Adkins hails Saints win
5:56pm Saturday 17th November 2012 in Saints News
By Adam Leitch, Chief Sports Writer
Nigel Adkins
Nigel Adkins said the hard work had paid off after Saints grabbed a precious three points at QPR.
Rickie Lambert, Jason Puncheon and an Anton Ferdinand own goal earned Saints their first away win back in the Premier League as they defeated QPR 3-1 at Loftus Road.
The win lifted the pressure off of Adkins and gives the players a massive shot in confidence ahead of back-to-back home matches against Newcastle and Norwich.
“We had a good defensive shape about ourselves and we know we can score goals – we scored another three away from home – and there’s a confidence growing about us all the time amongst the players that we’ve got,” said Adkins.
“When you look at how the players have performed and how they perform every day in training they are having a right good go.
“Look at the supporters, they are having a right good go.
“At Southampton everyone is together as one, everyone is working hard.
“We know we’re in a situation at the wrong end of the table but we’ve come a long way in a short space of time.”

well done Nigel!! Well done lads!!
onwards & upwards!!!
Watched the whole game and thought we played awesome. You can say what you want about the opposition but truth is our team were competing way higher than the opposition and if you change the team, very few could do what we did today!!
Brilliant stuff, reminded me of the way we played last year; just faster!

watched it and thought we were excellent with punch and cork really strong
i also thought yoshida looked the best i have seen him this season and clyne and shaw
if we could get 4 points from those next two home games we will be right in the mix and have a real platform
only downer is i just can't decide on the keeper situation. last 2 games have been our joint best defensive performances along with villa but gazza was well protected by much improved defensive performance
he just didnt look confident today

Let's stick with this starting 11 in future if we can and formation, and hopefully we have learned as a team and management from previous mistakes.
Adkins, on this showing has the dressing room support and long may it continue, would be lovely to get something against Newcastle. Bill your bet looks safe fella!

72 year old nigel adkins, has parted company with saints. after twenty odd years of wonderful success.and he leaves behind a fantastic legacy of a type of football called "the southampon way" I just hope I'm still around to see it mind.

Your bets looking safe and I have to give credit to Adkins. He didn't shrink after the Albion defeat and took everything in his stride, has kept positive and dressing room on side.
I would give him time and a chance to improve squad in January.......... And £50 to the saints trust!;D

r let us know why it is+ NC`s fault that we didnt we by more goals, this due to the fact that no one at sfc has got prem experience (apart from the ones you have been told about but said werent good enough). oh and have you worked out the answer to the question i put to you the other day yet? you know the coach at sfc with prem experience jd?
pleased that cork is back and seems to have been a catalyst for the team.
come on fishys where are you tonight?

Sparky is at home, has far greater experience than Nigel and has the public backing of his Chairman.
QPR to win by at least 2 clear goals!
A collection wll be taken up at half time in the Saints section of the ground to help pay Solent Interiors' long overdue account.

I also can't imagine having a run down sh1te hole for a ground and pathetic attendances or having to beg steal and borrow other cubs players each month.

I also can't imagine losing at home to Brentford in front of only 11,000 and starting to leave with 20 minutes left to play and then 7,000 people booing your own team which technically speaking isn't really yours.
That must be a tad embarrassing even for fish fiddling mongs”
I also can't imagine having a manager who couldn't get away fast enough after getting booed by his own supporters the night before and also having a ground that when spelt backwards says nottarf krap which is kind of apt I suppose.
Even so that must be a tad embarrassing even for inbred wannabe John Westwwod w@nkers who need a good Jimmy Saville seeing to.
I also can't imagine trying to buy your own club with less than 2,000 of the bestest ever greatest most bestest and greatest fans ever TM when most have only pledged the initial £100 but have no intentions of actually paying £1000 as the social won't give it to them.
That must be a tad embarrassing even for the prepubescent fish f@cking tw@ts that post utter sh1te on another teams site because they are such sad little westwood wannabe w@nkers
I also can't imagine losing to the bottom side in league one which would now mean you would soon be bottom when ten points are deducted for cheating and generally being one of the most dishonest and despised football clubs in football.
That must be a tad embarrassing even for a load of plastic cockney inbred chavs, of whom some still post on another clubs site pretending to be fans of that club thinking they are clever but really are showing what a sad bunch of mongs they really are.”
I also can't imagine being a sad fish fiddling pr1ck wanting to spend so much time spewing out the same old boring and childish load sh1te about a bigger and richer club with a bright future rather than wallowing in the demise and slow death of your own p1ss poor little club on your own site.
That must be a tad embarrassing.
I also can't imagine losing at home yet again and six games in a row in league one when your superior neighbours have just given QPR a footballing lesson and now picked up 4 points from 6 which is a bit better than 0 points from 18.
That must be a tad embarrassing which would explain why the spineless fish worrying skunts aren't playing tonight and are all indoors with their westwood wannabe jim- jams on but not blowing their plastic trumpets.......sssh, sssh
westwood jim fecking jams hahahahahah !!!

WE ARE THE MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON.
We've been to palace - watford - charlton etc last few seasons and today QPR - we dominate in the streets before and after the game and on the Terraces - there is only one club in these games
We owned the upper and lower terraces today and we were the top fans today - no issue !!
THE SAINTS GO MARCHING ON-ON-ON !!
After the game the chanting continued in the streets . WE ARE NUMBER ONE IN THE SOUTH !!
liverpool are running scared and have sold us under allocation - but next game after that AWAY we will be taking it to the opposition is fulham
IF YOU CAN GET A TICKET - BE THERE AND WIN AWAY !!
WE AIM TO F*CKING SMASH THEM.
RED ARMY. FIGHT AND WIN.
p.s confidence is high - Nigel has got a more settled winning side and we are gonna give it everything to WIN our next two home games.
WINNING IS EVERYTHING.
NO FEAR NO SURRENDER.
UP THE PREMIER LEAGUE WE MUST GO.

These numpties need to go and support their team while they have one.

Okay,carry out this procedure.Only do the second part if you have to because you will lose your recordings.
1. Power the box off at the mains power supply.
3. Locate the backup button on the front/top of the box.
4. Press and hold in the Backup button, and while doing this switch the box back on at the mains supply.
5. Continue to hold the Backup button after you have powered on, you should see within 60 seconds 3 more lights come on the front of the box? At this stage you can release the Backup button.
6. If you have 4 lights lit, it means the box is going through the forced download procedure. Leave for 15 minutes then try to see if your Issue is resolved.
DONT DO THIS NEXT ONE UNLESS YOU REALLY HAVE TOO! YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF THE RECORDINGS ON YOUR BOX!
If that fails then the next step will be a front panel reset (This will reformat the hard drive losing all saved recordings):
1. Power the box off at the mains power supply.
2. Locate the left and right arrow buttons either side of the select button on the front/top of the box.
3. Press and hold both the left and right arrow buttons in together, and while holding power the box back on and continue to hold the buttons after the red light comes back on.
4. Continue to hold the buttons, you should see within 60 seconds, the blue/green circle light in the centre of the box light up a full circle.
5. Let go the buttons then press select button on the box twice.
6. You should see the blue/green circle light moving anti-clockwise and the record and play lights in the centre flashing on/off.
7. Once the lights go off, the box will have rebooted and you will now only have the red standby light lit on the box.
8. If you can now wait 2 minutes before switching the box back on from standby to see if the fault has resolved
hope this works. last time my box did this i had to change some of the resistors inside.
good luck!

I also can't imagine having a manager who couldn't get away fast enough after getting booed by his own supporters the night before and also having a ground that when spelt backwards says nottarf krap which is kind of apt I suppose.
Even so that must be a tad embarrassing even for inbred wannabe John Westwwod w@nkers who need a good Jimmy Saville seeing to.
I also can't imagine trying to buy your own club with less than 2,000 of the bestest ever greatest most bestest and greatest fans ever TM when most have only pledged the initial £100 but have no intentions of actually paying £1000 as the social won't give it to them.
That must be a tad embarrassing even for the prepubescent fish f@cking tw@ts that post utter sh1te on another teams site because they are such sad little westwood wannabe w@nkers
I also can't imagine losing to the bottom side in league one which would now mean you would soon be bottom when ten points are deducted for cheating and generally being one of the most dishonest and despised football clubs in football.
That must be a tad embarrassing even for a load of plastic cockney inbred chavs, of whom some still post on another clubs site pretending to be fans of that club thinking they are clever but really are showing what a sad bunch of mongs they really are.”
I also can't imagine being a sad fish fiddling pr1ck wanting to spend so much time spewing out the same old boring and childish load sh1te about a bigger and richer club with a bright future rather than wallowing in the demise and slow death of your own p1ss poor little club on your own site.
That must be a tad embarrassing.
I also can't imagine losing at home yet again and six games in a row in league one when your superior neighbours have just given QPR a footballing lesson and now picked up 4 points from 6 which is a bit better than 0 points from 18.
That must be a tad embarrassing which would explain why the spineless fish worrying skunts aren't playing tonight and are all indoors with their westwood wannabe jim- jams on but not blowing their plastic trumpets.......sssh, sssh

As with QPR, the fans were not supportive of Hughes. Saints supporters have remained right behind Adkins and the team, I believe this has made a huge difference for the team spirit and togetherness.
The majority of our fans are truly superb, it is at times like this I can see the benefit of giving real support. For the minority doom merchants, we are better off without you. If being a "happy clapper" means we have a togetherness that helps in bo small part to breed confidence within our manager and team, then I'm delighted to be a happy clapper!

On motd, punch looked heavily involved along with clyne. Asks the question does he need more motivation, playing against his old team even though on loan, or how or why was guly keeping him out of team?

If Gazza can learn from is errors, he can turn out to be the real deal.
Fox looks like he could be great as an impact player, but I tend to agree that he'll want away. Shaw has made the position his.

His partnership and understanding with Clyne (a fellow Londoner) has also helped him settle into a good rythym on that right side. He is surely now one of the first names on the team sheet which, when you think of the issues he's had at the club, is a remarkable turnaround and long may it continue!!

I went to the game with my family, had a chance meet up with REDARMY1.
(GREAT SAINTS SUPPORTER).
Had a great time watching the best Saints display since last November.
The football was pacy the boys were first into the tackle.(SPIDER and JACK CORK ) were immense.
I have been a big critic of Jason Puncheon. I make no apology for this,that said, his performance yesterday is the best I have ever seen from him.
I just hope it was not just to wind up Hughes, cos he let him go.
We want this effort every week.
Rickie was great again, battered and bruised for the cause.
Lallana had his best game.
Overall a real feel good performance.
On we go.

Yesterday's performance was solid. Yes the goal conceded was another sloppy one and you can still see the 'Work in Progress' sign up - but dominated the game for all bar 10 minutes in my opinion.
Corky was terrific again - and Punch has been playing terrific since the pre season - that is what I call good man management - picking a player up from such a deep low to getting the very best out of him week in week out - terrific.
But the best part of the day was the togetrherness shown by the crowd. What other team down the bottom of any league chants the name of their manager over and over again - made me feel proud to be associated with this great club. Togetherness in tough times dvelops a spine that can run through a club.
If the football is poor and no team spirit shown then that's when you get a restless crowd baiting for blood - but we have been served great football in recent years and all see where the improvements need to be made. Positive stuff always - proud of the team, proud of the manager, proud of the club and proud of the supporters

There is one thing about our win yesterday that I believe is a huge indicator to how our season may go. The fact that we conceded a goal early in the second half made me worry, however the team didn't. The way they passed the ball around and still controlled vast phases of the game and didn't panic tells me they are getting a mental toughness. The team shape and togetherness was so evident.
As with QPR, the fans were not supportive of Hughes. Saints supporters have remained right behind Adkins and the team, I believe this has made a huge difference for the team spirit and togetherness.
The majority of our fans are truly superb, it is at times like this I can see the benefit of giving real support. For the minority doom merchants, we are better off without you. If being a "happy clapper" means we have a togetherness that helps in bo small part to breed confidence within our manager and team, then I'm delighted to be a happy clapper!

Poopey v Donny = 1 quote. (One!)
More Poopey fans quoted on here than the newshite, no wonder they are a team in free fall with fans that would rather quote on a rivals website...

This releases Spider to move forward.
The players behind Cork see him moving to stop attacks and get time to form up.
This isn't a new tactic, teams have had a defensive midfielder for ever since football started. The only difference is that Spider doesn't fit the mould and Cork does.
This makes us look stronger defensively and will add to backbone of the team.
From now till the end of the season we the fans will see an improvement and not now be so desparate for a new CB in Jan. I still feel that another CB would be a good idea as long as he is better than what we already have.
The goalkeeper position is still open to debate, I saw Gazza playing for Gillingham and thought he was exactly what we wanted. Not so sure about some of his errors and he needs protection in front of him and a clean sheet for confidence. Two other keepers to call on and both experienced at a high level. Not a bad situation, and should with training lead to a good resolution.
Support the Saints......I know I do.

A goalkeeping error cost us two points last week when we should have had a clean sheet and if we were playing a better team yesterday you could see us conceding more goals with the current keeper. The defense is on edge all the time. He hasn't come for crosses and has also like yesterday been caught hopelessly out of position. we should have had another clean sheet yesterday. That was a really soft goal to give away and at a crucial time. Great how we pushed forward yesterday because I feared the worst after we conceded. I think 0-2 at half time was a defining time of the season. This was a our big chance to win away so when we conceded when we did I thought we would do well to get a draw. But they went on not to collapse but to dominate the game. Fortunately we were playing QPR who played with very little spirit.
Two wins and two clean sheets would have done wonders for confidence.
We have played three keepers in 12 games and we have had the incident with our Polish keeper on his home debut all very unsettling for the whole team.
I think we should bring Kelvin Davis back, can't think why he was ever dropped. He is short of match practice but he is consistent and brings stability to the rest of the team.
We play like no other team in the premier. Who else passes and moves as we did yesterday? It was great to watch. Plus we have shown we can dominate even the very big teams with this way of playing.
This is the Nigel Adkins way of playing so for that reason I am still a fan and think he deserves to stay. The way we can play reminds me of the way we played under Lawrie Mac.which were our most successful seasons. The thing is though it is very hard to maintain that movement for 90 minutes so we need a plan B and a solid defense.
Even with our bad start we are so nearly there.
Bring back Kelvin Davis

Ramirez gets better with every game, Luke shaw looks very comfortable and could save us a few mil come January.
But for me, Jack Cork is making the difference at the moment.
The defence seem to have a bit more confidence when Cork is on the pitch.
Great win yesterday.
I reckon we can beat Newcastle next week. They haven't won in 4 games and it's ours for the taking especially as Pardew comes back!
COYR!
We have also stopped playing Rodriguez with Lambert, and are starting with Shaw instead of Fox. Puncheon and Lallana have made a point of tracking back (See Puncheon's post match comments) and supporting the back 4.
Cork has been outstanding, and Schniederlin has done a good job sitting in front of the back four when needed and we have started shutting down the flanks (Big Dave must be pleased).
Gazzaniga was voted best keeper recently, not without good reason. He does make sily mistakes, but aprt from those, he looks good.
We saw the winds of change at Swansea (Those that watched more than the MOTD highlights) and were solid against QPR which fantastic forward play we all know the team is capable of. The future is bright!!!
Really looking forward to Newcastle. Could be a good time to play them.
Pardew should get a good reception though he should drop the TEBOURAH alias. The drastic drop in Newcastle's form has really happened since he started posting on here other day. This can not be a coincidence. Still keep posting until the weekend at least. Would love to see a 4-1 thrashing of Newcastle!!

3. Brian Clough. 2 league titles 2 European cups. All with provincial sides
4. Arsene Wenger. 3 league titles. 4 FA cups. transformed Arsenal into a great side to watch for neutrals. Built the side called the invincibles with the help of a Robert Pires dive.

One of the best football comments ever to Ferguson "Of course everyone thinks their wife is the prettiest" - referring to Fergies own side.
5. Stan Cullis. 3 league titles, 2 FA cups with players with very strange accents for which communication must have been almost impossible. Fluoride ingestion would not have helped.
6. Nigel Adkins. Took a provincial side to two consecutive promotions, and a paint pot trophy in front of fans who always turn on their manager and leave early for the exits. Respect - seriously. All this while having time to keep his sun tan fresh looking, being positive, meeting loads of strange farmer type fans at forums, then still being positive and fighting behind closed doors with the new Blofeld of English football.
7. Bill Shankly. 3 league titles, 2 FA cups UEFA cup
8. Howard Kendal. 2 league titles with a second city team
9. Kenny Dalglish. 4 league titles. Almost achieved titles with 3 clubs. Was bankrolled at Blackburn, and was given the best side in the country at Liverpool.
10. Don Revie. 2 league titles and many second places. Possibly the hardest ever team in the top flight. All of them together were able to overcome Graham Souness.
10. Bob Jackson. 2 league titles.
If Nige keep going, and gets into 17th place this season, he could probably move up ahead of stan Cullis.
Footnote. Brendan Rodgers doesnt count as he had the complete backing of his fans, and the beautiful football he has played at Swansea doesn't count as everyone expeccted to beat them and the opposition were psycholocially tricked into defeat. The saints are a much much bigger club, and can't get this effect and even though they have one of the best, bestest, and even bestier TM and poachiest academies in world football to rely on, we are talking kids here, and they are generally intimidated by the turn-coat fans, and the early exits.

Had a most enjoyable day yesterday at QPR and doesn't it just feel great to get home and actually look forward to MoTD? Doesn't it feel great to to wake up on Sunday morning after a win?
Yesterday's performance was solid. Yes the goal conceded was another sloppy one and you can still see the 'Work in Progress' sign up - but dominated the game for all bar 10 minutes in my opinion.
Corky was terrific again - and Punch has been playing terrific since the pre season - that is what I call good man management - picking a player up from such a deep low to getting the very best out of him week in week out - terrific.
But the best part of the day was the togetrherness shown by the crowd. What other team down the bottom of any league chants the name of their manager over and over again - made me feel proud to be associated with this great club. Togetherness in tough times dvelops a spine that can run through a club.
If the football is poor and no team spirit shown then that's when you get a restless crowd baiting for blood - but we have been served great football in recent years and all see where the improvements need to be made. Positive stuff always - proud of the team, proud of the manager, proud of the club and proud of the supporters
Let's now try and get some momentum - bring on the Magpies
Brilliant post from someone at the match. Wish I could have been there, too.

Why in the recent poll did Saints fans vote for Gazza over Kelvin Davis?
What has Kelvin done to be treated so shabbily?Yes he was in goal aganst the top teams we played at the beginning.Surely us fans expectedto lose against such teams
Ifwe had played any other team yesterday we would have got a draw or more likely lost the game.

the reason that saints fans supported NA when we lost a few games is that being a supporter means that you back your team. if we were playing poorly or looked like we couldnt win games then NA would not have been given the backing he was, look at qpr yesterday! saints fans know and understand what its like to struggle at the bottom of the league with poor managers playing poorly. we know that NA is far better than some of the dross we have had in charge over the years (branfoot!) saints fans also know that being a supporter means you are there to cheer the team on when things arent going great, and we know that this gives the manager and players a lift. this is why saints fans kept going to st marys when in L1 and why we kept going at the start of this season. other teams dont have such great support, look at poopey, only 11,792 were at notarf yesterday, and that includes away fans. i wonder how many left early and if the few that remained booed the team off, i would say their team but its not its made up of loaners, this is a trait they try to throw at us whilst claiming they would never do such a thing! yes they may have a core support but only 2000 odd have pledged! saints fans get behind their manager and players, poopey havent got a manager and cant appoint one, and they havent got many players, and cant buy any. any club can go and buy success but those that try get burnt unless they have big new stadiums and 40k plus fans in it! i am proud of the fact that saints produce their own players through the academy (we dont poach players, just cause they dont want to play for your lot!) and am proud that we have some players we had in L1 playing for us in the prem. i am also proud that we have a chairman who can accept apologies from players, who speak out against them and the club, and allow that player back into the fold. i will admit i thought that we should have got rid of punch, but am pleased that i was wrong and since he started playing again i gave him my full support, and didnt he play well yesterday, but thats what being a fan is all about.
NA, at heart, has good intentions, he wants the team to play attractive football, nice. But this overplaying in the final third just doesn't work in the Premiership. Also the GK situation & not sorting out the defense in the summer is not on.
Weren't we one of the biggest spenders this summer? Shouldn't the fans expect better? If I go out for a meal & find a fly in my soup, I'm not going to sit there with a painted on smile. Or should I, so I can be considered a true customer?

The point is, we all have the right to express our views and there are probably as many differing ones on here as there are people posting and I bet none of us agree 100% with everything Nigel (or, for that matter, NC) does.
However, as Horses101 says, to 'support' your team means just that.
If you have a fly in your soup at a restaurant, you can choose never to go back. If you don't like something at SFC, you can choose never to support Saints again; I bet my bottom dollar though, that no true supporter (not even a skunt) would ever stop supporting their team because they disagreed with something the manager has done.
So, all most of us are saying is, while expressing your views, don't let that stop you from getting behind your team - and THAT includes supporting the manager.

I agree, we should support the players, who to me are giving their all, but I draw the line at singing pro NA stuff. I think that going after him with anti NA chants would be counterproductive.
I want NA to turn it around, for the club & himself, as he comes across as a thourghly nice chap. But in my job, if I don't deliver, I'm out. Why should it be any different for Nigel?
The fly in the soup, not the best analogy. But my point is, just because he got us back to back promotion, , why can't I point out his failings. It doesn't stop me from wanting him & the club to succeed.

On motd, punch looked heavily involved along with clyne. Asks the question does he need more motivation, playing against his old team even though on loan, or how or why was guly keeping him out of team?
Lambert has to start every game and starting 11 yesterday is probably our best, I haven't given up on hoiveld. New goalie, left back, and centre half a must in january. Definate outs are fox, boruc and sdr.
If Gazza can learn from is errors, he can turn out to be the real deal.
Fox looks like he could be great as an impact player, but I tend to agree that he'll want away. Shaw has made the position his.
Some good solid business in January, and I think we'll be ok.
Defence is a worry and such a vital area of the team. I would shift out kelvin and boruc for a keeper who can be number 1 but keep gaza more involved than what Bart was.
Fox has to go for similar reasons, we need some one there who will take pressure off of shaw, but give shaw game time too.
An experienced premier league centre half is a must, even if we have to break the signing fee record again!

I'm not saying for Adkins not to give the younger players their starts. But Nigel tried the other two, so Gazza can't take that as the gaffer thinks I'm the no1 this season. It comes across as, bugger! The other two aren't that good, let's try Gazza.
Gazza deserves to get his start with a settled & reliable back four in front of him and some cup & reserve starts under his belt. Having your failings directed on Match of the Day isn't going to help the lady's confidence.

Had a most enjoyable day yesterday at QPR and doesn't it just feel great to get home and actually look forward to MoTD? Doesn't it feel great to to wake up on Sunday morning after a win?
Yesterday's performance was solid. Yes the goal conceded was another sloppy one and you can still see the 'Work in Progress' sign up - but dominated the game for all bar 10 minutes in my opinion.
Corky was terrific again - and Punch has been playing terrific since the pre season - that is what I call good man management - picking a player up from such a deep low to getting the very best out of him week in week out - terrific.
But the best part of the day was the togetrherness shown by the crowd. What other team down the bottom of any league chants the name of their manager over and over again - made me feel proud to be associated with this great club. Togetherness in tough times dvelops a spine that can run through a club.
If the football is poor and no team spirit shown then that's when you get a restless crowd baiting for blood - but we have been served great football in recent years and all see where the improvements need to be made. Positive stuff always - proud of the team, proud of the manager, proud of the club and proud of the supporters
Let's now try and get some momentum - bring on the Magpies
Brilliant post from someone at the match. Wish I could have been there, too.

NA, at heart, has good intentions, he wants the team to play attractive football, nice. But this overplaying in the final third just doesn't work in the Premiership. Also the GK situation & not sorting out the defense in the summer is not on.
Weren't we one of the biggest spenders this summer? Shouldn't the fans expect better? If I go out for a meal & find a fly in my soup, I'm not going to sit there with a painted on smile. Or should I, so I can be considered a true customer?

Adkins has made mistakes granted, If he goes (and I have a wager he will) who replaces him? I know that's not an excuse to keep him, but I was impressed with his interview after the baggies away defeat and it does appear he has the dressing room. I think as long as he has the backing of players, it becomes evident when lost, he should be able to continue.

Chaps, if Southampton wasn't your team, and you had a cold hard look at the money spent, the Gk situation, defense, the tactic of lots of meaningless short little passes in the final third and Rickie twice being left on the bench, wouldn't your appraisal be a little on the negative side.
Well done for supporting Adkins, but it's a little embarrassing when fans of other clubs ask, with all that money spent why didn't he sort out the back & why do the players overplay it in the final third and why are the fans constantly singing his name, like he's Brian Clough.

Just thinking about the best post war managers in England.
1. Bob Paisley - 3 European Cups, 6 titles in 9 years - nuff said
2. Alex Ferguson - 12 titles, 2 European Cups. Helped with all the sky money and retention of home gate receipts
3. Brian Clough. 2 league titles 2 European cups. All with provincial sides
4. Arsene Wenger. 3 league titles. 4 FA cups. transformed Arsenal into a great side to watch for neutrals. Built the side called the invincibles with the help of a Robert Pires dive. Given the one of the best ever English defences as a base, and maybe wasted it with mainly foreign players who weren't loyal to the club. One of the best football comments ever to Ferguson "Of course everyone thinks their wife is the prettiest" - referring to Fergies own side.
5. Stan Cullis. 3 league titles, 2 FA cups with players with very strange accents for which communication must have been almost impossible. Fluoride ingestion would not have helped.
6. Nigel Adkins. Took a provincial side to two consecutive promotions, and a paint pot trophy in front of fans who always turn on their manager and leave early for the exits. Respect - seriously. All this while having time to keep his sun tan fresh looking, being positive, meeting loads of strange farmer type fans at forums, then still being positive and fighting behind closed doors with the new Blofeld of English football.
7. Bill Shankly. 3 league titles, 2 FA cups UEFA cup
8. Howard Kendal. 2 league titles with a second city team
9. Kenny Dalglish. 4 league titles. Almost achieved titles with 3 clubs. Was bankrolled at Blackburn, and was given the best side in the country at Liverpool.
10. Don Revie. 2 league titles and many second places. Possibly the hardest ever team in the top flight. All of them together were able to overcome Graham Souness.
10. Bob Jackson. 2 league titles.
If Nige keep going, and gets into 17th place this season, he could probably move up ahead of stan Cullis.
Footnote. Brendan Rodgers doesnt count as he had the complete backing of his fans, and the beautiful football he has played at Swansea doesn't count as everyone expeccted to beat them and the opposition were psycholocially tricked into defeat. The saints are a much much bigger club, and can't get this effect and even though they have one of the best, bestest, and even bestier TM and poachiest academies in world football to rely on, we are talking kids here, and they are generally intimidated by the turn-coat fans, and the early exits.
You are obviously embarrassed by the disgraceful lack of loyalty displayed by your plastic fans, don't dare to come on to the site of a real team with real fans, and spout your carp. Talk in percentages or numbers, allow for the fact that when leaving a REAL stadium it takes time to exit, there is no escaping the fact that Saints fans are more in number and more loyal than you weak pretenders will ever be!!

the reason that saints fans supported NA when we lost a few games is that being a supporter means that you back your team. if we were playing poorly or looked like we couldnt win games then NA would not have been given the backing he was, look at qpr yesterday! saints fans know and understand what its like to struggle at the bottom of the league with poor managers playing poorly. we know that NA is far better than some of the dross we have had in charge over the years (branfoot!) saints fans also know that being a supporter means you are there to cheer the team on when things arent going great, and we know that this gives the manager and players a lift. this is why saints fans kept going to st marys when in L1 and why we kept going at the start of this season. other teams dont have such great support, look at poopey, only 11,792 were at notarf yesterday, and that includes away fans. i wonder how many left early and if the few that remained booed the team off, i would say their team but its not its made up of loaners, this is a trait they try to throw at us whilst claiming they would never do such a thing! yes they may have a core support but only 2000 odd have pledged! saints fans get behind their manager and players, poopey havent got a manager and cant appoint one, and they havent got many players, and cant buy any. any club can go and buy success but those that try get burnt unless they have big new stadiums and 40k plus fans in it! i am proud of the fact that saints produce their own players through the academy (we dont poach players, just cause they dont want to play for your lot!) and am proud that we have some players we had in L1 playing for us in the prem. i am also proud that we have a chairman who can accept apologies from players, who speak out against them and the club, and allow that player back into the fold. i will admit i thought that we should have got rid of punch, but am pleased that i was wrong and since he started playing again i gave him my full support, and didnt he play well yesterday, but thats what being a fan is all about.
NA, at heart, has good intentions, he wants the team to play attractive football, nice. But this overplaying in the final third just doesn't work in the Premiership. Also the GK situation & not sorting out the defense in the summer is not on.
Weren't we one of the biggest spenders this summer? Shouldn't the fans expect better? If I go out for a meal & find a fly in my soup, I'm not going to sit there with a painted on smile. Or should I, so I can be considered a true customer?
When the subject of Nigel, maybe not being the way forward for the club comes up, some fans react as if they're being told Santa doesn't exist.

WE ARE THE MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON.
We've been to palace - watford - charlton etc last few seasons and today QPR - we dominate in the streets before and after the game and on the Terraces - there is only one club in these games
We owned the upper and lower terraces today and we were the top fans today - no issue !!
THE SAINTS GO MARCHING ON-ON-ON !!
After the game the chanting continued in the streets . WE ARE NUMBER ONE IN THE SOUTH !!
liverpool are running scared and have sold us under allocation - but next game after that AWAY we will be taking it to the opposition is fulham
IF YOU CAN GET A TICKET - BE THERE AND WIN AWAY !!
WE AIM TO F*CKING SMASH THEM.
RED ARMY. FIGHT AND WIN.
p.s confidence is high - Nigel has got a more settled winning side and we are gonna give it everything to WIN our next two home games.
WINNING IS EVERYTHING.
NO FEAR NO SURRENDER.
UP THE PREMIER LEAGUE WE MUST GO.
WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON THE PRIDE OF THE SOUTH.
RED ARMY, RED ARMY, RED ARMY.
THERE'S ONLY 1 NIGEL ADKINS 1 NIGEL ADKINS THERE'S ONLY 1 NIGEL ADKINS.
bring on the next games we are up for them.
COYR.
You had to many shandys no 1 in the south ! i dont think so .
one win and your the best team ?
And your Bottom three
poopey are NOT our local rivals you do not compete with us on a football field, our rivals are the other members of the premier league,your rivals are the likes of Bury, Yeovil and Stevenage etc, the only chance you will have to be our rival any time in the next 20 years will be if you manage to get to the 3rd round of the F.A. cup,so it's not going to happen.
Ah! what about the Capitol one cup you ask?, you can only compete in this cup if you are members of the football league and since poopey are soon to be liquidated and banished to non league football that won't happen.
So what are pompey to the Saints they are our neighbours from down the road, we are the Jones's that you are trying to keep up with and that is not a bad thing every club needs ambition but it does have to be realistic.
your pathetic attempts to belittle the Saints and our problems are akin to the little old lady on the electric scooter telling Lewis Hamilton how to drive (yes they both drive 4 wheeled vehicles but are light years apart in their skills in doing so).
so while you continue to amuse us please excuse us when we start talking about things you don't understand, like premiership football, young homegrown academy players and good football finances we are not being rude if we ignore you but we do have adult subjects to attend to and will give you the attention you seek when we have time.
your patience in this matter would be appreciated and thank you

Saints are premier league i know you don't like it but you just have to accept it.
poopey are 3rd division or (league 1 if that sounds better) they are 2 divisions below the saints and 44 places below,
so come on then make us laugh tell us who is the number 1 club in the south

Person 1 says, we need to stand behind the team whatever happens. Person 2 then says "So what you're saying is that if the team gets no more points over the next ten seasons, we should stand behind them"
Poor. Very poor. And not worthy of response.
All people are saying is that support tends to help teams to perform better. If that's the case, why not shout out your support?
Please don't extrapolate from that that I'd support the team if they slaughtered all the first born children in the UK...

At last, someone posing a rational argument. Who would replace him is key.
Chaps, if Southampton wasn't your team, and you had a cold hard look at the money spent, the Gk situation, defense, the tactic of lots of meaningless short little passes in the final third and Rickie twice being left on the bench, wouldn't your appraisal be a little on the negative side.
Well done for supporting Adkins, but it's a little embarrassing when fans of other clubs ask, with all that money spent why didn't he sort out the back & why do the players overplay it in the final third and why are the fans constantly singing his name, like he's Brian Clough.
NA and SFC DID target shoring up the back during the transfer window i.e
GK Targets: Buttland (failed) Gazza (successful)
LB Target: Buttner (failed)
CB Target Yoshida (succesful)
RB Target Clyne (succesful)
This covers all defensive positions but as we failed in some that left us short (That's life/ same at Liverpool)
Adkins - I have my doubts about Nigel as much as I like him but he must be given enough time to find his feet and stability at the club is very important. Tactics - I agree very strange, subs - poor. If it is demonstrated that he is out of his depth then he must go as, for me, the club comes first. In the meantime he IS our manager and as such gets my backing as does the team. We have a role to play, at QPR yesterday and Pompey the other week (HAHAHA) the team and the manager were booed off, that undermines confidence and damages performance and is NOTwhat we do here. What is undeniable is that we are play some great football and are recieving plaudits at the highest levels, lets hope we turn that into points!
Kelvin - I'm one of those who voted for Gazza. He may be young and inexperienced but can only improve. I suggest you watch the Man U game again if poss. I can assure you that it's not because of the bigger teams scoring that KD was dropped, Or those that were in front of him. He consistently put our own defence under pressure with poor distribution and tbh someone with his experience should have known better.
Nothing wrong with being critical, just think you need a little perspective.

I have read all the comments about our keeper but he was good brave up for it and enjoying it. Sure he was out of position for there goal but get over it. It was a good tactical decision by the Reverand Nigel to play him yesterday to give him confidence for the future. He will be a constant in our team in the future.
We have missed Cork he was great yesterday.Adam was a magician yesterday. Rickie was tough and brave Puncheon was the games star Shaw is now a regular alongside a classy Clyne and our centre backs are really starting to gel.
I have never felt anything but positive with the Reverand Nigel in charge and yesterday did nothing to dispel that.
I feel we our on our way now,my only worry is can we keep hold of the Rev.

It was a good tactical decision by the Reverand Nigel to play him yesterday to give him confidence for the future. He will be a constant in our team in the future.
We have missed Cork he was great yesterday.Adam was a magician yesterday. Rickie was tough and brave Puncheon was the games star Shaw is now a regular alongside a classy Clyne and our centre backs are really starting to gel.

Just thinking about the best post war managers in England.
1. Bob Paisley - 3 European Cups, 6 titles in 9 years - nuff said
2. Alex Ferguson - 12 titles, 2 European Cups. Helped with all the sky money and retention of home gate receipts
3. Brian Clough. 2 league titles 2 European cups. All with provincial sides
4. Arsene Wenger. 3 league titles. 4 FA cups. transformed Arsenal into a great side to watch for neutrals. Built the side called the invincibles with the help of a Robert Pires dive. Given the one of the best ever English defences as a base, and maybe wasted it with mainly foreign players who weren't loyal to the club. One of the best football comments ever to Ferguson "Of course everyone thinks their wife is the prettiest" - referring to Fergies own side.
5. Stan Cullis. 3 league titles, 2 FA cups with players with very strange accents for which communication must have been almost impossible. Fluoride ingestion would not have helped.
6. Nigel Adkins. Took a provincial side to two consecutive promotions, and a paint pot trophy in front of fans who always turn on their manager and leave early for the exits. Respect - seriously. All this while having time to keep his sun tan fresh looking, being positive, meeting loads of strange farmer type fans at forums, then still being positive and fighting behind closed doors with the new Blofeld of English football.
7. Bill Shankly. 3 league titles, 2 FA cups UEFA cup
8. Howard Kendal. 2 league titles with a second city team
9. Kenny Dalglish. 4 league titles. Almost achieved titles with 3 clubs. Was bankrolled at Blackburn, and was given the best side in the country at Liverpool.
10. Don Revie. 2 league titles and many second places. Possibly the hardest ever team in the top flight. All of them together were able to overcome Graham Souness.
10. Bob Jackson. 2 league titles.
If Nige keep going, and gets into 17th place this season, he could probably move up ahead of stan Cullis.
Footnote. Brendan Rodgers doesnt count as he had the complete backing of his fans, and the beautiful football he has played at Swansea doesn't count as everyone expeccted to beat them and the opposition were psycholocially tricked into defeat. The saints are a much much bigger club, and can't get this effect and even though they have one of the best, bestest, and even bestier TM and poachiest academies in world football to rely on, we are talking kids here, and they are generally intimidated by the turn-coat fans, and the early exits.

the reason that saints fans supported NA when we lost a few games is that being a supporter means that you back your team. if we were playing poorly or looked like we couldnt win games then NA would not have been given the backing he was, look at qpr yesterday! saints fans know and understand what its like to struggle at the bottom of the league with poor managers playing poorly. we know that NA is far better than some of the dross we have had in charge over the years (branfoot!) saints fans also know that being a supporter means you are there to cheer the team on when things arent going great, and we know that this gives the manager and players a lift. this is why saints fans kept going to st marys when in L1 and why we kept going at the start of this season. other teams dont have such great support, look at poopey, only 11,792 were at notarf yesterday, and that includes away fans. i wonder how many left early and if the few that remained booed the team off, i would say their team but its not its made up of loaners, this is a trait they try to throw at us whilst claiming they would never do such a thing! yes they may have a core support but only 2000 odd have pledged! saints fans get behind their manager and players, poopey havent got a manager and cant appoint one, and they havent got many players, and cant buy any. any club can go and buy success but those that try get burnt unless they have big new stadiums and 40k plus fans in it! i am proud of the fact that saints produce their own players through the academy (we dont poach players, just cause they dont want to play for your lot!) and am proud that we have some players we had in L1 playing for us in the prem. i am also proud that we have a chairman who can accept apologies from players, who speak out against them and the club, and allow that player back into the fold. i will admit i thought that we should have got rid of punch, but am pleased that i was wrong and since he started playing again i gave him my full support, and didnt he play well yesterday, but thats what being a fan is all about.
NA, at heart, has good intentions, he wants the team to play attractive football, nice. But this overplaying in the final third just doesn't work in the Premiership. Also the GK situation & not sorting out the defense in the summer is not on.
Weren't we one of the biggest spenders this summer? Shouldn't the fans expect better? If I go out for a meal & find a fly in my soup, I'm not going to sit there with a painted on smile. Or should I, so I can be considered a true customer?

the reason that saints fans supported NA when we lost a few games is that being a supporter means that you back your team. if we were playing poorly or looked like we couldnt win games then NA would not have been given the backing he was, look at qpr yesterday! saints fans know and understand what its like to struggle at the bottom of the league with poor managers playing poorly. we know that NA is far better than some of the dross we have had in charge over the years (branfoot!) saints fans also know that being a supporter means you are there to cheer the team on when things arent going great, and we know that this gives the manager and players a lift. this is why saints fans kept going to st marys when in L1 and why we kept going at the start of this season. other teams dont have such great support, look at poopey, only 11,792 were at notarf yesterday, and that includes away fans. i wonder how many left early and if the few that remained booed the team off, i would say their team but its not its made up of loaners, this is a trait they try to throw at us whilst claiming they would never do such a thing! yes they may have a core support but only 2000 odd have pledged! saints fans get behind their manager and players, poopey havent got a manager and cant appoint one, and they havent got many players, and cant buy any. any club can go and buy success but those that try get burnt unless they have big new stadiums and 40k plus fans in it! i am proud of the fact that saints produce their own players through the academy (we dont poach players, just cause they dont want to play for your lot!) and am proud that we have some players we had in L1 playing for us in the prem. i am also proud that we have a chairman who can accept apologies from players, who speak out against them and the club, and allow that player back into the fold. i will admit i thought that we should have got rid of punch, but am pleased that i was wrong and since he started playing again i gave him my full support, and didnt he play well yesterday, but thats what being a fan is all about.
NA, at heart, has good intentions, he wants the team to play attractive football, nice. But this overplaying in the final third just doesn't work in the Premiership. Also the GK situation & not sorting out the defense in the summer is not on.
Weren't we one of the biggest spenders this summer? Shouldn't the fans expect better? If I go out for a meal & find a fly in my soup, I'm not going to sit there with a painted on smile. Or should I, so I can be considered a true customer?
When the subject of Nigel, maybe not being the way forward for the club comes up, some fans react as if they're being told Santa doesn't exist. This season has become, for some fans, about telling the media we are behind Adkins and not about evaluationg what has gone on in the off season and what is going on when we play. Do tell me, what colour is the sky in your world?
Person 1 says, we need to stand behind the team whatever happens. Person 2 then says "So what you're saying is that if the team gets no more points over the next ten seasons, we should stand behind them"
Poor. Very poor. And not worthy of response.
All people are saying is that support tends to help teams to perform better. If that's the case, why not shout out your support?
Please don't extrapolate from that that I'd support the team if they slaughtered all the first born children in the UK...

I say "we should stand behind the team" and you twist the meaning to suggest that I never think a manager should go ("In that case, why should any manager be sacked?" ) Silly extrapolation gets you nowhere.
No idea what ITV2 has to do with anything, so I'm lost on that front.
Tell you what, for a bloke who wasn't even interested enough to be registered on this site four days ago, you're a man of suddenly bold opinions picking arguments with all and sundry.
Good luck with the silly exaggerations: I look forward to many, many more of them.
