To be fair they've got about 125 years of catching up to do. Rumour has it out fans were quiet as church mice at the 1902 FA Cup Final replay. Servants and workhouse kids couldn't get the day off, too many Ladies (with accompanying ladies-in-waiting) and venison pie brigade and apparently no-one knew we hated Pompey back then so we had no songs.

We did it to Hoddle we can do it again is it right, if we don't concede in the first 25 minutes we set a new club record for away clean sheets?

Reluctantly transferred Adams out of my Fantasy team today. Past experience means we can now expect a man-of-the-match hat-trick performance from him tomorrow.

Even weirder it was originally posted by a WestHam fan. Although is bio says he's engaged to a girl with the same surname so maybe he has Portsea connections.

Not to mention placing cheeky online insurance bets mid-game

Lovely goal .... but I can imagine back in the dressing room RH giving him a bollocking . WTF was a right back doing there?

In Eisner's first get together with his new board he asked why they weren't playing their great rivals Southampton more often and suggested creating a new cup that they could compete against each other for every season:mcinnes: True story.

We've now reached that time of the day as kick off approaches when my mindset changes from "It's just another game" to nervous anticipation and a "we have to smash them " attitude.

Got to a first for this place - unanimous on this week's scapegoat. RH has to take the blame for this one. Any PL match, let alone one with the chance to go third, is *not* the time to be experimenting. Even more so after he saw how quickly he needed to change things last week. Hopefully he is now clear in his mind on one thing. However he *wants* to play, he needs to accept that with current personnel our best defence is Cedric/Valery Yoshida Bednarek Bertrand and they should be starting every game when fit. And unless the opposition tactics deliberately restrict the forward runs of the 2 full backs, that's still one of our best attacking options too.

Why would anyone need resting? 8pm Friday > 7.45pm Tuesday (possible pens but no extra time, in a game we should win in second gear) > 3pm Saturday. Even the traveling time for the 2 aways is pretty minimal. If they can't manage those 3 games without needing a rest (genuine injuries aside) they really shouldn't be playing at this level.

Hey this is Saints we're talking about. I'd feel safer at 15-0 up with 6 minutes to play.

Saw Pompey supporting friend last night. He's not bothered getting a ticket as he can't bear to watch us thrash them. His prediction 4-0 to us. Guess they're not all deluded after all.

I was listening to 606 on Saturday, they were insisting the opposite, that Premier League has decreed the flag *should* be raised for offside but the referee won't whistle for it unless it's obvious. Guess we'll all get the hang of it eventually.

But surely they all burn up those excess calories roaring on their team, singing their hearts out and making SMS that intimidating fortress that opposition players and fans alike fear to enter. Then again ......

Neither of them have PayPal so they couldn't order a new one from EBay

The original delay anouncement stated it wasn't UA's fault( nor SFC not the sponsor) but a third party issue, and again this was reiterated at the recent forum. Maybe these cheap ones on offer are the real deal but we're "intercepted" whilst being delivered. Can't think what 3rd party apart from the shipping company could be responsible for a delay

I'm pretty sure he'll be in demand at some point by many but my point was I'm not so sure he'd be that interested. His comment that even with unlimited funds his ideal purchase would be Mbappe 5 years ago (not now) gives the impression he's more interested in "projects" than simply playing financial fantasy football. Probably I'm wrong, almost certainly it's wishul thinking but I get a different feeling from RH than any previous manager since LMac that he intends being here a long time.

For once I'm not so sure. That answer he gave to the stupid question about who would he sign if he had unlimited funds - "Kylian Mbappé five years ago" - just strikes me that we no have a someone who actually sees himself in charge of a long term project and not one of the usual journeyman/stepping-stone/in-it-for-the-money types. Much as I thought MoPo and RK were great, I never felt they were anything other than here till they're offered something better comes along type appointments. No doubt it's a bit of wishful thinking but I really get the feel that RH and SFC are the perfect match and he's here for the long haul.

Remove that awful sash and make their badge symmetrical with the Umbro logo and that would be a pretty decent shirt. Area covered by the sponsors logo definitely looks too big (but difficult to judge as no-one AFAIK has ever had a diagonal one before, and after seeing this never likely too again). And what's with the full stop? Or does .com carry on over the shoulder?

That's him halfway down that mountain in the background. He's so keen this year he's done a second lap of the cross country run while the others pose for photos.. Look closely though, he IS smiling.

Hands up, me too. Even when he left I thought he was over-rated. To me his running with the ball always looked more accidental than skill (bit like Woody's description of Buzz Lightyear "that's not flying, that's falling with style" ). Happy to admit how wrong I was.

Surely that's not going to stop you. Not after all your skills learned on HERE

Two WWC matches in a row with not a single interruption for VAR ( both had at least 2 incidents that would have been referred earlier in the tournament). Has FIFA been reading this thread and sent out an unofficial edict to stop ****ing about with it ? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Was that Les Reed's bald bonce appearing several times last night at the England Woman's game when the camera was focusing on Beckham? If it was he had FA blazer/tie on, what's his role there now?

Think average "action" time is 59 minutes, so even 30 minutes each way should see more football than we do now
