Exactly. You pick a formaiton to suit the players you've got, not pick a formaiton then try to fit the players into it. It's very basic stuff. As is being solid at the back and building your team on that base. It's no wonder Reed was sacked at Charlton and is regarded as their worst manager ever.

That one is worse.

I rest my case

The on in the Mexico 86 book was the most sought after. Worth 5 on sawpsies

I will have a bet wih you that no one will beat spurs this season playing 3-5-2 when Bale and Lennon start. £50 to charity. Okay?

So it seems like no other premier league manager agrees with you that 3-5-2 is the way to beat Spurs then.

So we don't play Lambert because if he was injured we wouldn't be able to play him. Brilliant logic.

Fair enough, I think we play against Spurs by reducing the space and delivery to their main threat. You think we play them by giving their main threat more space, especially space to run into, where he's crucified far better full backs than Clyne. I gurantee you one thing, Adkins won't strait 3-5-2 tomorrow and I doubt anyone else will this season when playing Spurs, I can't begin to imagine why that would be, it works in Italy don't it?

I did hear the hilarious "empty seats my lord" song. Always makes me LOL

Two terrible teams.

I wrote to Kerry Dixon when I was 8 years old. We had to write to famous person for a school project and Kerry Dixon was my favourite player at the time as he'd just broken into the England team. I got a letter back, a signed photo and an invitation to join the Kerry Dixon fan club. I still have th picture somewhere along with my signed picture of Mark Wright, the ex Saints player not the knob from TOWIE.

Were you on there when B3nners challenged him to a boxing match? That was hilarious.

Yu should worry about people on spaz boards that want to meet up for 'chats' they are usually as hard as Romsey Stu.

If we get anyone from Blackpool, I hope it's Thomas Ince.

Jamie wants him if Adkins gets sacked.

Ha, fully agree with this. I played with my mate the last two weeks who has been playing for about 6 months. Every shot I took he'd try to give advise which was very frustrating and actually made me worse. The lesson today basically told me to do pretty much the opposite of what he'd told me!

Well I got a cheap set off eBay, have played the last two weeks and had my first lesson this morning. Wow. What a difference. After slicing the ball all over the place last week and barely being able to hit it 100 yards when I did hit it properly I hit 100 balls on the driving range after the lesson and managed to drive almost 200 yards and get the ball within 10-20 yards of the 100 and 125 yard flags with a 7 iron probably 8 out of 10 times.The instructor was brilliant, broke it down to make it easy even videoed me on his iPad then went back throw it to show me where I was going wrong. I know the distances won't sound much to seasoned gofers but considering where I was last week the improvement from one lesson was incredible.

Yep, he'd be perfect. Maybe in January?? He went off on one at the time and accused us of tapping Phililips up.

Check your PMs Jamie. As I said, the tapping up allegation was nothing to do with us, the player wants the move and the chairman is p*ssing about. And remember it next time you make a snidey comment at me saying that I'd heard something.

2-3 Spurs. Or if we go with Rooneys 3-5-2 0-8 Spurs.

Oh look another transfer deal I called absolutely spot on at the time. I'm sure those I PMd at the time will confirm this is exactly what I said happened. Just remember this everytime people mock me for reporting stuff I hear.

So what?

I have now see it and :lol::lol:

Such a shame. And wasn't it you that brought up who you'd play with and been coached under. Want to share it and justify your instance on it with reasons and explanations other than giving bale more space to play in because he have some anyway? In sure you can quickly google 'reasons to play 3-5-2'

Which is why we double up on their wide men. We don't have players or equal ability to mark and track them. Anyway. If you were manager of Saints and I was manger of spurs and I'd saw you lined up 3-5-2 against me I'd resign if we failed to win comfortably.
