Love it. ****s. And remember kids: bullies never win.

Peanut?

Nokia's approach to apps is to go for quality rather than quality; the view being that whilst there are ******* thousands of apps on iPhone and Android, in fact the top downloads are delivered by a relatively small number of apps. Hence, I very much doubt there will be a Saints app in the short term: doesn't seem to fit with the immediate plans I have seen. That said they are signing up LOADS of developers now, so maybe something will get sorted. Oh, and the N8 is ****ing amazing.

There is a difference between being physically fit and mentally prepared. Maybe he is just not happy at Saints right now. Were there any bids for him in the summer?

We need to stop fannying about and get the manager situation sorted NOW. No excuses. We are still some way from the season being a complete write-off, and I do belive we will go up this year. But losing breeds a losing mentality and that has to be stopped. Think it will be tough for Adkins: we'll butcher him if he doesn't get immediate results! I say pay MON whatever he wants to do the job until the season end.

Impressive. Comes across really well. Thing to bear in mind is that this is quite possibly the toughest press conference he's has to deliver, after in all probablility a very tough couple of days for him. Sounded clam, considered and confident despite this. Like the way he stressed how important it is for Wilkins to prep the squad for our tough game on Saturday. He clearly wants the job. Interesting how he kept stating that 'things had been done in the right way'. Bit of a fingers in the air to his Chairman. Suhari liked this. Suhari thinks Nigel Adkins will sleep on it, resign in the morning, take over mighty Saints and head down to watch us on Saturday.

That crossed my mind earlier today. Would be an excellent appointment.

I wonder if that might be near the truth (not the Mourinho bit obviously); but I can't help thinking we MIGHT be in for a surprise. Lowe did it with Burley, when it looked nailed on for the Dutch pair. I don't recall many AP rumours before he appeared. And we know NC likes to keep things close to his chest. Coulld AAdkins be a cover? I wonder if another Lawrie/KK style unveiling is possible in this day and age? (I suspect not to be fair...)

My random thinking.... Young, English, success on CV, possibly player-manager. (Ignoring the 'Wow' bit for now - although there was that comment from the twitter agent that said Saints fans would be happy). Wonder if the 'success on CV' has to refer to management success? Maybe a well known player having his first management job? Could fit with Reed's 'guru' position *cough*. Maybe he might be a mentor to someone. Any fading players around who have had previous dealings with Reed? Is it too much of a stretch to think we might get a former 'big name' player in their first management role?

Really don't want him. He has come across FAR too desparate for the role over the past few days. Perhaps not a bad thing - shows he is motivated. But he is a bit crap really.

If you like Nokia: The E5 is a very nice bit of kit. C6 is good: nice keyboard. C7 is on its way.......

Been v busy this week, so have struggled to keep on top of the news (rumours?) What was the jist of this article? Can someone let me know? PM will be fine.

Interesting. If nothing else it further underlines how far we have come in little over a year.

Ditto!

Read it; liked it. Was not what I expected at all. In many ways a very 'easy' read; but then again, its not. Good book. Now back to the Rebus series.......

Too many so called 'experts' talk total ********. Much as I dislike Claridge for being a pikey fish-****ging Skate, he is actually a very good pundit: especially as regards the lower leagues. Considered, well balanced and knowledgeable. Bet he has more insight into the goings on at SMS than most of us too....

20 questions? Go on.... 1. Is he working at the moment?

So shocked and saddened by this. Thankyou so much for everything you did for our club. I hope you know just close to the supporters hearts you are. RIP.

Decided not to take him to the vet because: 1. He's completely 'himself' (aside from ****ing yesterday: no repeat perfomances today): still eating and acting the same; chasing his sister; sleeping on my lap; being a tart for cat-treats. Seems happy enough 2. It's a bugger to catch the little sod and he finds the trauma of a trip to the vet terrible (always ****s himself in the car): hard work having a 'rescue cat' 3. I'm lazy Today he has been fine: perhaps more chilled than usual, but then I've just got one of those plug in pheromone things. So, I think he'll get through it okay. I didn't even kick him after the game today. The Grisholm novel he ****ed on is ****ed though.

Gaza strip?

Not entirely on topic, but that tackle was bloody horrible. On another day that would've been a busted ankle. Wonder if the ref would have sent him of it he had caused a serious break?

AP gone by Tuesday? Owen signs tomorrow? Lambert off to 'Boro?

Hmmmmm. Not a real surprise given that we are Saints. Annoying thing is the apparent inability to score without Lambert. The crosses in the first half we tailor-made for him, BUT never ideal for Barnard/Connolly. Both good goalscorers, but have to be given the right kind of chances. Great for Rickie to attack a floated cross from deep positions, or hold up play for others to join; need something different for Barnard/Connolly. Best chance of the second half: Lallana got to the bye-line and pulled it back for Barnard to run onto. Not annoyed about loosing so much as feeling annoyed at the lack of a plan b.

We look tidy, but really need to move the ball quicker. Too one-paced.
