Billy Sharp isn't cup tied in the FA Cup as he did't play in the 3rd round for Doncaster vs Notts County, but he won't be able to play in the replay vs Millwall. He will be fine for the rest of the competition if Saints do go through. RULE 15 (f) All players must have been eligible to play in the original tie in order to play in a replayed or postponed match; however a player who has been suspended according to the disciplinary procedures under the Rules of The Association may play in a postponed or replayed match after the term of his suspension has expired.

It Jack Sullivan, who is the son of David Sullivan and this is his genuine twitter account. https://twitter.com/#!/jsullivanwhu/status/164106180988379136 It won't be Lambert. By "top Championship scorer" he means someone in the top scorers list, probably Vaz Te or perhaps McCormack. The kid is young and worded it poorly. No need for this thread, so a mod should close or delete it.

Fonte and Chaplow both trained today and I expect Fonte will start tomorrow.

But are you happy now?

Forget Lee and Sharpe, what about the Sharp camp?

I think the taxman will be most annoyed if they get a validation order from the court to have its bank accounts unfrozen so that staff wages can be paid. As claimed here... http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/LatestNews/news/Portsmouth-Football-Club-Statement-3071.aspx That would then be three months they have decided to pay wages, but not the taxes on those wages. Coventry had to sell Jutkewitcz for money reasons, they wouldn't have had to sell him if they could avoid a £2.4m tax bill. It is an unfair advantage for Pompey over other Championship clubs.

Or Simon Williams from the media department at Saints.

He is still better than Martin (by some distance) and I'm sure Adkins agrees. That isn't to say Martin has done well when called upon, but Fonte and Hooiveld remain first choice when fit.

Morgan Schneiderlin is very defensive, he often sits just in front of the centre backs to break up opponents attacks. I'm still surprised at how many people don't see what Schneiderlin's role often is and how good he is at tackling, he isn't just a good long/short passer of the ball.

Yes, he has. Brighton's Lewis Dunk took him out in the first game of the season on 6th August and he didn't play again until 24th September. http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/9183133.Dunk_says_sorry_to_Sharp/

Kelvin Davis has been at Saints for nearly six years now! ffs

Adkins is unlikely to tell them anyway, as he won't want the opposition manager to know.

Reliability is based on number of forum post made? Okay, Saints are extending St Mary's to 75,000 in the next 18 months.

We don't want to upset a dozen or so Japanese journalists when they turn up at St Mary's on Tuesday!

I doubt Saints signed Tadanari Lee and pay him £15k p/w, for him not to even be on the bench.

That was 48 years ago!

I didn't say that.

Doesn't normally take them to reach the age of 25 before moving into league football though.

I doubt Saints would offer a player that isn't theirs for Hooper. Now that would be daft!

I don't understand why people want tricky home or away games. I want Saints to draw the poorest team possible at St Mary's. As Championship sides, Millwall and Cardiff have both made the cup final in recent years, no reason why Saints couldn't do the same. Aren't two trips to Wembley for the semis and final better than a trip to see Saints get beaten at the Emirates, White Hart Lane, Anfield etc?

That doesn't mean he won't come by the deadline.

Have you seen the Norwich and Swansea squads?
