No we signed him from somewhere as a young player, he'd played a couple of times for their first team.

It's a nice aim but the reality is it would be very unlikely that ever happens.

Not now Phil Brown has come out and said he wants the job!

You must do alright for birds Jamie. You wear a uniform for work and you can cook, I thought women would love that.

As I said I'm not saying it as FACT but I was told a similar version of events From two different people who dont know each other, one has connections at SFC the other doesn't. I'm not 100% sure of all the details but in essence Adkins did all the leg work on the deal with the permission of the committee and had it agreed with Player and club, passed it to Cortese who dithered and then refused to agree it for whatever reason. Just what I was told.

I agree. It's not just limited to directors either, there have been a few fans have got carried away in the past as well.

There are strong rumours that ive heard from a couple of different sources that Adkins had a deal agreed for Robert Huth in the summer and Cortese refused to rubber stamp it. I'm not claiming this to be FACT just passing on what ive been told and no, I'm no revealing my sources and I don't give a sh*t if you beleive it or not.

Can you explain what the job involves please.

Quite. In many ways The perfect candidate, a club legend so will get the some fans applauding it as a great move, yet far enough out of the way not to have any influence whatsoever or even have to bother attending games.

This. Maybe it's time for Jonno Quicks pace to be utilised in behind Stokes back 4? Get him into the chanels and Chaplow using his energy to get into the box for the crosses.

He'll be easily dealt with by Huth on saturday. I know you cant bare to hear this said about your boy but that is how it is.

Of course you can.

Great! Two things we dont have!! Hope your lads enjoy their day though mate!

Yep, i agree.

Stoke put the ball into the area a lot, Davis rarely leaves his line. We could ship a shedload on saturday as we dont have a keeper who can command the area.

Really? One point against a team woefully out of form. There have been plenty of other times recently when the game has been going against us and no one on the pitch has taken responsibility. In fact you could say 3 of our last 4 games before Fulham were like that.

I was listening to the Villa v Spurs games yesterday and the commentators mentioned several times that whilst Villa have a talented squad of players they have no leader on the pitch or any experienece players their young squad can look to when things are going against them and lift them. You can draw similar parrallels with us, how many times this season when we've been struggling and things haven't been going our way have we had anyone on the pitch lift the side. Our biggest problem is whilst we have some talented players they are learning, our manager is also learning and they don't have anyone to learn from and haveto do it all whilst in a relegation battle, so unfortunately it's going to be by learning by their mistakes and as they go along. I wonder if those people telling us we didn't need premier league experience during the summer have now changed their minds? And no, I dont mean Kieran Dyer FFS

It's all part of the anti Saints agenda the BBC has.

Prehaps it was a very good penalty but also one of the best attempts by a goalkeeper to save one?

Even Le Fondre has scored a few this season playing in a terrible team and he isn't as good as Billy. FFS

It does seem strange to lose Lallana and then shift our other most creative player into a position where he is less effective so having two positional changes rather than just one. Why not keep Ramirez where is he is best and simply get Guly, Rodriguez or Mayuka to put a shift in on the left, even if they are not overly effective as long as they are steady and at least we've got our best available players playing in their best positions.

Should be a priority IMO.

I'm not sure why you're surprised. It was only 8 months ago this forum told us Kelvin Davis should be the England goalkeeper.
