Nice interview in the Grauniad today with our Nige, still my favourite manager since WGS. I'm sure Saint Lard will chip in to tell me how useless he was... Tranmere’s Nigel Adkins: ‘I still feel like an 18-year-old on the training ground’ | Tranmere | The Guardian

Reminded me of Alf Ramsey to Rodney Marsh -'I'll probably pull you off at half-time' RM- 'At QPR we just get half an orange and a cup of tea'

Right, I'll go back to sleep now 🙃

Found this snippet in my news feed today, anything in it or just bolleaux? Allegedly we're doing a deal for a £15m transfer in the summer if promoted. Good deal if true? I say yes.. Southampton and Man City line up Taylor Harwood-Bellis deal (footballleagueworld.co.uk)

Another appalling example of horrific behaviour by the Post Office. I know there are hundreds of similar stories but surely criminal prosecutions have to result from cases like this? Post Office still pursued sisters after case thrown out - BBC News

Jumpers for wickets, isn't it? Marvellous.

What credible manager reacts to fans chanting in a press conference. Ian Holloway, when we chanted 'Premier League you're having a laugh' at his Blackpool side 🙂

Or a cucumber

And now a GD of 19... what a brilliant result, a proper team spirit and much praise for RM. The icing on the cherry on the cake, Orient turn over the Skates 3.0 at Nottarf Krap 🙂

Bang!! Oh my what a goal!

Supersub strikes again!

The BBC website says best unbeaten run since 1950 - not sure about that but who cares? Would be nice not to have to spend the last 10 minutes of every game watching through my fingers though! Well played lads and happy Xmas to all Saintswebbers 🙂

Up to 5th... we'll walk this league 😉

TBF, I think Delap changed his technique at Stoke. I seem to recall his throw-ins for us were, although long, also quite looping, giving time for defenders to counter, whereas at Stoke they were whipped in much flatter and faster. Perhaps that was a coaching issue?
