It is only because he was asked about Pompey, what else could he have said? If at the time Saints went into administration he'd have said the same. You can pretty much guarantee any politician asked that question would respond in exactly the same way. Brown wouldn't want to annoy potential Labour voters in Portsea with an upcoming general election.

I think it is very unlikely a CVA will be signed, leaving them starting on minus points in the Championship.

9 points in a 38 game league = 92.75% of the total points available 10 points in a 46 game league = 92.2% of the total points available Therefore -9 points is actually a marginally harsher punishment

That "Some guy" was the MP for Portsmouth South.

Would require a change in the rules as atm this can't happen.

45% faster to be precise

Well atm they can only be brought by season ticket holders. 13k of them and if all buy 2 then only a max of 26k can be sold this week. What would help is if they went on general sale sooner rather than having a long period for those that went to the MK Dons games.

It isn't a pointless thread. The whole point of this forum is for Saints fans to discuss things related to Saints. Others have clearly indicated that they agree with the opening post, others haven't. What comes then is a hopefully friendly discussion. What doesn't help is people declaring their view and that the thread is "pointless".

Nicer setting than an industrial estate unless you have to swim across. Maybe a moat is their alternative to Hampshire police and the steel wall.

They do it at St Mary's which is one of the best surfaces in the country.

It was stupid then and is stupid now. Mr Pardew if you are reading, please stop it!

Anyone else noticed (or got annoyed by ) Saint's tendency in recent games to use a "Rugby" style kick offs? By this I mean two players in the centre circle pass to each other then a "hoof" to the opposition's full back position where Lambert and one other player has made a run to challenge for a header. Normally this either ends in the hoof going straight out of play or the opposition get the ball. I wish they would stop doing this and just retain the ball and build an attack.

2005/06 home kit with that collar that was impossible to get over your head.

Indeed... 38 points + 10 from points deduction + 9 from games in hand if all won = 57 points compared to 4th place Charlton's 60 points or 38 points + 10 points from points deduction + 6 points from games in hand if all won = 54 points compared to 6th place Huddersfield's 57 points Plus Saints still have to play Charlton and Huddersfield at St Mary's.

Yep 16 games left. 10 of which are on the bowling green pitch of St Mary's. Every cloud...

9 points over 38 games is actually a slightly harsher punishment than 10 over 46 games. Both punishments mean you can only get 92% of the max points possible. 9 points is slightly less by a fraction of a percentage 92.2% compared to 92.75% for -10 points.

I wouldn't blame them

It isn't. It will cut up a lot. Doesn't help that Wycombe played on it on Saturday and then Wasps played on it the next day. 30 Rugby players and 22 Footballers won't have done it any good. Certainly not like the St Mary's bowling green.

A lot of his games for MK Dons this season have been from a central position.

Well he is lying to you then.

Injured against Norwich. Hence why he came off and Saints finished the game against Norwich exactly how they are starting tonight with Puncheon in the middle.

ffs the Pompey game was a sell out. Will you ever stop?
