Adkins deserves the plaudits. He's been top drawer.

Agree on both points. I'd like to see us bring in Lewis (P/boro) or Smithies (Huddersfield) next season.

Heard Cotterill and his nasal "ohh- arr ing" through an interview on Solent. He said he had given the chief exec names of three players on his wish list. Forecast and Pulis are probably the other two then.

Especially as we are together as one..

Listen, the way things are going,we'll be struggle to keep him here...

I ****ing love you Guly

Perhaps your emphasis with the "... " is over the wrong word. I don't think supporters "want" us to lose, but see an exit from the cup at an early stage to be in our long term interest and benefit. Of course I too would like a L1 and cup double. Although European football might play havoc with our 2011/12 season in the championship.

Yes, definitely want to avoid a replay. Should we make it through then the Charlton home game will be shunted further foward,so not too bothered about winning today if its at the expense of the league progress. Most important of all, I just hope we come out of today without injury to key players.

Deserves a good reception.

Just realised my son has changed my avatar ! Appropriate for today, but Johnny Cash will return.

Great news that Adam will remain in the building.

£1M ? Yes, good sale. Palace though will probably want their manager sorted first though,so I'd disregard that rumour. Article is slightly discredited by reference to Skates looking at him, now they certainly know they can't afford him.

Or are they intending to make another statement ?

Tremendous news,and a great 'statement', the prospect of AL leaving in the next four weeks would have left us motally and psycologically wounded for the promotion surge ahead. That of course is true,but is likely to be influenced by our own progress and as you say we should (depending on the clause in his contract) be able to negotiate for a better fee. Also, like the fact its another 11.26PM exclusive on the Saints site.

Strikes me that this could be a cracking cup tie,with both teams going for it,desperately trying to lose.

If they did, then perhaps they'll take Tommy Forecast instead.

Fits in with the Cadogan rumour earlier perhaps.

Its either the butler, he did it, or a migrant worker from the Tesco Express where she bought the pizza. Surprised the press have not rumbled it yet.

Perhaps Camoli just wants to tap up Cortese for a job.

I too was at the game and go with Smirking & Gemmel's recollection. Tony Funnell hit the post in the first half, no doubt he intended that rather than scoring.
