I think Saints miseed a trick. Invite all the press along for a presser and instead of announcing the departure of RK announce the new sponsorship.. Shame, missed opportunity!

It's a bit early to post when drunk. I remember a world cup once where there were lots of robberies of left luggage at a fan zone. Scousers were blamed by everybody, it didn't matter what English club they supported, so you do have a reputation for taking. I suspect we're getting money up front. As someone who lives nearer Portsmouth than Southampton your second statemement made me laugh. It's got some good tourist attractions but a deeply unattractive atmosphere and people. Finally, if Liverpool do get the cruise liners asthmatics in Southampton will be celebrating. You're probably too uninformed to understand the significance of that statement.

Unusually today I came to Saintsweb via the OS where there was nothing, so I can safely type (a la Skacel) 'has he gone yet'?

Still not on the OS a few seconds ago.

I've still seen no reason why someone would go to the effort, unless it's an elaborate betting scam?

Sponsor a worm hole?

It shows there are people around who can't be trusted or there are people around who go to extreme lengths to hoax people. I don't understand either mentality or motivation, to be honest.

Sod me, that looks genuine, or somebody has gone into a lot of effort to produce if it isn't (and trolls don't normally make that much effort)! The question is, shall I start any planning. Whitey, what do you reckon? :-)

Has this already been posted on here? Sorry if it has but the thread is moving so quickly and I haven't spotted it: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/ronald-koeman-latest-agent-denies-deal-between-southampton-and-everton-has-been-agreed-a7066221.html

I feel dirty. Just as I came over Butser Hill this evening a blue transit covered in Portsmouth signs drove up the Petersfield slip road. It also had the sign 'Books Purchased' emblazoned on the sides. I was sorely tempted to open the window and give it an appropriate salute but, Rallyboy can vouch for my ladylike decorum and refained nature, I forebore to do so. I averted my eyes from TCWTB who was no doubt driving. :-)

They all look like those people in early 19thC photographs when they all look at the new fangled stuff the photographer is holding.

A few years ago Portsmouth had a calendar where only one of the players was left by the end of the year..

Hadn't thought of that, but not being in the qualifiers will make quite a bit of difference in what they can do. Hope they don't overdo it though.

On a match day.

How about a dare. Pint to anyone who goes in the pub and innocently asks "How long has that sign been up for?"..

That's a bit tabloid, isn't it? Mind you, my opinion is that Saint Charlie is a bit that way..

Oh, Jimmy, you cruel thing. I suppose we have sink schools in the south as well.

Bit late for Pompey. Does that mean their cash flow is really quite healthy? /coylyinnocent/

Didn't see the game, but in this live guardian report the photo shows what great height he got for his goal: https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2016/may/29/barnsley-v-millwall-league-one-play-off-final-live

Perhaps Under Armour will pay! Anyway, despite being old enough to remember Keegan's arrival, I don't think it's going to be us, boys and girls.

I'm afraid skates are bottom feeders, and I don't think we'd want our players in the mud and fat of Fratton. Besides, where would they train?

Can't you use the phrase taken from (I presume The News' ) article: "the latest bid to escape League Two." :-)

One of my locals has their ale. Seconded.

I've had my credit card bill. :-(

"Mané would cost significantly more than the £20m earmarked for Götz" says The Guardian article. Indeed. "So you're not leaving for European football then, Sadio?"..
