not watched MOTD. Not sure I can bring myself to see the comical defending for Yoshida et al. One question, where did the pressing game go? There was a two minute spell when we `charged', but other than that our pressing game was non existent

likewise. Didn't need to go to ground, having done so he can't lose it, having lost it he can't be caught sat on his arse as the gyy walks past him and sets up the winner. He was to blame for first as well, although it was a great pass to put Remi in. Bad day at the office. Doesn't mean we won't play better next week. We have to play well toi win games and we didn't today. We'll stay up if we play to our best in the remaining games.

Not a great display from us. We started brightly but quickly lost our way and ran out of ideas long before the end. Why we are hoofing it long with 20 minutes to go I will never know. I also don't understand why MP played Ramirez. They had two massive slow centre backs and the ideal attacker was someone to turn those two around. Rodriguez was the perfect player to do that. Ramirez, doing everything in front of them wasn't. Lambert had a poor game too, but he had absolutely no support with Ramirez dropping far far too deep. As soon as Lallana went off we ran out of ideas. Far too many players had below average games. Clyne and Puncheon offered absolutely no threat. Morgan dissapeared for long spells. Ramirez did little and appears to only be able to last 60 minutes. The only player that impressed me was Cork, who had a fantastic game. We must improve massively to get anything next week. Boruc 6 one terrrible pass to Fonte that almost put us in terrible trouble. Made everyone nervous a few times, but no other problems.Couldn't do anything aboiut goals. Very little else to do. Clyne 5 I thought Mbia caused him lots of problems defensively and attacking wise he offered nothing. Get to the byeline for once. Far from his best game. Fonte 7 looked rusty and got away with a few things at times, but good to have him back. Slightly harsh booking. Got forward a lot long before he was pushed up front at the end, but never looked like scoring despite several efforts. I don't want to see him passing it 5 yards square to Morgan. Push up Morgan and let Fonte bring it out from the back. Yoshida 4 absolute rubbish. He's Chris Perry Mark II in my eyes. If you play at CB you must be able to win headers. Like Chris he is too small and he suffers. He won two contested ones all day. At fault for both goals unless my eyes deceive me. Poor positioning and outpaced for first. No reason to go to ground for second. Distribution ****e. Almost caught several times near the end. I simply do not see what you all see in him. We'd have been off with Jos against Bothroyd IMO. Fox 5 One or two good things, one great cross to Puncheon in the second half, but positionally slightly suspect. Get goal side FFS. Always seems to get injured. I'm not a fan, never had been. He's played better and played worse. Puncheon 5 just didn't do anything to hurt QPR. He took them apart at their place, but he did nothing today. Cork 9 absolutely oustanding again. Battled and was head and shoulders out best player, but when you see Cork running beyond Lambert as our further forward player you know we haven't got it right. Morgan 6 very low key display. One great last ditch tackle that saw his name sung, but did not nearly enough. Lallana 7 bright, unlike pretty much everyone elese bar Cork, lots of effort and movement. Boy did we suffer from a lack of creativity when he went off, although it helped us a little by bringing Jay on. Ramirez 5 a better display than we have seen recently (Everton apart), not saying much mind, but because he drops so deep it hindered us as we had little up front to aim at. Touch better but just when you need him to make that pass he failed. The goal was quality, but he didn't deliver overall. If you have someone playing in the hole they have to be special. He has talent, but he's not running games. Very poor engine. Can't last the full game at his age? Lambert 4 very sloppy first half. Looked slow and nothing like the recent snappy performances. Was all on his own, which didn't help, nor did the hoof as the game went on. But when it came to him he wasn't alive. Didn't see enough ball and was never going to win headers against Samba and Hill. Defensively struggled to prevent Samba winning every header from their corners. Rodriguez 7 very sharp and cause them problems. Didn't quite run for him, but should have started. Ward Prowse busys but when you need a goal at the death he isn't the player that is going to do it for you. He isn't going to change the pattern. Did fine. Going to be a player, but offes little impact as a sub. Where was Mayuka???? Shaw 6 some nice touches and he drove on, but one crap cross (worst thing he has done in a Saints shirt - he's been that good) before some suspect defending for their second goal. One last moan. The number of times we have the ball for a throw or a free kick or corner right in their half, **** about, lose it and then get caught on the break has to stop. Far too many 2 on 2s, 3 on 3s having been deep in opposition territory moments before.

did he sign the contract in his jeans?

£4m in bank will pay PKF and their lawyers. Kanu su[posedly came to an agreement and is part of the football creditors now. The £2m floating charge is another matter.

hope it makes general sale. I could of got mine already, but got my trouble in tow so have to wait for general bloody sale.

specifically Red**** and if Assou-Ekotto hadn't of got injured when he did, Bale would have been farmed off to Forrest.

Hall seems to forget that the vast majority of constituents don't give a ****ing toss about this tax dodging cesspitt of a company and care more about the basic services they pay for out of their council taxes. John Ferrett's response to the decision: The Council Leader is once again given a platform by this paper for more Lib Dem propaganda. Note there is no counter-view, either in the article or video. One reason is that the News Editor has instructed his journalists not to seek quotes from myself as Leader of the Labour Group. This is what passes for a free press in Portsmouth. The opposition were given less than 24 hours notice of this meeting and no advance briefing of the papers before they went public. Furthermore, we had been promised a meeting as far back as January with the administrator to discuss any changes to the business plan and the changed financial position of the club. That meeting has still to take place, yet the administrator has once again held a gun to the council's head and said ' give us the money or the club gets it'! When the loan was agreed in August one of the conditions was that the club should be purchased for £7.66m. If this condition couldn't be met then the loan should be refused. There was scope for 'minor amendments' yet the club is now being purchased for a staggering £13.56m - I would contend anyone to argue that this massive increase in the purchase price is a minor amendment. Finally, the council is making massive cuts to services in this city, not least to childrens services and social care. In those circumstances is it too much to ask for some transparency and information before a loan of this size is authorised?

PDT is property developers trust. PDT used instead of PST because the bid is funded more by property developers than supporters.

this is the council that cost its constituents £11.1 million when they failed to put together water tight contract with the contractor building the the Spinnaker tower.

Do the FL realise that their preferred buyer is going into debt to buy the club and will repay that creditor before it starts settling up with the football creditors?

stranger still, in the first report the PCC required access to the full £11.7m of PPs. These appear to have gone down to £7m and then raised back up to £11m, but still are lower than they were before. Supermarket discounting at its best!

-10 this season when they come out of admin. If they don't come out of admin before end of season then they are chucked out of league.

22 points behind with only 33 available

there is no such thing as a 10 year season ticket. 300 have lifetime season tickets though.

if he can be stand out at 17 in the prem, what's he going to be like in a year or two. £25m soounds outrageous, but it really isn't if you think the lad might be an England left back for the next ten years.

Hartlepool, Colchester and Bury all winning. Nice.

Not surprised Chelsea want him. he has been outstanding since coming into the side and looked particularly good at their place. £10m seems low seeing as Zirkov cost them £18m.

what absolutely terrific news. Feels like when Lallana signed that five year deal. Always thought he would be a Premiership player and give it a season or two and he'll be regarded as a top Premiership player. Very happy indeed.

actually, you've got it right there.

that £4m in the bank is there for one reason and one reason only, to ensure that PKF and the solicitors they have employed get paid.

This is just a tad higher than the £8.5m we have been talking about on here (or does that figure include agreements made in CVA1???) and with around £7m of parachute payments now remaining (is that correct???). I'm getting a little concerned that Kanu might go hungry.

why wouldn't they claim them all?

er Steve, that's not Lee Barnard getting felt up by Sodji it's Jose Baxtor. I guess he's got his hands full knowing who's playing for the skates never mind the opposition.
