I would need a shower after posting something like that. Avram would know the feeling.

SWP over Walcott is the wrong call. As is Heskey over just about anyone. Hart in goal, Cole in the middle and Rooney up front with Crouch and we have a shout. Don't let Lampard take the penalties - he's got the jitters.

Agreed. But why can't people grasp that practising improves the odds?

Smyth is a joke on ESPN. He had the Champions League final and Schneider played the ball to Melito for the first goal. He said that ROBBEN had made the pass FIVE times, despite Robben being on the other side! The other classic was 'he had the defender turning this way and that, like a leaf in a strong wind'. FFS.

Don't forget the influence of Ray Clemence and Sammy Lee in leaving Le Tiss out of that World Cup squad. Safety first boys all the way. They are part of the reason England haven't won the World Cup for 44 years.

'We are doggedly determined to protecting the integrity of our competitions' 'As a League we have to be innovative to protect the integrity of our competition' 'We will continue to innovate to protect our competitions' Tad Detko Financial Director Football League Accountancy Magazine May 2010 Paying your creditors 20p in the pound then trading with a 10M salary budget in the CCC isn't going to sit well.

SBS over here in Australia. The punditry is shockingly bad though - the anchor chap barely understands the rules of the game and has a terrible tendency to do the oh er ums when trying to link in the studio 'experts'. Makes ITV look classy.

David James as Manager? I hope so. During the most turbulent close season in the clubs history Jamo will be where? Grooming his cornrows on the veldt I would imagine and being grateful as **** that he is thousands of miles away from Portsmouth.

I have two teenage boys - one supports Saints, the other Argyle. So I for one see evidence of a rivalry! I am hoping that next season we won't have any rivals. We have the POTENTIAL to win the league, with fresh air coming in second.

I am finding it hard to engage with the mascots on any sort of level. Do they come with music and dancing in the UK? What does Simon Cowell think? The names are cool though.

That whole story and the comments are like Alice in Wonderland. The mongs really think they might have a shot at a return to the Prem next season. Even if they go unpunished in terms of a points deduction (and I think that is highly unlikely) they are going to raise bugger all from their firesale of relegated losers and will have a squad full of nobodies next season, losing in front of small crowds in a crumbling ground. Newport County will pass them on their way down.

If I ran a football club that had arrears of tax - or was thinking of running some up to fund a promotion campaign - I would be watching the way HMRC deal with Pompey very closely. If they get away with it, by which I mean the team gets to carry on without further penalty, then blowing the Revenue off becomes a very attractive strategy.

I used to love the surface - you got a real consistent run on the ball and a consistent bounce. Even if it was 30 foot in the air. When I was playing BT Marine were the whipping boys and Hawk Dynamo were ripping it up. Parked the bus against them once and got a 0-0 - they were not happy!! A personal highlight was playing against Mark Whitlock up there. What was the pub at the top of the hill by the entrance?

Is this still going? I remember playing in this on Wednesday nights up on the all weather pitches at the Sports Centre. Remember being gutted when Saints shifted home midweek games to Wednesdays. Was a very good standard as I recall. Anyone else play in it?

Just listened to Spoony on 606 from the weekend on the podcast. So much fawning over the few - he has gone right down in my estimation.

Would be a good addition to the squad. But so would Lionel Messi and the Mail might be linking him tomorrow. It really is a rag and it's ridiculous postulations are not worthy of a thread with over 50 posts.

That challenge on Ballack by Boateng was scandalous and as I recall didn't even get a yellow. What a shocking refereeing error.

What he said. Bloke was a twerp in a tie and jacket.

Disappointed with Chelsea on the day. Thought they were gash. Enough to beat the fish fiddlers though, so it could have been worse. But on that performance, a very poor side to get the double. And if Lampard goes near a penalty for England I am hiding behind the sofa.

No arguments with any of those on the released list. Lloyd James might have developed into a decent midfielder, other than that, just a few more to follow them out of the door in due course and that's pretty much all of the main culprits for the season before last gone.

Daily Mail and the Echo = Comics. Not fit to quarter and hang in the bog. Total bullsh1t from the reporters, who should be carpeted for writing articles purporting to be ITK but actually based on absolutely nothing. Unprofessional at best and deserving of a good kicking at worst.

Top stuff - that dart into Maradona's hand.......quality
