Club accounts are due so soon will become apparent how our money situation is. Depending on how good they are will make it clear how important promotion is this season. i can see next season team if we fail to go up a lot weaker than this as the club adjusts to another season in the 2nd division . look at West Brom , 2 seasons ago we were fighting with them in the playoffs, now the parachute money has run out for them they a fighting to stay up . As we were only up for a season we get reduced parachute payments.

It would have made no difference we would still have Still in charge . And having that din in charge for 3 months is the reason we are playing catch up .

With regards to the free travel to Preston for a select few I see this as a direct try to put Nicks away coaches out if busnesss or at least reduce the amount of coaches they take . What’s the betting you’ll start to earn loyalty points for using club transport.

Yep, anyone wanting anything other than a Hull win is madness in my opinion. Catching Wrexham is going to be hard enough as it is .

You can blame that on Dragan and the clowns for appointing that dud Will Still.

To get in the playoffs we will have to out point Stoke City, QPR, Watford, Birmingham , Derby, Bristol City, Preston and Wrexham . 8 teams in 15 games something we haven’t done in 31 games. We are on a good run 10 points from 12 ( or 10 from 18 over 6 games.) but still 14th in the table. the lowest points to finish 6th in the last 5 season was 68 so we’d have to at very least maintain our current form (over 6 games) and hope 7 of those teams above us don’t. And that’s if 68 points will be enough- more and our task is even harder.

We aren’t in a play off chase.

Thank fuck this melt aint coming back .

I actually think we took a bit of a gamble spending £50 million odd on going up this season . Now that it’s obvious we’re not we need to get some money in . Come feb 2 nd at 7pm our squad is going to be a lot weaker . Yet some fans thought staying down here for another season was going to be good . next season will be even tougher with Wolves, Burnley and 1 off West Ham , Forest or possibly Leeds. Then you’ve got the likes of Birmingham and Wrexham who both will be strong. With Dragan and the clowns I can see us looking down rather than up next season .

That’s exactly what happed , the 1st banger this was thrown over the white tarpaulin about 11:45 ish cue a load of Saints fans chucking their plastic beer glasses at the pompey fans the other side. This wasn’t in the stand but by the toilets / concourse as you 1st came in. then the exact same type was thrown in the 2nd half at the saints fans. It’s no surprise they are claiming it wasn’t them - just another myth. I actually love seeing us at Fratton. The locals fucking hate us so much you can see the anger in their faces and how much just being there winds them up.

This is going to be an utter shit day. Get to St Mary’s for7:30 get on the double decker bus and probably get to fratton by 9;30 . Stand around in the cold for 2 1/2 hours and if we are lucky pay £6 for a pint in a plastic cup . Get fucking dicked 2, 3 or even 4 nil and we won’t be able to fuck off to the pub, made to stay in the ground with them tossers taking the piss. Get back to St Mary’s probably about 5 throughly pissed off.

Of course not, just like any other meeting they have. no one from FAB asks what the wider fan base thinks. Nothing on Facebook, instagram, twitter ( x now ) on any of the 3 saints forums I’m aware of. What ever they want to bring up it’s just this small groups opinions and not the wider fan base. I seem to remember when this FAB crap came out those that got onto the board reckoned they represented various fans. What bullshit that turned out to be.

Watch him now go and have a blinder for the rest of the season and get Stoke into the playoffs . You just know it’s going to happen.

Have you fallen for the Sport Republic spin we can’t compete in the top league? What happens if we start to struggle in the championship , do we settle for mid table league 1 ?

What happened to all those that were saying the championship is fun and staying down this season is a good thing ?

We ain’t going down this season, we will get enough points to stay up . Obviously helped by the fact there are only 2 relegation places this season . But that’s the same for small clubs like Portsmouth and Oxford- 1 of them may also stay up.

Have to agree with you here, Scienza has been great for us and has been our best player so far . However we are a mid table championship club and I can’t see many PL clubs coming in for him .

A tough game against play off chasing Millwall. They showed when they beat as The den they are well organised and a tough side to play against. They may get the better of us again .

Personally I thought we let him go a season too soon ( if we had a choice ) . We could have done with him in our 22/23 relegation season. ( along with the striker that Dragan and the clowns thought better off) I definitely don’t agree that his standards / form was on a decline in his last season with us. I also think we brought him back a season to late ( again if bring him back last season was an option) I was one of the few that had reservations about bringing him back - even in the league below where he played all his games for us . From what I’ve seen so far is argue when Charles is fit then he doesn’t even make our bench for me.

Can see a shock result here to be honest a fighting 1-1 or 2-2 draw or even a 2-1 win.

Agree Dragan is the chief clown, who is responsible for all the other clowns he’s appointed. He’s done just as much damage as Lowe did ( arguably more) yet no songs get sung about him .

It’s all very well saying sell or loan so and so, the thing is Aribo had all summer to find a club and no fucker wanted him the same with Edozie.

Just like when the loons appointed Still , it’s when and not if Tonda gets the sack. Can’t see them sacking the dud till the end of the season when they’ll dress it up as an agreed parting of the ways.

I like your optimism for thinking we are going to get 2nd, it will be hard enough to get into the playoffs.

But they shouldn’t go unused for away games when some fans are missing out. If the sponsor doesn’t want them then put them back on sale to fans . How many they get is another argument and the club should come clean , for the game at fratton it look like at least over 500 were held back.
