    Fine, he can FOOOK OFF then. We've got something good going on here and if he doesn't want to be part of it, then more fool him.

    (it's just speculation but this is my reaction if it is indeed true)

    I think Fox should and would take the pen. He's a dead ball expert, like Lambert.

    you seem very dismissive...

    i heard this from a current pro footballer
    he also said that billy sharp had been speaking with andy crosby
    and told me why he didnt sign in the summer...

    because he didn't want to play second fiddle to Rickie?

    This is what I mean. We've now basically had four different suggestions for penalty taker. I think, as captain, you can also add Hammond to that - with no Lambert, he may decide to pull rank and take responsibility. And what about De Ridder, or maybe Cork?

    Not a surprise (I noticed we had been quiet on the Lambert front) but will make things tough. Guly is good away from home at holding the ball up and is prolific enough to be our second highest league scorer.

    Is Lambert still crucial to how we play like he was back when Pards was gaffer? We will see..

    No appraently wasnt the case

    i was flying back from Leeds Bradford airport on 22.11 and the 1830 flight was delayed...well i went to the bar and sat next to james beattie who was flying back home having trained with sheff utd
    we got talking and the flight got cancelled - check if you dont believe me...

    anyhow - he had borrowed a mates car and it was at the airport carpark - so being the gent he is he drove me back to southampton parkway airport

    anyhow - he told me billy sharp is one of his best mates - the deal was agreed with donny and personal terms also agreed - just before he signed cortese called his agent and lowered the terms - he refused and so stayed put.

    crosby has been speaking with him again and he is hopeful of signing for saints in jan - but also west ham and boro have also enquired

    he then told me the rumour was that ricky may be going to newcaste (old rumour i know) for £5-£6m

    he also wanted to come back to saints but hasnt played for ages

    lallana keeps asking adkins who says he would look at it once he has played some games - hence the deal with sheff utd...

    anyhow - i have to say he was a really humble guy, quite intelligent and extremly nice too

    he also said some other stuff about lowe, pahars and england team mates that were very interesting

    NA will have allocated a penalty taker before hand no doubt

    Still, Lambert signed a new contract recently and went on record saying "I want to finish my career here at Southampton". I don't buy this "he's leaving in Jan" rubbish.

    you are free to choose to believe what you want

    not sure what is not believable about beattie - he is a footballer - not superhuman - maybe you expected him to fly himself back from the airport...

    the bit where lallana keeps asking adkins to take a look at it

    and, does anybody know if connolly is still injured? or is barnard just forced himself in now?

    it make me laugh - you guys check my history of posts - i have never posted any rumours...

    and the only reason i did id because it came from a ex saints player who still speaks with adam lallana regularly and he hears stuff from time to time

    not like im making out he is my friend because he isnt

    it is pertinent to mention today as we are playing donny (i.e. billy sharp) and lambert isnt playing

    lallana asked adkins if he could come back - beattie said he would like to

    also - he did tell me about barnard investigation that he is in huge trouble for his part

    Sounds like 007 have been rummaging in the wrong bins. You sure it wasn't Craig Beattie? <laugh>
