"Liverpool wanted me, but I want championships, I want to win trophies." - Simon Kjær on his move to Fenerbahçe instead of Liverpool. Hahaha

That they are not English

The 2003 cup final side only had 5 English players in....against Villa we had 5 in squad not much has changed except we have more academy coming through now.

How do you explain us signing Bertrand - bringing in Targett instead of a foreigner?

I don't.....have a look in other clubs in the Prem am sure you will find we blood far more 'English' than many 9 from academy last year. How do you explain Forster signing replacing Polish keeper?

Huddlestone to Villa good for him not sure if he is what they need though. Drifts out of games too easily for me when it gets tough

Not sure this helps us at all: Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook 1m1 minute ago 2/2 #afc still keen but #saintsfc will hold out for fee of up to £25m so this one is likely to rumble on throughout the transfer window 0 retweets 0 favorites Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook 2m2 minutes ago Morgan Schneiderlin update is he wants to join #mufc but that is likelikely to depend on outcome of United's Schweinsteiger pursuit 1/2

Could have been worse... remember this http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/news/article/new-third-kit-launched-1022625.aspx

Do you think we will get Kyle Abbott back? Am happy with our batting its our bowling attack we have failed to address since Dimi, Tahir, Cork and Afridid left we have not replaced that quality.

Why are they squeezing money out of fans - where is the pay it or else? Its an option if you don't take it up then you have to join a queue and take a chance like now. Do you believe people will struggle to get a ticket this year? I can't see there being a big change on sell-outs. We will have to win quite a few Europa games to get to a decent team and SMS is hardly ever sold out midweek as many cannot travel. At worst you can watch online just like many do now that can't afford to go - if £25 breaks you then so be it I feel for you - I don't but its my patronising best.

Thanks Weston...yes should give him a chance really but wow it was so poor - line way off and so many long hops it was help yourself and undoing what a great job the other end was doing in tying them down. Very impressed with Yarafat, Smith and Briggs again lets hope England stay away and don't ruin him again. Still think we are a good bowler short from a top T20 side - could make finals day but not enough strike bowlers to win it IMHO.

What was that dross that Jackson Bird served up last night was a joke right?.....luckily Arafat, Smith and the ever reliable Briggs did the business. Slug got lucky with his last ball thankfully.

So the management that took us to our record points total are happy(if true we are signing him), the England goalkeeping coach is ok our 'famed' network of scouts and black box recommends it but you think he is sh1te......I have watched him a few times and he is decent - think I will take their word rather than yours.

What about Shay Given - decent keeper for short term.

Jayrods injury down to too much water?

OH FFS you bunch of namby pamby Premiership primma donna's...have you seen Blackpool's pitch? How quickly you forget some of the ****e we played on in L1 and Championship yet because we put a bit of water down :-) Injuries happen in football, the modern day boots offer hardly any protection the poor souls having to play on a carpet of grass rather than the sand heeaped muddy dust bowls of the 70's 80's and 90's.

If you had seen his leg the night he broke it at Staplewood ( I was there) you would be amazed he even played again.

FFS yes we get it you don't rate Pelle you don't have to keep putting that on here every game 4 or 5 times!

With the penalty given to JWP, they continue to push him to grow and establish himself as a key member in our team. Will he be the eventual captain of SFC? Will he be the next MLT? I think his penalty was once again SFC trying to make this young man a super star. Some of the fans may not see it, but the coaching staff have consistently pushed this kid, let's support their vision and get behind JWP. He maybe the CM that we build a team around and not let leave, ie pay him enough to stay! It will be interesting if he us our captain in a few years, if that happens, then those coaches that had picked him out as a kid are truly world class!. I was at a talk given by Les Reed and he was singing his praises really highly - apparently he is really clever and could have gone to Oxford or Cambridge Uni. Think you are correct and the club are pushing him to reach new heights and his potential.

If you get the chance do the Ringwood Brewery Tour - was completed smashed at the end. Brilliant tour and beer.

Seen him a few times this year and the pick of the bunch. Will make it I think as can read it well and very comfortable with ball.

is your nephew the central defender - captain?

Yes the u16's is true - in the last few games they have had a few trialists in. The one's they offered them too are good though. Its not a new thing though as I know under Poch we had trialists in from all over Europe.
