Gone from sublime to ridiculous ! Until a few weeks ago we heard only muffled sounds but yesterday the level was like a Status Quo concert in the 70's ! TBF, I could just about live with the Beatles and the Who but the other stuff was in excruciating ! Cannot be beyond the wit of man to strike the right balance so please take note Saints PR department !

Oops

I'm sure that no Skate will get upset by this post as they will not understand a word of it ! "Wot wif all them big words 'n that, innit !"

Puel emphasised in his after match interview 2 things : Concentration and intensity. It is not physical tiredness per se, it is the ability to maintain your highest level as the games come thick and fast ! I mentioned earlier that Thurs/Sunday matches have taken their toll on league positions for most teams in the past and we do not seem to be an an exception ! Noticeable also how well Chelsea and Liverpool are doing without any European involvement ! Keep the faith !

He's been around with the usual drivel but has had a lot of competition tonight ! If you fancy trawling through this thread then I suggest that you keep a bottle of vodka by your side or even a few happy pills cos you sure as hell are gonna need them

Disappointing that we dominated the game but lost ! History tells you that playing on Sunday following a Europa league match on Thursday has an effect. Newcastle, Everton, Fulham and Swansea all suffered, Wigan and Birmingham were actually relegated ! Anyone who expects a top six finish as well as reasonable cup runs is (IMHO) way overly optimistic ! The manager and players are doing their best but given that we are playing up to 3 times a week we have to be realistic ! No doubt we will have high spots and low spots in the coming months and I can live with that ! Unfortunately the overreaction on this forum to any defeat can be embarrassing (verging on moronic !) and really gets me down at times, I suppose I should ignore it but for some reason I keep coming back ! Grrr....

Beaten by a better side today but with even their reserves being £30 million (ish) players, there is no disgrace in that ! This result will not define our season so best we move swiftly on to the Inter match on Thursday ! COYS

From the video he still looks like a raw talent, a talent nonetheless. Perhaps with pompey's training and facilities we can hone those ! Read more at: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/pompey/j-lowe-set-to-arrive-on-block-as-pompey-dream-comes-true-1-7652252? :):)

2/10

"The 4 goal striker is a firm Fratton favourite" ! Nice to see they set the bar so high

To be even more fair, our 4 away games against Man U, Man C, Arsenal & Leicester were all teams who finished in the top 5 last year and WHU were 7th so you couldn't get much more difficult than that ! If you assume that we have a better chance of home points against bigger teams then the 2nd half of the season bodes well ! I realise that we dropped silly points v Watford and Sunderland but Puel had not yet settled in by then so may be excused for that IMO !

Can't believe that Clasie is getting stick (from some !) because he really did well today ! His booking was harsh as he clearly got the ball. He then he had to tread carefully but still kept winning the ball and probing with through balls ! I reckon that he is a 'players player' and that they recognise his contribution even if some posters on here cannot see it !

Positives : 1) Puel's selection and tactics. 2) Non first picks - Martina, Yoshida, McQueen and JWP all play well. 3) No fear, took the game to big name opposition. Negatives : 1) Spurn too many chances. 2) SWF trolls back as usual cos we lost ! COYS

I'm a bit disappointed to hear that it was sporadic around the stadium, I sit in block 29 (towards the chapel end) and it was absolutely clear as a bell for the first time ever, we even talked about it whilst listening to her so I am not imagining it ! Maybe they turned something around which was good for some but negative for others ! Ah well, maybe some day......

I don't know if many of you noticed but the system now is working properly (hurrah ) For the first time you could actually hear the lovely Kenzie word for word ! Progress.... a long time coming but let's celebrate !

Tadic and Redmond tore them to shreds but Davis and Clasie were unsung heroes !

I think that this is the main purpose of the 'diamond' and shows that it was probably worth persisting with it ! Fair do's to Claude for sticking to his guns and making it work ! Must be difficult for the opposition to figure out what is going to happen in advance ! COYS

Good stream that, Ive noted it for the future ! Cut out a few times but very clear picture and probably the best Ive had for a while ! Tks, GIG

Shouldn't you be staying at home to comfort and care for her ? :)

Not really, still joint top with only 5 teams ahead of them !

Is a 'foot scout' some sort of fetish ???

There have been a few comments about a 'hostile' atmosphere ! I've just had a text from a mate who is there right now and he says that the natives have been really friendly and he ghas had a great trip so far !
