Didn't realise we had so many members of the Temperance Society following us.

Fonte will mark him out of the game. Interesting. (But as KelvinsRightGlove says - he'll probably be on loan to them).

Can't see him & Austin hitting it off, as both would want to be top dog. Another potential training ground bust up for'arry to cope with.

In a Range Rover after dark, and their offices are closed.....without his current club knowing anything about it. Couldn't happen again could it ?

Depends where he ends up, I thought Norwich would have been a good fit for him, but they've opted for an unheard of Scots bloke. Wigan ? Could be good there, or at Forest, Sheff Weds I wouldn't bet against it, but if he ends up at the Doncasters of this world then no, like many 'promising' managers he'll fall back into the mid-stream, and wonder what might have been.

I can only recall that yellow shirt being worn once, away to Arsenal (perhaps like yesaterdays). Strange as at the same time we had that awful blue ('radical blue flame effct' I think it was called) effort, so I'm sure the yellow would have outsold it.

Just realised this was two years ago today. His sacking still rankles with me. But from a Saints angle pleased the way things have turned out with Ronald Koeman (and without NC at the helm). Wish NA good luck in finding a decent club again, and hope he makes it back to the Premiership in the future.

Lambert epitomises our rise and was the talisman for it really, so he is the outstanding choice. Agree that Jose Fonte deserves recognition for his part in our rise and his continuing role. But Nigel Adkins deserves the second spot behind Lambert for his part in our resurgence.

How long is the current deal for though ? Presumably more than a single season, in which case Veho/Muvi it is next season and until expiry of the deal.

I think he's scored a couple for England though, so he is capable.

Unbelievably naive, if not stupid, oversight not to get a better back up gk if we don't do it. Imagine having to rely on KD or PG for a 5/6 game run , with a cup final place , and CL contention at stake.

c'mon you puce lemons... certainly has a ring to it.

I doubt RK will have seen enough of Gallagher to make a judgement to be honest. For me the stand out requirements are a GK , and a striker who can score goals. Another defender would be useful, but I'd rather this was a target we want for next season rather than a temporary infill.

Are the skates still running a nearly 2000 page thread ridiculing how far we have fallen ? Bet they're laughing their heads off now.... WTFILN?

Inclined to agree, but an alternative thought might be to leave him out to protect him from another needless booking. Better still sign up a deputy, either permanently or on loan.

Perhaps we can factoir that into negotiations with Atletico..

No - lets get third AND win the cup.

Beating the plastic mancs at their place, what is better than that (sorry Skates but we really do operate in separate hemispheres in the league status now)? Well, leapfrogging them to third adds to it, RK getting one over Louis Van Moyes Being well above Lala and Lovren in the league also And also ahead of Poch & the yids... all of which makes it even sweeter

Phrase of the day. Although bound to upset someone somewhere.

Derby

I don't see why this wouldn't be permitted if he's on a season long loan. Presumably the only stipulation is that he can't play against them if we draw them in the cup.
