    Adkins, that is. Well not his fault. He turns 60 so this gives the OWS an excuse to put a good news story out to distract. An act of mindless desperation that totally fails as it reminds us of a time when: we had an owner who gave a ****; a manager who wasn’t deranged; players who recognised a football.

    On the subject of NA, he steered a team containing Lambert, Lallana, Schneiderlin and Fonte, with some decent supporting cast, to a double promotion. Anyone who thinks he was a miracle worker has missed the point. He was in a decent position and took full advantage, and well done him.

    But hey. Thanks for the memories, Nigel. Happy Birthday. But I need to some good news. Not distractions.

    Thought this was gonna be about the Nigel vs Rupert broken bromance.

    Nigel Adkins is 60? And it's 13 years since we completed our back to back promotion...
    Where does the time go?

    By the looks of it, the time has generally gone on whining, moaning, occasionally celebrating, and calling one another ****s...

    Well I was behind the goal at Anfield when Shane Long scored that goal, so it hasn't all been bad.

    When he got sacked by Tranmere the other week, part of me did think.Would be nice to have him back in charge until the end of the season. This place needs positive vibes
