Any chance of signing brother Rui as well, could be a decent backup striker at least for the future. Seems like the two brothers like to be together.

Should have read "his spell there was somewhat longer than it should have been".

So do you know ho w to find it, because I'm buggered if I can.

Wilkins - Snodin (and thats no disrespect to Wilkins)

You can add James Hayter (Sandown) as well.

7pm kick-off is a joke, some of us have to work and then travel. Changing the date was not a problem but time is silly.

You need to realise that like us, Exeter are also better than Man utd. Witness the fact that both us and Exeter only lost to Leeds by an odd goal away from home, whilst Manure lost to them at home. If you consider its harder to play away from home the logic is clear that manure are not as good as Saints or even Exeter. Simples. Who would I rather see Saints play against, Exeter or Manure, again I would pick Exeter, since I prefer to watch Saints win. I do not go to games to see the opposition, as a Saints supporter I go to watch Saints.

Does anyone else find it incredibly difficult to find ticket news for upcoming matches on the OS these days? You would have thought it would be one of the easiest links to find, but I'm buggered if I can find it now. Anyone help? At least its clear on the MK Dons site

Good, because looking at the history of the page it has been edited 21 times in the last 24 hours, and every time the edit has been undone. Obviously the **** who thinks he can update Wiki knows nothing about how it works, and how it is moderated. The changes will always be undone as long as there is no plausible reference that can be cross-checked for validation.

Ah but Manure were at home while we were away, so doesn't that potentially make us better than Manure?

Looks like we will be the 3rd lowest ranked team in the draw (Notts Co and Brighton below us). Good chance we will be on TV if we get a Prem team, as they will be looking for an upset. Hope we get a proper Prem team at home (i.e. not Wigan or Hull).

How can one person invade the pitch? What a tosser.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Jan 1 was a Bank Holiday and Jan2/3 are the weekend. Have you looked to see how many transfers have actually been completed? A few loan extensions and a couple of free transfers (players out of contract), thats it. Business starts again tomorrow, but usually these things don't gather pace until the middle of the month, players and teams looking for the best offer and playing a bit of brinksmanship. A few players will go, Saga for sure, but we won't get any/much for any of them, thay are being unloaded.

We'd get a lot more from Arsenal away. Gate receipts are shared in the Cup (45%/45%). We need to draw someone at home, don't care who but would be better if we had a chance of winning. So thats Liverpool then.

Well, I hope you gave them a good thumping

Well, you are in a small minority. I guess then that you have not read AP's comments on the OS. Clearly he thinks we should give it our best shot AND he has had a word with NC and ML to ensure they understand the meaning of the FA Cup which most football supporters in this country also understand. We employ prefessional footballers, they are paid to play football and enjoy playing games (rather than training). They have a week to recover. There is no earthly justification to rest players at this stage. In the end the team was affected by too many enforced changes, and you might even argue that Bart was rested to give Davis a game - will be interesting to see who is picked for the next league game. Conolly and Jaidi were not risked either, how badly are they really injured. And as for the fatuous comment about Donny Rovers, if we get drawn against them then I would fully expect us to get at least a draw, if not a win and we could then stick their train picture up their arse. Bring on R4 of the FA Cup - the greatest club cup competition in the world, we will be the 2nd lowest rnaked club and we can provide an upset at least if we get a home draw.

No, he is going to the Prem, Birmingham have already offered £3m, doubt he will be tempted to drop down with that sort of money being offered.

Thank **** AP was sensible enough to play our best available team and not what some "fans" thought we should do. If we had lost today we would have been the headlines, because there are no real shocks for the pundits to talk about. That would have been so embarrassing. Always thought Luton would be a tougher prospect than Northampton or Torquay, or for that matter some L1 teams. They should be a league club and are on a good run. Still good to see we will be in the hat for R4, and will be the underdogs almost certainly.

Think you'd lose then. Looks like basically the same team that beat us, but without O'Toole and Lisbey due to suspension/loan agreement.

Its what comes of having to change the defence and bringing Davis back in at the same time, can't see the logic of starting Davis for this one, would have started with Bart, who has proved he is as good as Davis, bringing Davis back in when needed/fully fit.

Although 5 places behind today's opponents, who have a smaller capacity.

Kids today, huh! When I were lad we didn't have roofs.

Fulham will have to sort that out then, no need for the other lot they won't be there much longer.

While Lancs did have a poor game that night it would be grossly unfair to blame the defeat on him. I was at the game, and we were a shower of ****e than night, and AP was incompetent. Much has changed since then, thank goodness.

It is a sad reflection on football at the higher levels that there are 2 League 1 teams with higher average attendances than 7 Premier League teams and all but 3 Championship teams. Even with us as the 3rd best League 1 team, there are still 3 Prem teams below us, not just Pompey. 15 of the 24 Championship teams have inferior home average attendance than us!!! Just shows what incompetent management of certain football clubs can do and that point deductions primarily hurt the supporters, not the ****s that cause the trouble.
