Classic. Had to watch the Pompey one too - interesting that their reserve goalie was a dog, if David James moves, they might need to call up one of his descendents...

Was it? The Hoddle sacking? Yes, you're right now I think about it. Oh well... two good memories must have blurred into one...

No.

DANGER! DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE!!! Great little montage at the end of the match as I remember... (and of course, Hoddle got sacked after).

Just watched that Man Utd game again - you always remember the disallowed Keegan overhead kick 'goal', but how great to see that wonderful Armstrong finish for the winner. Vividly remember watching that from must behind the Milton Rd. goal. Blissful.

Let's not get over emotional - Pardew has only been here 5 minutes, once he gets the players in he wants, and has us working his way, we'll be fine.

Poor result, but it ensures AP knows what he's up against (if he doesn't already!) and Cortese/Libeherr will know that getting new players in in the next 2 weeks is critical. We have however played two of the favoured teams in this division - doesn't excuse only picking up 1 point, but we will play worse teams than Millwall and Huddersfield, and can only improve. COYS.

Maybe his age? - but agree, it does seem low to me too. Sure Pards will cut a decent deal if it does go through. Swansea were reportedly interested too, so that might drive the fee up.

Very funny! LOL.

It was all a ridiculous, ridiculous folly, and was clearly not going to work - although sadly those in charge of the club refused to see that. Nice to hear some detail from JP though. Just another catastrophe from L*** - let's put it behind us now and move on. At last we have sensible ownership, sensible guys running the club, and a sensible manager - all very 'against the grain' for Saints, but let's enjoy it!

Reading making a £500k bid today according to The Mail.

Always guaranteed to get a result that one... ... the ball in the back of our net.

I think we're getting ahead of ourselves. We're not quite ready yet, and whatever their state, Pompey ARE a Premiership side. Pompey is the last draw I'd want - rather wait to meet them next year in the league, when we're on more of an even footing...

About the 3rd of 4th retraction I've seen. Clearly keeping himself busy...

Probably Mme Cortese.

Thank God! It was so much better than The Championship - ITV just cannot do sport, no matter how much money they throw at it (not that any was thrown at The Championship of course!). Could do without the bird and the text messages, but other than that thought it was a really well put together show - footage was so much more professional than ITV too.

No change there then! At least this one has money...

Interesting debate on one of their message boards... http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=168588

Strange that you're patting yourself on the back for lauding a "strategy" that went catastrophically t*ts-up! The only reason we're out the other end is because ML came in and saved us after L*** experimental disaster hit ground, as we all anticipated. You are right though that other clubs might have to go through what we have been through, possibly in the Prem, possibly not too far from us...

Bit harsh blaming Pards and the current regime for what clearly was the fault of the stooges we had in charge before. Oh well, time to move on - good luck to him, better luck to us.

You get an extra 30 mins lie-in on a Sunday, before getting up to watch our 5 second 'highlights' on The Championship...

I think the Bolton spell was when I had him in my Fantasy team (which is why I remember the goals!). Most from set pieces if I remember, useful return.

Great if true. Decent defender - esp at this level, and weighed in with a number of goals too if memory serves.

Great, if true. He was one of those I said CDAJFU!

1-1 although it won't surprise me if Millwall nick it, they are a force in this division, and we are (at present) much weaker than we were last year. Have patience though, once AP has the right players in the right places, we will start flying.
