that was really corny

was the game database only? if not probably a good few irons in home stands.

Has anyone ever actually seen a tent dance?

Simple question really. Lads, if you could have either a nice pair of tits or a tight little pussy for a day which would it be, and why. I should point out that if you go for the vag then you have to surrender your willy for the day. For me, has to be a vag. Would love to finger it all day.

I just woke up in a cold sweat. Was dreaming I was a salad box and someone was trying to put a large lettuce leaf over me. Like to smother me. I was the box and had welcomed in cucumber, tomatoes sweetcorn, spring onions, beetroot, a bit of coranation chicken and French dressing. The dream was going beautifully until someone/thing tried to smother me with the lettuce. I was screaming when I woke up. What does it all mean? Scared.

LoL!! Typical right wing fascist propaganda. We weren't clinging on to anything! They might have been. What a load of old twaddle. We utterly controlled that park. Clinging on... my arse. tell that journo **** to get away from his comfortable north london mecca and come see the the mighty Saints play. Clung on! what a feking joke!

whatever.. just sign him time to splash the cash.

Just back. We feking dominate them. Yet they were not a push-over. Let me just say that again: WE FEKING DOMINATED THEM. (but they were not a push over) again? WE OUTCLASSED THEM (but they were not a push over) my God. That has been the most comprehensive 1-0 win at SMS since, well, since the Dell. They truly had nothing. We smothered them. I never was biting my nails. The odd corner went their way, sure, but our lads had it well covered. Ok, so we only had one goal. Don't let that fact take away from the fact that we utterly, completely dominated for 83 minutes. The other 7 minutes we had to defend. That was a clinical way of proving ourselves on the 'big stage'. As if a full house at the Super St Mary Stadium ever needed an introduction... Onwards!! Onwards!!! To READING!! Here we come!!!

Celtic want only £2,000,000 ? Feking bargain. NA..NC... Get him on the long term bus. Spend a few of the Oxo quids and get him. Anyone at the game tonight must surely agree.

Really? Actually, I am more clued up on this subject than most. It is all to do with crowd psychology. Just do some basic critical thinking. I realize that most people are not taught actually how to think any more. Let me step you through it: Total number of saints fans who take an active part in their club: circa 40,000 perhaps. Total number of pompey fans who take an active part in their club: circa 20,000 perhaps. maybe more, who knows. Out of a combined 60,000 do you really believe that all of them just want a fight? Do you believe that even half will cause trouble? Nonsense. Again, I stand by my point: the vast majority of saints and pompey fans could be trusted not to miss behave at our local derby. If you really believe otherwise then you are living in some kind of bizarro fantasy land which you have constructed around the event to make it seam more than it really is.

Sorry, don't agree. There are always elements who don't have tickets and probably have not been to a single game all season who end up being arrested. As for a lot of people really hating each other, maybe but more likely it is just a lot of unimaginative and poorly educated people with nothing else exciting happening in their dull lives who pretend that the football game is really much, much, much more important than it actually is. The sort of people who bang on about it being 'more than life n death'. Clearly, to a well balanced individual - and I still maintain most of us are - the game might be the one we want to win the most, but to give over a big portion of your day light hours to hate the skates/scummers is not really something we have time for. And please, don't say such dumb nonsense like 'For anyone growing up in the city you're brought up to hate the ****s'. That is patently not true. Most people growing up in Southampton (myself included) didn't ever get taught to hate them. In fact, other than on saints-v-pompey days I never even thought about Portsmouth. Except the time we had a school trip to HMS Victory. If people are really so bored with their lives that the only thing which brings meaning to it is their self-imposed 'hatred' of people from Portsmouth/Southampton then they are well, just pathetic losers who really need to expand their horizons just a tad.

I think you have missed my point. Obviously I am not suggesting that we all go down the pub together and buy each other a drink. What I mean is that absent the usual minority of trouble makers the majority would still be able to control themselves if they came into close proximity of an opposition fan. Albeit there might well be some strong banter. These sort of derbies - whether us or other high profile games - are always bigged up to appear like every fan of each side is going to get stuck in at the earliest possible convenience. This is simply nonsense. There are, broadly speaking, three groups of fans: 1. The aforementioned knuckle-scrapers who probably couldn't give a toss about the footie but just want a fight. 2. Weak willed fans who are easily led and believe that it is cool to 'get tribal' and who will just follow the lead of the knuckle-scrapers. 3. The vast majority who lead respectable lives and just like following their team and let the football speak for itself. This group is by far and away the largest and under no circumstance will they follow the lead of the knuckle-scrapers, in fact more often than not they will proactively get out of the trouble spot if they can or if in a pub will attempt to wind in the knuckle-scrapers. I stand by my point: the majority of saints and pompey fans could be trusted to behave well. Let's stop bigging this event up so much. It only serves to make the knuckle-scrapers think they are more important than they are. Let's concentrate on the football match.

May I just point out that if it was a little boy then in all likelyhood someone would have stopped to help. Girls are just not valued in Chinese society. It is not at all uncommon for a new-born girl to be terminated upon crowning (coming out at birth) so that the couple can try again for a boy. This is because there is a strict one child policy and boys are better earners etc. Sad but true. Just because they have embraced capitalism blah blah does not mean they are democratic or have any inkling of human rights.

No, I am not. Take away the sparks and the fire doesn't start. Unfortunately this will never be able to be proved as the sparks will always find the majority and set fire to them, so to speak.

well maybe not the percentages but the vast majority could, yes I am sure.

Yobbo. I hope you have grown up since then!

All I can say is don't blame either club or the rozzers. At the end of the day the only reason they are doing it this way is because unfortunately both clubs have a small minority of knuckle-scraping Neanderthals posing as human beings who like to Be Big and Strong and Cool by causing trouble. It is these pr!cks - from our club as well as the skates - who are to blame. 99% of Pompey and 99% of Saints would actually be able to mingle before the game just like any other. The arse-wipes who call themselves supporters are nothing of the sort.

what the fek did all that nonsense mean?

Personally I am happy that extra measures have been taken to ensure safety and a pleasant day out at the football. It is the football - seeing Saints thrash them - that is the reason I will be going. I couldn't care less if some kids and immature older supporters are upset because they can't now have a fight with the skates. Well done to Pompey, Saints and Hampshire Constabulary. By the way, on the Hillsborough thread in the lounge a lot of people are (maybe rightly) having a go at the police who were at that fateful game for not doing enough to provide safety etc. I hope that none of those posters will be on this thread moaning about the way the police have decided to regulate fans at the pompey/saints game.

Will the Palace away in the cup count? or is just league games?

you mistake my point. I said that errors were avoidable. But the real, undeniable reason for the deaths was the cage. Period. End of story. There is no debate here. If the cage was not there the police could have had the pied-piper lead the whole of Merseyside through that tunnel and no one would have died. They would have just gone on the pitch. And just because some stadia still have cages and no deaths occur does not mean that the cage in the Leppings Lane stand was not the reason that 96 people died. That is faulty logic.

I'm always amazed that clubs don't merge. I know that to be a successful merger they would have to be in close geographical proximity to one another and therefore 'fan politics/hatred etc' would be a consideration but so what? Merge away. Pool resources, pool players and fans and have a much better chance of survival. It is not unknown to happen.

I reckon we spook them and do this for the first ten minutes: ---------------------------MASCOT------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------MASCOT-------------------------------

Cool! 12 men on the field at once! Sure the ref won't notice.

There is more chance of me getting a phone call from NA asking me to take Rickie's place tomorrow evening than this happening.
