FFS... just when you think the 4th best south coast team are, at long last, going to claw themselves out of Division 3 into the chortlefest that awaits us in the Championship, they revert to type and lose again. Jeeez.
If the likes of Batman are sceptical then we can rest assured that extending Long's stay is a good idea.

So, you woke up this morning and said to yourself: "I know what I'm going to do today... Post a really positive and bullish point of view on the Saintsweb Forum. Yes, that's exactly what I'm going to do"....? Have you considered seeking help for this bizarre behaviour...?
Less years than a football club from Portsmouth have won one without cheating.
(Assuming we're talking about the previous football club that used to play at fratton park rather than the current one with only 8 years of history behind it, of course)
Next.
Have watched the replay of the Ings goal for the umpteenth time and just spotted what is now my favourite part of the whole sequence... Long heads the ball out of his own penalty area to start the move and who arrives in the Spurs penalty area just as Ings shoots...? ...why, it's that fella long again! Keep an eye on him on the wider angle of the footage and look at the supreme effort he puts it to make it up the other end. An insignificant observation perhaps in the general scheme of things but Long epitomises the work ethic that Hassenhutl has drilled into this team. Marvelous.
(Look at the wider angle shot on here at 6:05 mins: [video=youtube_share;HkGzYQSWNE8]
)
P.s. the pass from JWP to Ings for his effort off the the bar was borderline world class the more you look at it
