Saint Charlie

Doesn't really matter. Either way - the person was suprised how angry NA was (he had every right to be angry).

Well so was NA.

Its right. Paid employee yes, but not a player or coach.

Just thought I would share this snippet that I was told by a very good source (not coaching staff or player) who was in the dressing room after the Swansea game. Apparantly Adkins was very angry at the players and was shouting at them for not having won the game. In the press afterwards he was calm and saying we had played well etc (although didnt hide the disappointment of not winning). Not a groundbreaking story but as I think some on here have wondered in the past whether NA speaks to the players like he does to the media the answer is definitely no: he can make a point when he wants to and it seemed to work, at least temporarily.

Newcastle playing tonight, Tiote suspended so he won't play but will be interesting to see how strong a team they field.

Pretty sure I saw Stephen Crump (father) at QPR last Sat in the School End Upper. No sign of Kirk (Son) though. Anyone know if they go to SMS much anymore?

Aside from the currently ludicrous England suggestion that is a very interesting article from someone who obviously knows him fairly well. Clear has lots of talent, and the attitude this season has been miles better. As others have said it will be interesting to see whether he would be offered a new contract or not. Part of me thinks we are just using him because he is here, but would happily sign Phillips or someone else and then ditch Puncheon again.

Another thread ruined by forum trolls.

No but feel free to post a Lambert one.

Yes - we would be mch better with a made up Cortese one. FFS.

Best signing since the takeover, will he go down as a Saints legend regardless of what happens from here? Yes for me. Favourite Lambert goal: Second vs Palace at Selhurst last season, class. Knew we were up after that.

Player: Ryan Smith: Poster: Dig Dig:

I would, this one of the poorest WUM threads I have ever seen on here.

Don't think this is a wind up, its too obvious for that.

Another PR disaster after the Programme issue. A guy I know who works at the shop tweeted something funny the other day about having "seen it all now" but I didn't think much of it. Having him on the programme as a squad no would be bearable - just like some teams have the fans as no 12, but selling chairman shirts is just a 'no'.

Of course, we will see in the end. We have spent a lot of money, but the league is tough. Do you look at many squads and think ours is far superior? For me only really Readings is noticeable poor. Last year Blackburn and Bolton were poor, before that Blackpool, Hull etc. We have spend a good amount, so have Sunderland on Flecther and Johnson and they are still poor. Had we spent 70m then we would probably have a squad on paper as good as a team like Newcastle, who are still struggling. The Prem is tough and this year more than normal.

FACT - Chelsea's squad is miles, miles, miles better than ours. FACT - If NA was Chelsea manager he would win a lot more games than we are at the moment. You can't directly compare the two because of our situations, but there is no way that just because he has won the CL he would automatically be better than Adkins.

Thedelldays is a simpleton. Bless.

But asking 'are Spurs actually better than us?'

Gravedigger is a bit ott. I have bumped a few interesting threads to save us from seriously debating how much better we are than Spurs.

We have a good level of intelligence about us.

Yeah that move was superb!

Lamberts speech is quite slurry but not sure he is thick. Chaplow seems fairly intelligent on twitter compared to some. Jonno Quick does the worst Saints Player interviews but it might be shyness rather than anything else.

Historically I remember an interview with Ryan Smith and he pretty much couldn't even say his name.

Puncheon seems dumb. JWP pretty intelligent from what he says.
