You're right in that we need to know relatively early. It would be stupid to sell him last day of July, and then only have a week to get sorted for the new season. Personally, Cortese strikes me as stubborn, but well within the interests of the football club. It is him who will have the ultimate say. If he turns around and rejects offers of £10 million then so be it, there isn't a lot anyone can do about it. At 17, Chamberlain has so much time on his hands and I think he'll stay for next season, get some invaluable experience and then go from there. Saying all that, it still wouldn't suprise me if we cashed in.

How could anyone living in Millbrook possibly have any amount of talent?

He confirmed it (pretty much) in his interview before the game. He will leave, no question.

Hudds were absolutely terrible and got what they deserved. I thought they were lucky to get past Bournemouth. Still, a good result for Saints I think.

Because without CMS they aren't up to much.

3-0! Game over.

Hudds have been very poor today.

I'm pretty pleased actually, they will be weaker then what hudds would have been next year.

2-0!!

I can't belive so many people have taken this seriously (except the skate). How do some of you leave the house in the morning?

I've fancied Posh all week and i've seen nothing so far to change my mind. I think Hudds unbeaten run has been a bit deceiving because I dont think they are that impressive.

Quite. I was chucked out of a professional team at 17. Their reason? I wasn't "strong or big enough for the professional game". Just about sums up the problem that still exists in this country. Look at Messi, Villa, Xavi and Iniesta! Makes me sick.

On a separate note, does anyone else think Citeh would have given them a much better game last night. I think they'll win the Prem comfortably next season and also do well in the Champs League.

Barcelona at evens was like walking into a money printing factory that was located next to a bank with a free cash giveaway. Amazing value.

As predicted. An absolute masterclass. The best team the world has ever seen.

This has been absolutely woeful.

Buy a water softener.

United won't be able to get the ball off them. An easy Barca win, United are poor enough as it is away from OT.

17th June.

If England, Spain and Italy left FIFA then that is all it would need. Won't happen though, although I am looking forward to them all turning on each other shortly.

Football talk on the forum? In pre-season? Mental!

"We were very close to a deal a few weeks ago. There was a difference in our finances but we could have come to an agreement. We weren’t that far away – 100 per cent he could have been ours." Of course he could have Steve. Bless him.

I'm also best man to my brother next year, my speech is what i'm looking forward to most!

I know a couple of people who have now had their cards charged.

Had the radio on this morning and second in the news headlines started with "Portsmouth has been taken over......." but then went on to talk about some naval rubbish. The heart skipped a beat just for a moment!
