that missed header by Stephens in added time...jesus. A CB cant do that, ever. He got away with it, this time, but on another day...

Djenepo has had a good second half and tried to make things happen

good play from us again. I guess west ham are sitting back, but we are pressing them hard and at least pushing for a goal

why not take Hoj off?

has always been his problem. Simply does not have the quality needed to play in that tight area in the middle in the top flight. Gets worse the more tired he gets, and by giving it away the team collectively gets more tired chasing lost causes to try and get it back.

better fight from us.

we are weak as **** through the middle. Antonio showing up our CBs for what they are - slow and weak.

My eyes bleed watching this team.

"exactly".

I see our friend Donna loves a kebab is in the snews and Private Eye in a story about her role in Victory energy and how she may have got that nice consulting role at PFC.

the three home cup ties in 2011/12

Just the name Adrian Heath makes me feel slightly sick to the stomach. I guess I was of that age when it hurts like hell to lose any game never mind the biggest of my life at that time. The Andy Richie goal was equally hard to take. More recently the Norris goal was gutting. We were going up, playing sensational stuff and it was just such a wasted opportunity to get one over on those ****s. Not nearly as painful as Heaths goal though.

I was at Ashton Gate on Saturday and Matty Cash looked good. He's a right winger who has filled in at right back in the last month or so and been outstanding there for Forest. Not exactly the biggest fella in the world, but decent touch and enough pace to survive. Decent going forward as you'd expect. Won't be cheap and doubt Forest will allow him to leave before the summer as they are in the hunt for a playoff place.

not really. We stuck 10 men behind the ball and did **** all other than defend. We showed absolutely nothing with the ball. As Strachan used to say, you have to be brave on the ball and we weren't. The only thing that made the performance respectable was that it was against a top side. Against almost everyone else it would have been two woeful displays. Todays game wasn't that. Yes Arsenal are no where near the level of City, but they are still half decent (all be it struggling a bit) and we wiped the floor with them. Their fans booed them off the park, that how much we showed the up. I am not saying this is a turning point, because it still feels a long way from that (play well and still don't win is a recipe relegation), but this WAS something to build on. We have to play like that i every game and hopefully be clinical.

Many of the locals are starting to ask questions abut Disney and the lack of progress relating to the new stadium. The idea that development would be held up over a bridge is seen as a very lame excuse and as a result some think that raises doubt about Eisner's intentions. Three years in they wonder if they would be any worse off if they hadn't sold up.

They built a new bridge there about 18 months ago. They won't be building another for a once fortnightly occasion.

Levy would argue that the CL run papered over the cracks and they have been very average for almost a year now. They did spend in the summer, but the side has got worse, not better.

What a surprise, Network Rail has said "on your bike" so I guess it's all off. Who'd of guessed?

We can buy all 35 properties on Alverstone Road (a max of 6 bought to date) 2. We get support/approval from other householders affected by building a new stand 3. Network rail spends millions on Fratton Station 4. Someone spends millions turning the Rodney Road industrial park into something less of an eyesore 5. FTSE 100 companies agree to buy corporate boxes in the new Milton End stand (if you build it they will come) 6. We keep councillor Donna Jones in our pocket by employing her as stadium development consultant (no conflict of interest there at all...no sir) 7. We manage to get ourselves out of the third division 8. Global warming is reversed 9. Oil is discovered in the small section of car park between Tesco and the Fratton End 10. Brexit is a success for everyone in the UK 11. World peace is declared 12. Oh I forgot. When we find the maker of a real tardice so that we can increase the capacity of the Milton end AND add corporate boxes without making the stand any higher.

previously we sold our good players and replaced them with bang average. Now we sell our bang average and don't even replace them.

say what?

We badly need a midfielder like Lemina with the ability to actually get about the pitch. I know things came to a head and he had to leave, but the way Saints managers have treated him, Boufal and Gambiadini in recent years is criminal. All three have had the ability we needed, but have not been trusted or shown the faith that would have IMO allowed them to blossom. Remove talent from a squad and you are left with mediocrity that doesn't have the ability to move the ball and create chances.

svensson didn't play a match, Dodd only 4, Oakley only 7. It's not really fair to include them. Claus was past his best (as was Dodd).

yeah, but we will replace them with worse. With the side being so **** at passing and controlling the football, maybe we need a bit of Long, then we can smash it down the channels, turn teams around and at least gt the ball in their final third. Jesus, thats how bad it has got. I am calling for long ball and Long. Kill me now.
