Agree that we should not become obsessed with songs about the skates.However it would not be a complete matchday experience without a couple of chorus of "my old man said be a pompey fan..." The added benefit being the second line will enhance the vocabulary of any primary school children by at least three words.

Must be Joey Barton's calming influence has rubbed off on them.

Cow. (to the pronunciation of "heffer" ie heifer , though thought his name was Hefner)

Mark Dennis, Paul Allen...

pure genius!

Probably my favourite stories about the real "Big Ron",are those my father told me of them being involved in a number of "lock ins" in a couple of pubs in and around Southampton in the 1960's.

"Big Ron" ? As much as I liked Ronnie Ekelund,it really is blasphemy to confuse the two of them! Joking aside, the two Ron(nie)s would have made an awesome strike force if they could have played together at their prime.Assisted by Messrs Sydenham and Paine of course.

Interesting thought. I too have wondered if AP will be in the frame when Zola gets the push. Personally I'm not sure AP would be welcomed back by the Hammers fans,but stand to be corrected,in which case I doubt Gold and Sullivan would want to incur the fans wrath.

Some fair points in there Bridgey,although I don't think NC is outspoken;he gives some interviews and says his piece,he does not offer a "rent-a-quote" service that some Chairmen and CEO's make a career out of.I thought he came across very well on Solent,showed ambition and some openness,not arrogance. The danger is of course,that having found the limelight he wants to feature in it more frequently and prominently,although that may only happen if we climb up the leagues. As for achievements,we are in a position many would have expected after all the turmoil,and a position most would gladly have accepted last June/July. Given our spending in January we would have expected better since in the league.NC's comments only mirror supporters views. AP is imo the best candidate that was available last summer,and there are not many - if any- I would prefer to him to lead us into next years challenge. Samuel's article is an attempt to be insightful and humourous about a club most of the prem-dwellers have forgotten about.His one line potted history of our descent is correct,the rest of the article however just a dig at NC for the sake of it. I for one am thankful we have Markus Liebherr as our owner,with NC at the helm, than the ragged arsed Pinnacle consortium with MLT as its figurehead.

Yeh,what terrace anthems have Peters&Lee been responsible for ?

French kid,Leon Griifitt (?) during WGS time with us was meant to be a special talent but came to nothing. Yoann Folly ? Sarli a reserve striker.

Sorry,but for those of a certain generation there is but one Ron. Ron Davies. All other 'Rons' are imposters !

Seventh (sorry couldn't resist)

Totally agree.Charlton may indeed suffer a wobble but it is most unlikely given our level of consistancy that we will take advantage of it. Perhaps he is hedging his bets.

Same boat as you.Nothing heard. Asked the same question on the Wembley ticket thread and was told that a refund can be made onto a card.

Was Ron the last Saints player to score 30 in a season ? I recall Phil Boyer leading the scoring charts (79/80) but don't think he reached 30,nor Channon, or KK during his best season for us.
