I'd imagine Kelvin will be first choice, at least to start with, but I'd like to see Bart start to break through and challenge for a first team place this season.

Slightly disappointing to lose, but at least it sounded like a good run out and an entertaining game

That's actually quite funny

all draws go to a penalty shoot out, 2 points for the winner of the shootout, 1 for the loser.

Don't think any of them would be in the first 11 now.

He seems to be two footed so I can see him and Lallana swapping wings every so often if we're playing Lallana out wide.

I love that this club can sign good (just from what I've seen on youtube, OS etc. hopefully he lives up to it) players out of the blue like that.

The pub!

Is that the same league as last year?

By that logic, if we're going to keep him here this season on the basis it'd cost more to replace him than we'd lose by keeping him here a season, might be we end up keeping him here next season as well as we'd still be due compensation at the end of his contract due to him being a youth player.

... Well that little feeling of hope didn't last long!

The squad numbers being released today (With Chambo at 11) almost feels like a direct response to these quotes.

That's fine, but the press (especially The Sun) has a pretty rubbish reputation right now... it's no good trying to play the 'integrity of the press' card atm.

Huge surprise to see there was no press conference(!)

I see the 'quality over quantity' approach that relies on no injuries is already working... http://www.talksport.co.uk/radio/transfer-talk-show/blog/2011-07-16/video-ouch-john-terry-boots-luke-varney-face I wonder if they'll have a full subs bench when the season starts in... oh, three weeks?

Turkish, you've made your point. People obviously want to discuss what the new kit might look like, so please, just let them.

He's about 2 years too late and 20 miles too far west for that.

Hunting is funny. Geeking is hilarious.

Bet you can't get Northam singing that before the end of the season!

Great that we've finally signed him Our midfield looks sorted now, if we manage to keep hold of Oxo for this season. Now... have Hampshire and Saints ever had players with the same surname at the same time before?

or like the old Stern John chant.... Jaaaaaaa-ack Cork, Jaaaaa-ack, Jaaaaaaaa-ack Cork....

Although Niemi was no ordinary player for us... it wasn't his job to be up front, and that shot he had that went off the bar...

If it was iPad you'd have said iPad instead of laptop. If you're going out to wifi hotspots just to wind up people on a forum that's even funnier. And if you're telling the truth your ITK transfer gossip is as likely to be accurate as any other ITK transfer gossip on here. But you're not telling the truth, you clearly thought just using a different computer would result in a different IP address. Changing your story to fit in with what you've just learned might work in a spoken argument sometimes, but it utterly falls down when all the facts are laid out and recorded, as you've already found out with the epic slam down you were a victim of the last time you disappeared. Now... I have a question for you. Do you think the media have finished with Pompey yet? Are you confident that we won't be seeing more stories about how it all went wrong yet again?
