Nicola probably did say it in person, but wouldn't hurt to place a small paragraph in the programme. Make fans feel better, not provide more fuel to the media and do no harm whatsoever.
This is working well for me - http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/164590/2/watch-southampton-fc-vs-everton-fc.html
I'd have liked a mention of Adkins in the programme, but get this idea out of your heads that he is owed anything. He excelled, yes, but essentially he did his job, and he was well rewarded for what he achieved.
I don't know who said it - but yes MP does look like Karl Pilkington with hair! Waiting for someone to do the cut and paste!
Heh, I enjoy seeing Hooiveld and Fellaini in the heavyweight tilt on the corner...and right beside them, the featherweight contest of Naismith and Clyne.
