who will be far too busy cleaning the lenses of their bi-noc-u-lars to have time for singing.

those two plus Stephen Dawson from Bury to support the midfield, and a right back would be fine by me.

Good point. He seems to be in and out of the side, which is never easy. The other question is has AP played him out of position far too much. He is clearly much mroe effective up front than at right midfield. I personally felt he should haev got far more opportunities up front. Foreign players often come good in their second season. If he gets the chance I expect him to be better next season.

I hate seeing our players cheat. Fonte diving, or shall we say making the most from a poor tackle at MK Donns, Skacel sticking his arse out and then falling over near the corner flag to get us a cheap free kick, or Morgan taking a gentle knock only to hold his face and make a big deal out of it are all incidents that have annoyed me in recent times. If you are happy to overlook these incidents then I don't see how you can compain when someone cheats us in the same way.

According to Alpine we're 1st Class, or is that (embassy) number 1 in Old Gold money? I expect us to Win(field) most weeks as we're only ever beaten by a Lucky Strike, maybe by Carlton or Chesterfield?

slightly dissapointing, but those of us at the game will no doubt carry the cup final win enjoyment/enthusism into this game. A couple of wins back to back and the play off might look a possibility. If that is the case the fans will flood back to SMS for the remaining games. Lets hope so.

I'm still amazed at the number of tackles he puts in. When you see his body shape and how he is on the ball you get the impression he's one of those fancy dans wingers, but he's not that at all as he actually puts his foot in properly and that alone endeares me to him. He is offside a lot, even for man playing on the shoulder, its something he needs to think about a bit more, but I like his pace and every now and then he's going to be offside and clean through, and on the whole he takes his chances.

He (Niemi) agreed a deal with AA to pay the remainder of his contract up.

not looked but can pompey be officially relegated this weekend?

Hreidersson is out of contract, although I think there was a clause in his contract similar to David James whereby he gets another year if he plays X number of games. I wonder if like James, Hreiderson may have renegotiated. Webber has another year, so he'll be there. Aren't wages covered by insurance if they get injured though?

we played OK, we won the game by such a large margin partly down to some terrible defensive errors by them, Wotton was still ****. Morgan come back soon.

I listen to talksport a fair bit because I'm in the car a lot and er, I like sport, but what a waste of a sports radio channel it is. I notice they have got ****flaps on board for the world cup. Another reason to dislike them.

that's just his style. The game was so easy for us you can hardly blame him. I don't think I've ever felt so calm about a Saints win before and that has to rub off on a commentator if they know the game as he does. He bigged us up throughout the highlights programme. He knows us very well as he watches us on a regular basis and that was evident. I think he is very fair when it comes to Saints.

he's certainly better than Puncheon in the second half against Swindon and full games against MK Donns and Hartlepool. Anotnio has had some bad games, but for me these are much outweighed by the good ones. The way he tore Bristol Rovers and Leyton Orient apart was a joy and if we are in League 1 next season then I look forward to him doing the same up and down the country. they are very different players by the way and absolutely no reason why both can't be accomodated in the squad or even the team. Antonio played up front, and both left and right wings yesterday, Lallana and Waigo were also moved about so AP feels they can all play in differnt positions if need be.

saintkiptanui and Alpine told people to shut the **** up and I thought they meant people on here telling it how it is as apposed to telling those that booed NC at Wembley. I just want to reiterate for the hard of reading, Maywhinney was booed, and NC was booed. Two seperate incidents. There is no confusion here on my part.

oh I see. In which case forget what I said Alpine.

why attack those reporting what happened? The damage (if any) was done yesterday. NC will either be non plussed or he won't. What we discuss here won't have a bearing at all.

yes I missed it sorry.

one bad game (against Bristol Rovers) all season says it all. Compare last season with the likes of Lancashire being bullied by forwards to this with Harding bullying attackers. Has he improved a lot? I wonder because I don't understand why the likes of Leeds didn't rate him.

why suggest it was the part timers? There is no way of determining who booed and who didn't. Just because you don't go to every game doesn't make you less informed, less loyal, or less entitled to your opinion.

nope, the boos were from whole end rather than a small section of the ground. That said it was only a small percentage of people. Not sure why people are bothering to say they didn't hear it, it happened, that ios all that matters and shows how a large amount of people don't like him.

NC was booed when first shown on the big screen. I heard it clearly in block 235. When he appeared later he wasn't booed. Mexican waves suck. We almost scored during one and I bet thousands doing it and watching those do it would have missed the goal.

even if we don't he is still going to be bloody handy in this league next season.

and I'd be surprised if they don't both make good financial sense as well. Are we going to find players better without a great deal or luck or a great deal of cash spent?

could not agree with you more.
