A look at the ticketing website shows it isn't true.

When they were in the 3rd tier in 1999 and someone told you that they would win the Premier League 13 years later, what would you have said?

It is a non FA tournament tomorrow due to its 45 minute format, which is why the club are using retired referees.

Such as?

What? Before last season Rickie Lambert had never played above League One. You are putting too much emphasis on experience. In any case, Fox, S.Davis, K.Davis, Cork and Chaplow have all played in the Premier League before. Do you really think Lambert and Lallana are going to struggle because they haven't played in the Premier League before? Just look at some of the squads of bottom half Premier League teams, they really aren't that special. Norwich and Swansea both came midtable with little in the way of previous Premier League experience.

How much Championship experience did the league's top scorer have before the start of last season?

That is a very good point.

Sorting the deal out with the club rather than letting it go to tribunal means you can have more of a say in future clauses. Paying more for him now, may mean paying less back to Palace in the future.

Because Clyne is better than the likes of Gobern and Dickson.

Davis still isn't able to manage it very well. We had lots of edge of seat moments last season when it came to his poor distribution. Thank you.

Because it will be more or less be the same as every "press conference" Saints have before a game, on Radio Solent, South Today and Saints Player. Plus I said it "may" be on Sky Sports as they may pay more attention to us now we are a Premier League club.

He does, because Adkins wants his keepers to play out from the back rather than a long punt upfield all the time. Davis and Bialkowski's kicking last season was inconsistent in quality to say the least.

Also Saints are flying out to France early next week, so they'll want to get it done so he goes out with them rather than joining up later.

It'll be on South Today and maybe Sky Sports News (but not live). A longer version will also be on Saints Player.

If it wasn't, it is unlikely he would have 60,000 people following him.

Which makes this statement in The Mirror article odd... "Adkins was given permission to speak to out-of-contract Clyne "

He was the highest scoring Spanish midfielder in La Liga last season.

Hard to be an attack dog against someone being so reasonable and not deluded.

Well yeah, I could have picked him up on that. But generally he is being very reasonable when compared to most Pompey fans I have encountered.

Mr Gillon is actually being quite reasonable.

Can you quote the conversation please, he has blocked me.

Clearly not. He'll soon find out, I'll bore him to death with statistics and circular arguments...

I have a new person to poke! Bill Gillon the owner of Pompey Online! EDIT: He is actually surprising reasonable! https://twitter.com/PompeyScot
