That was too easy, Villa are ****.

Indeed he is, been totally crap all game.

Penalty & a straight red

I was told before Xmas that he would be around the Chelski game, but as they did not want to risk him in the cup don't be surprised to see him making an appearance very, very soon. Can only run in straight lines the echo said.... well two weeks ago maybe?

Lambert "I bet you a tenner I score on Saturday?" Adkins "Ha ha haaaaaaa easy money as you're not playing Rickie."

And we are **** at taking them. Shame Danny Fox & Lallana can't take them.

I'm just surprised that Norwich are discussing personal terms with him this morning as he would be a cracking player for us. The sort that could play off Jay Rod next season as I can't see Lambert here after the summer.

I too would go with that unless Adkins thinks Jos is not up to it so he will put Cork at CB and Davis in the sitting midfield role. If we attack from the off like Stoke then we should be out of reach at half time, the only worry i have is that Adkins may revert to defending football 2nd half instead of trying to smash them out of sight. Villa are that **** at the moment and if we cant beat them then it's pathetic.

Correct, because he has failed on this one he moves to the next one which is Adkins close to being axed. If I was Cortese I would arrange for his next visit to St Mary's a bad one.

Very true. Do you expect the club to say we have loads of money to spend so others bump the prices up? Im happy the way we are counting the pennies as Cortese is a class guy that wants the best for the club.

Shame we can't follow the American football style by bringing someone on the pitch for free kicks before getting them off quickly. That will suit Danny Fox!!

Don't hit the panic button as Cork can cover as CB as Clyne will be back.

Why on earth did we get rid of Coles, been at the club for years and has coached some class keepers. We often talk about the current ones and how dodgy they are, Include Bart to the list as he became a bag of nerves. Then Forepast was a half average keeper who became utter pants... We had two promising young kids that got released as well. Is this the problem then our current coaching setup?

That Marcus left Saints a fund in an account just before he passed away (bless the great man) I heard from an ex employer that it was for when we reach the Premiership as it will go towards funding the new stadium etc. The figure mentioned was 300m. Does anyone believe it could be true as Cortese often talks about champions league? Btw I'm taking the rumour as a piece of salt!!

All we need is an Italian manager, Hello Di Matteo :-D (Only joking but I bet he will wait around for a while incase Adkins struggles)

To be honest with you I have never heard of him before the link but since reading people's views, I say he's pretty good.

That's his weaker foot!!

It's great to have ambitions & a dream. Greece had the same feelings when they won Euro 2000 (I think)

Totally agree, it was just a shakey first 15 minutes and then he held his own well. Why is this not in the Boruc thread?

Im sure Plymouth fans will disagree with this.

Ha ha I love the fact we have so much great young talent at the club. It would be amazing if we could stay in the premiership and then bring in these super kids and enjoy them without having to worry about the big guns. I also love the fact that Cortese has a vision and he will not let any young player leave unless it was stupid money. The club have a simple setup. Keep the best young players. Pass like Barca. Give youth a chance. Improve the training ground. Play the same system from the under 8's to the first team.

Hey Crab, I honestly believe we will find the points as we have that spirit that could go to Old Trafford and take 3 points. If we had a little bit more luck & pressure situations like we must get 3 points (unlike Stoke) then Adkins would of chased it. I think we should forget who's playing who and focus on the form guide as that shows we are going in the right direction.

I heard it was a competition to find a half decent keeper, I believe a 68 year old granny caught one and is in line for the Villa game.
