Sheaf Saint

Well, they weren't playing too badly before they had to sell their most valuable players and repalce them with low-value loanees and frees.

That's assuming they haven't pulled the plug on it again though

http://http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/portsmouth-confirm-yet-another-takeover-1889332.html Some very worrying points about this article.... Wasn't that SBT's remit? Good luck trying to find somebody stupid enough to buy into a sinking ship. Just in case any pompey fans were genuinely thinking that this move is good news for the club. Keeping Storrie will not solve any of their problems IMO.

I'll probably be driving home and will therefore miss this historic occasion :-(

Is that in case pompey do get wound up on the 10th and we end up playing against our reserve team instead?

I've been away since saturday morning and don't have time to trawl through the seemingly hundreds of new posts since I was last online. Can anyone summarise the weekends goings-on for me?

http://http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/portsmouth-wages-rest-on-kaboul-deal-1883327.html Ermm, I've got news for you Avram. You already ARE in trouble - player sales or no player sales.

In which case I hope he plays. I remember watching the players coming out of the tunnel for that game on TV and Antti had a look on his face similar to a rabbit caught in headlights.

And......????

I don't know. Last time Saints v Pompey in the cup was shown on telly, we won 2-1 if I remember rightly.

Is this the very same Harry Redknapp who only the other day was quoted as saying that Spurs would have to break their exisitng wage structure to bring Ruud Van Nistelrooy to WHL? Doesn't know what his players are earning? He obviously studied hard at the Peter Storrie school of bullsh1tting the public!

Try now. I saw what I did wrong.

Just in case anybody was still in any doubt...... http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=151859102

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20100124/video/vuk-seventeen-arrested-at-right-wing-pro-37e89e1.html Or not, as it would appear. Still, I'm sure our resident defenders of the EDL will come along soon and tell us that they are actually a non-violent organisation and are just the victims of propaganda, or some other equally less believeable load of BS.

I need a cup of tea and a biscuit after that finale! Sounds like we totally deserved the win though.

THANk FOOK FOR THAT!!!!!!!!!!

It's cos Lancashire has come on

5 minutes? WTF!?

It's all your fault you ****

Didn't he play under Pardew at Charlton? I reckon he could be a very good signing at this level from what I remember of him.

Couldn't really ask for much more than that. I only saw the second half and missed the penalty incident so can't make a judgement, but I thought Saints kept the ball well and didn't panic when we went down to 10 men. Ref had a bit of a shocker but we should be used to that by now in L1. Clean sheet away from home and now we have the psychological edge for the return leg at SMS. Bring it on!!!

Cracking effort from James!

What's that linesman on FFS!?!?!?!

Not a bad effort that from James

Of course I understand them. You 'believe' he was morally wrong, because that is your reasoned opinion after clearly giving the matter some thought. I totally respect that. But whether you are correct or not, do you think he was capable, in the heat of the moment, of thinking "Hmmm, perhaps I had better not give this guy a beating because it might be morally wrong"? Somehow I doubt it. It's all very well you saying that you think he was morally wrong, but in my opinion he wasn't in any position to make such a judgement himself at the time, so it is not for you or I to judge his actions because we clearly have no concept of what emotions he was feeling when he did what he did. I agree that he should have faced some kind of reprimand because what he did to the guy was clearly a violent, unlawful act and nobody should be above the law. But his sentence for it should reflect the circumstances of the case and I am glad that his appeal has been partially successful on that basis.
