#saintsfc team v Stoke: Forster, Clyne, Fonte, Aldeweireld, Bertrand, Schneiderlin, Cork, S Davis, Tadić, Mané, Pellè
Tough challenge today. Win or draw takes us second!
From memory our last 4 games with Stoke have been draws, suspect it will be close again today. Narrow win for us or a draw I reckon.
I expect to see Big Vic and Mane to start.
Can't wait for the Rallyboy critique of this:

Understated, consistent and integral. Easily the most articulate and interesting of the players I met at the awards dinner. Said at the time he was happy here and family settled etc.
Great news all round.
Ashamed to admit I once took part in a training session with Pompey under the care of Alan Ball at Moneyfields.
It doesn't seem as if they have improved their facilities in the 25 years that have since past. In comparison the Staplewood facility seems to have been transformed a fair bit.
I must have missed them all make an impact whilst I was watching Shaw, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Chambers break onto the international stage. Or are they going to pick out the losers like Gareth Bale who didn't make it to the World Cup.
You have to be blinkered or a moron to suggest the Reading academy is better than ours.
Oops, fire up the Villan meter
Goal!Goal! Portsmouth 0, Mansfield Town 1. Simon Heslop (Mansfield Town) right footed shot from outside the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by Rakish Bingham.
Buy an old banger and park it plumb in front of their drive. When they complain do your deal.

The repayment schedule may have had a high rate of interest, and paying it early may have brought down the overall cost.
Then again this is Pompey, so I imagine they screwed the creditors again.
