Lee On Solent Saint

Trouble is, we buy these players from lightweight leagues. such as Switzerland and Belguim and expect them to be world-beaters. Ely really showed his level in Scotland, flattered to deceive for a few games before going back to type. Diallo, at the time was claimed to be the new Oriel, he's nowhere near that level, and likely never will be. Our recruitment has truly been shit since the Koeman days.

Agreed. Brentford had fuck all to play for, but still competed brilliantly against Everton,who needed a result. Same with Newcastle on Monday night. This lot are just not interested anymore.

Ralph - "We tried our best" For fucks sake

The reaction at the final whistle will be very interesting

Is this any worse than how Puell played us?

Feels like a matter of time

Why bother playing Broja? He's not going to be here next season.

Another Branfoot bright idea, alongside Paul Moody

Seems to suggest that Henderson must be on the move

I'd get rid of Adam Armstrong and Tella as well to be honest. Haven't seen anything from either of them to suggest they can make a contribution.

Am sure he can be Pompey's marquee signing this summer

Don't have a problem with him saying it, but if you are saying shit like that, you really need to be good enough to say it. Forty five minutes of cup football against a Championship side suggested that he has a lot of work to do before he even gets close to competing for a squad place.

Sounds like a Billy Big Bollocks character to me. Least he is honest enough to admit he was shit in the cup game. Nowhere near first team with us yet.

But imagine the massive confidence lift they would get if they did beat Chelsea? It's not impossible to think that Chelsea aren't going to fancy it that much with a cup final in a few days time

For us to be even talking about relegation after looking so comfortable in February time is a testament to how bad things have got. Pretty miserable when you consider we could finish below Everton, who when we beat them at St Marys were the worse side I'd seen us play all season.

Report in the Sun stating that Bournemouth are looking at Henderson. That would be depressing if he ended up there. Exactly the sort of keeper we need

Always been impressed with Huddersfield when I've watched them this season. Maybe the guy there is being looked at?

Have to play five across the back or five across the middle. Two up top will just be mental.

Everton won more games than us now

Lampard's Chelsea connection is going to keep them up by the look of it

Your right I don't know. But like most of us on here ,I can take an educated guess.

So you post this table and still don't think that we have no money?? Don't spout out the predictable horseshit that we don't know what these new owners will bring. We do. Same as Gao. Absolutely nothing.

Personally, I don't think we have any money. Totally dependent on League positions and we have funked that up. Not sure what kind of fee Salisu will command given that he has been bollocks for a few months now.

If you believe that is the case why then bother to question it?? You are fuckin deluded if you think this lot are bringing any extra money to the table.

Ok. Let's see who's right on 1st September then shall we?
