Given he hasn't featured in any recent U23 games, one assumes he is currently injured?

Miaow He does sound like our kinda player though. Surely he'd prefer to come to a club like us rather than be a benchwarmer at the likes of Utd...?

Mods - please can you remove this pragmatic nonsense. Thanks

So, in keeping with only paying off 4% of their debts, that's £200 they've got to fork out.

Why has the game gone to penalties when its not a knock out tournament at this stage?

Slightly surprised we're not giving the likes of Bertrand and Gardos a run out in this game, even only for one half. Maybe too soon for Gardos but timing would have been perfect for Bertrand I'd have thought

Agree. As long as there was a shared wages agreement I would see it as a 'nothing to lose' loan. Just watch him go to the likes of Everton or West Ham though, and have a superb season...

Nope, lost me there....

No, of course there aren't any Pompey fans on here masquerading as disgruntled Saints fans. What a daft notion. They are simply ardent Saints fans with an alternative agenda, oops, sorry...alternative opinion...

Why be exasperated? That's exactly how the usual suspects on here want to make you feel. Just do what I do and sit back and watch with mild amusement as they follow the usual script every time we have an indifferent start to the season or a bad run mid season. They feed off reactions (indeed, watch the response this post of mine will receive.... "So, we're not allowed an alternative opinion?"..." Its a forum for discussion"... "Give us your own opinion Trousers"...." Deflection....blah blah blah"..."chomp chomp chomp".....Textbook stuff). Its almost as of this forum has been infiltrated by a bunch of Pompey fans intent on winding up your average pragmatic Saints fan. Which of course it hasn't. Ridiculous notion.... On with the show...Act 5 Scene 2....

Chomp chomp chomp

The only problem I foresee with this meltdown and ultimate collapse is that we won't end up in the same league as Pompey. Next season, when we're getting relegated from the Championship they'll be getting promoted from League 1. Disappointing to say the least.

Not 'all' of us, thank you very much

And no doubt there will have been 3 or more results last season that were not as good as the same fixtures the season before that, and so on. And there will be results this season that are better than the same fixtures last season, and so on. Plus ça change

I'll leave that to the experts at such things to judge...

Same number of points as this time last season, goal difference better by 1 and 4 places higher in the league. Only a slight improvement but a step in the right direction.... We march on

Was the bloke who mowed the pitch a bit hungover this morning...?
