Adkins has done very well indeed, I think we are too sensitive at times about comments from opposition managers/players etc. After all Gus is no stranger to inflammatory remarks himself.
As for the crap about it being Pardew's team he inherited, the same could be said about Wendy when he took over from Pardew, and Saints results under Wilkins were P4 W0 D0 L4, so Adkins should be given a lot of credit. He has a very good squad, and if we finish close to them this season I'll be very happy.
El Pres - I thought this 'oing soft/devils advocate' pproach of yours was restricted to the man love you feel for Glenn Murray. You really have had a road to damascus moment havn't you
Or more likely all that porn and cheap totty in manchester has finally sent you gaga
Actually - to be serious for a moment, I cant disagree with your comment. We tried to get Adkins when he was being relegated with Scunthorpe and almost persuaded him. At the time I would have liked that although I think now that no matter what he's achieved at Southampton, I wouldn't swap him for the stylish, classy and frankly verging on bonkers at times Poyet. He is now my favourite Albion manager of all time.
