Gutted. He has to go down as one of the worst footballers I have ever seen and would have welcomed seeing him start for them again. Woeful player. They are stronger without him.

he went to Brookfield School, so not sure about being brought up in Copnor. It matters not. He might be a skate, but he's like your good self: not totally blind to the qualities of SFC.

sue the ****er, you never know it might have serious wedge tied up in an offshore account.

he's from the Southampton side of Titchfield I tell the. Not bad lad.

not sure you have to make your debut to be classified as a kid. Gillet for example had two sub appearances in the season prior to the one you are talking about, but he was still a youngster that we would not have had to turn to should we have not cut our cloth accordingly. The full list of youngsters and their appearances that season are as follows: Bartosz Bialkowski 3 Jack Cork 23 Nathan Dyer 4 Simon Gillett 27 Oscar Gobern 6 Lee Holmes 11 Lloyd James 41 Adam Lallana 40 Oliver Lancashire 11 David McGoldrick 46 Kayne McLaggon 7 Joseph Mills 8 Lee Molyneux 4 Matthew Paterson 11 Alex Pearce 9 Tomas Pekhart 9 Jordan Robertson 10 Morgan Schneiderlin 30 Ryan Smith 13 Andrew Surman 44 Jake Thomson 10 Jamie White 3 OK so maybe including Surman is stretching things a touch, but he will still only 22 and as you can see played pretty much every game.

I presume it will be set up in the US, otherwise you've spelt `centre' incorrectly.

Was it kids for a quid and where does this 600 figure come from?

if the comments on the Portsmouth News website are anything to go by the skates seem to think their support at Blackpool showed exactly why they are Greatest Fans in the WorldTM.

the promotion campaign is back on track. With a fully fit squad we look like a different side. When Fonte is the worst distributor of the ball you know the side is playing well. Davis had one simple shot to save all game. There was a five minute period when several crosses cam in but our defence was solid and held firm. Going forward we looked much more dangerous, but the early goal was key. Very pleased with the display. Everyone played well, some excellently. Davis 7 came and caught well, kicked well and threw out well too, good choices, a million miles better than Bart, but actually nothing much to do so I'll give him a 7. Richardson 8 solid in defence and at last a decent cross. Perhaps he just has too much time, but when under pressure the cross was perfect. Linked up well with Guly (Bridge/Marsden style) Jos Outstanding 9 Fonte 7 one or two passes weren't great, and a few poor choices, but defensively strong Fox 7 kept it shorter, especially in the first half when playing in front of Adkins. Much better delivery from set pieces too. It was one of those games when we got our act together in all departments Lallana 9 Back to where he was at the start of the season. Ran them ragged, strong and much much quicker. What a difference that makes to the side. Cork 7 competed ever so well as usual and the middle was largely ours Morgan 7 solid game again, neat and tidy as always, just the odd loose pass early on, but with Cork forming a decent partnership Guly 7 linked up well with Richardson, didn't run with the ball, but kept it simple and passing was good. Worked hard and kept their winger quiet enough Lambert 10 outstanding. Won everything in the air and never gave it away once. Link up play first class and just missed the goal to cap a wonderful display Sharp 7 very bright and looked dangerous. Decent touch and just enough movement. Looks slow and work rate isn't the highest, but he just has more quality than Barnard and Lee. Thought he tired early, which was surprising, but did more than enough ti encourage me that he will score shed loads of goals for us Connelly 7 we were going long and the ball wasn't sticking. Adkins made the perfect substitution bringing on Connelly to link the play better. He did exactly that and we took charge again. Perfect player for the situation. Yes he is slow and lightweight, but his movement and willingness to drop deep changed the game. A few on here have slated him, hopefully they will have seen what he did and cut him a little slack. Hammond 7 tough not getting a starting spot after a great game on Tuesday, played well when he came on Lee couple of minutes at the end, showed the same drive as Tuesday. Oh, can we kick towards the Chapel first half in every game?

Austin will score, he always does. someone kick him

win: premiership bound, lose: ****ed...that's the beauty of Championship football

Robinson is a thug. Miles out of his depth in the Premiership. Would do fine at this level.

Do Kettering actaully require police inside the stadium fir their games? I recall one of our games at SMS (possibly against Walsall???) going ahead without a single officer being on duty at the stadium. Only coppers in the ground need to be paid for by the club. Outside the ground and its the taxpayer.

I understand that, but you'd need to remove Gary O'Neil for example. Sold for £5m 18 months after Bagpuss tried to offload him to Cardiff for £500,000. Oh and you give arry 5% of all sales, doubt he got 5% of sales after he left.

for me its the petrol cost. £70 round trip is a lot to spend when its on the TV. If it wasn't then I'd probaly go and pay the £36 through gritted teeth. I love going to Elland Road as well. My Dad was a big fan and I've been may times. Bates is a **** and the sooner he ****s off the better.

we can't lose, bagpuss fails and gets some stick, bagpuss does well and England are a success.

you make a very good point but didn't Bagpuss leave for Spurs in 2008?

I was told that a Saints fan volunteered to challenge the bubble on court, but he did so too late to get a judge to rule on it. I expect the FSF to search for a candidate in Pompey.

did it? It cost me more money, obtaining tickets was a massive hassle and in the end there was no difference to travelling by a club coach. If you lived near Portsmouth or London way it was considerable inconvenience. Did the Policing costs go down? Helicopters and god knows how many police throughout the route suggests otherwise to me. If they did then I can see the argument for it, but did it? In the end what actually worked as I don't recall there being any trouble at the 2005 game so what improvement was there? I do agree that its only fair that they have a bubble as we did, but I still don't see the bubble as some huge success. Left field but made me chuckle for some reason

the Northern based Saints that regularly attend will still buy tickets, but the idiots amongst us that go to games even when they are on TV might have second thoughts at that price so you might be right there. Premiership prices are not something to look forward to especially when every game can be seen on TV live.

The away side gets a 5% commission on every away ticket sold.

Yes many Saints fan raised similar objections.

where is the irony?
