Doubt anyone can. Club clearly want him to stay and he seems to want to so why worry?

doubt its accuracy.

this team would have got us promoted last season but for the -10.

he didn't

Barnard and Dickson looked decent defence solid lots of new faces tried in 2nd half

its clear because they are so f'ing good, mile above anything other teams have in this division and therefore irreplaceable

not far from what some would want!

impressive this ban http://www.portsmouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=206839

link and clips in tranfer thread

with Pardew's excellent track record in transfer market, finding what we need and attracting good players - many who we had never heard of, and fact he has said he hasn't finished - I am pretty relaxed about it

is Puncheon left footed?

its is all speculation at mo - although does sound strange. Clearly more to this story than we currently know

I don't have a problem with him, he clearly enjoys the media and likes being interviewed - a lot of people do, why shouldn't he comment if asked?

Meanwhile as we wait for the actual evidence of Nicola Cortesse's appalling behavior to be produced I shall continue to suspect that a large part of the hostility directed at Cortesse on here is based on little more than pure jealousy . could equally apply.

what are we waiting for then, all this wasted summer!

after 4 games, 8 points will be automatic promotion form or there abouts (although due to small number of games other teams may have more). 6 out of 12 is hardly an unrecoverable disaster...win next game and you are on 9 from 5 games -just about on target. Having said that I will be disappointed if we are as low as that

only if we were losing, most fans don't care about board just the team - rightly so

The only temper tantrum is yours, others are just disagreeing. Including Pardew but we're still hoping to bring one or two players in before we start. "We might not secure them but we'll be pretty close - I'm pretty confident we can start the season with the squad we've got but we do want a couple more additions - maybe three."

this side and squad if it performs as a team is good enough to win this league. I agree with AP on that. He has said there maybe two or three in by season starts - even then there is the busiest part of window left. With the very little you know not sure how you can judge this as poor summers work - best bit of business is keeping squad together (or is it early days still!!)

believe two of signings can/have played in midfield, one CM in CCC last year with good reviews, another CM apparently played quite well on trial this week, club and Bart both said he is going to sign contract, plenty of window left imho

still sneering I'm afraid!

why were your mum and Michael Winner arguing?

Not sure football should ban him, due to complex rehabilitation of offender debate - but don't think any club should answer the phone to the agent of this scum. Put it this way, if we signed him, it was 0-0 with minute to go in FA Cup final, we get a penalty, I would hope he misses rather than celebrate him.

This morning Solent sports news update: GK crisis, want to re-sign Ashdown who was released at end of season to be No1 this season. Primus testimonial tomorrow. (not many tickets sold) Storrie will severe all ties to club at weekend.

I know this is a common view, but the thing the does for me is NC would have seen how popular AP was all season, cheered at St Marys and JPT final. The echo can't hold their head up high for two articles, one talking about Lowe and one when they mocked the link to Italy saying no-one had heard of him then had to retract. They were petty two. Editor, NI, NC - seems battles of big egos.
