Smirking_Saint

Rickie getting into positions Ive not really seen him in often enough this year, Ramirez is just breathtaking I am so excited about this guy he is brilliant. Jos having a decent game, Maya and Boruc looking decent Clyne and Punch our worst players but thats no slight on them, Everton have such a strong left side. Im a little excited now, great pressing, a hunger to keep the ball COYR excited

What did you say previously ?

Great article that sums up exactly how I feel about the situation. Which is the majority of my sadness of Niges dismissal was for him as a man and the way he was discarded and not really due to his talents as a tactician or talent spotter. What is worrying is the man we have in place cannot speak english. If it were the summer it would not be so bad.

Can we send him a signed photo of all of us from Saints web ?

We are turning delightfully tinpot waving a white hankey, I will cringe so much

What direction ? They made the decision that NA couldnt take us to the next level, personally I agree, just the timing all wrong. You will have Cortese, Reed, probably Mitchell too as he is pretty trusted. Reed has done well here TBH, he was charged with developing the academy, sports science centre and scouting team I cant disagree he has done a good job.

Cant be 100% no but lets just say its a long old contract he is on now isnt it

Just thought it would be nice to get Restarks muppet show opening image into the book thats all

Its not, we have been here a million times ffs Do some research and stop bobbing up and down on bandwagons

I slso posted earlier, and saw it on the site but its not there any more ?

Its a nice touch TBH, can you also do a one smirking_saint, itll arguably be more popular Seriously though, I woke up Friday, thought WTF at the weather and told the wife she wasnt going to work cos I wasnt gonna come out and rescue her, then read the rumours, laughed and literally 10 mins after saying to the wife jokingly Adkins has been sacked he bloody was Then I was livid, not upset as Im double hard but I was the double hard equivalent of upset weeping whey protein n stuff. Not as angry now, I now realise most of my wronged feelings were for Nige as a bloke Ahh ******** Im still angry

This your doing crabby ? You snivveling little git

The only way loads of our players will go is if they paid the market rate for them, so no, loads of our players wont go

What statement is he going to make ? I was sacked ?! Not really groundbreaking is it ? He could of cpurse talk of difficulties working with Cortese but it doesnt seem the measure of the man. As for Pardew, he didnt sign a confidentiality agreement, nor did he sleep with anyones wife, but he also didnt stand to gain anything from giving a statement

Agree mostly but factor is the removal of a man loved by fans and players and replaced with a new guy who though talented does not speak english is strange.

It was more than just Adkins but yeah he did well, if it was the summer I would agree with the change, I just cant now though

Is it wrong that Im getting pains there ?

Its pretty obvious to most with a braincell

Arent they to stop people parking there and going shopping ? Doesnt bother me as I just park in the sub and take the 2 minute walk but parking charges is more than a little petty to get your knickers in a twist tbh

Despite agreeing in the main to what you have written here I am still thinking that this is a real mistake from Cortese right now, my sad feelings for Nige have started to subside and I realise that I was horrified by his sacking because of the man as a person and not necessarily from a managerial POV, he did well enough with cash in lower leagues but the prem is a different beast. That said, if it was progression that NC wanted, why now ? Why not wait ? Surely summer would be the right time ? For me its a gamble that could backfire right now, and I dont think NC is silly enough to gamble so much for survival, it could be three things in my eyes. 1. Adkins knew the writing was on the wall, started looking for jobs etc (not likely) 2. Poch was high on his list, he got tired of waiting for bad results (excuses) and told NC to put up or shut up. 3. A new signing, big name, but would only come with a new man (coutinho) We will see

NC has sacked managers before and now put the club in a position that should we even get relegated we stand to rake in 90 million. Has seen us go from the depths for a cost of 15m to the prem in 3 years. He has sacked managers before, sold popular players. So ask yourself, from the leibherrs point of view is he really doing a bad job ? I have a problem as we are viewed negatively, he acts with little respect and 'this' decision 'could' cost us prem survival but on the whole he is a success. So whats your point ?

You ok poppet ? Theres places you can go and people who will listen you know ?

Getting a bit rediculous and slightly tinpot now TBH

It really shouldnt
