Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

NAS drives are great unless the power supply fails and takes both drives with it. I've seen it happen on several occasions. I run a NAS and then I do a manual back up to an external HDD which I don't keep in the house for the simple reason that if I was burgled or if there was a fire I'd lose everything.

Utter garbage! I use a couple of Apple products but there's no way that you can say that they're the best. They're very good at marketing but it's a sorry world we live in where people would rather own something because of the badge on it. :-/

1-4 to Spuds.

A mate of mine had a couple of seasons playing alongside Dixon when he was player coach at Hitchin Town. Apparently he's got a terrible gambling problem and had blown all his money from his playing days. He'd had his car repossessed and was driving around in a red Nissan Micra at the time.

Put Kelvin back in. He's had his punishment.

It doesn't matter what Apple do as people will just go out and buy their products. It's a crazy world we live in where people buy things because of the brand name over the level of performance. I personally think that the bubble is about to burst for Apple. The connection thing is a farce and the price for the mini doesn't make any sense at all. All the rival products are sub £200 and the mini is too closely priced to the ipad.

Gaza Clyne, Jos, Fonte, Fox Punch, Morgan, Chaplow, Davis Lallana Rickie

Had a very interesting conversation with a fellow Saints fan this evening. His theory is that AL needs to be dropped as he's a big part of our current problem. He feels that the criticism of Fox has been a bit unfair as AL doesn't provide him with any cover when he plays in front of him. Basically AL should play in the hole behind a front man but not out wide. At first I was sceptical about his comments but on talking it through I have to say I'm inclined to agree. As soon as GR returns AL should spend some time on the bench. He certainly shouldn't be captain. We both feel that role would be better suited to SD. I know others on here have said the same thing. The other point of conversation was that we both agreed that Chaplow should be in the team whilst Cork is sidelined. A midfield with Chaplow, Spiderman, Punch and Davies would be our best bet at the moment. Just wondered what others thought?

Can't really argue with any of that. Wise words. Particularly point 3!

I felt we had a problem before the season started. You could see that key areas hadn't been addressed and there wasn't enough quality in the squad. It's now blatantly obvious that we have a major problem.

The signings don't make any sense at all. I said this at the time and all I got was abuse. I had a £10 bet with a mate that GR would spend most of the season out injured. The moment we spent £12m on one player I thought, that's going to go tits up. He'll be off at the end of the season for about 1/4 of what we paid for him.

He was available too. Personally I'd have rather seen us spend the money on him than GR.

What's all this 'We all said'? If you look back you'll see that many of those who suggested this were often slagged off and told that they were clueless. It makes me laugh as the people who said 'we don't need defenders if out intention is to score one more than the opposition' are the people who are now saying, 'we should've strengthened the defence'.

Errr, wasn't this what we were saying as soon as we won promotion. Somebody, be it Cortese or Adkins has failed miserably at addressing the most important areas.

Derby went down with 11 pts. They won one game all season. If my memory serves me correctly it was a 1-0 win against Newcastle.

People need to stop dwelling on the past. It happened and it can't be changed so why waste energy worrying about it?

Glenn Hoddle please.

Really, why? Are you blind? Can you not see that he's clueless at this level? Bad signings. Terrible tactics. Give me one good reason why he shouldn't be replaced by somebody who's actually got a clue about how to keep this club in the Premiership.

We're a complete **** up at the back. I'd be inclined to go to 5 at the back just to try and stop us leaking goals.

Actually, now would be a good time to go, Nigel. There's plenty of vacant positions in the championship and in all fairness you'd do a good job at that level.

**** off Adkins. Blah, blah, blah. You've proved that you're a tactical nonse. You have to defend as well as attack yet you don't seem to realise that. We are paying the price heavily for Spunking the transfer kitty on a championship standard striker and an unproven midfielder who looks to be worth a fraction of the £12m wasted on him. your failure to bring in quality at the back has cost us big time. We are becoming a laughing stock. Now **** off so that somebody who knows what they are doing can try and spare us any more embarrassment.

Summed up perfectly.

Adkins is a tactical nightmare. Week after week he's shown us that he hasn't got a clue. We need to stop the rot as soon as possible.

The man is completely out of his depth. Tactically he's proving to be a complete nightmare. Thanks, Nigel but your time is up.

When are you going to start showing the kind of form that warrants an outlay of £7 million?
