    St. Retford - you use phrases such as ''seemed to know' this, 'suggests that', and 'in my experience' whilst feeling comfortable in taking the pi$$ out of Bermondsey for what exactly - saying something you disagree with?
    This site has far too many posters who can't debate without getting all precious and snotty when someone argues a point they disagree with. Why don't the echo upgrade this site to allow thumbs up and thumbs down like nearly every other media source with a comments section?
    For christ's sake, it was meant to be a flippant remark to be taken in a light-hearted spirit. This isn't the Oxford Union debating society - it's a mongboard where people come to talk about football. It's meant to be fun. Think of it as being like a pub where people can take the p1ss out of other posters without it being the end of the world. Peanut?
    Actually I agree with three halves and five trophies. Your acunt!
    I am!
    You going to Wigan?
    You bet.

    A question: if you could only win one of the next two games, which would it be?

    I know that Wigan is technically a six-pointer but, by christ, wouldn't it be sweeter to destroy the Mancs?"

Forren: I didn't speak to Adkins over Saints move

VEGARD FORREN VEGARD FORREN

VEGARD Forren admits he never spoke to Nigel Adkins about joining Saints.

The Norwegian international centre half was officially unveiled as a Saints player just hours after Adkins was sacked on Friday, January 18.

But negotiations to sign the player had been ongoing for days, with Forren in the crowd at Stamford Bridge when Saints drew with Chelsea two days earlier.

"I never spoke to Nigel," said Forren.

"I knew that there was a change and that the new manager wanted me here.

“For me it was never a problem, I was happy to be here and have an opportunity to play for Southampton."

The Premier League is very popular in Norway but Forren is not worried about upsetting people back home if Saints pull off an upset at Old Trafford tomorrow.

"All of my friends and family in Norway are happy for me to be in the Premier League, everyone loves the Premier League in Norway," he said.

"Of course I have some friends who are United fans but if I do well and we get the three points they will be okay."

With Jose Fonte still missing through injury and Forren settled into the Saints squad following a training trip to Barcelona the 24-year-old looks set to make his debut against United.
