Maya and Jos in the same back four again ? No thanks, MP has my support in not risking that.

Dealing with that in order: No, even an average keeper should not have put himself in that position Goalkeeping errors were commonplace last season - near post failures in particular, but not by showboating He still remains our No 1 - but by default to some extent as the other options are even more fragile - and yes, I hope normal levels of competence are returned.

Probably less than £15m, and I doubt he would be second choice if we signed him.

But did he offer the assembled journalists the chance to view Lovren's vomit ? As Burley once did about Niemi's diarrhoea.

Been waiting for this headline since he joined : Artur drops a Boluc

Yes.

Don't disagree with the first part, but same was said after Stoke (although I think many accepted that was a fluke as far as Boruc was concerened). I go along with the view that Boruc has saved us more points than he has lost us this season and last. To that end he is still "in credit". Trouble is though, that this is now the third match running in which he has been involved in a bout of sloppiness resulting in us conceding. Stoke, and Hull, well we wrote those off to a bit of misfortune, but today was just down to him behaving like a clown. Have been arguing we need a quality GK for nearly two years now, though Boruc has briefly filled the post, its obvious another, younger version is needed.

oh, the mighty managerless Sc^nthorpe... ...dear, oh dear. Feel sorry for Whittingham.

Good to see there is a high standard of literacy maintained n the skatesmouth island: May come as no surprise that this particular illiterate skate uses the pseudonym of "PORTSMOUTH SAVED 20 4 13 PUP".

Final big payday though ?

Think you're being very kind in that analysis (even if clutching at straws).

Is he wearing Wellbeck's clown shoes ?

Rooney, Sturridge, Townsend and Walker seem to excel at running themselves into a blind alley in pursuit of personal glory. Walker also looks a liability in defence.

Yes, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, or I imagined it, but no it was really was that sh!t. Is Lars Bender the other one ?

Not according to the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24907635 As we all know, if L/pool or Mancs are fit - and are willing to make themselves available for selection - then they'll play.

A new revelation re Lowe, care to expand on it ? Personally,at the time, I thought Lowe was correct to reign HR in and not allow him to spend,spend, spend. Agree, in truth Redcrapp's appointment should never have been necessary.

Probably better at being a berk, than being a footballer.

I wonder what Mr C and the club will think of the FA using JWP in this way ? Remarkable though that the FA have not wheeled out a more senior player for this duty and type of promotional.

I did wonder the same thing tbh, Begovic is ambitious and in truth he is unlikely to get the chance at one of the established big 4/5 clubs, so what he needs is a club 'breaking in' to that group, or at least one with those ambitions. From our angle he is established and proven at the right age with years ahead of him. Given their respective ages, I suspect the club would see more mileage in Begovic tbh , and if we have learnt one thing over the last three years, it is that your last performance - or previous season - might not be enough to save you.

Not a bad shout, and if we want a predictable big bloke:little bloke combination Sam Baldock would be the ideal foil for Parkin's knock downs. F'kin Brazillians, krauts, and all the dago's won't know whats hit them. Manager - Fat Sam no contest (unless 'arry's up for it).

JWP had a decent effort at Stoke so it looks to me that he is already on the duty rota.

RIP. I don't know if this is accurate, but I semi recognise the name. If its the chap I'm thinking of, met him in the late 70's at an away game or so, lived in or near Winchester, would be late 40's. Is this him?

Perhaps you're losing sight of the fact he's only 18, and very much of the internet-twitter generation. Perhaps he should be better advised, but its difficult without a blanket ban on the use of such media.

Yes, Saints obviously missed out here. Or, perhaps he's found a level he's suited to.

I see One Direction are involved in some fund raising event for the Phillipines : What an attention seeking bunch of bastards this lot are. They should be "outed" for what they really are.
