Crab Lungs

Well I wasn't at all impressed, they're still a massive bunch of bitter retards and from the looks of things, always will be - except now they've got their new stadium, they're getting a bit above themselves.

We do need to think about our option if/when Fonte/Lallana/Lambert get injured, so definitely a centre-back and striker for me. De Ridder seems to fit the "Lallana" role, it would appear (though not directly the same, similar attributes)

That's what I reckon... or sadly, the ol' Billy Davies tactic of kicking the crap out of the most influential players and bullying your way to victory

Only three games in a 46 game season (excluding Cups, of course) and we've still got another twenty teams to play..... and, as you might expect, there will probably be a few other clubs taking extra-special notice of our early season form and looking at ways to nullify/stifle us... If we're still there or thereabouts come November, I'm really going to start dreaming!

Another Ipswich perspective; Southampton tore us apart at times. They were dominant in midfield, classy in keeping the ball and clinical in front of goal. 3-0 at the half probably flattered us. The most frustrating thing for me in the first half was the lack of options given by our players off the ball. Time and again Andrews would come and collect the ball from Delaney, would turn out and find nothing to offer a pass to. Chopra has an excellent mind for the game but when he is the only player making a move it is easy to pick up. We brought Martin and JET on at half time (surprisingly keeping Leadbitter out wide and the awful Bowyer in the middle) for Scotland and Kennedy. Tad harsh on Scotland I thought who did nothing wrong. We seemed to be really up for the 2nd half and raced out of the blocks, scoring two goals relatively quickly, while all the time looking keen to concede a 4th. That fourth eventually came from the outstanding Lallana, one of the best players in the league for me. That goal took the wind out of us and we were a defeated and spent team. 5-2 probably flattered us in the end.

Yep. Me. Couldn't resist. But he retorted; "SC-UM-MER" facepalm.

With a little bit of luck, they will. I think if Clotts is in charge for the full season they have an excellent chance... then it'll be 8,000 average attendances at the arena...

Plus, we still need a CB and possibly another striker. It's a 50 games+ season...

Just as I posted on another thread in reply to anyone concerned that a new signing would rock the boat: I think Nige thoroughly vets them character wise and works to a wage structure, so that would be unlikely to happen.

One from FB: One of the best Championship sides I have ever seen....shame it wasn't Ipswich!!

I honestly thought that after reading and before clicking the title of this thread, it would be about John W******d.

ROFL at Pompey fans arguing with Saints fans on Facebook; "90% of all scum fans are Indians and pakastanis ! They built your stadium in mini asia, and even ur ticket office is on the corner to please the community. Oh and isnt ur top player an anagram of ALL ANAL just like the scummers like it ? Night scummers" Nice. "Well if the £130 million in debt is something, I can name at least 3 PL teams that have at least that, if not more. Attendances?? When doo the likes of us ever get to a midweek game anyway! Sliding down?? Well 43 games later lets have another look. Yep, pompey is the place with the bell ringer, sure is. Well done, you managed a word with 2 syllables. Lets try advanced, 3 of them - SCUMMER" They still don't get it.

Small-time, revolting club with no principles. Football's karmic God's are resetting the balance...

13,000 @ Fratton Park tonight? Massive club. LMFAO.

Good striker, another one to add to an already colossal wage bill. Disgusting club.

£7.5m? Seriously? -------> :-/

http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=364837 Looks like the few are becoming fewer by the day....Lolz.

Lolz, with a history of bungs he'd be an ideal candidate. Make sure you burn the paper trail(s), Limpitt

That's what I heard also. Another £30k on the wage bill of the shameless sh1tc()nts down the road. And f()ck1ng hell, doesn't Clotterill moan?

SaintsWeb has spoken again, close the thread. Beattie is not wanted.

Mikael Nilsson bottling 90-10 favour challenges. Other than that, the continuous lynching of Calum Davenport as opposed to Andreas Jakobsson post-relegation season embarrasses me, though that's from the fans.

They will, with a bit of luck. Lolz.

Seaborne got mentioned a lot today, in a positive sense too... can't wait to hear what the people who were also at the game made of him. And in other news... The Cortese matchday programme debacle once again continues to affect Saints form. He's ruining our club FFS
