It really wasn't as close as the scoreline suggested. We dominated except the 10 minute spell in the second half.

If it means we never get that incompetent ***** reffing our games in future then I'm all for it, well done Saints.

I got a new job minus a hellish commute, have purchased my first house and loved every minute following Saints up and down the country. I also had a pretty brilliant holiday in Las Vegas. 8.5 with an expectation that next year will be even better.

If Fonte was tactical i'd love to know the tactics.

Has he actually ever made a save? Anything on target appears to just go in.

'Some of the players have not recognised how fortunate they are to play for Portsmouth Football Club' Yes Richie. How fortunate they must feel....

This nobody manager looks like he'll provide more hours of entertainment.

It's all ok though, they still own Fratton and the fans are in charge!!

It really is quite astonishing how they play out the hero/villain sketch with virtually every player. Their "support" is embarrassing.

Well deserved. The only surprise was seeing the Sunderland fans break down crying when they dared to take the lead in this "nothing" competition. Who wants to win a cup anyway?

I just can't believe it has taken 48 posts for someone to mention the holidays.

Schools have their hands tied by the Government. The number of idiotic parents who think it's the individual schools fault though never ceases to amaze me. Just take the fine, the majority of schools/teachers understand.

Wonder if they'll move for MP?

I look forward to my 11% pay rise, as we are all in this together. Or is that only when it suits?

Like Bale, Ronaldo or Messi you mean?

Sod Antonio, we need De Ridder back. He has PACE, never stops running and always puts in 100% effort.

In 20 years time that lone freak will be known as the warrior of St Marys, the man who took down 3000 "facking scummahs" all by himself.

You don't think young Richie was tapped up do you? It wouldn't be like them to break the rules... Perhaps the Football League should be informed.

We always stay at Hotel 55, out in Ealing but right next to the tube. Great little place and reasonable prices for London. It's not that far out either to be honest.

FA Cup isn't midweek, all games are on a weekend and take priority over the league. Absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be playing a full strength team for each game.

Going up Friday-Sunday, think we'll win.

Why did Yoshida start over Fonte?

Think we'll get a hiding; Gazza, Clyne (Chambers), Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Wanyama (Davis), Morgan (JWP), Jay Rod, Lallana, Lambert, Osvaldo

Villa were ****e which makes it even more frustraitng. We were playing football suicide in the second half though. Playing 3 at the back up against their two was asking for trouble and they nearly caught us out twice before the third goal. It was a matter of time.
