I'm sure I've posted this before but Football Focus featured Adkins just after he was appointed manager of S****horpe United. IIR, he did really well as caretaker before being handed the reins full time. It always stuck with me how well he came across in the interview and was pleased when he was appointed here.

Recently, Battles' Gloss Drop was rather disappointing considering how incredible their debut was. John Stanier is truly a phenom on the drums, but it's clear Tyondai Braxton was the band's creative force. They've lost their edge live, too.

Ahh, St James chippy reminds me of college lunch times.

Does anyone actually know the true behind the scenes situation with Puncheon? Class player, really.

Got a great text from a mate when he scored. Simply read: "Taxi".

I thought they were won in football stadiums?

The BBC coverage clearly shows it hit the bar, btw, but I can see why people think otherwise.

This is a bigger conspiracy than 9/11. The "official" footage shows the ball "hit the stanchion" but the amateur shots show the ball hit the bar. Hmmm, who do we believe?

Ok.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/3757079/Theo-Walcott-Ive-been-called-n-word-once-and-that-was-at-school.html Hopefully a lot of kids who look up to him will think the Saints academy is the place to be. If we can keep growing at the rate we are, we'll be able to hold on to the likes of Walcott, Bale and Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Beautiful! Only one place behind the Premier League

Arsenal will finish runners-up and win the FA Cup.

You both say it's all down to other clubs, so how is it justified to say "expect two or three new signings" when nothing has been finalised? Therefore, I'd suggest people debunk this thread as usual rumours.

A true sign of intent.

Martial law in days?

I was watching nostalgic goals of the 90s on ESPN Classic the other day and David Weatherall popped up with a diving header. I seem to remember we were very interested in signing him, maybe even perhaps talking to him before he chose Bradford City. But he turned us down and we turned to Dean Richards. Funny how football turns out.

Jemal fix it.

Gorkss is quality and it would be a shame if we didn't accept the deal.

A completely different player.

Theme of Moon River: Steve, De Ridderrrr Plays in red and white Makes Messi look sh*te etc

No, that was Daniel De Ridder, who was class before his move to the UK.

Cool. Thought we'd signed Danny De Ridder then. Jean-Paul Seijs must be a gllutton for punishment if that period really was the best time of his life.

Bet it doesn't happen.
