Oh I realise how unlikely it is, and I wouldn't bother putting any bets on any Pompey games after February just yet. (not that I normally bet at all normally anyway...) The deciding factor on whether they survive will be how much debt adminstration lets them walk away from.

Probably, yeah. But who here thought WE would get an owner reportedly the third richest in English football?

There is one way out for them, but it involves a very rich person coming in and taking over, paying everything off, like happened with us. It doesn't look likely I'll admit, but as long as they're still alive there's hope. I remember getting ready to just watch the Prem as an interested outsider with no team to support last summer but it turned out ok for us in the end A weekend is never nicer than when Saints have won and Pompey have lost... I don't want to lose that.

'Gearing up nicely for an unlikely playoff push' according to the highlights

Just back. We were by far the better team in the first half, went 2-0 up, they had a man sent off, got to half time. We were completely off the pace the second half, 2 up and cruising against 10 men I guess, but that let them score. That stung us awake and although we still struggled a bit, there was always the chance we'd score on the counter, and bringing Papa on was a good move, defender looked like he wasn't moving at all compared to Papa bursting past him to score the winner. Good three points all in all and top half and only 7 off of the playoffs now, although having played more games.

winning 6-3 against Man U... (you didn't say WHICH decade )

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

3rd richest owner now? I guess that puts us just behind Chelsea and Man City then... I wonder if we'll end up doing the same as them... would be a dream to see us win the Prem eventually...

The fact that a loss is a distict rarity these days for Saints, and it was an honest even match that could have gone either way, helps as well.

still 9 points off playoffs... not such a bad day.

crap thought we'd scored.

ah crap >_

holy... wow! We CAN win this!

weak ref... fortunately!

COME ON!!!! Time for us to force some chances....

Bristol Rovers losing... only 8 points off playoffs as things stand... Hopefully things will stay at least this good

bloomin' 'eck!

How long is it since Saints didn't score? I say Leeds are gonna have to score if THEY want to get anything from this game.

That'll liven things up a bit next season

Interesting.
