Apologies if someone has already asked the question but why does "We have terminated our contract with Adidas" automatically translate to "We're going to make our own kit"? Couldn't "We're going with a different manufacturer" also be a valid outcome? p.s. I'm not fussed about stripes per se. I quite like red being our more predominant colour.

Fair point m' lady

No, he was the chap who bought the glue (on behalf of Madam Liebherr)

Surprised by the decision. Didn't look deliberate to me. Hey ho

brian howe ‏@brianhowe01 Pompey development team is being scrapped.We can't buy players for three years so let's also cut our supply of young players coming thru. #runningourclubintotheground Well done the Portsmouth Trust.

Done

Stoke are currently 6-1 to beat us. That's gotta be worth a disappointment insurance bet.... http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/southampton-v-stoke/winner?selectionname=stoke-3-0

John Cross ‏@johncrossmirror On Talksport @sportsbreakfast tomorrow with Danny Kelly, Neil Warnock @martinkeown5, Jay Rodriguez, Avram Grant. I'm on paper review at 7am.

You can't get any higher than "top 6"....

10,000 is a perfectly acceptable way to represent 100,000 on this thread...

Same starting line-up for me. Wanyama needs more match time and great to have the option of Cork and Clyne off the bench if Stoke prove to be as stubborn as Fulham were in the first half yesterday.

Did I really just stay up until 01:16 to watch 'highlights' of the Pompey game on the Football League show? Even the abandoned game at Accrington was higher in the running order. And it's goodnight from me...

Match of the Day ‏@BBCMOTD Check out the #MOTD team of the day, which is dominated by Southampton and Sunderland players, at http://bbc.co.uk/motd

Carroll unlucky with that red. Assume they'll appeal

Sorry. It's been a long day. I've not many brain cells still active.

No idea. Haven't thought about it much. Apologies for thinking out loud on a football forum.

Stands a good chance IMO

Crap enough to be a shoe in for Brazil knowing our Roy...

Superb save Begovic!

If this is true, surely the football authorities won't let then get away with it for a third time in 5 years... Would they...?

I've always liked Merson

Or...it was a masterstroke.... contain Fulham in the first half then come out all guns blazing in the 2nd... How many 1st halves have we dominated recently only to throw it away in the 2nd? MP picked the team and we won 3-0. Means to an end. Job done.
