Just watching the link above. Why does Ronald say "Fillet of Fish" at 27:20?

My recording crapped out, but from what I saw, all he said was "we play 3 at the back when we think the opposition will play 2 up front". He also managed to subtly annoy Carragher right at the start by saying Carragher would be the left sided centre back in their pairing, which implied he had no idea where Carragher actually played.

Given that there are two questions asking who sponsors the home and away kits but only one question asking which products the sponsor provides I'd be fairly sure they know that already.

Floating in the middle of the Solent... Few of things I'd never really noticed about Portsmouth before this weekend: 1) The railway station is on stilts above thick and dirty estuary mud, no wonder they thought they could build a new stadium there... 2) Having bought a round in All Bar One and eaten at Strada, I utterly understand why they think the club is worth £30m to the economy per match, I'm fairly sure I contributed about 25% of that weekend's revenue personally. 3) A cup of tea for a quid is great value, but they're not going to make any money doing daft crap like that.

"Give up and accept they're going to follow Saints, Brighton or Eastleigh" would be my advice. I don't actually think banning neanderthals who think it's the 1970s would do anything other than cut their gates in half.

I don't actually know where the DVD is at the moment...

Honours: Relegation from League One, 2012/13. Johnstone's Paint Trophy Round 2, possibly. League Two Top Half 2013/14.

Not only do I have the DVD, I've uploaded about 3 clips from it to Facebook. You should all be glad that Facebook videos are an absolute ar5e-pain to embed here or you'd all be watching my amazing goal at Dean Court on endless loop. Though there ARE still the goals from the Saints Forever v Pompey Online games at Moneyfields and Eastleigh doing the rounds...

Also, "b'there" is relatively posh in Newport compared to "b'yurr" and also "ida go b'yurr".

True, I tend to remember people who were around when I'm scoring overhead kicks at Premier League grounds though. Ha, well I know what you look like too.

Oh he does. He was in my aunt's class at school, you know.

Given his level of performance last time we played them I wouldn't be so sure.

Wasn't much of a guess, seeing as we've played football together and you know what I look like (though I was probably still ItWasAllYellow then)!

This illustrative picture may help with this theory:

Now there's a word I'd never heard until I moved down South. Was popular with a friend of mine who lived near Horndean. Re: accents. Generally Skates are more mockney, Sotonians have more of a worzel twang. There are exceptions. As for me, I sound like a well-spoken Tony Pulis, except when I say "car park", when I just sound like Tony Pulis.

Forgot to mention, during my time getting a taxi around Fratton before the match, we managed to get stuck in two-way one-way traffic (double parked, one car width to manoeuvre two directions of traffic along the entire road) on three separate occasions, one time the gridlock being resolved by a police van, and one time involving our taxi casually reversing into another car. Previous car-based visits to Portsmouth have also encountered this interesting attitude to giving way to oncoming traffic which has priority, including once being yelled at by a woman who was attempting to drive onto the roundabout I was already on, and once being expected to back up about 150 yards of double-parked traffic on my way to the greyhound track (never again) by some bonehead who'd decided the oncoming car was no match for his ability to block the entire road by pulling out when he had been happily out of the way up until that point, watching me drive the 150 yards towards the empty road alongside him until he pulled out. In summary, it's not just football.

Funnily enough every time I shake hands with my mate pictured here, I tell him he has small hands. She was pleased enough when it went viral, which fortunately didn't use the original tagged pic. I spent a little while on some Saints Facebook pages whilst drunk on Saturday night digging back at Skates who decided it was "sad" - bearing in mind they were trawling a Saints fan page even I didn't know about to have that opinion. I'm the one with hair who isn't a girl btw. And why yes, we were sodding about. They stuck to our heads with pretty much no help. We took one a couple of years ago too. Oh, and there are a few of the wife either wearing or waving her "Born to be a Saint" t-shirt at Fratton station and in the ground.

They're not inconsistent, they're consistently unable to break teams down because all they can do is run with the ball and that works best on the counter. Newport weren't even THAT defensive.

It's MarioKart on Super Nintendo and DS, not Mario Kart since then.

Funniest thing the wife said all day was "how are we stuck in all this traffic, they all left before the end?".

Mane red card was clearly an accidental clash of heads. Ridiculous card.

That's a completely fair point. Especially about Lolvren. Alderweireld looked ropy in the first month for Spurs and was quoted as saying he needed a DM in front of him because he wasn't used to it, before Dier was used there and Alli became a regular.

It was Alderweireld's speed of thought, positioning and incredible reaction time that made him outstanding for me - if a second ball dropped in the box he was always there to get to it first.

Yeah, there were a lot of deluded people about what made Fonte good last season. Alderweireld is also proving he's a top 4 CB this season alongside both Vertongen and the practically unheard of before a month ago Wimmer. Most of our problems at the end of last season came from Schneiderlin being injured and Alderweireld having to move out of the back line. We went from clean sheets on a regular basis to conceding 2 a game for the best part of 2 months - and both those players not being in their best positions caused it.

Six points in the bag for me today, went to Fratton. Bloody marvellous. To be clear, Portsmouth have now lost three successive League Two matches at home to Newport County without scoring a goal. Alan Biley was the last skate to score against Newport County at Fratton.
