Seabourne signed on a 3.5 year deal

ITV site gone down? PFC hijacking it - move along, nothing to see! Of course we're winning and in the final...

Maybe it's just the cold but he looks like he wants to cry :smt090

Exactly! If he doesn't get paid Portpin exercise their legal charge and, potentially, bye bye FP. It would more likely be a case of TAKING ownership by way of exercising the charge and then renting back to PFC.

'I can sympathise with supporters and I can understand their frustrations, but they have to realise the perilous state the club was in October 2009. 'They have got to appreciate the huge strides we have made since to stabilise the club, to get us into the position now where we have a fighting chance to survive in the Premier League and to move on.' Who is more in denial here?

£14m for Kaboul? Yeah right! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1242178/Portsmouth-play-hardball-Sunderland-Manchester-City-Younes-Kaboul.html

Certainly sounded an improvement until the first goal then lost a bit of composure and let them grab another. Definitely encouraging though

Agreed. It does add credence to the idea that he was on appearance bonuses so was dropped in order to save money. Should never have happened.

Agreed. If the work ethic isn't there then the rules should be enforced even if some are stupid rules. It's probably a case of if they want to behave like spoilt children then that's how he'll treat them. Once the work ethic is there and the player demonstrate that they are serious and up for it then the regime will probably relax. Results will only come with hard work, VERY hard work, and the soomer this is realised by everyone the better.

Sounds like we're playing better

DoF then?

Then it's a good job he isn't one.

Mixed thoughts from them about him.

We probably are but when you think that our corner takers can't get the ball past the first man the practice won't include a high ball in the centre That's why they all look so lost.

Oh sh*t

And the team is: Davis Harding Thomas Lancashire james Mellis Spiderman wotton Lallana Lambert Paterson

Thank goodness for Super Kelv!

Bring on Mellis!

At least Saints Player seems to be behaving itself today.

I know a number of others said it as well but the stream kept stopping and had to rebuffer during the cup game. Hopefully it's just teething problems. Otherwise, why offer a high quality stream if your infrastructure can't support it? (I'm on a 20MB connection so it's not as if I've got speed issues )

As I've said before, we always bring our kids and sit in the family section. I don't agree with swearing in this section but it doesn't mean you can't shout out (as long as it's clean) and sing along. Why some who sit there feel that they've got to be inanimate, though, is beyond me. They should show some passion and show the kids what it means to support the team or they'll grow up to be a silent generation and St Mary's will get like the Emirates.

When we came down for the Ajax game my wife spent half of th match saying he was too small and his shorts met his socks If he has time on the ball he can be effective but IMO - especially in lower leagues - he is too lightweight and easily powered of the ball. You don't get time in the lower leagues. Can see why AP would want a presence instead.

Was there a chorus of the Lambert yellow submarine song after he scored?

Excellent stuff! Great result.
