Perhaps I should have said "Jermaine Wright"

Rasiak had 9 (probably mostly sub) appearances in the Premier League... I'd hardly call him a failure! Who knows, who might have gone on to do well in the PL - if he was given the opportunity. I could also mention to you: Tony Warner, a notoriously terrible goalkeeper at whatever level. Boaz Myhill, a top goalkeeper at all four professional levels...

Interesting from Tartan Owl, thank you for setting my straight on the Sheff U/Sheff W situation! I've seen a few people leave out Wolves... I thought, with their history and their crowds they might sneak in above WBA? As for Southampton, it's difficult but I think they might just be in the top 20 clubs. That said, there are so many of a similar size; Derby, Leicester, Coventry, Sheff U, Ipswich, Norwich, Brum etc...

No, I don't, and I reference you on both the above players - hardly playing in great sides, were they? I'm sure if McSheffrey was actually given a decent run in, say, a Fulham side he'd have done OK. Earnshaw is a different matter but do you really think if he was given more chances in a better side he wouldn't put them away, say, for example, at Spurs? Seaborne would still be affected at Conference level, it wouldn't matter. He'd still do the same things and make the same judgements.

Adam Stansfield, of Exeter City, has passed away http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/exeter_city/8902976.stm RIP Adam

I've seen enough of Seaborne to confidently say he won't improve. I remember comments from people who said the likes of the abysmal Mikael Nilsson and Andreas Jakobsson would be "amazing" in the Championship just because they couldn't hack it in the Prem. Thankfully, they didn't hang around long enough to prove my point but I maintain that if you're a bad player, you're a bad player - it won't matter what level you go down to in professional football, you'll still be bad. It's just a matter of HOW bad. For example, Paul Telfer. Djimi Traore... and so forth. The same rule applies to talented players too, in some respects. I've no doubt Rickie Lambert could do a decent job in the Premier League. I mean... does anyone seriously thinks he'd be less effective than Heskey, Kevin Davies etc? I certainly don't...

And that person is...? :S

Absolutely bang on, ART. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has continued to maintain that our supporters are some of the biggest and most ungrateful whingers in football.

Biggest attendance in all of the cup games tonight by around 5,000... massive clubs such as Sheff Wed, Leeds, Leicester all fell massively short...

Take that you werthers sucking, coach travelling, bingo bothering bunch of ungrateful, snotty-nosed shysters

Goes to penalties Bring on Bialkowski

Totally agree.... Surprise... ex-employee in ****ed off shocker!

But don't Sheff United average more than Wednesday? I had that dilemma... my initial suggestion was Wednesday, then I thought about United... then I considered that maybe, just maybe, they are both Premier League sized clubs.

So... one of the many discussions I've had amongst my group of friends are who are the twenty biggest football clubs in the land (in terms of attendances, but with a small emphasis on trophies) and what would be the ideal Premier League lineup? There are obvious omissions like Blackburn, Blackpool, Bolton and Wigan, that's a given. There are also obvious stalwarts, such as United, City, Liverpool and Arsenal. But what of the rest? What would be your top 20 english clubs?

I like Ian Darke but it was sickening last night. Especially referring to how good their fans are; for a start, Stevenage Boro fans outsung them all night. For seconds, he didn't once mention their paltry away followings at Wigan, Sunderland etc .... Poor old Pompey, eh?

Not a lot of sympathy here. and deservedly so: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1155552&page=2 I remember I got panned for being so insensitive and daring enough to criticise them during a love-in... If they're not guilty of her death, they are most definitely guilty of child negligence.

I must be looking at the wrong squad then as I thought we are desperately short 1 CB, 1 CM (possibly 2), 1 LW and an alternative to Rickie? :-s

Brilliant... and the Skates continue to flick the V's...

Anyone for pocketing some charity money? Stan taking the **** out of Dave Nugent's "image rights"

Stan Collymore on now.... this is going to be interesting..

Talksport ripping Pompey apart... Taxman NOT going to appeal the decision

Going on what I heard yesterday, PFC are mudslinging and roping in everyone else as a factor to their "problems".... so if they go, everyone suffers. What a lovely little club.

lmao @ US Baggage Handler

No, allow me to doff my hat to you
