  1. Correction, some part
  2. Roy Hodgson confirms that Adam Lallana and Jay Rodriguez will make their England debuts tomorrow against Chile
  3. Vision, commitment, application, achievement = success
  4. We do not do loans in unless it is with a clear clause to have an option to buy. Our policy is buy in better than we have or use our emerging academy players.
  5. Wanyama started with a back problem and after he contributed to the mistake giving Hull their goal he lost a bit of confidence. Soon after he kicked the ball into touch emphasising that confidence issue and was taken off. Good Managerial decision followed up by team getting behind him after the game. Ramirez was called up for the Uruguayan training camp before the game in accordance with FIFA regulation and nothing more should be read into his future. A good day for the club
  6. Just watch how we play. Look at our fitness. Look at our togetherness. Our club is going places. This is not old Saints. This is new and improved Saints. Believe in the dream, it is present day reality.
  7. Saints want to win every competition they enter. However, there must be some balance. We have many squad players that need to get some competitive football in match conditions so that if they are called upon when unfortunate injuries occur they will at least be up to some speed. Likewise it is a chance to give some of the promising youngsters a chance to see what is required to step up to the next level and a chance for the Management to gauge there effectiveness and promise. Be clear, this is likely to happen in the FA cup as well. It is what comes from trying to seek success in the Premier League. That is our priority.
  8. What a strange question. Of course the players want to play in Europe even if it starts with the Europa cup. It is the next step in their careers, will bring more attention to the club and will show we are not far away from competing in the Champions League. The club did not want to qualify via the fair play league last season as the team was not ready. They want to qualify based on league position as that shows there can compete.
  9. The problem with signing overseas players like Ramirez and Osvaldo is that they will take a lot of matches to adapt to the English style which is quicker and more physical than they have been used to. Add to that they are expected to track back and defend under our system which is equally alien. Ramirez is working well in training by all accounts. Osvaldo is being carried by the rest of the team when it comes to defending and he needs to adapt his game. He will learn a lot from Lambert in that respect. Do not write these guys off yet. Lovren is a quality player who has adapted well. Wanyama is of equal quality. It is no coincidence that our defence has improved with these two players. The remainder were purchased in the Adkins era so I am not going to comment on those.
  10. View from the Top, I am not going to copy your comment as a quote. What an outrageous comment to make. You have kids. How would you like someone to make that comment to you. Hope you edit but I am unsure you have what it takes. Could be wrong though!
  11. Go away Tristan Smith, SF76, Stanley, Dune. You do not fool me. Surprised the Administrators have not picked up from your payment to be a full member that you are breaking the rules by trying to get back after being banned under all the other names I have quoted.
  12. “Clubs spend money they do not have,” he said. “They spend next year’s income. They spend money that will not arrive for two years and say, ‘But we’ll have some success and bring in more cash to cover the shortfall.’ It cannot be sustained. “In good times you need to be saving money for the bad times. If we reach the Premier League, I would like to be in a position where we did not need parachute payments. In good years you should put money away for the bad years.” - Nicola Cortese
  13. Who Nicola or Dune? The principal character and narrator is a boy (in later sections a young man), Tristan Smith, who has been born with malformations to his face and limbs so extensive that the physicians who perform the delivery recommend that he be given no care. His mother, an unmarried actress named Felicity Smith, rejects the doctors' advice and takes the infant home. Tristan is largely raised on the premises of the Feu Follet, an avant garde theatre collective of which his mother is the guiding force. His presumptive father is Bill Millefleur, an actor in the troupe and Felicity's lover, but two other men also exercise paternal roles in his life to an extent. One is Vincent Theroux, a manufacturer and politician, who has also been Felicity's lover; the other is Wally Paccione, an ex-convict who is the production manager of the Feu Follet. Tristan can not walk normally and his speech is hard for others to understand, but in spite of his physical limitations, he discovers a vocation as a performer. Someone will understand the link
  14. Ferguson sacked by Preston as well. Chaplow was being forced out by him. One to watch
  15. Just looked at the tables. If Exeter win they go above us!
  16. Puncheons attitude was the reason he moved on loan. Neither Manager nor Assistant liked his attitude. Short of a bit up top too. Liked a smoke. No loss

  20. 1. The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi. 2.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization. 12. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: 'You stay here; I'll go on a head.' 13.

If you jumped off the bridge in Paris, you'd be in Seine. 21. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons.

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too. 24. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my electron.' The other says 'Are you sure?' The first replies, 'Yes, I'm positive.' 25. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication. 26. There was the person who sent ten puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.
  21. IT WAS business as usual for manager Nigel Adkins at S****horpe United yesterday as speculation persists over his future. He remains one of the hot favourites with the bookmakers for the job at League One Southampton. The Saints have had 30 applications to fill the vacancy from managers currently in employment. Adkins is not one of them. That is not really his style. He does have ambitions to move on from Glanford Park but believes it will be the work he has done here that will attract the interest of other chairmen. That now has clearly happened, with Southampton last night reported to have been given permission to speak to the United boss. Yesterday, after taking training as normal, Adkins insisted he was still focused on United. But he refused the chance to pour cold water on the speculation linking him with the post. "Obviously I am aware of all the speculation that is being led by the bookmakers and the media," the Iron boss told the Telegraph. "Over the last few years at this club there has always been speculation linking one of our players to bigger clubs. "There has also been speculation about myself. "We have always been able to deal with it in the past and I am sure we will do the same now. "I would like to think there is always going to be speculation because if there is, then it shows we are always going to be doing things positively and doing things right. "When you look at it, it is good for S****horpe United to be linked in that way as well. It gives the supporters something to talk about. "I am totally focused on S****horpe United – the wheels are already in motion preparing for our home game with Bristol City on Saturday – the first of seven we have before the next international break. "I have been here at S****horpe now for 14 years. "I think people can see how hard I work and I would like to think that rubs off on everybody else here. "I am ambitious and there will come a day when I walk out of here, hopefully because of what we have achieved here – but who knows when that will be?" Adkins has had four successful years in charge at Glanford Park and knows he is unlikely to find the same sort of working relationship elsewhere that he has had at United with Wharton. But Southampton is the size of club that could prove an attraction to Adkins – if he felt the set-up was right. The Saints were a Premier League club only five years ago and feel they have the potential to get back there. "I am sure Southampton are actively looking to appoint a new manager as quickly as they can," said Adkins. "Dean Wilkins has been put in temporary charge. He is a safe pair of hands – a similar situation I was in when Brian (Laws) left S****horpe. "I am sure there have been plenty of applications for the role and a lot of highly thought of people who have applied for the job." “You look at history of the club and fan base they have got. “They are in their 125th season now. “You look at the stadium and the ambition of where they want to go. “As a club they suffered financially by going into administration. “New owners are in there now and will want to try and keep Southampton Football Club moving forward. “They will want to get back to the Championship as soon as possible. “That is the obvious link with me because we have been promoted twice from the division Southampton now find themselves in. “The chairman there now has an important decision to make.”
  22. No need, it will be correct tomorrow. Cannot believe the gullability on here from many. On that note I am finished. No posts left today.
  23. I cannot believe people are taking Deppo seriously! Look at his posting history. He is a wind up merchant.
  24. Is it possible Brown was flying out of Eastleigh after interview and that the reason for no announcement yet is that he is not the favoured one?
