I can't see us selling anybody until the summer when we know what league we will be in, especially those already out on loan. If we sold the "Championship" quality players in Jan and then got relegated we would in effect need to go out and re-sign players of a similar standard. Saints have effectively taken out an insurance policy against relegation by only loaning these players out. Of course, we could have 30+ points by the end of January and the landscape changes (here's hoping!).

Property Development Trust Statement re. Court Case: http://www.pompeytrust.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=475%3Apst-welcomes-news-of-early-court-hearing-date&catid=34%3Ademo-category I particularly like, "We are very encouraged by the initial response to the share offer. There is a steady stream of pledges and new purchases of shares arriving hourly; so many that we haven’t been able to count them yet". So that will be about 5 then. As a general observation they look and sound increasingly desperate and amateurish.

Next 2 games - Coventry and Tranmere away.

Attendance 9955. Packing the park again.

I can think of no reason why AP would not get a good reception - started us off on the journey to the Prem and gave us a great day out at Wembley - a real watershed moment even if it was "just" the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. After some pretty bad times he instilled some positivity back into the club. Anyone that boos Pardew is an idiot.

Watched on stream and thoroughly deserved 3 points - it would have been a travesty if we hadn't come away with the win. Great movement up front and Cork, Lallana and Puncheon exceptional.

Lambert 80/1 for a hat-trick - stupidly optimistic I know but meh why not!

When you have 8 kids and only 1 train set there is a sense of inevitability about the outcome.

I am sure that Merson has poured over the projected financials in fine detail, being such an obviously intelligent individual, before throwing his weight behind the trust. "Back the....err what's it called again Jeff?"

Agreed, I voted for the independent candidate - purely on the basis that politics should have nothing to do with being a police commissioner.

Allen wouldn't answer any questions about this yesterday which imo tells its own story - the FL should be consistent in their treatment of financial irregularity and that would mean a significiant points penalty.

And you obviously never saw Ali Dia - a more awkward, 50p headed, aimlessly running around performance it would be difficult to find.

He reminded me of Ali Dia tonight, I genuinely mean that.

Morgan lacks heart.

If Godot ever turns up he'll be another bent Russian arms dealer.

Thats because they play 3 at the kiosk, 4 in the back room and 3 in the post room. It leaves the post room too exposed meaning they are making mistake after mistake.

Which is exactly what happened at Everton - often our full backs were two against one - naive, ridiculous and the same mistakes have been repeated almost every game. Nigel has said we won't change the way we play away from home. On that basis we will concede at least 3 every away game.

Reserves or not, the tactics and substitutions have been an utter shambles all season. Sorry Nige, thanks for two wonderful seasons but it is clear that this level is beyond you, time for a change to give us at least a chance of staying up.

Good for him to get Championship experience, ready for next season.....

The "update" button was good as long as there was only one page of latest scores - the feeling hope when the page number appeared in the top corner and sheer angst and depression when you pressed the text button to see that David Leworthy had put Oxford 2-0 up against us.

Ha ha excellent.

Arguably the rot has already set in with this squad though but I do tend to agree with the overall point that you make. I am not sure even 'Arry would have the brassneck to come back again though.

But his daughter goes to Southampton Uni so that makes it almost a done deal.

Besides, if you are at Uni, generally you have gone to get away from your parents.
