  1. A Bristol Rovers supporter told me about Rickie Lambert a couple of years before we signed him, and how he was not "just" a Centre Forward who scored goals but dropped back bringing others into play. He thought RL could go on for years and that an advanced midfield role is where he would likely to end up "finding his natural position" that his range of passing could be fully used in. The next time I saw him(still inL1 at the time), he was not in anyway bitter about RL having signed for us but pleased he had joined a bigger club, and hoped he might get a chance in the Premiership, either with us or move on. I only bump into this bloke at a day at Gloucestershire Cricket so be interested to speaking with him again this summer if chance arises (hopefully with Premiership status still intact).
  2. May be an obvious suggestion, but have you tried The Saints store ? If it does not appear in the stock on the website, phone them or email them. Beyond that, no idea.
  3. With the exception of Hooiveld, our CB options at the moment all appear too lightweight. Shame that Hooiveld earlier in the season appears, at this level, to be playing in wellies too often. Fonte will offer a bit more 'muscle' on his return. Shame but we needed a 'dominating' CB in the window to sort this out, and again fell short in our targets. Perhaps Astori might have been the answer but it did not happen.
  4. Agreed. This though is far too much a sensible post, and not what we have come to expect of you Barry.
  5. I am not disagreeing with you on this one Dalek. In hindsight I was proved wrong in 2004 in not wanting Hoddle back - although we should still have been able to secure a replacement and progress without him but thats another story - hope my misgivings here are proved unfounded.
  6. passed the Prutton test with fluing colours then.
  7. But don't worry Dalek, he'll be able to attract bigger names to the club in the transfer window than "Atkins" managed to do.
  8. I'll wait to see a more informed opinion from someone at the game before commenting. So what does Benthelegend think of it ?
  9. Good to see my old mucker Ottery is also calling for common sense to prevail. But don't worry about this trifling relegation nonsense Ottery, we're heading for the Champions League. Anyway, do you reckon Tisdale will be in the frame again if we go down ? ( On another matter ,Exmoor Beast by the way seems to be a good brew from down your neck of the woods !).
  10. Tool. I used to enjoy watching that 'nose' playing for us and scoring sublime goals in the process. It is the greatest nose the world of football has ever seen. Snot even Menotti's - as a World Cup wiinning - nose comes close.
  11. yeh, f'sure
  12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaGpaj2nHIo Classic
  13. or telling Odem , and his agent, where the brown envelope was hidden ! That really is a p1ss poor episode, the player seemingly forgetting how his club rescued him from his "racist torment" as the media portrayed it,in signing him from Moscow.
  14. trust you to lower the tone..
  15. Rumour on web is that there is a tribute record being released for NA, it starts "Madkins, Madkins, we call him Madkins " by Adness.
  16. I think Stoke have pulled off a shrewd move in signing Butland for £4m, even though he's loaned back to Brum for the rest of the season.
  17. Agreed. Trouble is, we probably spent too much time planning the sacking of a manager to be sidetracked into more than one signing.
  18. Perhaps its a sign of things to come. Still 2 hrs till the window closes.
  19. Yes, I'll have a pm too please...
  20. Is he related to Eldridge Pope ?
  21. ditto ditto and ditto again. Just watching it brings back memories... and hairs stand on the back of your neck. But, the Biley miss looks a better surned chance every time I see it.. What celebrations, what a p1ss up ! Friary Meux, the local brew.
  22. yes
  23. Exactly my first thoughts on reading this. But one interview,careful press release later, and many of our fans are happy to join in ay Year Zero, forgetting NA ,or at the very least diminishing Adkins achievements.
  24. Ditto. Queen &"One Vision" have nothing to do with Saints. Thankfully.
  25. If its in The Sun then expect some sensational headline, and titillation. " Alan Pardew, and Nigel Adkins;my part in their downfall - a player's wife reveals all " perhaps ?
