So did we. So did everybody.

Thanks for clearing up what technical means Simon. A few good games and Osman is now Messi? For 9 1/2 of his 10 years, the fickle fans amongst us did nothing but slate the lad, with himself and Hibbert everybodies favourite scapegoat. He gets a call up, and a little spotlight, and suddenly the world realises he's actually a decent player, and a quick mind change is upon us. I think it's important that the fans don't 'overcompensate', and put him on too high a pedestal, as the first bad run and he'll have a long way to fall in the minds of those oh so fickle. My assessment of him is that he is professionally flexible, and plays where he is asked without question. He is a scorer of great goals, but not a great goal scorer, and has as many quiet games as he does exciting games. He's got great ball control, and is certainly an intelligent footballer, but he doesn't stand out for me as our best technical player. I'm still of the opinion that Fellaini and Pienaar have more to offer, and Mirallas looks like he has a bit about him too. The Larissa goal was a wonderful team goal, and possibly one of the best team goals we've had the pleasure of, but it's hard to say which Ossie goal is the best, as said, he scores great goals. A few more would be nice though Leon, if you would be so kind.

It's just a database campaign fishing for emails and info.

Why would anybody want Wigan to be relegated? They are a North West side, who despite being a Rugby town, have fought their way to the Premier League without a pot to piss in, just like us. They play remarkably good football for a team struggling, and are probably the best value ticket in the division for fans. I doubt very much if the lads who go to away games would want them to go down and Portsmouth to come up.

Newcastle are a class side when firing Matt. A bad run of form doesn't turn a great team into a poor one. They were also part of the next nine matches. If they keep selling their players they will weaken, but I still rate them as one of the big teams in the division, and certainly from a Saints perspective. I don't remember seeing the word 'tough' anywhere in my post though ha ha.

It's the OCD posting on here mate. Folk re-open old threads instead of starting new ones. Perfect example of why it's irritating.

Looking at some match stats:

I thought he was over to play in goal?

Not a popular decision with the fans http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?42459-Nigel-Adkins-Sacked

Maybe we can loan you for 6 moths to see how you get on.

Their next 9 games are a nightmare. They have to play Some very big teams, mixed with the current 3 relegation candidates. I really don't see them staying up. If they go down, what better man than Adkins ? Crazy to bring a foreign manager in at the business end of the season. Everton United Wigan Man City Newcastle QPR Liverpool Chelsea Reading

I don't suppose you can play a bit ?

Now, if it had it's own thread you'd have seen it.

That one has gone straight over my head unfortunately.

We only debated it a few days ago.

I'm not sure how either are missed, as neither progressed here.

I knew you would say that ha ha. For me, until we are 12 points clear everybody is a threat.

I'm an admirer of Coleman, and he's probably the most underated player we have. He has exceptional ball skills when in the mood, and I'd like to see him get better praise from our fans. He is a defender when said and done, so should be compared to defenders, as opposed to midfielders. I personally think Osman has good control, but I'd be reluctant to say he is our most technical. For me, Fellaini has the best all round game, with Pienaar in the running.

Villa doing us a favour. Beating W Brom 2-0.

No real evidence to support it that I can see. http://www.cyclingtips.com.au/2010/10/exercise-is-good-for-the-heart%E2%80%A6-but-is-there-a-limit/ http://www.adultbicycling.com/component/content/article/9-bicycling-basics/37-health-benefits-of-cycling-ii.html

Ha ha, always going to happen. They should all have a snowball fight then settle.

Nay lad. I fell foal.

The guy is a big lad looking at previous pictures, but here you can see a slight difference in weight.

That's the difference between 'doesn't look' and 'isn't'.
