Wonder if one has been offered yet?

So with Puncheon able to talk to other clubs in January and his contract expiring in the summer have we offered him a new contract and will he accept it? Our match winner's future is very much in the balance.

But his contract runs out in the summer and he is free to talk to other clubs in January so the million dollar question is Are we or have we offered him a new contract and if we have will he accept it?

I think there has been an exaggeration at the level of booing brought about perhaps by a tv mike in the wrong place. I am on the edge of the Northam and although there were a few groans and muttering when he appeared on the touchline they were drowned by the subsequent chant for his name. No Saints player should be booed before hand - at the final whistle maybe if it is deserved.

Went to see "Sightseers" in Harbour Lights cinema this afternoon, Ben Wheatley's latest black comedy thriller, and in it is a scene of a load of hippies and new age freaks/shamens wildly dancing around a camp site bonfire. When another camper complains about the noise of the drums the camp site owner apologises and says they can't help themselves "they are all from Portsmouth". That line raised the biggest laugh from the cinema audience throughout the whole film.

I think Stuart was made redundant earlier this year

This - I can't believe how Lee was so bad tonight. He was so ineffectual

Got to say Lee was dreadful and Mayuka not much better, neither contributed to one memorable incident.

There is a hint of sadism in your post - I like it!

What a shame you have to resort to including a few insults with your views; "childish"? Moi?

Trouble is there is so little public information coming out of SMS these days his post match interviews are the one chance we might actually learn something about our club. I was confused on Saturday having read all the negative reports from those at the match and then listened to his interview which left me with the impression that we had actually got something out of the match. I felt he was patronising in his responses - a bit more honesty and reality would not go amiss. I don't mind losing but when I hear my team have hardly mustered a shot on goal all afternoon I expect the manager to be at least as ****ed of as me.

Have you ever tried the subtle approach? Just asking

His post match interviews now to me are utterly worthless, win or lose. He just goes into a zone that is meaningless. Beginning to lose faith and the players must be too. Sorry I know he is a great bloke and has worked miracles but am increasingly thinking he can go no further

Classic response. We have just pulled the current European Champions and Cup holders and its "boring". Proof, if it were needed that something has gone seriously wrong with football. I wonder who will be managing them?

Agree 100% - he is starting to come across a little patronising, especially after yesterday when anyone would have thought we had just won.

NA was talikng our performance up - reckons we finished the game stronger blah blah blah

Thankfully we won't be able to use tiredness as an excuse if we falter

I was surprised Davis came on today when we were chasing the game and also surprised with Norwich lookiing the stronger team in the final stages on Wednesday, Adkins did not give Mayuka a chance.

Can't argue with that

Yea I thought that too but liked the line with Saints are coming through

If we are as fit as Adkins claims then we should be able to handle 3 games in 6 days especially as 2 were at home. Sorry tiredness is a lame excuse and not good enough. When you come up against a big club having an off day it games like that you need to take at least a point.

Was listening and singing along to Them's version of Dylan's "It's all over now baby blue" this morning and found myself inserting "Pompey" in the place of "baby". Check it out about a minute in "look out baby the Saints are coming through.........., and its all over now, Pompey blue" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7WJHdE0__I

Totally agree Pedro, its not much better than when we were at the Dell where at least the expectation was lower

Yes Ron, he is now goalkeeping coach at Otterbourne FC who have just celebrated their 50th anniversary.
