Ohio Saint

To be fair to Puel, we don't know what their instructions were.

I'm OK/disappointed. Not sure what will happen against the better teams this season.

Down to 10, I would hope we would do the same!

Tadic MOM for me.

A booking is supposed to be 30 seconds added on, we didn't get that

straight red all the way

your opinion of our performance is directly proportional to the scoreline

I'm such a tosser!!!!

Redmond trying too hard to do too much too often

Remember, all is not lost!!

I'm not so negative either. We can still win this.....However, under a new manager, there is a huge space in knowing what we can expect in terms of what half time means to us now.

Very disappointing for a long spell, but we are growing into the game. If we go 2 down, at least we will get to see if we have a Plan B under Puel.

If we are gonna get back in this we need some corners and free kicks

I'd forgotten how much I hate footy.

We need to catch up with Hull! COYS!!

Oh crap!! Our goals scored tally is going to take a nose dive!!!!

This is one reason I don't worry about not being able to listen to his interviews. It seems like he does it all where it matters. I hope that's the case, anyway!

I've tried. I have honestly tried, but I find Puel unlistenable. I don't have the attention span or the fortitude to get past 30 seconds. I just hope I didn't miss anything important. Anyhoo...As long as he does a good job for us, I won't care about that. I just hope that the Arabian Eric doesn't have to rely on posting pics of the 'nonne sexy' to get us the results we need. I'll still be taking lucky fag breaks though......And all the experts on this forum think it's all about formations!!!

Absolutely! My only prediction for Saturday is that by half time i will be on the outside of a couple of beers, and by full time i will be emotionally stressed in some way, good or bad.

That's the way I see it going if this scheme works. Good news for all optimists!

More away fans = more incentive for Saints fans to out sing them = more atmosphere = higher profile on TV = more recognition = more cash in the long term. I can see how it would be galling for Saints supporters, but in the grand scheme of things, anything that gets more full stadia in footy a plus.

If my wife were married to my kids I would just move out of Pompey

I agree. Footy is a ton of fun....It's even more fun when you immerse yourself fully in the business of being a fan. That involves more than just cheering the good stuff. It means being involved in every element of team spirit, and even dissing those that have proved themselves to be anti-team. I love this game, not because it brings out the best in me, I love it because it brings out ALL in me.....Even if the all in me would not be acceptable in my real-world life.

I'm surprised there have been no jokes yet about the size of the lumberjacks chopper! Edit: oops! Replied to my own post instead of editing the last one. Barmaid? Cut this guy off!

The level headed, more mature part of me says it's none of my business, and why should i care. However, I also have a little cartoon devil sitting on my right shoulder, and he is whispering stuff in my ear and having an absolute field day! I do get that we should just move on and put pettiness aside, but......but.....I just don't need to grow up right now!
