U did Then he'd have had the same effect there? But of course that doesn't suit the arguement.

Spot on. He's improving every game and is starting to look a good player. Of course, he's guaranteed to improve what with him being young and hungry and all that.

So do you or don't you think Fonte, Lambert, Lallana, Schinderlin, Puncheon are premier league standard players or not? And who said anything about it being top half?

Please explain what Lee has done to convince you he is a better option than Rodriguez.

I do love those who try and spin how half of our team are league one players. Conviniently forgetting that whilst in L1 and the Championship quite a different picture was painted. Whilst in league one and the championship I recall some posters claiming Schiniderlin was putting in 'world class performances'. That Davis and Lambert should be in the England squad. That Lallana was the best player we'd and since Le Tisser. I recollect Fonte dropping down from the Championship, Pardew describing him and Lambert as players who can play in the premier league! This was lauded at the time. Moving onto the championship, Hooliveld was a great defender we were told. He must be, he's played in the champions league! And who could forget the golden claims that League one saints would beat England and that man for man our championship side was better than our cup final side in 03, possibly our best ever team! Now all this seems to have changed. Now the reason our £30m worth of talent is in a relegation battle is because the rest of the team were L1 players only 18 months ago. The fact that they are should be England internationals, champions league players, world class performers and amongst the best players and teams we've ever had is forgotten. Now what can we expect from players that lost at Wallsall less than 2 years ago? Keep going, keep spinning, it's very entertaining.
