Thoughts ?? IMO Adkins has more about him, he perhaps does not talk as good a game as Pardew did however has never had whispers about him in quiet corners either. Also the main difference for me was that for all the good Pardew brings to football clubs he has been a serial underachiever, mainly getting teams to fail at the final hurdle. IMO Adkins won't let us crumble in the crunch time of this season, and IMO we will achieve good things under him as when we move up into the NPC we should be able to play the football he wants due to less teams sitting back and less grounds being more like the veracity then a football pitch.

The one opposite the train station/next to the electricity Grid site (behind toys are us) always do a good job
-
Yeah, in Totton. Pretty decent shop TBH and usually has a decent amount of offers on it. I still like Tesco's though.
-
As far as I know the Royal Oak is still open, still can't see what they would get from building a Morrisons ? Is it really an ideal location for a supermarket ?
-
Heard through work that it is going to be demolished, not got any links, I can ask a few questions tommorow if you want to know anything. I don't know whats going to be built there yet, but I am sure I will find out soon enough.
-
Is it actually going to be a morrisons ?? Seems a strange place to put one.
-
Used to be the place to be back in the day apparantly. However, is about to be bulldozed. Not that it massively effects me, anyone know whats going on the site ??

Hi all, finally got my sponsorship page up and running. I for one also didn't want to post my full name on here, but hey ho i'll bite the bullet, surely thats worth at least a £5 !! Anyone that wishes to help me out by raising money can go to my page here, well TBH I think any of us will be greatful to any contributions to the Saints foundations. Lets just home my knee holds up !!! Anything you can spare, even 50p I will be extremely greatful for, just don't turn up and throw stuff at me on the day. http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/BradSmirk

Not the topic i was hoping for tbh

So long as Lampard is a mile away from the England midfield we will be fine, so so very overated. And in a little way I agree with Hypo (shudder), not in his assessment of Rooney and Gerrard who are both definately world class players, but in respect to playing for England. What we have seen over the years is a reliance on players, and unfortunately that means they will underperform and get away with it which is a sin. IMO Capello should be looking for teams like the one he sent out last night, both young and hungry. Whats the point on playing players who will be too old for the next world cup ?? Ok have a few around that have heart and desire, perhaps the likes of Terry and Gerrard but dump the old duffers that don't give a sh*t, a la Lampard. We need to give our youngsters experience. Its no coincidence that the lack of proaction and blooding young players by the FA and the worries of most of us over the lack of young english talent go hand in hand.

I have wondered for a while, I drive the M27 every day and it is becoming decidedly lighter.

There is a BJ Champion around somewhere, in a green van. I lol'd

Welcome back Deppo. Yeah I heard that, surprising. TBH i don't think the level of blame should be soley at Capello's door. The FA and the premier league need to take a massive portion of that blame and the fact that we never completed the Burton football academy was an utter disaster

Will Cortese send adkins on his way should we not secure promotion?
Smirking_Saint replied to Mr X's topic in The Saints
What a crock of crap. How have we seen that he cannot attract players of the right calibre into the team ? For a start he has convinced Chambo, Lallana and possibly Martin to stay when they could/did have better offers elsewhere. How can you say he is not good enough to get us promoted when his record so far has seen to be easily good enough if it wasn't for the disaster that was pardew at the beginning of the season ? (sorry to slag off your hero) How can you say he won't play better in the league above ? When we are playing well enough in this league and if anything the NPC is more of a footballing league (less sh*tty pitches and less teams that won't play) You really do make me laugh, you have such an utter hatred of Adkins ? Whats the matter did a physio run off with your wife ? -
What would you rather have - 3 games in hand or 5 extra points?
Smirking_Saint replied to kpturner's topic in The Saints
I am cofident that we will get at the very least 21 out of our remaining 30 points. IMO that would take us out of this poxy embarassing league. -

Smirking_Saint replied to kpturner's topic in The Saints
I am confident we will get 6 points from Orient and Charlton at home. Adkins has got the team grinding results out and we are beginning to play the football he wants us to play and mix it up when we need to. The problem is our style doesn't hold itself very well on crappy pitches and teams that hold back and play defensively. I do however have full faith that we are going to get out of this league. Just a shame we had such p*ss poor preperation from Pardew and a disasterous start what with Liebherrs death (rip) and the Wilkins wobble. -
What for ?? Jesus christ that would be amazing
-
Yeah lets slag another player into the ground with the old northam patented, 'now he has a contract he is sh*t' routine. Must be Chaplows go to be on that list soon eh ??
-
15-25k is ridiculous at League 1 table and would probably cause dressing room undress and for what ?? He is not a million miles better than what we have, the fact he supports the saints does not make him a better player.
