So did I!! Different age group though.Happy times they were.

I thought it was a great atmosphere, good noise from us and Leeds fans were decent as usual despite thier teams performance, cant believe people can find something to moan about today.

I'm confused. Where are all these people that have been saying all summer that he is sh*t and doesn't deserve a place in the team. Hello?? You must be out there somewhere....

HOw did the atmosphere come across on the telly?

Quite a few on here, someone said last week that he wasnt a leader. Cant remember specific names, but he was a whipping boy a lot last season when things weren't going great for us and a lot on here were saying last week that he doesn't deserve a place. I have been a fan of Hammond ever since he joined us and agree with you comments BTW. Think our fans massively underestmate his contribution.

He is a dish.

A few did look leaner, also Richardson appears to have bulked up a bit, looked very muscular. I'd quite like to see him with his shirt off.

That's strange as we were told last week he isn't a leader. I agree though, it's no coincidence that generally when he plays well Saints play well.

Cork and AL seem to be exceptions to the norm. Cork clearly said earlier in the summer he just wants to play football, hence why he is leaving Chelsea. Compare that attitude with that of the majority and it's a money oriented industry where players will turn there back on the clubs they kiss the badge of one week for an extra £5k a week somewhere else. I am delighted with Corks signing, not only is he a good player but he also seems like a good guy who is here for the right reasons.

I was tailoring my debate to suit its participants.

I've never actually seen the lad play and probably like a lot of people on here, never heard of him until we were linked with him. If what people say about him is true then it will be a great signing and apparantly a done deal. What about you sweetheart? Do you think he is coming? Is he good looking? Got nice thighs? What's his hair like?

I thought he looked good, apart from that one moment in the first half. Kept it simple and cleared his lines, which is the first rule for any defender. The lad clearly has a good future ahead of him.

Dont be so utterly ridiculous.

I think you are a 16 year old girl.

I forgot to mention his awful first touch which will be a massive problem against Championship level midfielders.

I dont understand what you mean. We were told this was the case by our experts on here only last week.

Oh the irony. YOu just dont get it do you. The point is that these players didn't join Pompey because they always dreamed of playing for them, or they felt they could become world greats by training on Eastleigh playing fields, it's because the deal offered was the best deal on the table. The point is that players will go where the cash is, this has been proven time and time again. You had a pop at Saint Richmond for stating the bleeding obvious, if you want better players you have to pay for them. Of course in your silly little world you wont understand this.

is sh*t, he offers nothing, cant tackle, cant pass offers nothing is not a leader and is not up to it at this level. Discuss......

There is always something to moan about isn't there.

Do we all still think Hammond is sh*t and not up to it at level?
