All the posts on here are bullsh!t, it depends what you do.

I think the statistical gems you are after are these... 1994/1995 - Championship - av attendance: 8,269 1995/1996 - Championship - av attendance: 9,407 1996/1997 - Championship - av attendance: 8,854 Basically when pompey have a boycott similar to ours their support drops to AFC Bournemouth levels.

They just showed a police chase on Sky, car chased by rozzers for ages, rammed police cars and other traffic, went wrong way up motorway almost causing pile up, got out and rucked with coppers - 16 months inside. Make a stupid post on facebook about riots - 4 years. Justice like that is not going to help anyone, it will give the moronic rioters more reasons to feel picked on and alienated. The kid who's gonna spend the next 4 years getting butt-raped might as well just right his life off. He will probably turn into a hardened crim which will help no one. We all want the idiots punished but kneejerk sentencing encouraged by hypocritical MPs is retarded.

You could always try comparing like for like. Last time we played Reading in the Championship the attendance was 20,142.

Good stuff, what the betting these new contracts have a hefty promotion bonus included. Makes sense - give the players a stake in the clubs future and they will work their asses off for the team. I like the way Cortese does this - the complete opposite of Lowe who used to wait until their existing contract was almost up just to save a few quid.

Some of the sentences have been barmy when compared to what rapists etc get. 4 years for posting on facebook is just plain wrong. It's amazing how swift and harsh the penalties are considering how long it took to get some MPs to trial and how soft they were treated.

Massive result, to respond like that after conceding twice is amazing.

I'm too young to have seen Rodrigues, I would say Jimmy Case is the best in my era. If anyone gave our young players any grief he would sort them out. Plus he always seemed to have a good relationship with the ref and get away with murder.

There is no way we will pay £6mill, Cortese is no mug. We've probably offered about 3-4, they say they want 6, Cortese knows he just has to sit and wait before they accept his offer because no one will pay £6mill.

What like the fragment of Shehzad Tanweer's shin bone found in Philip Duckworth's eye?

I like a good conspiracy theory but that is even worse than the 9/11 one. For starters Canary Warf is over 5 miles from St Cross, you can't go 5 yards in London without appearing on some form of CCTV. And Police can't just gun people down in London Docklands in broad daylight and not get noticed, especially on a day when everyone would be a nervous wreck after the bombings. bonkers

Are the schools any good around Shirley? Every time I drive through the place it looks full of chavs and srotes.

The 9/11 conspiracies are all obviously b*ll*x, I watched 2mins of that 7/7 one and turned off - could somone put their idea across in bullet points to save me wasting an hour of my life.

Bursledon/Hamble is nice if you want the outskirts. Some good pubs and you can go sailing with other posh people.

You are just getting carried away, we've won two Championship games, virtually every team that ever gets promoted has a honeymoon period. Were Blackpool one of the best teams in the prem because they were at the top after two games? To say this team is better than Strach's is laughable.

It's because the middle class have more than their fare share of greedy scum. If anything I expect a higher percentage of the middle class kids caught got were let off without charge. that's usually the case. The black council estate kid gets a truncheon over the head and chucked in the meat waggon, the middle class white kid gets told to go home to mummy and daddy or they'll be in trouble.

Exactly, even with respect to the league we're in, there is no way they are better than Strachan's 2003 team. If we reach the play-offs we can say were as good as Burley's side.

But if you say "best team in the last 20 years" but don't include the Prem teams you are talking b*ll*x. If you are ingnoring leagues/opposition and just going by stats you might as well say this is the best Saints team ever.

You are still talking b@ll@x.

LOL, calm down dear. We have won 2 Championship games. Strachan's side got to an FA Cup final and were 4th in the Prem at xmas 2003.

I still think he could do a decent job but what we need is a top quality partner for Lambert, preferably with pace. At the moment Connolly suits the job way more than Beattie would. I doubt Beattie would be happy as back-up for Rickie.

Is this Maynard any good, I've never heard of him.

I like his style of play, reminds me of Furguson's.

I do enjoy watching Starkey on Question Time, he does talk some sense. But sometimes he does talk a load of c*ck. He's not particularly wrong about the black culture thing but it doesn't have anything to do with the rioting IMO. The rioting was by chav sc*mbags, there just happens to be alot of blacks living in these scummy areas.

Didn't we go 19 games without a win after the Arsenal game?
