Football is a funny game... Barnard scored the winner in that game, yet because it was such a surprise... Forte gets the attention!

Hope that isn't just empty rhetoric. If that truly is his attitude then my respect for him raises only further. There's time to party on retirement, when made for life.

To be controversial.... I would drop Rickie. --------------- Osvaldo ----------------- Lallana -------- Ramirez -------- Rodriguez -------- Wanyama --- Ward-Prowse ------ Shaw ----- Lovren ----- Fonte ----- Clyne ----------------- Boruc ------------------ Bench: K. Davis, Yoshida, Chambers, Schneiderlin, Mayuka, Rickie, Guly Rickie as the Plan B, Ramirez and Osvaldo should feed off each other beautifully, Lallana and Jay will provide the tricks out wide with Clyne and Shaw penetrating ruthlessly down the flanks (good lads!) The squad depth we have now gives us some excellent options. Lets start utilising them.

Can't see why you would want Barnard. He profitted from being in a good squad and at Bournemouth and Oldham he has looked very ordinary. When his contract expires (eventually) I could see him back at Southend, Freddy Eastwood style.

It always seemed bittersweet that players who it meant so much to never got the chance to play at Premier League level after promotion. Hamster and Sharp being the main examples. It's a ruthless business.

Good luck Hamster. Grateful for his time here, a good and professional servant and key part of our progress.

If we hadn't already guessed, the 'man' has no integrity.

Backtracking a bit now to Babylon 5. It was mentioned that the main actor from series one, Michael O'Hare who played the character Commander Sinclair left the series after alleged friction/issues with the rest of the cast. After his death in May, J. Michael Straczynski the series creator finally revealed why he left. Really quite sad.

Dissapointing. Four of the players there have been in first team action the last few days, the goalkeeper has been called up to the senior USA team, there is a central defender there with league experience at another club. Could a bit of complacency/arrogance be creeping in?

The Portsmouth line of information management. Say a lie often enough in the hope that they eventually believe you.

A toss up between him and Stephen O'Halloran for me. Signed purely to promote an u21 international happening at St Mary's.

Good lord that's vile!! Makes their last cup final strip look almost acceptable.

The statement at the bottom of Factless Allen's group share makes for quite bizarre reading. I would appreciate the input of someone who knows their way around financial matters.... My interpretation is that they are basically saying they can do whatever they (The PST) want with the money you have put in, if they decide against it then cannot claim back your cash.... cheers for the donation guys, it's ours to squander! P.S.... please give us more.

In the same way that Freddy Adu and once upon a time Kanu were quite young?

Duplicate

There could have been traces of the drug on their cases/clothes that would have been picked up by sniffer dogs. Better to seek advice rather then forfeit your freedom!

What bizarre behaviour! Obviously has a very large scouser sized chip on his shoulder.

They've put that as a front page article on their site and are discussing it sensibly. A real refuge of the damned! All credit to them for managing to maintain their sanity.

League Cup goals now beginning on SSN. Posh v Reading first up.
