As the "live" league table currently stands we are still 16 points from the playoffs

Now 10th in the "real" league table

8.45 CET is 7:45 GMT silly

I cringe whenever he gets the ball.

Doesn't work.

Official trailer

Just in case anyone asks. David Connolly won't be at Saints in FM10 as data lock was a while ago. He will be included in any data update though. Michail Antonio won't be either as he is only a short term loan and they are never included in FM.

Kelvin Davis Lloyd James Neal Trotman Radhi Jaidi Dan Harding Papa Waigo Morgan Schneiderlin Dean Hammond Adam Lallana Rickie Lambert David Connolly Should on paper hold its own as a Championship level side let alone League One

No chance he will train full time for us whilst playing for another team What a bizarre idea.

Anyone seen anywhere what squad number he has been given?

The demo date is Friday 16th October

I think it doesn't matter anyway as there is no need for Pompey to even have a 36k stadium let alone 45k. They should build something like a 28k stadium which will more than suit their needs and let Southampton have the World Cup bid

How is that relevant?

The London 2012 Olympic Stadium will have 55,000 temporary seats. It is likely to be reduced from 80,000 to a 25,000 stadium after 2012. Although even with 36k and 9k temporary seats after the World Cup Pompey will never get close to 36k once the temporary seats have been removed.

Swapping Bale and Surman would make more sense.

Chris Sutton makes a terrible start to his managerial career with that as his first signing

SAF said he'd invest and he didn't. This new guy is invisible to professional journalists who can't find anything about him let alone how much he is worth.

.........................

From The Times No journalist can find anything about this guy so why are Pompey fans so happy? No one has any idea how wealthy or not he is.

Something is not "right" with all this. SAF sold his shares for £0 after having them for 40 days. People don't become rich in business doing things like that. Also no matter how much money the new owner puts into the club he will never make it back let alone a profit. Man City and Chelsea can support high crowds and already have large stadia. Pompey have huge debts, a poor stadium and poor attendances 3k below a 20k capacity and a team requiring massive investment just to get 17th. How this will ever turn into a return on investment I don't know. It will take £50 million just to get them safe from administration problems and debt clearance, add to that the cost of a new stadium upwards of £50m, £9m for training complex and we haven't even started on the team yet. Is it worth it for the money 17,000 fans will bring?

Upwards of £110 million before any players have been signed and potentially CHampionship football next year. Is it worth it for the money 17,000 fans will bring?

What is your point? It is based on splitting the number of teams in half with 50% of the southern most teams in one section and the rest in the northern section. It will of course vary from year to year where the north/south divide is due to different teams being in the competition due to promotion and relegation.
