Great news indeed, but have to agree with nick - contracts in this day and age mean absolutely zilch in term of keeping players at clubs. If offers come in they will be considered - simple business practice. The only thing that will keep Adam at the club is Adam, lets hope that he is in the Le Tiss mould both in terms of ability and commitment to the club.

Sad, but true. Ultimately in this high tech multimedia world that we now live in, getting the 'scoop' first is the ultimate aim for most journos. The fact that much 'detail' will be lost in translation is neither here nor there. He who publishes first is King and damn the detail.

I've never been to a Brides Convention - how huffy do they get...???

My guess would be that he was there to check out our 'total football' system, probably wants 'Keano' to adopt it up there at Sunderland...!

Agreed - must be a 'slow day' for the journo's today - not a lot of news out there. (Edit - Having said that and just read a further report, given that the driver of the car, one of Micks colleagues, sadly died at the scene then I guess they are correct in using the term 'serious road crash'. However the headline is still somewhat out of context.) As for Mick - he's probably taken harder knocks on the field during his day, no worries - he'll be fit for the next game...

That big - really - always looks a bit of a short ass to me - perhaps he's just got short legs...!!!!

Don't mind so long as it is at SMS - Derby anybody...???

Gillett may only be five four - but height (or lack of it) means nothing if you have the skill and ability. Michael Owen is no giant - but in his heyday he was pretty awesome too...

Trust you....!!!!

Saying that our fans should not be giving KP a hard time coz he was a quality striker for us.. Saying that Brum haven't played tonite... excuses or what They sound bloody suicidal..... Brum don't care about the cup... Southampton probably aren't going to do anything in the league, whereas no doubt brum will 'walk it'.... 'uck me... one just said 'fair result' - there is a god...!!!

Get in Adammmmmmm.......

Relax - I think you'll find it was Ridgewell, you need to adjust that 'coat hanger' of an aerial that you are using...!!

Phew....!!!! Brum close....

From what I've just heard - yes he is being booed...!!!

Anybody know what the attendance is yet...???

Just tried again - but still not working - somewhat frustrating. Perhaps my avatar is somewhat apt in the cirmcumstances...!!

Ahhhh how refreshing - a thread entitled 'Jan issues wake-up call' degenerates into yet another 'Burley out' thread - same old suspects, same old arguments, same old counter arguments, same old outcome, same old,...... everything really. He's gone - left the building, moved on, perhaps others should follow suit. Now, what was the title on this thread again....????

Nope - still doesn't seem to work - I wonder if some people are looking at cached pages. Very strange that some can access whilst other can't, not too sure that this would be a 'demand' related issue either. I'll try again later.

I'm afraid to say that neither link works for me either - I get the holding page from GoDaddy.com. There appears to be some technical issues afoot...!

Wow, whole lotta glues, resins and toxics there - were you a 'sniffer'...??? Would explain some of your more spurious posts if so....

Rarely do I leap to the defence of AS and his somewhat negative opinions - and I'm not about to start now. (I'll take the points Baj..!) However, if you actually read the post all AS has done is pose two questions based on his interpretation of certain situations - no more no less. He has not actually given his own opinion - simply asked for other peoples thoughts on the the questions that he raised, therefore stimulating debate and discussion about relevant issues. I have crossed swords with him before, I will again no doubt - but I see little to berate him for over this thread. (Supporting AS - I need to lie down..!!) For my own part - I'm in agreement with Phil - I think that at the start of the RL JP negotiations the 'bottom line' would have been clearly discussed. Budget, stick to it, get on with the job - difficult I know - but we are in difficult times

Good point well made. Possibly I do only have the energy to take an interest in the 'on field' side of supporting the club. If I use my 'imagination' I could become embroiled in the endless boardroom threads - but then, like many on here, my views would be borne of 'imagination' and very little fact. Capable of both yes, but prefer to live in the real world, accept the club is currently in a sorry state that dictates a transitional period to try to get it on an even keel.

2 - 1 Derby - but things will get better from here on...

I wish him all the best - he did a job for us and did it well. Had to laugh yesterday though when Adrian Durham was talking about his move to Stoke on TalkSport - he made one of his many derogatory snipes in saying that 'Andrew Davies wouldn't be able to save Stoke from relegation as he wasn't very good - thats why he played for Saints'. I just wondered how his show co-host felt about the comment - Ian Wright...!!!
