Nigel Adkins is a ...

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Do you really think our Nigel gives a monkey about what anybody else thinks. He is his own man, not trying to be something he is not. At the moment he is having the problem of not being able to motivate overpaid players who think they are better than they actually are. Which to be honest is very similar to Poyet, who seems to be struggling with a weak squad, players who seem to like being on the injured list so they don't have to put their neck on the line. Stupidly accrued bookings now leaves the Albion in dire straights, are there enough players available to fill the bench ? Both teams are in appalling form at the moment and todays game could go either way. I'm not even certain I want the SAINTS to go up this year, silly as we where so far clear for a while and despite a string of poor results are still 2 points clear. Can you imagine getting thumped in the Premier League every week and having to watch the previously mentioned overpaid twats like Rooney, Balotelli. Maybe a few seasons in the top 8 of the championship would be ok. How's that for being negative. Anyway, lets hope Rickie can get a couple today and Adkins gives a start to David Connoly instead of that cart horse Brazilaian Guly. Come on you reds. But Brighton will always be my second team, and an awful lot of other peoples too. Happy New Year to all

Do you want to go up?

Ask the average Blackpool supporter if they enjoyed themselves last season, of course they did. You remember the good games, the victories against all odds, the David Goliath battles. But it depends on the clubs ambition, look at West Brom, yo yo for a few years until the money stream allows you to compete. Its worth it in the end and enjoy the ride.

We're gonna look pretty stupid calling Adkins a wanker at the present mo

 

[Clive Walker's slaphead]

Yeah great idea - let's spend 90 minutes berating Adkins and then realise the games passed us by and we've lost 4-0.

 

[sir albion]

He's also a very good manager, and let's be honest, no worse than Gus.

If we was all to be honest gus is far worse

 

[Shooting Star]

True. But the arrogance and the glasses. Just make you want to hate him. And living somewhere infested with Southampton fans. Also makes you want to hate him.

And the orange face.

I would say Gus is just less experienced at this level. Adkins must have had two or three? full seasons, experiencing relegation when he was less experienced at that level.

 

[Seagull Steve]

With our current position, I would suggest ignoring Atkins/ Hammond etc, and get behind The Albion,Gus and all our players, we can be the 12th man today and we need to be, bollocks to Atkins and the Saints.

The only proper response to the original post. LETS GET BEHIND THE LADS.

I'd rather you all concentrated on generating positve energy to support our depleted weary team, myself.

i'm with u apart from that silly b about players wanting to b on the injury list which i don't believe for one moment

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It was fun last season but irrelevant this season. I'd far rather support the team this afternoon. Seagulls.

PS If you think Guly is a carthorse, my friend, wait till you see OUR second striker (the one without the blonde curly hair).

For some reason saints fans have this opinion that Guly is utter shit. Yet he's the third highest scorer in the league, 6 behind Lambert and has got 8 assists (approx). If a player is coming up with that, how on earth can he be dropped? especially for a player that has about 30 mins game time in 3 months....

1 relegation, then kept them up the 2 seasons later. In all that time he spent less money than you did on CMS.

My point was, rather than having a swipe at Adkins, was more to underline GP's inexperience at manager level.
There's no doubt that NA is more experienced which = better at this stage in their careers.

He is a tool of the highest order but you can't deny what he is doin at Southampton is first class !
