No problem!

If a few players have a bad day then why would that mean the team is "going backwards"? It's just a silly thing to say. At the end of the day it's not a bad result on an awful pitch. It's not the sort of result that will get us into the play-offs but that would be down to our poor start not the team now.

I agree with this largely. Also, if the OP was intended to imply that Seabourne has somehow weakened us then I disagree completely. He has been good both times I've seen him and I would expect he and Fonte to be quite formiddable next season.

Well they don't. Not this season.

That made me laugh too. W******d-lite. What a numpty.

God job that's not a block-headed generalisation.

Jacob was on 5Live this morning. Said he was confident they wouldn't go into admin. Also said they were in talks with a couple of interested parties but he didn't sound upbeat at all. Not convincing! Frankly, I don't expect him to know what Chanrai is up to anyway.

In the absence of any agreement from the creditors, Pompey will have to show they are solvent (lol) in order to avoid being wound up.

I agree in as much as we have been unable to dominate in some matches. I don't think its anything indemic or structurally deficient though, I just think it's a combination of not quite having the right mix yet (ie central midfield), fluctuating form and having to play at sub-standard bogs like yesterday. I think we have dominated some matches recently. MK Dons away in the first leg, for example. One of the best Saints performances in years. We controlled the whole match and made them look silly.

It is pointless though. If Cortese moves Pardew on between now and the end of the season then what people think about it will be interesting. It isn't now.

You been impressed with Otsemobor then? I don't think he has made any particular howlers you can point at but Thomas is a much better defender IMO.

100% correct.

Lol - we will be red hot favourites to win the league at a canter next season, and quite rightly.

That goodness we didn't as we would have been beaten comfortably.

I was there. The pitch was the worst I'd ever seen.

But a St Mary's spokesperson said: "It is a relatively small amount of money for us so we are prepared to take the risk rather than cause any bad feeling." Very admirable but I think we should have shafted them.

I still think the massive charity "Skate Aid" cheque would be amazing too!

Shame we conceded from a set piece. We didn't play particularly well but caused them some problems in the first half and scored a decent goal. Fonte and Seabourne continue to impress. Time for Harding to come back in though. I would defy any team, any team, to dominate possession on a pitch as bad as that though. It was probably the worst pitch I've ever seen in person in professional football. The whole thing had a kind of surreal feel as though we were playing a team from several divisions below in the cup. Play-offs are massively unlikely this year. Let's win a cup, beat the skates and deveop for next year.

Add a couple of thin stripes to the sash and this is the winner IMO.

They are morons.

Didn't end up in St Pauls luckily but the driver either didn't know where he was going or was being a complete dickhead. So I got out.

I had a bad experience with a taxi in Bristol yesterday. Fact.

Hilarious interview with Jim Devine on Channel 4 news tonight. It was genuine LOLism. I reccommend trying to find it on Youtube.

Storrie seems to have gone from complete darkness to remarkable financial lucidity rather quickly. I thought he was out of the loop?
