I'm hoping we have now got our "Walsall" and our "Rochdale" performances out of way (during the same week) for this season now and normal service will be resumed from here on. Unfortunately I don't totally believe that, and fear our away form will be our downfall. We should really be 5 or 8 points ahead of West Ham tonight rather than thankful to Vokes for keeping us top. Too many doubts about too many starters after today,some of the weaknesses in the squad exposed without Lambert available.

saints player gone dead ffs

Apparently Mrs Adkins has refused point blank to loan Mrs Lambert a knitting pattern and the menfolk have now been drawn into the bitter feud.FACT. It has split the squad completely. Kelvin stormed out of a meeting intended to heal the rift telling them they were all a load of wusses. And his wife preferred crochet anyway.

Sounds foreign. I think we should give him a wide berth if he is as it is most unlikely that they will ever get to grips with the intricacies of this game of ours.

I'm not pretending to be ITK , but a gateman I know told me we might be relocating from the Antellope Ground. He has been right before so I don't believe it is something he has made up.

Even the rats take sandwiches to Fratton Park

I doubt that NA would be wandering around with a potential new recruit before the match and even less likely that they would have photos taken so publicly.

Yes, Brentford last December. If we avoid losing to Blackpool it will be 12 months since a defeat in the league at home.

Yes, Holmes, always worth a mention on thread concerning injuries.

Agree.

Coys

He was at Bournemouth, not sure about the skates.

Whilst Poyet may be a c^nt, I can't disagree with him on that point.The likes of Ferdinand and Terry regularly expect to be on 'the panel' with a referee and linesman when an issue is debated, and seem to get away without critiscism.

Slight aside from the main topic, but do the family attend all home matches then ?

Yes, Guthrie was a good signing to be fair. Hammill whilst he was with us appeared unmanagable, not sure if that was GB's fault or not. My reference to GB though was his tendency to stockpile average midfield players.

The Burley school of management.

Big Ron John Mortimore as coach of Saints,and Pompey manager.

Bierhoff, Jan Koller or Carsten Jancker perhaps ?

To add to the rumour NA was at Coventry last night for their match. But before we read too much into that, worth remembering he was also watching Charlie Austin's last match for Swindon before he left them.... not to join us. What odds an 11.23PM announcement ?

Is this the official LCDAJFU thread ? (loanee) or perhaps even a LWAVTPCDAJFU (loanee with a view to permanent)? Of our rivals, I expect West Ham and Leicester will be recruiting.

Yes, not an outstanding save in my book, just a tame header. And lets try and forget Jaidi's chance.

My worry also - if he has one good game this season, you just know it don't you ?

Two to start the match, one on the bench. As Guly and Steeeeeve may also be required for wide MF roles, I don't think we have the surplus some imagine. An injury to RL leaves us a bit exposed. Whether we make a signing now or in Jan is a different debate.

a turning point in our season

He probably adds very little, IF they all remain fit,injury free, and for whatever other reason available to us for selection. Although Steeeeeeeve has not played as a main striker for us yet.
