As I genuinely have a PO post code - (even if out in the salubrious countryside) I suppose I should do the survey... Incidentally, I see it'll soon be 1914, and then all over by Christmas, I presume?..

b****r off! :-)

Not a bad fantasy as fantasies go.. I'm going to change our scorers to Cork and Shaw...

Apparently Carroll, can trap a ball further than I can pass it! Still useful not to have him playing though, given WH's style: like athletic pub football, one awkward cuss who bullies the opposition with his size or is very fast, with the ability to actually control a ball occasionally confusing everybody.

Well, they certainly won't object to the current redevelopment then, will they?

Don't do it, goatboy! He'll only satyrize you...

ˈ/pɔərtsməθ/ ? I think that should be /ˈpɔərtsməf/

Was Alpine on the match day thread? /whistles innocently/

Is it safe to comment yet? A bit peed off as I went to the same pub as the last Sunderland away game with the same disappointment that we didn't perform well, so I went on to another pub in the village to console myself and didn't bother to log on afterwards. But without bothering to read them it looks like there has been 11 pages of meltdown, and I can guess the content of many posts. That team could have won, but we do seem to get caught by long range shots. Pity Lambert looked so out of sorts and until later on there didn't seem to be much urgency about our game. Anyway, I'm over it now, and looking on the bright side, good to see another academy debutant.

Indeed: a getleman and the sort of player you'll only see once in a Preston Guild.

I'll bear that in mind! The whole route was more interesting than the A6 to Paris: came across from Mont Blanc/Nantua/B-en-B/Macon etc. Then it was "oh look, vineyards" and little villages called Pouilly and Sancerre and the like.. :-) A lot cheaper in tolls and petrol too. Somebody above has been casting aspersions on your opinions, but I'm sure you recommended Lovren!

Went past there Monday as I came back cross-country from the Alps (it's the one Nevers way I presume!), and I could even hear kids training in the ground by my motel further up the Loire, but you don't get the impression it's a football country. Silly impression, I know, but maybe it's the spread-out nature of the country and population, plus the various sport alternatives available. No doubt in the banlieus it's a bit different.

More stringent financial rules 'n all, as I understand...

I've played on the Farlington pitches; a bit prone to Be waterlogged. Actually, come to think of it, the same applies to Bartons Road: used to kickabout there when was a public park. So they should feel right at home in the mud..

I've read most of it and still confused.. Anyway, not long to wait before I get to see the mighty Magpies* play at FP, and I look forward to the return at York Road and a good excuse to visit me mum.. *[Maidenhead United]

Ta! Facts! Obviously interesting game but which game(s)...

What's happening ffs? Stuck up a mountain with only old mobile phone, reading this thread and not having a clue. Come on, more updates...

Smug git!;-)

I think they're talking about scraping the rent together for the Uni of Portsmouth ground they're using.

FA cup final this year? ;-)

This thread still has the capacity to make me chuckle, and even more negatively snig ger, although the stupid swear checker doesn't allow it. But GM's post hasn't been doubted and greeted with much surprise: all the questions were for elucidation. I think that says a lot about the situation, don't you think?

In a local pub in a village near Portsmouth and I think it's a 4 pint job.. Compliments for the first goal from a couple of pompey fans who went off to their match. No idea who they're playing.. Good football but id prefer a 2 goal margin. Early on in the game I had a moment of panic when I thought I should be at st marys: we looked like the home team and Sunderland come for a point...

After a boring first half the game suddenly got exciting..
