Same as I was thinking! If they pay Norris anywhere near 20k a week they are full on mentals. I would reckon he'd be on closer to 10k than 20 but what do I know I didnt go to the Pompey school of economics!

Serious question but how much of a contribution do you feel he actually made that couldn't equally have been made by a player already in the squad? Arguably Gobern made much more of a contribution than DS this season and yet he might be released!

Could do worse than trying to sign Pugh if AOC was to leave. Bompey definately looked the better value for the win today and personally I'd still like them to go up so we can continue our intense "rivalry" lol ;-)

Got my Walsall tickets today only tickets avail from blocks 12 -24 so if you want one my advice would be to get in soon! (Not sure if this includes 1-3 though forgot to ask!)

Think its safe to say its not our day in the Huddersfield game! 2-0 to them now from 2 shots!

Anyone found a stream? Quite fancy watching along in the sunshine!

If Barny is out surely we can just slot Guly in there and I wonder if Richardson CDAJFU at right midfield as I seem to remember when we signed him the OS talking about what a good attacking player he could be.

Seeing as how they didn't get the trophy yesterday will they be presented with it next weekend or is this always held over till the end of the year? I can't imagine they will "go easy" on us next week and will no doubt want to lord it over a "big club" at their ground. Can't see how them having won the league with games to spare will help us next weekend :-(

I now hope he signs purely for the chance to sing along to one of those Deppo masterpieces! Deppo for official saints song creator? I think so ;-)

I hear Martin O'Neil brought a nice house in Winchester ... Looked him up on soccerbase looks a bit of a nobody so not sure how we'd convince the work permit people how he is "significantly" better than a home/EU based player.

Diamond formation messed us up again although only via radio it sounded like they just played around us far too easily. Hopefully he will bin it off now until he has his first choice players to play it! Disappointing evening you could just tell it wasn't going to be our evening when Forte decides to shoot from 20 yrds rather than keep running it in for the easier finish (going on the taters viewpoint!). Onwards and upwards for Saturday!

Sounds like starting with the diamond has really cost us! Need a goal in the next ten really. Strangely feel that we get one we'll get 2!

I hate to be resonable to them but I think that was the serbian guy they signed just before our cup game. Don't think he ever played but I'm sure one of our resident skates can put me right if not! According to wiki Rocha signed from Standard Leige although he had, had his contract terminated. As for the russians sounds a rum lot who if they manage to sneak past the FAP test it would be shown up again as a complete joke. I haven't been on the thread in a little while but wasn't this takeover sposed to be done and dusted a couple of weeks ago? ;-)

I think that was the Ox or Martin?

They didn't draw 2-2 then? ;-) Either way reasonable result for us there hopefully they can get a result vs Posh next and help us out further which I'm sure they will be pleased about!

Plymouth to go bust meaning Brighton lose 6points and implode with us nicking the league by a point on the last day with a last minute winner haha ;-) As much as a one off game victory at OT would be a good day out Auto promotion please! Brighton have deserved the championship if they just hold their nerves for 4 more games they should be home and hosed! Been top since before we played them at home so fair play to them a better start to the season and I think we would have made it alot lot closer!

Thought it sounded fantastic to have OWTS slow in the 2nd half whilst ignoring the same muppets at the back banging the back boards at a speed that has no relation to the song! Amazing how when we upped our singing that the players seemed to up their tempo to!

Forte looks inflated at 500k so far ;-)

Chamboooooo! yay!

That game is over is it? :-S Sounds like at the moment we have made up points on both bompey and brighton stop being so negative its boring!

Even more amazing was its actually 4 ex saints turning out for the pool tonight! Crainey, Beatts, Ormerod and Punch! Great finish by JP again wish he could do that for us every week!

To be fair the echo says its 13 games we haven't scored in so if its 7 games under him thats still the majority! The 0-0's I've seen under him I always get the impression he fails to make the tactical changes necessary to really change the games e.g. Notts County where his only really attacking sub came after about 80 mins. Hopefully with the added pace up front of Forte we might see some improvement. Seems to me that we could have done with Waigo back again as he always added a different style of play to our tactical locker.

Most pointless Loan ever for Shea? Surely better to give the under 12 goal keeper some bench time as opposed to that total drain on resources Forecast! Not good enough for non league but good enough for our bench? I think not!

Disaster covers it I reckon.

I think AL is the only one of those left now! Far as I can remember Papa, Wayne Thomas, Lloyd James, Wotton, AL, RL, Anotonio all took pens at some stage in that comp.
