Another player punching him in the face? Doesn't bode well for team harmony IMO

Can we finish higher than 8th? Yes Will we finish higher than 8th? This -->

My son's two shirts arrived this morning (home and away). They are size medium and seem a smidgen larger than last season, but that might just be because they haven't been mangled by the washing machine yet.

You'll be telling us you don't know who "Mr. Roy" is next....

@SouthamptonFC It's all go at Staplewood! �� #SaintsFC's youngsters have reported back to the training ground for pre-season testing today.

He knows that, hence the bites (textbook page 165)

Trousers note to self: polish up on mind-reading skills

He's right though.... I've posted 42,547 times on here over the course of 3,893 days. That's an average of 10.92 posts per day. So, at an average rate of 48 seconds per post, that's 8.74 minutes per day where I could be doing something else to enrich my worthless excuse for a life.

Only if you come with me for being sad enough to respond to my sad post....

You'd have thought they'd have worked out by now that our club badge doesn't look particularly good in monochrome.

Indeed...

Would need to see how those stats are derived before being able to make any meaningful comment on them. Would also be useful to know how large the deficit was for each of those countries back in 2010 compared to now.

By definition, any player that wants to move is "unsettled", ergo, by that measure, nothing will have changed this close season compared to previous close seasons. In other words, if a player wants to go then we'll sell (at the right price).

"It was believed Southampton had the evidence to incriminate Liverpool but, in the weeks that have followed the complaint, they have not put it forward." I'm trying to work out why we wouldn't want to incriminate one of our premier league rivals. Surely neutralising Liverpool in the transfer market (which might have been the outcome) would have been to our benefit in next season. The only logical reason is that we haven't completely closed the door to the notion that VvD might still end up at Liverpool. In other words, we'd rather take 'stupid money' from Liverpool than hold onto VvD at all costs...? Or maybe I'm thinking too hard about this whole malarkey.

For something that seemed pretty nailed on a month or so ago it does seem to be dragging on somewhat. That said, I've taken my eye off the Pompey Takeover ball of late (#shock #horror) so perhaps there's been an update or two that I've missed.
