He's probably thinking, isn't it great to play before large crowds which are higher than most Serie A teams get..

Professor, are you taking the ****? Really? I'm a very supportive person, but when I read the crap you write, compared with what we know about Pulis it's very easy for me to get cynical; more about you than Pulis,.. and that should really worry you!

Don't worry, few of us take Turkish seriously, even if he has his occasional decent point to make. I must admit when I saw the thread title I wouldn't really like to say who immediately came to mind.;-)

Thanks guys for all the reports: they sound promising. So promising, in fact, that I've just been looking at my diary (and my bank balance:-( ) for the beginning of May! Will I have to make it for then, or for a Wembley play-off final??

Cackle...

Nope, it's obviously plucking eyebrows that does it!

Well, akturlly I've been plucking me eyebrows, which will make anyone that know this woman footballer chuckle. But, hey, even I object to looking like Dennis Healey. It's still sod the kitchen though! Mind you, if I thought it would get us a goal I might even...

Stop tempting fate, guys!

BBC gives Saints as 63% possession.

Yep, I'm off to do some music practice and ignore my filthy kitchen...

Don't think you've grasped how our justice system works.. I can see us getting quite a few, or losing 1-0.

No, there's a few of us...

no, I'm shy

..um, no match thread?

You forgot 'Still getting massive crowds in the championship', so obviously a lot rosier than you make out. Oh. PS: PES, we aren't bleating, we're just chuckling to ourselves in fascinated amazement. The bleating, from what I've seen, comes from the Portsmouth message boards...

That genuinely made me laugh out loud. Weston has given a summary why..

So as an example, headline from today's guardian "Manchester United have posted record losses of £83.6m despite a group operating profit of £100.8m". In that one statement you can see why their fans don't like the Glazers, but also why Pompey are a completely different kettle of fish..

Can you think of another theory??:-)

Jeez, poor Stockport must be desperate. Presumably he comes pretty cheap...

Hope to help. Just off to play footie, or at least warm the bench and enjoy the view in the changing rooms. Give my love to Turkish!

I don't think you understand jokes...

I went last season.:-( Mind you, I had to get the train to and from the local friends I was staying with and I can heartily recommend the station pub.:-)

How many books have been published about Bournemouth? I'll lay you a Duncan, a Dave Bull, a Dave Juson, a Gary Chalk etc. (apologies, mind's gone a blank) that what's been published about Southampton far outstrips any for Bournemouth and reflects our long history and the deep involvement of our fans through thick and thin. Bloomin' eck, we've got a whole publishing imprint dedicated to Saints books. Plus an ex Southampton footballer started organised football in Brazil...

Deppo, that's naughty...

I'm with this. An article quoting Rooney said more or less the same in yesterday's Guardian: play yourself to form. My signing on came through yesterday and I came off the bench today. Made space but then missed an open goal, had so much time but I'm just worried about performing and hit it over the bar... so I can empathise with RL.
