Seems very much to be the 'Pompey Online' of Saints message boards! A place the extremists are sent to fester.

When the Cortese/Le Tissier dispute first came to light a while ago I decided to have a word with a few mates back home about it. Season ticket holders and fans but not users of sites like this and with other things to worry about on Saturday afternoon then watch Jeff Stelling when not at the match. They were totally unaware of what had happened and frankly didn't care. The issue is obviously there but is being heightened only in forums such as this and in the more fanatical elements of the fanbase. To 90%+ of Saints fans, this is a non-issue. And from a personal perspective, statements along the lines of Cortese is a 'Devil' need quantifying! Second hand rumour doesn't cut it when judging a situation where both sides are in dispute but on the whole silent regarding the specifics.

This.

Just have to add. That orgasm when Torres scored against Barcelona in injury time .... comedy highlight of last season.

There have been hints at something a bit more revolutionary happening, something about being less conservative with the design this time. Probably why it's crucial that Miles Jacobson (SI MD) is involved with the unveiling and have been given time to resolve his personal circumstances.

I had my reservations regarding the Shop steward, but his utterly professional manner has shone through in his punditry. An intelligent and articulate man who offers genuine tactical insight and provides an entertaining unbiased perspective. Glad he's involved with the England set up.

Without Nicola Cortese there would have been no Markus Leibherr in the first place, he recommended the club to him! It's amazing how many people overlook this. Is Cortese perfect? No, no-one is, but without him we may well have ceased to exist. As for the terrible story about what he did to le Tissier, if it truly is as bad as is said it must surely be told!

Potential in the young one there is....

Barney to take the first penalty. Boo's ringing round. HAHAHAAA. He missed! Typical!!

The Bournemouth Team: 01 Jalal 02 Francis 03 Cook 13 Elphick 24 Addison 08 Arter 12 Fogden Booked (Pugh - 85' ) 16 MacDonald 17 McQuoid (Barnard - 68' ) 26 Hughes Booked 22 Grabban

It's Barnard at Bournemouth, not Chappy.

Haha. Time to use Skate logic. The Scummer has just drawn the Derby level.

Our past v our present and future. They all need to grow up.

How many bestest ™ there tonight?

Indeed. He has form for this... the accident off the start at Monaco springs to mind. He needs a race to cool off, surprised Maldonado hasn't been on the end of similar sanctions too.

His physique.... a lot of load on a human heart...

To the tune of 'Just Can't get Enough' He Came from Crystal Palace and barely cost a dime Our Nathaniel Clyne, Our Nathaniel Clyne He Get the ball he takes the p*ss he does it all the time. Our Nathaniel Clyne, Our Nathaniel Clyne And when you see him surging down the right, he's mighty fine he's our Nathaniel.... Do-do, do. do. dooo do do..... etc....

One word: Chiroprator. I did my back on a rowing machine and was told by a Doctor to rest and take anti-inflammatories. Was on the verge of signing me off work for 3 months. Went to see a local Chriopractor, he conducted an examination, got 'cracking' (very weird feeling....) and I was up and about within days.

Injured to avoid international duty I suspect.

We shall see.

Sharp's replacement is Mayuka. Owen would be a surprise.

Cody Cropper? The u21 released by Ipswich? Odd window this, and we are in the thick of it. Good times.

I would be very surprised.

Sharps already gone.... Hamster wouldn't be a surprise.

We have spent more then QPR....... Gobsmacked.
