I agree with much of what you say about the manager's limitations. I do think you're under-estimating the team though. If we had a better shape, were better drilled on set pieces, and picked our best players, I reckon we could climb the table. My problem is that I don't believe the present management team have the ability to do this.

Nice label for anyone who doesn't think the same way as you. Does it make you feel superior?

I agree. Pedophilia has no political boundaries.

Sorry, I should have added a smiley.

I bet you didn't take your shots when you played war, never walked when lbw playing cricket with your mates, and cheated at marbles!

Sorry, just quoting Ferris Bueller. Nothing personal. I don't even know you, facking Sholing Toby.

But to be fair, on this occasion I reckon he's right.

What about the 50 quid?

Fair play to you. I'm getting a bit fed up with those that think wanting the manager to stay is some sort of badge of honour. 'ashamed of fans on here', pathetic.

To be honest, I think the stat on this thread is only being trotted out to defend Adkins.

Rooney, you're an asshole.

Watched Skyfall, thought it was superb. Godfather part 2 last night, what a film. Michael Corleone, a proper horrible c*nt. The Vito story from his early years, top class.

The first team is being run by an ex-keeper, and an ex-centre half. You'd think that between them they could organise the back 4.

That blog has some damning accusations on it. It's political dynamite. Tom Watson's question could have opened a massive can of worms. I would imagine the super-injunction lawyers think that Christmas has come a bit early this year.

I would rather we didn't play 4-2-3-1. Too many gaps behind the full-backs for the opposition to exploit. It doesn't make the most of Lallana's considerable attacking talents. Play 3 out and out solid midfielders in front of the back 4. Cork, Morgan and Davis, all ball-winners, all decent passers. If Cork isn't ready for 90 mins, let him share the game time with JWP. We're leaking 3 a game, the defence needs help.

If this investigation is allowed to proceed, unhindered by the establishment, it could be the biggest political bombshell in history.

But they are handy things to know.

Bearsy, have you got round to the bit where the vicar explains the potato stuck up his arse by saying he 'fell on it while putting curtains up' yet?

Huffton, have you heard about Jimmy Savile?

Allegedly, Marc Almond had a couple of pints of spunk pumped out of his stomach while Chris Peacock was having an electric toothbrush retrieved from his ringpiece. Allegedly. Not that this is anything to do with PIN numbers. Just trying to steer this thread in a different direction.

Whose to say a win will save the manager? Pardew was sacked after a 4-0 away win. Adkins is right to deflect these questions. It is very rare for any manager to have his job secured despite poor results. What was the journo expecting?

At least the defence get a bit more protection. Reckon the top 3 could work, Lallana is great at making decent little runs behind defenders. He can pull them all over the place, I don't like him shackled to a wing.

He'll have a job trying to sell the club and its vision at the moment.
