Adkins: I'm not worried about the sack (From Daily Echo)

One big difference with the Prem is how much more “news” there seems to be.

Raffa “the destroyer of clubs” Benitez has been out of work for two years, still it keeps his name in the media.

As for Redknap There is more chance of Steve Claridge signing as our new centre half!

At this moment in the season Arsenal were way better than us. We have to improve and we will. NA knows what he is doing. I still believe we will get to the top half of the table.
Nothing humiliating being in the Premiership after only 2 years ago being in League 1

Tomorrow is key for Adkin's future. I don't like saying that but we know Cortese will push him out if results don't go our way. I still feel NA can achieve success with our squad, I just don't think all the players have completely 'clicked' yet. They've had a good week of training, so let's hope that shows on the pitch tomorrow! COYR!

No real Saint who shared the journey of the last two seasons would even consider dumping Nigel without at least a season long trial. We've bought new players who only now are meeting each other and beginning to train together. They need to adapt to a new club, new team mates, the Premier league and in some cases the UK. Only a fool thinks that happens over night.

The team that took the two Manchester's close was the team assembled in Div1 and the Chamionship. It can only get better.

Thanks for everything to date Nige, but as previously stated, I firmly believe that you'll be gone within a month. In an ideal world it would be great for him to cut his teeth in the PL, but his tactical naivety and NC's desire to stabilise in this division simply won't allow it.

I certainly don't know what NC will do. Why do you think you do?

Brighton Fan,it is always going to be difficult being promoted to the Premiership,get this first season out of the way without relegation and thing will start to look up.Like you, we have had a couple of great seasons,and Nigel has done a great job keep the faith.Sometimes i am glad our promotion bid petered out because we were not ready and its nice to be still winning games.Good luck with the rest of the season.

A paper prints some crap and other papers try to make a meal out of an obvious non story! With NA Saints have attacking football. Back to back promotions and ahead of schedule! We have played four games with three being in the top six, and two of the bigger of those three nearly being beaten, and both scoring two goals and out playing them in periods! We have new signings who have hardly be here five mintues yet it easy to see what quality siginings they are. NA will have Southampton F.C. up the league soon and people who know nothing about football and Saints can have their moment dining on our current league position, but will soon be choking on it! NA is the best young manager there is now, and the only parting of the ways later will possibly be when England call.

Couldn't agree more, lets all stay on the bus. Mind you we were row F at the Etihad, Row 1 right next to the corner flag at the emirates and could only get the lower bullens for Goodison, I,ve heard the view is like looking through a letter box! Hopefully my ticket allocations will improve with the results!!

I'm in the lower bullens at Goodison too. It'll be a rubbish view but it's only about 30 quid which is a BARGAIN.

And not one true Saints fan would ever want Harry Rednapp back as our manager -ever-.

Adkins is our King.

Long live the king.

I cannot for one minute, see a well run club like Saints sacking one of the best young managers around at present on the back of a handful of early results against some of the best teams in the country. The Premier league is a massive step up from the Championship with a steep learning curve to deal with. I fully expect results to improve for you and if Saints finish above 6th bottom in the first season back in the big time then you have had a great season! Good luck to Saints and Adkins and can the Echo stop writing such drivel! Lets hope we all meet again next year.............in the Premiership that is!

I've never been to Goodison. Apparently it has 'character' which, in my experience, means it'll be old and knackered.

Still, I think it'll be a big deal for Nigel and Rickie to be trotting out on Merseyside so it'll be nice to be there.

Which team do you think is the more likely to succeed:

a) A team with the fans unified behind the players and management who turn up and cheer, sing and back the club with joy, passion and humour.

b) A team with fans who moan like old women on the internet and then turn up and complain about the shortcomings of the manager and players.

I'd be interested to know your thoughts.

Can't argue with that, Retford. Having her strutting up and down behind the right goal on Saturday could distract a few Villa players.

Call me fickle, but I say, 'sack Seedhouse - bring in Minogue!'

So Fox's inability to deal with wingers i.e. constantly letting them run down the wing effortlessly dragging CB's out of position, is not his fault. What games do you watch?

Huff as loadly as you like, the 2 previous promotions wont keep us in the premier league and its as simple as that.

It's the job of those from down the road to try and stir things up. If you really are a Saints fan then you are truely an embarrassment to the rest of us.

WOW

Seedhouse, you are an @rse!

The problem is Walter, these regulars are just Saints fans and not football fans also. I doubt any of them have played football before.

Which team do you think is the more likely to succeed:

a) A team with the fans unified behind the players and management who turn up and cheer, sing and back the club with joy, passion and humour.

b) A team with fans who moan like old women on the internet and then turn up and complain about the shortcomings of the manager and players.

I'd be interested to know your thoughts.

I would consider myself a regular Saints fan.
I live in Oz and follow my local team Perth Glory as well.
I played football to quite a reasonable level as well.
So you don’t represent me fella.

I’ll grant you that Seed can be an @rse, but he’s our @rse and we love him for that.

Of all the @rses in the world, if there's one @rse who, above all other @rses (especially wealthy @rses) I'm happy to call 'our @rse', it's Seedhouse the unrepentent @rse.

I'd rather we could have Kylie's tbh, but I suppose Seedhouse will do.

Can't argue with that, Retford. Having her strutting up and down behind the right goal on Saturday could distract a few Villa players.

Call me fickle, but I say, 'sack Seedhouse - bring in Minogue!'

Seedhouse just isn't up to the arse standards demanded by the Premiership. He was good in the Championship and excellent in League One, but we need to bring in Kylie before it's too late. We can't be going to places like Chelsea thinking Seedhouse will be an adequate arse for the occasion - they'll murder us.

I think we need to compare ourselves with the @rses that other prem teams have.

Since Manure sacked Posh Spice, they've been stuck with Coleen. Can't see an @rse like that winning the prem.

Chelsea had Cheryl Cole, and still have Nigella Lawson (apparently). My money's on a top 3 finish.

Arse-en-al have, well, Arse-ne Weng-arse - nuff sed!

Then there's Wet Spam - They have Sam!

We'll struggle a bit with Seedy but Kylie should see some 'point-raising' performances.

Not wishing to defend Fox too much but from what I could make out (I wasn't there, didn't watch the highlights and only saw it on a stuttering live link), none of Arsenal's goals were Fox's fault, were they?

Huff as loadly as you like, the 2 previous promotions wont keep us in the premier league and its as simple as that.

Well I certainly vote or A, but what do I know I only ever played Pub team / sunday league football. I never pitted my lack of footballing skills in the top leagues like "Southampton Legend" and "Walter K" obviously have, I bow to their excelllence.... Even so they have no idea how to support a team.

No, I didn't say that, please re-read what I said. I asked which goal he was responsible for at Arsenal. It was a simple question in response to your phrase, '... knowing Fox is costing us points ON A WEEKLY BASIS ....' I have the impression that he didn't cost us at all last weekend, whilst others did. Thus, if I'm right, 'WEEKLY BASIS' must be wrong.

13/1 today. I'm not in for quite as much as you but enough to hurt. I wish Betfair had an "Adkins to go market": I'd be laying him like mad. A guy like NC with a five year plan will have the sense to watch three games against three of the best teams in the world with the right perspective.

13/1 today. I'm not in for quite as much as you but enough to hurt. I wish Betfair had an "Adkins to go market": I'd be laying him like mad. A guy like NC with a five year plan will have the sense to watch three games against three of the best teams in the world with the right perspective.

Go on then, put your money where your mouth is, if you are brave (or foolhardy) enough.

When you do your pet flatfish do you wear gloves for extra grip or do it bare handed for the extra thrill?

Nowhere near as exciting as Division One at the moment, would rather be down there than being miserable in the Premier, what do you think?

Not one true Saints fan wants Adkins to go. Even if we got relegated (which we will not - I assure you) I'd still want him to remain our manager.

And not one true Saints fan would ever want Harry Rednapp back as our manager -ever-.

It's really as simple as this.

Adkins is our King.

Long live the king.

as much as that sentiment is admirable... I could not see it happening if we do drop back a division.... Looking at the squads in the Prem and our recent spending, I think he would be expected to keep us up this season.... I think we will stay up and I am still predicting a finish of 14th.

I'm all for sticking with Nigel, however, should he get the boot, Jose Mourinho has just had a very interesting interview saying his next move is definitely to England and he wouldn't rule out any clubs saying he could go anywhere.

Interesting eh?! What a statement that would be!!

On the other hand, I firmly believe we currently have the best up and coming English manager in Adkins and hope he's able to at least see out his contract.

3-1 Saints today! COYR!

Couldn't agree more. Premiership is boring. Daring to take it one step further, some of the local level football around this area is far more interesting.

Firstly it is because of the like's of the daily stirr that I have not brought a paper since 1994.
Secondly even if we were relegated NA would still have another season to get us promoted to be within the 5 year plan and I for one enjoyed last season being able to get tickets and winning most games

I was at the Arsenal game and didn't see it as a humiliation. I will also go to Everton and all the others.
At this moment in the season Arsenal were way better than us. We have to improve and we will. NA knows what he is doing. I still believe we will get to the top half of the table.
Nothing humiliating being in the Premiership after only 2 years ago being in League 1

So was I and we weren't even on the same pitch, fair enough Arsenal were class but we were on the back foot from the kick off, basically standing off them and letting their midfield and attack dictate everything for the entire first half, and if it wasn't for their Champions League action this week, meaning they took their foot off the gas for the second half, they could have easily hit double figures, the only thing we could be grateful for is other clubs would have started giving it the old ole' ole' bs we need to toughen up and stop being such a nice team to play, the main difference this season is the big clubs know all the tricks about getting penalties and free kicks and how to close a game off when they're ahead.

Adkins has made poor decisions recently and has cost us points, there is no loyalty in football, if one day liverpool come calling im sure he'd be gone.

Felt abit sick watching Buttner go on a wonder run to score aswell knowing Fox is costing us points on a weekly basis with his shocking defending and constant long balls.

Rant over, 3 points tomorrow! COYR!!!!!
