out of interest who would be everyone's best ever England right back?

never mind the weight, feel the quality, or the lack of in this case.

Penny Mordaunt MP ‏@PennyMordauntMP 17 hours ago Currently sat at another dinner table stuffing my face and using football as a vehicle to ensure I get lots of skate votes. If only there were more skiers in Fratton I'd be on that Jump show next month. Hang on, there's another bandwagon going past the restaurant window. I'd better rush out and jump on that#pompey @PompeyTrust

Some pickey sold em a cheap drainage system in the summer

his season turned on that Villa game. Since then he hasn't known whether to come off his line or stick. Actually he has not not come off his line at all since then and that has caused us a few problems. He needs to put that behind him and get back to where he was before that game, which was making good decisions as to when to come out or not. As for the rest of his game, well his kicking has got worse as the season goes on. It's not easy off both feet, but he was booming clearances and turning defence into attack. At times now it is not reaching half way and we are back under pressure. He is flapping less than he did before. He's such a big guy he should dominate the box, but he isn't always the quickest on his feet. Definate room for improvement there. Shot stopping he has been pretty decent. Not much has got past him and he has been pretty solid. I've yet to see a truely world class save (by contrast I've to see him commit a howler), something Boruc puled out of the hat a few times, but in fairness to Forster he has so little to do its not easy for him to shine. Being able to make that save after a long period of inactivity is tough and he has done well. I don't miss Boruc's over casual style - that Stoke mistake annoyed me a lot - but I do miss how brilliant he was with crosses.

there is a god.

Barton vs Osvaldo on the pitch would be worth the entrance fee alone. I like the comments on the QPR page pointing to Osvaldo's rage at not getting a pass and asking how he will cope with Zarate (who never passes) and the rest of the QPR side who fail to find anyone with their passes. What a waste of money.

if Swansea's Gomis contract is anything to go by, then he certainly won't be available for `free' in the summer. The signing on bonuses to `free' contract players are getting as big as the transfer fees themselves. Konoplyanka certainly looked exciting in the games I've seen him play, but I can't see him joining us somehow. Not enough street cred for him I suspect.

cant see the TV companies (and they are the only ones that matter here) having a problem with more Premier League sides making the CL. In fact I'm surprised they haven't wangled it before so that more Prem sides made it in each year.

if two many big sides miss out they'll probably just increase the qualification positions down to 5th or 6th place in the league

ignoring the fact that losing the play-off game actually gets you into the Europa cup, wouldn't fourth still be better than 5th as it actually gives us a chance of getting in the CL proper? Having made fourth, we would have every chance of wining that two legged game. You seem to made your mind up that we would lose that game no matter what.

Didn't we have a stick on handball pen denied at their place a season or so ago? Like you say who cares whether it was or wasn't.

Thought Gardos had a very strong game winning headers at One end and Pelle winning them at the other. Gave us a huge platform to build from. The pace of our two fullback prevented us being exposed and the work rate of everyone else drives us home. Love the tricks and flicks of Pelle and Elias. Happy days.

Wide open game so far

has his Dad stopped moaning about Jack not having been offered one?

I know I've seen that gormless smile somewhere...

the middle photo is just too easy.

...with a 95th minute winner for York City at Nottarfkrap, on the last day of the season, from an offside position, at the Fratton end, shirt off, revealing "You skate b*stards" emblazoned on his vest, with the bolstered "away" crowd going wild.

Thank god that is over. Any half decent showing from a championship side and we'd have dine another Sheff United. Thankfully they were ****

Those doing the 1500 mile three game trip getting their rewards...

Forster kicking drives me ****ing nuts.

He is not a wing back. I'd of been tempted to switch him and Bertrand.

Maybe we need to do a chelsea a la matic and admit we made a mistake and buy the lad back? Mind you Bertrand and Targett already down the left.

Ipswich are having a mare, thankfully.

No we need Hawkman prince Zoltan (Liptak)
