Totally agree with this - who goes in a big group that can start this off

it was nt to do with the fact that he could nt bring on quality players - it was to do with the fact that fergusion changed his shape because it wasnt working in the 1st half - where as when it was clear that our shape wasnt working in the 2nd half - we didnt change our shape - we played with no width on more than one occassion schnedlin and chaplow had no options wide to pass. Also Leeds last season proved that utds ok lets say 2nd string team can be beaten. Also at no point have i slagged the team off I thought they were outstanding yesterday and played the better football for most of it. I assume that those that have critised me, think the shape was perfect in the 2nd half or that its fine to bury your head in the sand and not change things just cross your fingers and hope for the best

If you really want to put it in perspective the majority of the utd team were their 3rd string players - which we could of and should of beaten - Giggs isnt he 37 FFS

I think today highlighted why Fergusion is a great manager and Adkins is a league one manager - after the 1st half Fergusion realised there was no width so he changed it around and Utd got back into the game in the 2nd half. So while it worked for us in the 1st half it clearly didnt work in the 2nd half. our only threat in the 2nd half was when Harding did run down the wing. AOC was ineffectual today as he played down the middle and had no space to run in to. When the subs were finally made we stayed in the same shape - most of them playing out of position. I think Adkins bottled it. No compliants with the players - put everything into it. Regarding the singing, i think you only get a true perspective if you sit in the Chapel end - although we could make out what they were singing in the Northam it was hardly impressive - when the Utd fans got their act together it was far more impressive although nothing compared to when BHA came down. when we get back to the promised land of the premiership i think this will be a real issue and will not create the cauldren that we all want

agreed what shall we sing

Do you think that they have shown pictures of Pulis to completely throw out Ferguson's preparations for the game - do you think he has lost any sleep working out how to contain this immense talent

Why pretend Lallana is playing surely if he wasn't they might field a weaker side

ive not heard Dicksons name all game

Each of the coaching staff and players have been allocated 4 tickets each and they have to pay for these. - i dont think there too chuffed

why are people having a go at Gobern - a young kid who is not playing regularly - what do you expect - He did nothing wrong today when he came on - looked comfortable and composed on the ball and looks like he can score. Give the kid a break

Plenty of experts on here - which side of the dock is that from???

I also agree with this - when you get big away support and they take the majority of the Northam then they out sing the northam - this happened at Brighton this season.

i have just spoken to a mate of Mark Chamberlains - he does nt think he will go and he parents know he is better off at SFC but said that some of money being offered to AOC is ridiculous so you never know

whats even more impressive than Adam signing - is that we have a 4 page thread with not one negative comments - bring on the good times

lets see Cortese put his money where his mouth is and bid for Tevez

plan b appears to be; cross your fingers and hope for the best; like your style Adkins - your worth every penny

Did you notice if there were any pictures of trains hanging on the walls

I doubt it - he never really got on with Pardew - Pardew never let him get on with anything in training always watching over he shoulder and interferring - he much prefers it with Adkins as he just lets him get on with things and doesnt interfere - plus his family settled in Hove

if you look on the bbc website it says Saints not for sale says Cortese butt agrees South China FC deal - i was very intrigued and excited until i clicked on it and realised it was a separate thread about Nicky Butt - Eyes are starting to play havoc on me

i thought Gobern did well looked strong and quick scored twice not sure why the first was ruled out. thought Dickson was great in defence but he cannot play midfield Harding was woeful when he came on. Butterfield did well with his distribution. Lallana and Hammond both did well. Couple of glimses of brilliance from Oxo but then drifted in and out like on Tues. Guly looks strong but his touch and shot woeful. Bart OK. Fonte normal self. jaidi very suspect again when he has the ball. Thought Cheltenham support was excellent

i heard he stopped posting after he found a horses head in the bottom of his bed

this is snow joke

i never heard viva lallana last night - did anyone give it a go

I definately agree this is the right song but why not change viva to Adam and instead sing Adam Lallana -sounds much better and then we can claim it as original;)

nice one
