Maybe, if we haven't got one stashed away somewhere else (I've never seen one at the Dell or St Mary's). Cortese should get one, seeing as he's on a PR mission at the moment...

Our trophy cabinet is poor. We don't even have a replica of the FA Cup. Also, embarrassingly, there is a plate from a 5 a-side compo we won years ago - talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel!

I got I'd for smokes the other day on this rule - I'm 32. I would take it as a compliment, but the woman was a dinlo, so I can't really!

Agreed. You'd hope that if they did do something like this, then C4 would get hold of it. Anything on BBC is dire and the thought of ITV commissioning something like this and doing even a half-decent job, is laughable. Sky1 is also very hit and miss. I agree with the previous posts. Where is our HBO? Surely there's a market for a channel, with the amount of people who pay for satellite TV these days. That would surely give the budget to create these shows. No dramas we've produced in the last 10-15 years, have even come close to The Sopranos, The Wire or indeed BOB.

I can understand his point of view. After all he did play a handful of games for Lge 2 Bournemouth!

I still hope they lose some more players before we play them. Currently their team could look something like this: Jamie Ashdown Steve Finnan - Aaron Mokoena - Tal Ben-Haim - Hermann Hreidarsson Tommy Smith - Kevin Boateng - Michael Brown - Richard Hughes Piquionne - Utaka Subs: Antti Niemi, Angelos Basinas, Danny Webber, Hayden Mullins, Mark Wilson, Nadir Belhadj, N****wo Kanu, Vanden Borre, Yebda Injured: Pape Bouba Diop Still a decent side and capable of beating us. Hopefully they will lose a few more and have some injuries too!

Garvan would be an even bigger and better signing than Lambert. The boy has quality and has played over 15 games for EIRE. Not sure if I can see this happening, but will be over the moon if so!

Pop down to St Pauls, very friendly down there - so I hear...

No. 3-5-2 is a pretty much defunct formation in footy these days. 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 and swapping between the two is the preferred method, with the good ol' 4-4-2 of course. Even 4-2-3-1, come to think of it... When was the last time you can remember a team playing 3-5-2? Don't say Utd v Fulham either, as they had no defenders...

Ridiculously cheap booze and fags though. Can't believe no-one's mentioned this. Otherwise, I agree - a dump.

On checking, they can't sell Smith or Williamson either, as they both played games for Watford. I don't think that Ben Haim counts, as he didn't play a competitive game (according to Soccerbase).

In short, no. Here's there squad list and my guestimates on what they'll be worth: Current Squad 1 David James (G) - £500k 3 Younes Kaboul (D) - £2m 4 Aaron Mokoena (D) - £500k 6 Hayden Mullins (M) -£1m 7 Hermann Hreidarsson (D) - Free 8 Pape Bouba Diop (M) - £1m 11 Michael Brown (M) - £2m 14 Mike Williamson (D) -£500k 16 Steve Finnan (D) -£500k 17 John Utaka (F) - Free (due to massive wages) 19 Danny Webber (F) -£500k 20 Tommy Smith (F) -£500k 21 Jamie Ashdown (G) -£250k 22 Richard Hughes (M) -£500k 23 Kevin Boateng (M) Can't be sold 26 Tal Ben-Haim (D) - £2m 27 N****wo Kanu (F) - Free 29 Antti Niemi (G) - Free 31 Asmir Begovic (G) - £3m 33 Angelos Basinas (M) - Free 35 Mark Wilson (D) - £500k 37 Gael Nlundulu (M) Who??? 39 Nadir Belhadj (D) - £1m (Contract ends this season) I make that £16.25m if they sell their entire squad. OK some of these valuations are a bit out, but consider what we got for Surman and McGoldrick, well below what we'd have got if we were financially buoyant. At the absolute most, they'd get £20-£25m for their entire squad. Also, there may be more cases like Utaka, where his wages are so high they just want to get rid. James and Diop are ones that springs to mind.

You don't smoke do you. The worst time is after a few beers as willpower goes out the window. This will stay with you for years and years. I know people who have given up for 20 odd years and still say they fancy one after a couple of beers...I managed to give up for about 18 months, but got tripped up by beers.

Well worthy of posting then.

Agree with all of these bar Phil Parkinson, he relegated Charlton and had plenty of time to turn them round. They actually got worse under him and I am surprised they kept him on. Also, Chris Hughton? Can't exactly say he's only just started having an input on that team. He's been caretaker manager on and off, plus was Asst Manager for ages too.

The best laugh I've had at the expense of the club! If it hadn't of cost so much money, it would have been even funnier. The fact that it is rectified and we now have a fantastic statue befitting for Ted and his family, makes us able to laugh at that episode even more. I just remember some of the comments on a site when it started to hit the fan, like: Kim Jung Il: Why you make statue of me? You think this funnee? You pay. Gold. Pure gold.

I suggest he just gets a ticket in the f'ing Itchen. Why the fook do we have to email someone at the club every 2 mins?

LOL. That's because he was subbed and was having a good game. Have you played alot of footy? Who likes coming off, especially if you're playing well? No-one.

To be fair, I think it was just a bit of banter - not malicious in the slightest. Those same fans gave him a standing ovation when he came off (which he deserved). Don't know why people want to take all the humour out of footy. As for the player, I was more impressed with him in this game than I have been all season. Workrate and pace were fantastic and looked composed at times. The offsides are frustrating, but as already pointed out, not all were valid.

Really? What about being sucked off by some blonde beauty whilst driving to said away game? Surely that's better than seeing another car with a scarf stuck in the window?

I've read loads of that site before. These guys are brilliant, they send scammers to different countries, get them to handwrite books and one even got some to re-enact the 'dead parrot' Monty Python scene, record it and send the DVD! Outstanding stuff.

Connolly came over to the bench and spoke to Pardew before being subbed, so I'd say he had a knock of some sort.

I'd interested to know this too. I'd presume it'd be the 12th game or so, which is Huddersfield on the 2nd of Jan. This would make sense, being the New Year an' all.

He certainly was. Do you think budgetary constraints have reduced Pompey's scouting network to a copy of Champ Man c.2000/01?!

No. Only Fuller and Davies went directly from us to them. Higgy and Delap both went via Sunderland. Does anyone actually believe this tripe about Pulis Snr coming here and we had sign his son as part of the deal? If this isn't the biggest load of ****** I've ever heard, I don't know what is. Stoke went up automatically that year, whilst we stayed up on the last day. Very likely.
