Great win, all 3 goals were fantastic. I'd love to stay up for the FL show but I'm dead on my feet. I'll iPlayer it in the am as I'm pretty sure it WASN'T a handball. We shall see. Night all.

I thought Chaplow was the mutts nuts when he came on. He's probably the central midfielder that is most likely to get a goal for us, but playing predominantly on the right, I thought he slotted right in. With Cork able to play at the back, and Chaplow seemingly doing well on the right, it bodes well for our versitility in these times of 5 subs.

Anyone know what the tatts on Lambert's arms say? We are definitely a very fit side. In the first half we closed down nearly everything, always harried after the ball, and still had enough in the tank to last the 90 minutes. If we keep this up, we will become a very difficult side to break down.

I think your deserves a of it's own! I like Cortese. He has an air of mystery about him, an eerie quietness that will one day manifest itself as a touchline rant into a microphone. (a la Delia.) I get the feeling that if he were a poker player, he'd be bloody difficult to read. He's doing a good job, especially in the absence of a former friend. He has to be careful with the money, especially as it's not his. But secretly, deep down, I reckon he's a genuine Saints fan who was desperate to buy into his favourite club and had to persuade a money man to come on board! Mmm, vino. A cup win and a promotion - he must be doing something right.

I loved the chants, they picked up really clearly on Sky. I can imagine the Skates crapping themselves at seeing how good we are. (When I say crapping themselves, I mean that stringy poo that comes out the back of goldfish.)

]My mates were talking to a Saints fan in a pub in Windsor today (shortly before I got there), and they said he had a 3-1 win bet. Come to think of it, Hatch, it wasn't you, was it? (Jammy bastard...)

I'd like to mention that I'm relieved we're out the relegation zone. I wouldn't have liked to have played West Ham and Watford in League One next season.

I might write a letter to HSBC. Last week I set up a standing order with the instruction that the money should come out on 01/08/2011 and every calendar month after that. There was then a box that asked me to spell it out. "The FIRST of AUGUST TWENTY ELEVEN and every calendar month after that". As I handed the form over, I told the counter clerk that I needed the money to come out on the FIRST of every month. She handed me a carbon copy of the standing order. I checked my account on Tuesday. No money had come out. I saw the same counter clerk lady who told me that I'D set it up to come out on the THIRD. Lying *****. She remembered me too, which pee'd me off a bit more. Now I have to amend the damn standing order. Thank God my landlord was understanding. Damn banks.

Overall it sounds like the club selling the key player in the deal most often gets screwed over!

Fusu backwards is Usuf. Usuf sounds like Yousef. Yousef el Nasri is a Spanish long distance runner. Samir Nasri is an Arsenal player that wants out. I conclude, it is Samir Nasri. I rest my case.

We will walk this league. Seriously I think we have the squad to beat anyone already, and that's before any additions are made in August and January. Losing Oxo would be a blow, but I think overall people are being over-cautious. Look to finish first this season, anything else, bar relegation battles, is a good season.

The six game deal actually seems like quite a good deal. I cannot visit SMS often enough for warranting a season ticket die to work, and even if I could I'm not sure I could afford it either. I visit SMS about 12 times a season, and that deal at Southampton would seem excellent value, especially as the local derby isn't excluded from the list of fixtures.

The Puncheon offer from QPR for cash + Gorkss got me thinking whether player exchanges are a good idea or a bad idea. I see today in the BBC Gossip column that Tottenham are after Christopher Samba, and are offering cash and any of Defoe, Bassong, Keane or Bentley in exchange. At first glance, I would take all four of those as an exchange deal, but the wages and player's willingness to defer to Blackburn would have to be taken into account. I was racking my brains thinking about the times we have had a player exchanged for one of our players. We all reckon we got stiffed by Tottenham when we pulled off the masterstroke of getting Forecast in as part-exchange for Bale, but I remember at the time with the re-signing of Kevin Davies (and the loss of Ostenstadt) that it seemed like a good deal considering their ages and potential. Graeme Le Saux was a fairly decent stop gap for Bridge's departure to Chelsea too. Are there any more examples of a Saints player-exchange that I've forgotten, and do you think it is a good idea to sign a player in exchange that may not want to be here in the first place?

I take it we're not signing Antonio then. Whilst selection headaches are heaven for some, I wonder how Lallana, Guly, De Ridder, Oxo and even Forte will fit into two slots! Oh, and Holmes too.

Doncaster fans are getting ripped off good and proper.

Seems a great way for one lucky fan to tell their grandchildren that they were there when Portsmouth had a football team.

Lallana. Better than Messi fo sho.

Can you dip a Bourbon biscuit in Bourbon safely?

2. I think we have the quality to make the play-offs. Cup half full, and all that jazz.

Portsmouth's branch of Rymans must be wondering why plain brown envelopes are their best seller.

And he wanted to wait for an offer from the Premiership.

I'm sleepy and horny. Tevez is an ugly git. We only want sexy footballers playing for us!

Carlos Es-Tevez is Charlie Sheen's real name. Fact.

I've got it nailed on. Even if my midfield is toilet.

I wish I'd known about this thread 2 minutes ago. It was a stinger.
