For Dickson in the first half.

The way they worded it makes sense.

Saints Vs Sutton: Davis. Butterfield, Fonte, Jaidi, Harding. Schneiderlin, Holmes, Dickson, Hammond, Oxlade-Chamberlain. Lambert Line up 4-5-1. Dickson on left of midfield, Holmes and Schneiderlin in middle, Chambo on right with Hammond just behind Lambert Subs: Mills, Wotton, McNish, Doble, Martin, Bialkowski, Barnard, Reeves

In fact I doubt many teams have ever had such high % of fans in a number of surveys liking a kit.

You are clearly in a minority, as most Saints fans in polls love it.

Then why is he listed in the squad on the OS yesterday? EDIT: I see it is mentioned on Twitter.

Most bookies at the moment have odds for Pompey suggesting a mid table finish.

The quotes from the Football League do not say Pompey have been allowed to sign three players to make it up to twenty. I'm not saying they won't sign three players, but those quotes don't actually say they have been given permission for that.

Any substance to that rumour?

He has never been captain of the under 21's. He hasn't even played a game for the proper French under 21 team. In any case if for example it were England not using the World Cup squad in their next match, how many England under 21 players would be used instead? 4 or 5 at most. They would use players that didn't make the squad. Who would most likely be older. i.e. the ones that missed out like Darren Bent, Leighton Baines, Bobby Zamora, Owen Hargreaves etc

Behadj has already been sold. Rocha is out of contract and technically not a Pompey player. Ben Haim has a relegation release clause.

He will be "different" in FM11.

Looking at the hidden values for current ability and potential ability rating out of 200 in the database editor gives a clue as to how good they are and will be.

He is ****. That is all you need to know.

This happens quite a lot when discussions are ongoing for a sale. I wonder how "injured" he really is? http://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10308~2100215,00.html

Here is just one of many real world examples... http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Everton-using-Football-Manager-computer-game-article33798.html Yes, it is using scouts that are fans of the clubs. In some ways it can be better, I see more Saints game than any club scout. But it must be the largest scouting network in the world and as an initial scouting tool I think is worth using. Obviously you follow it up by sending an actual scout to view the player.

Some fans of other clubs base their views of Saints players they might buy on what they are like on FM. For example a Colchester fan deciding if Lloyd James is any good. So basically using my view to formulate an opinion.

What relevance is how Saints got on 2, 5, 10 or 20 years ago have to how the two will get on next season?

A team of the combined squads would be heavily weighted towards Saints. Weds have money problems and been signing free transfers. (I'm not saying they are bad players for League One btw they clearly aren't and Wednesday should get a top 3 finish) Saints for the last 12 months have been signing players for large amounts of cash. If Saints wanted any of the players Weds signed this summer they would have out bid them. Yes, spending cash doesn't guarantee success, but it helps to get it.

...and wouldn't even make it into our starting XI If he were still at Saints he'd be 3rd choice right back.

Sheff Weds have little in the way of money hence why they haven't signed anyone other than free transfers. Yes, they are some good players at this level, but if Saints wanted any these players signed this summer they have the resources to outbid Wednesday. Your first choice right back next season is a player deemed not good enough for Saints or Norwich in the last 7 months.

It is not another rumour, it is a copy and paste job of the original.
