I'd be tempted to swap two Pompey tickets (stadium) for two Brighton tickets as long as you have your Brighton tickets in hand.

Still a bit mythed that Nige claimed we would only buy players who would be an improvement on what we've got and yet we still find De Ridder and Fox struggling to hold down a place in the side. I think De Ridder is fantastic, but if Nige isn't confident in starting De Ridder and Fox at this stage, you've got to wonder whether they've turned out how he expected them to or whether they're still adapting.

You can get an inflatable fish that's over 20" long on amazon for about £3.

**** poor ... in fact!!!!

Utterly ****ed off with this. Didn't even know they were on sale yet. The fact they sold them in six hours suggests a ballot would have been fairer but of course the ticket office couldn't care less as they long as they sell them. Can't understand the total overreaction about how to allocate tickets for and police the Pompey game and that a complete free for all for Brighton. Odd.

Utterly rubbish reporting. With relations between the club and the Echo what they are, I'd think the Echo would be the last people to know if the club was suffering financially.

From where i was sat in the kingsland, his "link up play" wasn't great, his work rate wasn't great either. I remember one incident in the second half where he actually chased the opposition and put in a tackle, and he got decent round of applause from everyone to try and actually encourage him. In fact, his attitude was shocking last night if his body language was to be believed. If a pass didn't fall straight to his feet, numerous times he was giving it verbally to a team mate or shrugging his shoulders to excuse his lack of effort in reaching the ball. He wound me up something rotten last night and I certainly think a game on the bench would give him a vital wake up call. Out of his goals, many of them are simple tap ins etc and these certainly don't detract from the overall poor performance and attitude he is displaying on the pitch.

Interesting post. Not sure why you got the usual "ffs" moan from some. Good to try and put our progress in some sort of context, no matter how hypothetical.

TBH I thought the biggest idiots last night were the ones who gave Guly a standing ovation when he was finally substituted.

yep, bloody odd! Odd that the interviewer kept going and going. The BBC is into rubbernecking now almost as much as Sky News etc

stop moaning you utter bunch of girls.

Applecare?

If we're signing a striker on an emergency loan because we don't have enough strikers, we're not going to send one of our remaining strikers out on loan!

TBF, he is partially struggling to explain himself because he's not speaking in his native language. I hate the bloke and disagree with his point of view, but the language barrier hasn't helped him.

Reading some of the anomalies on here, it really calls the credibility, or even the very existence, of the FM researchers into doubt.

If I find spotty oiks who haven't been to any away games get a ticket by fiddling the system, and I don't get one after making the effort to go to 5 away games, I will be more than annoyed.

Don't they let four year olds into SMS?

Is good on FM11. FACT.

Can't we just shout "STEEEEEVE?". Sounded awesome at Coventry, especially when he scored. At that point, more people were shouting "STEEEEEVE" than cheering I reckon. Shouting the player's names when they are on the ball also helps the blind, because they can follow the action more easily.

I went and it was a good afternoon's entertainment. To be honest, I thought the standard of football was poor; it was certainly poorer than I had expected, and I have watched some non-league stuff before (Morecambe in the Conference and bits and pieces of Eastleigh). As far as I can remember all (or most) of Totton's 2nd half goals came from getting the ball out to the wide left player, him beating his man (admittedly, nicely done at times) and putting a decent ball in to the box. Time and time again Bradford had three 'defenders' in the box, not marking anyone, and they were beaten by an incoming Totton player to the ball. I was shocked by how aggressive and physical the game was, both in a positive and negative sense. It was good to see the level of energy, enthusiasm and commitment, but Bradford were certainly a filthy side who fouled Totton time and time again. One of the Bradford coaches was a bit of character as well. Just before half time I heard him moaning that, "We've come all this way, we're losing 3-1 to a bunch of ****heads and now they've nicked one of our balls." The ground was straining to deal with the number of people they let in; not surprising really when their website claims that the ground will be licenced for "close to 2000" spectators and yet they admitted over 2300. Of course they want their pay day, but it made getting food and drink difficult and using the bog a near on impossibility at half time.

Do they? Why? Why would you do that?

They ARE using the Solent Blue double deckers. Have heard from somebody working for Solent Blue thanks to a mutual twitter friend.

I don't get it. Why is the guy sitting in a parking space with his engine running?
