It's going to be very tough, i'm not really focusing on the playoffs tbh - if we do make it, it will need to be a record breaking run of form from us. I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the season - it's nice to be able to kind of relax as a fan going into a run-in.

Tomorrow could be an interesting day, whatever happens!

If we play with the intensity that we have in the last 4 matches, then we'll have too much for Wycombe and the score could be anything we want. In the last couple of weeks we've started to regain that quality and 'punch' (exsue the pun ) that we have lacked since October through to December. According to Pard's comments, if the team won on Saturday (which it did!) - then it will stay the same for the next game.

the noises coming out of their forums at the moment, is that they're saved. announcement tomorrow apparently and the nutters who are taking them over will be investing substantial funds. (it's the south African consortium) if it's true, i don't get it, i really don't. Why do you spunk away the best part of £100m just to get Portsmouth stable? you'd then need to spend another 50-100m to have a competitive team and an infrastructure (i.e training ground) further up the country we have newcastle...massive club, 10x the size portsmouth will ever be, infrastructure is all there - available for about 60-70m. i can't get my head around what kind of nutter would even think of taking them over, let alone invest funds into it. jesus.

we'll be able to sing both next year

well exactly, more money than sense if that happens - which is why i'm a bit skeptical of it all, i assume the skates feel the same too. Wasn't Al-Mirage supposed to be redeveloping the stadium and training ground too? He was going to take them to a level that they wouldn't believe, which i guess he has done - just not the level they assumed.

I've got a feeling that this will go through and keep them going for the short-term - but i wonder if this deal is the best for their long-term future? or if it's someone else who will eventually just sell up again? According to reports though, this consortium has ''substantial wealth'' and aims to re-start the stadium project and training ground - but where have we heard that before? we'll find out next week i guess.

on another note - same program, but even worse - did you hear kammys rant on why the PL should help them out? ''if they needed the money, they should have sold their players in january'' - said Reid, fair point. so kammy replies with ''well they were hopeful of getting a takeover in january, it's not their fault it didn't go through - they now need the money desperately'' good argument!

It is - pard's said so himself. ''i will play my best 11 players on Saturday, they know who they are - i've told them the team''

Interesting, just saw this post pop up from a sunderland fun on another forum ''Pompey to go to FIFA about restriction of trade to sell Mark Wilson to Sunderland NOW According to Tom Hopkinson, Sunday people sports reoprter on Five Live just there!! Why do we want him (if true!!)??'' so if they are to be saved - why are they still frantically trying to sell players? it's a bizzare situation. although tbf they could do worse than to sell wilson.

it's slightly better than that... 4 defeats in the last 30 games (all competitions) what a record...

''To Any Saints Fans Reading..... Hats off to you. By far the best team I believe we have played this season. Regardless of the idiot ref, you deserved your win, and good luck next season, you play some great football. ''

Sounded from the radio that he got forward well and used his pace. Some of the norwich forums are having to even admit that he was good for us...

i guess he means that players don't know each other as well - so there's less ''personal'' banter as such. That will come though and i'm sure they'll make a great team.

there is a problem with all of his theory's nick - just ignore him, he's a pointless WUM.

lambert did a great job today didn't he. seriously, some people...

...+1 they're relegated, but i fear that's as bad as it'll get for them.

FT - and they're now all but down.

get the **** in stoke!!! diao you legend

according to everyone they are. i wish the media would STFU about it tbh....does my tits in.

that's silly though, pardew has said all along about bringing in a winning mentality at this football club - and you do not breed a winning mentality by slipping up in the first round of cup games. Winning a trophy is the best way to breed winners - there is no better way. At the end of the day - our league form dipped, but we still didn't lose many games at all. Just 2 defeats in 28 games i believe. i like what pardews tying to build and i think he's gone about it in the right way.

looks like you're now scraping the barrels for things to moan about alps. there's no thread started by glasgow saint, so you seem a bit lost. in answer to your question though - no. he set us out to win every game, and you cannot win cup games, league games etc with the same 11 players - there has to be some sort of rotation.

1-1 - get the **** in huth!

oh i remember those, they did it most weeks - ''arty shots'' i think they tried to call them. ignoring the fact that you didn't ever see any action. so glad the beeb have the highlights now.

i reckon we'll do it we'll win all our games for the next 18 months.
