Is that actually an offense?

Maybe it was Nick Clegg's idea?

Could pretend the player he caught was a skate.

Yes, it would be ripping off this Icelandic team. But it is the best goal celebration ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvFokICvrfQ&feature=player_embedded What are the best celebrations you have seen a Saints player do?

There has been no release date confirmed. Nor any confirmation of what the game will include. Most years it is out in Oct/Nov so expect similar.

I think both HMRC and Pompey can appeal the appeal if either of them lose, dragging it out beyond 3rd August.

This rule won't actually cause a problem to most clubs. Very few clubs have more than 25 players over the age of 21. On top of the 25 you can have as many under 21 as you want.

If Saints were still a mid table Premier League team I would agree with you. However Saints are in League One and a 30 year old Darius Vassell would be very good in this League.

Saints never had him properly in order to let him go. I think he left before 16 and went to Swindon.

I agree Euell wasn't great for Saints. But to be fair to him he didn't often play as a central striker, more often than not he was in midfield. So to analyze his goal record in a struggling team is harsh.

Still no guarantee they will complete the 2010/11 season if the court case goes against them.

He is Blackpool's captain. So I'd guess he'll play a bit.

It isn't an Echo exclusive. They nicked it from the Mirror.

He sure did, on October 1st 2009 (after the Bristol Rovers game). After 46 games the team that was 18th was Exeter with 51 points. Which is 32 points fewer than what Saints earnt last season. Quite a massive margin of error there when he tried to predict how well Saints would do!

Lee Holmes and Billy Davies were at Derby together so they do know each other. I can't see Holmes being good enough for a team challenging at the the top of the Championship next season.

Why do you keep bringing up England vs Japan? 1) Saints players had just had 2 months holiday and are currently playing friendlies to build up fitness for a new season. 2) England players should have already been fit when they played Japan as they just finished a League season. There is a huge difference between the two situations. The games were used for different reasons.

You don't exactly have the best track record for predictions... 01-10-2009 08:55 PM Where will Saints finish this season thread (2009/10) Oct 1st 2009 when you said this was pretty much the time the teams form took off and became automatic promotion form.

They apparently had 80 hours worth of traveling and missed a lot of days of training. They must all be knackered. What idiot thought it was a good idea to play games on the East coast, West Coast and in Canada?

Saints best chance for promotion was a season with... -10 points a manager taking over in mid July of a team that was a mess a team not probably taken shape until the end of the January 2010 transfer window ??? Some of your posts are beyond belief!!! Realism >>> Optimism >>>Pessimism >>>>>>>>>>> Alpine's Pessimism

Pot..Kettle Do you not realise you do the same by starting pessimistic threads and making pessimistic posts?

Why do you keep bringing up England? For a start Saints have just had a summer off and are building up fitness in friendlies. England played Mexico and Japan when the season had just finished, so should have been already "fit".

The tour has done lots to boost the clubs profile in North America. Stadium packed to the rafters as MLS fans flock to see the stars of Portsmouth last night. (Pompey playing in white as they didn't have a kit, so borrowed DC United's away kit)

I like benji. Has a wonderful way with the English language.

Pompey now playing DC United in a friendly, but don't have a kit as it didn't turn up. Pompey playing in DC United's away kit. Hardly any fans in the stadium so not exactly building the Pompey brand in the States. Losing 4-0 and two players sent off.
