Just a thought but 'Corporate Ho' sounds a bit like a Chinese businessman ! He has been missing from here for a couple of weeks now so maybe he is busy working on a deal ?? Personally I think that he has all the qualities to take them forward and maintain the entertainment level for a considerable period

Just watched it and I don't get the fuss, it seemed alright to me, just a little different to the normal advertising background board but no big deal !!

The turn of events yesterday has caused a bit of a 'mini crisis' (I say 'mini' as we are still top of the league) ! With Lambo banned and Guly injured (?) we now have lost a 25 goal partnership and with Fonte and Chaplow out too, our tough spine is badly affected ! Now more than ever we have to stay strong, stay together and stay Saintly ! There is nothing to be gained by fans negativity whether in the stadium or on messageboards, the only way forward is to get behind the team and the management and push us on to glory ! COYS.

The big factor which is missing on internet discussions is 'body language' ! If we were all down the pub having the same chat you can be assured that it would all be much more civilised ! It is so easy to isolate and highlight one part of a sentence (I've often done it myself!) and spread an argument completely out of the overall context ! Hell, I think I could even be mates with Alpine in the right situation, (well maybe, eh ??) Happy new year to one and all

Get a grip Alpine, nobody is unaware of the fact that we are having a difficult spell, but to suggest that NC and NA are sitting on their @rses finishing the last of the mince pies is ridiculous ! These guys have guided us to the top of the league and will do everything possible to stay there (do you honestly believe that they either don't care or are just plain useless ?)! And no, I cannot prove that they are working their b@lls off but plain common sense suggests that this is the case !!

TBH I haven't seen anyone say that we do not need reinforcements ! The argument against Alpine is that he reckons that nothing is happening behind the scenes and now that we have reached the 2nd of January it's already a bleeding disaster !

Yeah, I reckon she's got big t#ts as well

You are clearly more intelligent than the rest of us on here ! (or at least you think you are!)

I agree with all of this, it's just too easy to be critical on a blustery, wet night in a match which could have gone either way ! Ps. Happy New Year, Steve !

Positive mental attitude ! Exactly what is required by the squad and the fans !!

No news on this front at all at the moment ! I suppose all the billionaires are on their crimbo hols in Barbados ? There's always the young lad with the bankrupt dad though, if all else fails !!!!

Sh!t thread !

"Appleton is adamant he has not been instructed to sell off any of his players". "And while he admits every player has his price". "If people want to buy our players then I expect them to ring me first before anyone else". ‘Hopefully, I will be the first to know about it'. ‘I’m not daft enough to turn down ridiculous amounts of money'. "As it stands, his first-team squad consists of just 20 players". "Appleton added: ‘The size of the squad is a worry". Is it only me that has a feeling of deja vu and expecting another 'please feel sorry for us' period ???

Torsaint had the same problem and only just made the kick-off !

TBF, all this was said ahead of the away game at Cardiff and we only went and bl**dy lost !!!

The rule is that the merchandise should have been on sale at the original price for at least 6 weeks 'somewhere' within the organisation ! So if you buy a shirt shown as half price in Southampton it may well have been displayed for 6 weeks in Sunderland ! TBF, it is verging on sharp practise but most shops do it and it is not illegal !

I have a Tag Heuer, a Hugo Boss and a Mont Blanc. One is silver metal, one has a fine brown leather strap and the other a black strap which covers most occssions ! Ps. I am a poseur !

I can just see the headline in the Echo : "Saints manager in 'out on the town' scandal before the big match on boxing day" !

That was because the linesman flagged it as offside !

It is a bit of a 'catch 22' situation ! He probably needs a run of games and a settled position to prove himself, but if he does not shine when on for a few minutes as a sub then it's unlikely that he'll get a start ! From what I've seen so far, he has the attributes of pace and skill which we need, but until he has had a proper chance to prove/disprove it, we will never know !

They also charge £3.00 if you book online so you do the work yourself and basically then pay 3 quid for a stamp ! IMHO they should include all costs in the ticket price then there would be no discussion. You get what you see and you see what you get, in a clear and transparent way !!!

Business as usual : http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/great-matches/pompey_boss_keen_for_mattock_to_stay_1_3361272 No money, but looking to re-loan Thorne and bring in a few more as well (according South Today last night!)

Actual goals scored = fact ! I'm not sure how I managed to 'twist' this by saying : " You make a fair point here, Sharp has scored 1 goal more than Guly, Maynard has scored less and yet Guly is roundly criticised ! Must be a case of 'the grass is always greener' !! The context of my post was the comparison of players we know and others that we seldom see, that's all !! For the record, I'd be more than happy if we sign either Sharp or Maynard to add to what we've got, the benefit would be a stronger squad !

Should we not have a new thread for that one ??
