I thought some clubs were able to give season tickets away for free and still make more money with the tv revenue increase next season.

Can't really tell from that video, but Hooiveld, Schneiderlin and Lambert were all joining in with OWTS, loud and proud. Was great to see.

July 4th 9am.

The under 21s Euro Finals are on this summer, I'd assume they'll be shown on sky.

I hate comments like that. If he hadn't been playing, someone else would have been - and we have no idea how many that other person could have scored. Maybe they'd have even got us the couple of extra points that would have seen us safe.

F*cking hell! That's mental.

...Sorry, I don't understand how that's relevant to my post?

In which case time for these other interested parties that Cortese was talking about to step up.

And this seasons award for totally missing the point goes to...

I love the fact that Green is a rip off on a free

Unless renewals next season go on the same card, of course.

And that ladies and gents, is exactly why he hasn't done interviews in English. The press would have crucified him and Cortese if he'd stumbled over his words like that on Match of the Day.

In fairness he was voted Boros young player of the season for 12-13 whilst there on loan. He's obviously done something right. And even if he does leave Chelsea, it doesn't mean he's not good enough. Jack Cork is proof of that.

What if they had played their league game on the saturday and still lost? Would we have succeeded in staying up with a hard fought point, or would it still have been down to their failure? The fact is that once we had all played the same amount of games, we were mathematically safe. WE got ourselves those points. WE succeeded.

Depends what you mean by that doesn't it. If you're on about succeeding United style then yes. But if you're on about getting to where WBA are for example, then don't forget that after beating us 3-0 they went and lost 4-0 to Norwich. Not exactly doing it week-in, week-out. The fact of this league is that there are teams in the top half of the table who have still lost more games than they have won. If we had a season where we won more games than we lost - now that would truly be a remarkable achievement.

I never said he was, and I don't think we would have to break the bank. I would only be happy about signing him for £4-6million and on a lot lower wages than has been reported. Also, he didn't take Blackburn down, he left them well before the end of the season.

Samba was excellent at Blackburn. He's certainly better than any of our CBs.

Players I'd be happy if we signed from the relegated clubs; Maloney, Kone, McManaman, Samba. Apart from that maybe take a chance on Taarabt and Alex Pearce, who I feel haven't fulfilled their potential. For those saying we don't need players in Maloneys position...we play 3 AMs basically, and have Ramirez, Lallana, Davis, Puncheon and Rodriguez who challenge for them. Beyond them it's the likes of De Ridder. I can't see us going for anyone of the relegated players though, doesn't seem like Pochettinos style for some reason.

I think Fonte is adequate back up, especially considering he'll be on relatively low wages compared to other defenders, but i really hope hooiveld is moved on next season. Can see him going to one of the failed play off teams.

Gtfo.

Sunderland was decent, free park and ride for 2 hours before and after kick off.

Bless, two Pompey fans have voted "no" in the poll

Glasgow is trolling.

But the direction came from the Chairman. It didn't come from the Liebherr trust, or even Markus himself when he were still with us. By all accounts he actually had very little to do with the running of the club.

Well unless you're saying Cortese has lied on camera, yes we do know it's happened. And I'm not saying they'd go along with it but if they're presented a story like this as fact from someone they believe to be trustworthy, then of course they're going to go public with it.
