Dig Dig Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 Sounds good. Strong, composed, good positioning, not jonno quick but who is and good on the ball. sounds like we might have pulled off a good signing here. Why, just because it says so in some pixels on the internet? You need to get out in the real world son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 Get Tiger down to St Mary's, then I'll believe you. IF only you had attended the TSW Forum match and paid Scudamore for one of the legendary Match Day programmes you would have seen the full photographic evidence as he signed the NDA for Mark Fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 In the middle of a desert on his last trip down. The legend still managed to find a fiteh with a great grip and awesome backswing... I know you'll all be shocked to know he asked her to hold his club and give it a go. Isn't that what got him into trouble (and had to give away half of his stuff) last time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 Isn't that what got him into trouble (and had to give away half of his stuff) last time? Yeah, and this was straight after the "I won't do it again" confessions. He did, and I made 1500 quid out of the pic from Getty Images. All the press crew missed it. As for today, he was with these two hotties from IMG Elephants and Spots. Anyways. Back on topic, Michael Hoey (Irish golfer) DOES know who Saints are as his Cousin is engaged to an ex Academy lad who is part of our massive and we had a good long chat about why SRL actually SHOULD be playing for England in the old Sheringham role. Off to bed time 4:30am start think more likely we will get confirmation of Messi signing than a point at Chelsea tonight. Keep warm tonight SMS stalkers will await your updates in the morning with keen interest and then go find a Norwegian golfer to get a Norway Saint style feedback...

Guan 2.0 Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 I think he travels with the first team. Even if it was complete right now I would not be surprised to see it formally announced by the club tomorrow - just easier for everyone and if we were to lose tonight it would be a welcome shift in distraction. Exactly. You can imagine "Nigel Adkins has moved quickly to strengthen his defense following the narrow defeat to chelsea last night..... experienced international.... hard work behind the scenes.... move up the league... yadda yadda yadda".

If we have so little faith in Atkins as a manger that we let a scouting team pick which players we sign, why don't we go the whole hog and let them pick the team? Nigel is one of very few managers who has overseen a Saints home league victory against Man Utd, and yet the club are making it crystal clear that he is completely ignored when it comes to bringing players in. The writing must be on the wall for Nigel. Perhaps it would be better if he resigned now and reclaimed what little self-respect this club might let him walk away with.
