Oh my God, this must take the biscuit for over reaction. You have to laugh when people post crap like this. I hope you are joking Charlie. Good result against team that have only lost once at home this season and have won 8 of the other 11.

Its a risk, but a calculated one, AP will have seen them work together, and have been satisfied that the gamble was worthwhile. Can't see bringing in Holmes was a risk though. Thats why we have good players in the squad. If he'd played Pulis then that would have been a risk, actually that would have been suicide come to think of it. Some changes were enforced anyway, Jaidi is injured, Trotman is gone, so what was he supposed to do?

Come on Alps, no-one is that bad...

Suspect Morgan will remain invisible on a radio commentary. Seriously though its often down to the commentators, either getting it wrong or simply not reporting every time a player touches the ball.

**** me, how has Pards lost the plot? Gets 3 new defenders in, do you think he bought them to play golf with, they are fecking pro players and have trained this week. Brings in Holmes who has clearly impressed in training. Losing the plot would be picking Forecast, Molyneux and Pulis.

Strange this is only being reported in one ragtop and nowhere else. The Mirror (like most papers) is crap anyway, suspect there is no animosity at all. As for Coleman, he is and always has been a ****, so if something has upset him, good, he gets what he deserves, and soon will be leaving Coventry I suspect as they seem to have found him out as a very uninspiring manager.

To be fair, Pearson was not appointed by Lowe, though he did of course terminate his appointment. Just another **** up in his extensive catalogue of mismanagement.

I don't believe they ever won the Cup or the League. I have checked in Wikipedia and it has confirmed that this is all a figment of the imagination. It clearly states: Honours: none and whats more it seems to have said that for some time, I can't see that it has been edited recently. So there you have it, conclusive proof that we clearly are the top team. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_F.C.

Just a thought, but do we actually want this Jonny guy to play well for us, or do we want to **** him off? Sounds like the sort of songs we would sing to an opposition player. Funny though...

Was it at Highbury or the Emirates?

had to laugh at myself, thought otsemabor was some sort of short hand (like hcdcajfu), completely missed that is was the name of a new signing Looks like spelling is Otemobor though

Seems to have been approved extremely rapidly, normally planning applications take months. Did the Echo get permission from NC to announce this? If not they should be banned. Oh they already are.

Unless of course SSN are speculating...

Completely agree, clearly Poke is the future for Saints, but is currently gaining valuable league experience with Torquay, meanwhile Forecast rots in the reserves and gains nothing.

Davies' squad number at Brighton was possibly 23 (but also found reference to 19, 23 is Adam Virgo), can't find what his number was at Saints - he was in the Cup Final squad so if anyone can put their hand on the programme (buggered if I know where mine is) it should give his number. His profile on Saints page comes up if you Google "arron davies southampton" as being there 8 hours ago. Found an old programme, 23 was Davies' squad number when he was with us. Make of that what you will.

but with the lowest number of correct score predictions in the top 107 :wink:

Take that with a huge pinch of salt (if there is any left) then.

Bigger crowds than last season and bigger crowds than some Prem and most Championship teams. Nick is entitled to his opinion but IMHO he is way off the mark on this one. In a recession when generally football crowds are down we are bucking the trend in spades. I think maybe there are other things to worry about, though I can't think of many these days as far as Saints are concerned.

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.
