Fulham - a team that can't win at Saints (From Daily Echo)

SaintMax wrote:
Cos Martin Jol is an avid Echo reader isnt he? Of course a local rag is going to be positive about its home side, thats hardly going to motivate the away team more.
They will know the stats, and Jol will use the facts to motivate anyway.
Good positive piece Echo, and I'm confident after we bed ourselves into the game we will command it and get what we need.

It will be interesting to see how many fans Fulham take with them - they've always struck me as one of those teams for people who live in affluent West London and like to go to football to show how 'authentic' they are, but wouldn't dream of leaving the delis on the Kings Road if their team were playing away.

Maybe this is why their away record is so rubbish?”


Does anyone know if they still have a neutral end at their ground I always found this rather strange on previous visits to the cottage. Can't remember how many they have brought down to SMS in the past.

It's meant to be a thoroughly bloody nice place to go and watch football. Mainly because it's full of Hugh Grant and Lily Allen and their mates and the pies at half time come from Harrods. O, and there's a giant statue of Michael Jackson there.

Thinking about it, it sounds amazing. I'm there.

In which case why don't we lure them into a false sense of security and meet and greet their celeb fans with ours?
We could have Craig David and Scott Mills dishing out the pies, and Fred Dinage making the sarnies.. Oh, I forgot, he is a skunt.

We don't have to restrict our choice to someone actually from the area (Fulham didn't, which is why it's such genius).

We should try and out-random them by going for someone like Chad Kroeger from Nickelback or Alf Fisher from Home & Away. It would blow their minds.

oh yes i forgot about that statue!
never could understand why al fayed put that there.

do skunts go into hibernation in the winter?
they start off in the summer all loud and seem to be everywhere, but then as summer turns to autumn there seems to be fewer and fewer of them around getting quieter and quieter. infact it looks as though its only the young and immature of the species that do not go into hibernation.

the whole of nickelback have infact been in sms so they must be fans! as have bon jovi (twice). its a little known fact that bon jovi wrote livin on a prayer as a pi$$take of the skates, think about it the main bloke in the song worked at the docks and then unions been on strike (where have we heard that story before). his girlfriend works for her man (because he wont), oh and they have got each other and thats enough for love! inbreeding joke surley.

Nickelback have been in St Mary's? When the F*** did this happen? Has it been properly sterilised since? They are literally the worst band in the history of recorded sound.

You are no way a saints supporter, no way. You have to be a Pompey supporter, no supporter could possibly be as negative as you.

In his scrapbook of my quotes Velleity may also turn up my view that NA could well become the most successful manager Saints have ever had but in my opinion until he finds his feet in the PL he needs support from a coach with PL experience.
The Geordies seem to agree with my view of AP, giving him an 8 year contract, perhaps NC will do the same for NA, for all the Saints fans to see, thus backing him to the hilt and showing his tremendous confidence in NA,during these difficult times ---- but I wouldn't bet on it.

Obviously, there's a few who think Fox and Guly are to blame for everything. It's not clear, however, whether they think Fox is to blame for Guly or vice versa. I blame Fox and Guly for this ambiguity. PS I have just ordered a 'Fox 'n Guly' shirt.

I'm also not keen on notorious 80s rapist The Fox. Anyone remember him? For about three months he was the bogey man. I refused to camp in the garden for fear he's 'get' me. Thinking about it, he's probably out now. :(

Of course no one will know how Saints would have done had AP not been sacked or how much better they may have done, if they had strengthened last January, they may have even won the Championship last season instead of falling away near the end.

Actually, I blame Fox for the state of Britain today. Do you remember when she got on a tank and drove through the picket lines of Wapping so that Rupert Murdoch could bust a strike and get The Sun out on time? Well that, to me, was when ordinary people lost a voice in this country and we've been taking it up the arse from management ever since.

I'm also not keen on notorious 80s rapist The Fox. Anyone remember him? For about three months he was the bogey man. I refused to camp in the garden for fear he's 'get' me. Thinking about it, he's probably out now. :(

You're right!

And doesn't Murdoch own Fox News?

And there was that Desert Fox Nazi blighter.

And I read someone's baby got badly bitten by a Fox.

And that foxy in the Beano was always up to no good.

The cunning swines.

And what about Guly? Not just a one-off I bet. For starters, I know for a fact that Hitler had one Guly.

He didn't and why not ? because if (and it may now be getting very close to when, in NC's mind) he sacks Nigel he would have to stump up 8 years of NA's contract instead of the 10 months left on his present one. Which Club, Magpies or Saints has shown most confidence in their manager? In my book if you want loyalty you have to first show it.

totally agree!

second option is to revert to 4-4-2
sometimes think Adkins is trying to adjust to the premier league a little too much. Don't get me wrong, I know he knows better than I or any of us, what he's doing; just sometimes think we should stick with what we used to destroy every team last year!

Thoughts?

I am big enough to admit that I got it wrong about the length of NA's contract.
On the day the new contract was announced I must have been reading something much more important in the Beano or was it the Dandy?
It seems as if NC will have to cough up more when he sacks NA, I'm really pleased about that for Nigel's sake.
Maybe that's why weasel NC has sacked the programme sellers, the money he's saved can go towards Nigel's payoff.
Anyone who sacks people who have worked 25 years for a company, by text with no notice, is a scumbag.
