68th in England on the day he took charge, to 14th in England (possibly as high as 10th by Sunday evening) - is not a "poor to average job"!

Standing on grass applauding a great season, standing in the stands applauding a great season. Is the former really any better? Or is it the thrill of doing something different (albeit illegal)?

A lot have said don't do it this year, but have condoned it for promotion years and last day survivals. I really don't see the point in them at all, it is illegal and you can still enjoy yourself after the full time whistle by staying in the stands and clapping a lap of honour from the players.

This might not go down well... Technically a pitch invasion is illegal. Should we really be having threads with people condoning illegal acts on this forum?

The Rastafari movement is an offshoot of Christianity.

Kenwyne Jones is a Rastafarian, so a pig's head in his locker isn't going to go down well. Not that it would even if he wasn't a Rastafarian.

We spent more than them this season, but we were playing catch up as they've assembled their top 6 squad over a number of years of being in the Premier League with Premier League money. Saints were trying to turn a League One squad into a Premier League squad very quickly - and succeeded.

He also said... "Just before he died, he planned to do a complex shifting of shares which would have given them independence and more funds, his heirs in Switzerland have changed their attitude towards the club and has left Cortese wondering if he can take it any further. He is very, very ambitious and very sharp." Interview starts 10:30 minutes into the 7:00 to 7:30 slot... http://www.talksport.co.uk/radio/listen-again/episode/115027

Yes.

Shaw was training today, I think he'll play on Sunday.

@SouthamptonFC: Pochettino says Rickie Lambert, @Luke_shaw3, Steve De Ridder and Vegard Forren have missed some training sessions this week. #saintsfc .............. No Lambert, De Ridder or Forren in the training video and training photos today. Shaw did train today. So perhaps...

"Tis but a flesh wound" is the motto of the Pompey trust isn't it? In any case, Markus Liebherr died in 2010. Since then we've had 2 promotions, spent close to £40m in the Premier League, secured Premier League status for 2013/14, over £15m on improving the training ground and a category 1 academy. If they "didn't care", why did all that happen in the 3 years after Markus' death?

John Sullivan, released by Charlton Athletic after a loan spell at AFC Wimbledon at the bottom of League 2 is my guess. Only Fools and Horses signing for Pompey this season... No income tax, no V.A.T.. No money back, no guarantee, Black or white, rich or broke, We'll cut prices at a stroke.

And could that be because the people running QPR made poor managerial appointments and poor player recruitment? Something Cortese has done very well!

Agustín Delgado was a very good player, his footballing quality wasn't the problem.

It is in the "fantasy kit design" section which is for anyone to submit mock ups.

Someone that appears to be at the awards dinner just posted this... Greg Dyer ‏@g8egd #saintsfc cortese said he is #staying!!!! https://twitter.com/g8egd/status/334428991853297664 He has been posting pictures like this of himself and Saints players all evening... And importantly one with the man himself...!

I have a feeling you may be on it Glasgow.

Assuming you haven't got me on your ignore list. Who is on your ignore list?

@SouthamptonFC: The 2012-13 Scholar of the Season is JAMES WARD-PROWSE! #sfcawards2013 Good point both of you.

Not sure how he deserves it ahead of Shaw.

We are all becoming parodies of ourselves!
