Quickest least disruptive route I would think is M27 - Tesco junction - Botley Road - Portsmouth Road - Itchen Bridge. Airport junction they'd have to close the link road, and to go over the Northam Bridge would mean either heading through Thornhill from Hedge End or once again from the Tesco junction. I'm assuming all this will get posted will in advance, being Easter Saturday I'm guessing that West Quay/IKEA will be making sure they're not disrupted.

First one on the bus three years ago, remember he turned down West Ham to stay with us. Huge statement of intent and commitment.

More likely scenario is Coventry having to beat us on the last day in order to send them down, whereas we need to beat them to secure the title...

Draw with a couple of reds each for violent conduct. **** guaranteeing promotion, I want to go up as champions. Be great to get Saints' name on that venerable old trophy. Regardlesss of what those two do I think we'll do it mind. Draw against Blackpool and then 3 wins will be enough.

I didn't join in with the "And now you've gotta believe us..." this afternoon. Too early for that, particularly with Reading bouncing back. Tough away game next week, possibly without Lambert, be happy with a point from that.

My partner has been through similar, losing a 3yo to cancer. Ten years on and she's still getting over it and I doubt she ever will. Its the one thing that should never have to happen a parent, I can't begin to believe how she's still here, her strength of character is inspirational and amazing. I wouldn't wish the loss of a child on my worst enemy, there is nothing worse in the world. What Billy has done is amazing but I hope we take care of him, it will get worse for him before it gets better.

A further report... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17469449 Having experienced this personally with my Dad who at the time was in his late 60s and had just had open heart surgery it makes me realise what a miracle it is that he's still with us. He also benefitted from the lucky coincidence that the person nearest to him when he collapsed was a medical professional - a senior casualty resus nurse who'd knocked off her shift early and was doing her shopping... I'm absolutely not religious but it's events like these that are basically inexplicable. It's the medics who should be paid the football salaries, not the players

Awesome. And with Wham and Reading having to play each other promotion is looking more likely. But **** that, I want us to win that trophy...

Impressed by Kevin Davies' role in this as club captain, comes across as a sensible normal bloke speaking from the heart very eloquently in the BBC interview. Can't be easy for him, but he's doing his job looking after his teammates.

Amazing reaction from the stands in the footage I've seen, proud to be a football fan today. I remember that sick feeling when that Plymouth? player was injured at SMS a few seasons ago and he didn't move for a few mins, fortunately he was just knocked out...

If you want to know what to do if this happens in front of you, watch this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILxjxfB4zNk&feature=youtube_gdata_player My dad is still here 7 years on from a cardiac arrest due to a member of the public knowing what to do until the ambulance arrived. He was down for 8 minutes, and his heart stopped three more times in the ambulance. Came out of it pretty much intact, Muamba is a fit young lad so fingers crossed he will be OK.

According to a mate his car was in the car park today - a chrome silver Mercedes Maybach. Ex Millwall chairman, wonder what that was about? He's got a few bob, possibly looking to buy in?

http://www.iglu.com have great deals on P&O at the moment -£650 each for an inside cabin for a 12- nighter

You might just scrape a Canaries Cruise for that - 12 days, loads of sun, all inclusive bar your bar bill. Drinks are cheaper than pub prices on P&O

In more recent times there was rivalry due to Southampton being a nationalised port under the NDLB whereas ports like Pompey & Felixstowe were outside the scheme and privately owned. As a result Southampton was heavily unionised and expensive and the private ports would undercut to take business away. Southampton was on strike a lot late 70s early 80s and so Southampton dockers saw Pompey dockers as being scabs for carrying on working. The old man's dislike for the blue few comes from then because he was a docker at the time, back in the 60s like many he would go to Fratton if Saints weren't at home and they were playing Man U/Liverpool etc.

Bloody awesome unless you're a Partizan fan (or of certain ethnicities or religions). Went with a mate a few years back who had a deal to photograph them for a book. Passion and noise were incredible, flares were bloody dangerous, and to make things worse Partizan won 4-2. An experience, like the away day at Steau. Part of football culture that's worth experiencing. Been to a Milan derby, Roma-Lazio, and Celtic-Rangers. Would love to do an El Classico, must look in to that.

The two goals to turn it around against Franchise were massively significant in our push for promotion last season. Pivotal momentum shifting moment.

Lol, he bent over and bared his arse Didn't he get thrown out of SMS for ****ing his pants?

How many have Schneiderlein, Cork, & Hammond scored? Win together, lose apart.

Fiat Coupe Turbo 20v. £5k of **** car. Awesomely fast, didn't handle, and was always broken

Cardiff win with lots of sending offs for violent conduct

Itchen Corner on sale at the window for Pompey - its not open for Donny so what they're doing is selling Itchen corner for Pompey and then you can have a ticket elsewhere for the Donny game. Only 3 or 4 deep queueing at 11am so worth popping down if you're local

I've lost far too much money betting on Micks horses

I'd like to win the league fair and square without their help, they'd bleat on forever how we only won the league because of hem. Oh hang on, they'd be dead, ha ha ha ha ha

6 years today since Osgood died, Mick is training a horse called Osgood, which happened to win its first race over hurdles today. Serendipity...
