Guly injured...?

@SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC substitutes vs #WBA: K. Davis (GK), Clyne, S. Davis, Ram?rez, Cork, Mayuka, Hooiveld. m.twitter.com/SouthamptonFC

@SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC team vs #WBA: Boruc, Chambers, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Ward-Prowse, Lallana ©, Rodriguez, Lambert.

So what do we want? Players with no competition for their places? Doesn't sound like a recipe for success to me. "It's a squad game" (as they say in cliche land)

How many more pages until this thread reaches Charlie Austen proportions?

BBC Surrey Sport ‏@BBCSurreySport5m FARNBOROUGH "NO GREEN LIGHT YET": @FarnboroughFC first two games v Chelmsford & H&W postponed. Not fulfilled criteria yet #BORO

Is that scientifically possible...?

Kris Temple ‏@kristemple MT @NabilHassan79: Less than 24 hours until kick off, Morecambe have now sold a grand total of eight tickets for the game at #Pompey Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen @kristemple @NabilHassan79 Careful lads, I am being pounded by their fans for publishing the previous figure!! Nabil Hassan ‏@NabilHassan79 @pn_neil_allen @kristemple Maybe they should spend less time pounding & more time buying. In fairness club say about 100 expected to travel. Simon ‏@pocketparlay @NabilHassan79 @pn_neil_allen @kristemple Maybe you spend less time writing \ reporting nothing stories #crass #deluded

Aye. Didn't take long for Morecambe fans to cotton on to the fact based literary skills of the South Coast's finest journalist

Sam Hallam ‏@hallam116 @Seagie85 @adamlordlm @pn_neil_allen Congratulations, your misinforming article made the national paper. Idiot. pic.twitter.com/VLkGJFamSt Mathew Seage ‏@Seagie85 @AdamLordLM @pn_neil_allen such articles and attitudes won't get you far in this league, ask Bradford. Very poor from Portsmouth. Sam Hallam ‏@hallam116 @Seagie85 @adamlordlm @pn_neil_allen We are not the Shrimpers. Do your research. #****article Mathew Seage ‏@Seagie85 @hallam116 @adamlordlm @pn_neil_allen They are BIG MASSIVE Porstmouth, they dont need to waste time getting their facts right about L2 clubs Sam Hallam ‏@hallam116 After @pn_neil_allen article has been twisted by The Sun, we are now the laughing stock of football. Cheers Neil, nice one. Martin Shaw ‏@MartinShaw163 @hallam116 @pn_neil_allen **** poor journalism. Three points tomorrow will do more than nicely. #shrimps #morecambefc Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen @MartinShaw163 @hallam116 Is saying you have sold 4 tickets in advance wrong then? Martin Shaw ‏@MartinShaw163 @pn_neil_allen @hallam116 Does it warrant printing and making a joke of. That's the question .......... Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen @MartinShaw163 @hallam116 Nope, can’t see any ‘jokes’ made here. Poor argument from you. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/four-they-are-jolly-good-fellows-morecambe-fans-ready-for-pompey-1-5387807 … Martin Shaw ‏@MartinShaw163 @pn_neil_allen @hallam116 Can't be bothered with taking you on. You know fine well fans can (and WILL) pay on the day. Mathew Seage ‏@Seagie85 @pn_neil_allen @MartinShaw163 @hallam116 Just admit it, you heard only 4 tickets had been sold, thought it was funny and wrote an article. Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen @MartinShaw163 @hallam116 Yep, mentioned that in the copy. Sam Hallam ‏@hallam116 @pn_neil_allen @martinshaw163 We played Torquay at home last week, I bet they didn't even buy 4 tickets in advance, but there was 70+ there Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen @hallam116 @MartinShaw163 Good for you. Sam Hallam ‏@hallam116 “@pn_neil_allen: @hallam116 "Good for you.” What type of a response is that? If you can't handle debate you're in the job. Martin Shaw ‏@MartinShaw163 @hallam116 @pn_neil_allen A poor excuse for "journalism". To be expected though....... CallCrookes ‏@CallCrookes @MartinShaw163 @hallam116 @pn_neil_allen embarrassing replies from a so called "professional" too. How on earth did you get accreditation? Stuart Rae ‏@Stu_Rob_Rae @pn_neil_allen must have been a slow news day in Pompey.... for a slow journalist. Would love it if we beat you on Saturday, Stuart Rae ‏@Stu_Rob_Rae @pn_neil_allen why would anybody entrust Pompey with advance payment? That is more news worthy IMO. Contact the Morecambe 4. :lol:

Ashley Brown ‏@AshBeen23 PST buys another 90K of shares in PFC today, plenty more in the pipeline. Have you got yours?

Did MLT go to the Neil Allen school of one-liner paragraph writing?

http://twohundredpercent.net/?p=23937 No plaudits for the SWF nutjobs I see. Surely we deserve a mention in despatches...? It's a thankless task being this obsessed, I tell ye.

"Calling Turkish to the Osvaldo thread. Turkish to the Osvaldo thread please. Final call"

Oops....yes, in part. I'm anticipating the line up Pochettino started with vs Real Sociedad is the one he plans to start with vs WBA (injuries allowing) so I think Guly will start. And, yes, Puncheon ought to be on the bench but no idea who to exclude...
