Agree with all of that. It appears that none of us or the ombudsman know the story.

Adkins has today described Lallana as best player in the league - I agree. He seems to always play Lambert. Leaves Forte, N'Guessan, Ox-C, Guly, Barnard, Connolly to fight for 2nd striker and right wing.

but wasn't their ruling (only scan read it) based on saints refusing to give info about the reasons? Therefore the group would have to find in NI's favour -as only info available. I wonder if the club weren't that interested? Does seem churlish to refuse a customer - but without full story hard to judge.

wonder if Doble will get on the pitch?

think winger first - out and out speed merchant (only from what I have read)

.

when is boxing day?

we will never know but not convinced Pardew would have matched this last 21 games.

Imagine... Championship - relegated Portsmouth League 1 - promoted Brighton, Saints and Bournemouth

good of the other team's manager to make our excuses!

where have I got it wrong? Reckon we have done better on goal difference I think but not checked.

Gemmel - the bit you are questioning about being non-binding is quoted from their site, is it wrong or have I misunderstood?

Nick - Adkins has said that Ngeussan came off as not played for ages - think was worried would tie up

"The IFO operates a system of non-binding arbitration." - so Nicola can ignore this.

who are the ifo?

Its encouraging, as it feels that Brighton and Bournemouth are doing very well and not dropping many points - then you look at this and see no team has done better since Adkins came in. He also started slowly with only one win in first 4.

Lambert after poor, by his standards, start to the season looks on target to get 20+ league goals.

After tonights games; Brighton played 21 points 40 Saints played 21 points 40 Bournemouth played 22 points 38 Huddersfield played 21 points 35 Oldham played 21 points 34 Mk played 22 points 31 Charlton played 19 points 31 Colchester played 20 points 28 Peterborough played 20 points 30

Hudds winning we are 5th

I don't know enough about the other sides to say whether they have had any factors that would mean their form since 12 Sept (when Adkins was appointed here) is not a fair reflection as to where the team is now. Clearly there are reasons why what happened before that date for us is irrelevant for our ability to gain points in the second half of the season. If all clubs manage to maintain the points return they have had over the last 5 months this is how the final league table will look- Brighton 90 Saints 80 Bournemouth 78 Huddersfield 75 Charlton 72 Oldham 71 Peterborough 69 Colchester 69 MK 67 It won't though! Think it will be between those 4 for 2 places.

Did we? Ok my mistake thought we were still 3rd before cup game.

no owner is under a duty to invest their money - how can skates complain? if they didn't have him they may not exist, he has never promised money, said from day 1 he isn't interested in the club - why are they surprised?

last two results were a poor return but our position dropped due to not playing games
