Crab Lungs

I'd rather we played our best line up... I think if we played the Stoke lineup, we'd be Reading'd

It's this kind of stupidity that does my head in... and it's hardly isolated on here.

So being booed and jeered by your own fans on your home debut had nothing to do with his reaction? Our fans can be awesome, especially away, but at home, we're sometimes right ****s. Boruc was regarded as one of the best in the world, he should be given an opportunity with us.

He's from the Neil Allen school of investigative journalism

Sums up the City of Stoke, in a way... (no offence VFTT, though I know you don't live there anyway!)

36.

I think Guly's been on there books before, they won't fall for that one

Theo was awesome, incredible. I suspect we'll see Welbeck and Sturridge ahead of him for England though, obviously.

Last time we went away and "had" to win, we did. Lambert will have them fired up for this one so... and hard works beats talent if talent doesn't work hard, so we have to match them. Make no mistake though, they're a f()cking terrible outfit.

Btw, should have got Mark Bunn in the summer...

He's not a Premier League keeper, it's simple. We've got someone who was once touted as one of the world's best goalkeepers sitting on the bench. Use him, ffs.

Guly isn't totally to blame.. other players had ample enough opportunity to put the game to bed but didn't... and Adkins decision to go all defensive just invited them onto us. Still, a point is decent but I feel gutted than we didn't get all three. Fantastic support from the fans AGAIN

Saints winning Pompey losing Overall =

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: The south coast's mega club hindered by the pitch, surely?

I think Adkins want to save Ramirez from being kicked off the park today...

Superb centre half, watched him a number of times as well summer target Biyik. I'd prefer Biyik as he's a complete man mountain but Astori is also a superb alternative. He's more than just a stopper, he's also not bad with the ball too.

Has anyone watched much of it this year? Due to my betting, I've managed to take in quite a few games and have to say, thoroughly enjoyed it... especially Roma under Zeman, wow. Anyway, has anyone ever been to an Italian football match (in particular, Roma) and can they recommend any places to stay/go to in Rome? Thinking about going out there for either the Inter or Cagliari game. Ta in advance!

They looked at him after they sacked Kean, apparently this guy only just missed out. Should be interesting to watch how this develops...

Matt Mills?

No. We should treat him with the contempt he so clearly deserves.

Ah, of course. The pitch. I knew something must have prevented them from steaming to victory.

It was an absolute surprise they appointed him anyway. He's been mediocre as best as a manager. Mark Hughes incoming IMO

This. Besides, there isn't a striker available to us on the bench I'd swap him for. If he was to get injured now, it'd likely throw our gameplan into chaos. We'd have to integrate someone else into the side, they'd have to get familiar with the players around him and that takes time etc... He should be our first choice striker, regardless, until the end of the season. Then we can review the situation.

What's the latest from the propaganda office? Was the referee overawed by the big occasion and were Crawley playing their cup final?

Lambert is arguably one of our most intelligent footballers on the field. It's the mobility he doesn't have.
