Scoobie Presume you still need to pass the equivalent of the 'knowledge' with the relevant Local Licensing Authority? If so that was relatively easy when I did it. Also do you need to pass CRB checks?

I did it part time for a few years when I was saving up for my first house Paid my mortgage but I hated it. OK early on in the evening when most of the customers were fairly nice but became more challenging as the evening progressed Think it may be even more challenging now as evidenced by watching a couple of well oiled, mouthy individuals getting into a cab at 4.30 pm !!! yesterday afternoon Best of luck if you do decide to progress the option.

As has been mentioned above only second game and how many of us realistically expected the same return as last year On the bright side we have the same amount of points this year, after two games, as last. Downside is that we have rarely been dominated by a team at home as we were today. Everton were bigger, faster and stronger than us and were well deserved winners. The next few League games will be important as we need to rack up some points to ensure we don't get dragged into the drop zone at an early stage. No need to press the panic button yet was that was as dire a performance as I can remember in recent times. Let's hope it is a one off!!

Agree with you especially if the team v Sheffield Utd turned up

Its all written in the stars Jose in straight swap for Ron Vlaar!!!!!!!!!!! (when he eventually recovers from his concrete related injury)

Agree Much better than expected and expect them to go up this year. Derby really were poor

Sorry Se it is already on the site

H v Danish side 20th August Away 27th

Arnhem 2015 and Marseille 1976 What a difference!!!!

Still as one supporter was proud to boast about McInnes ... 'Proper Pompey'... (innit!!)

I listened to this attempt at comedy hour in the car McInnes obviously sees himself as some kind of joker (perhaps that is, in fact, an apt description) It is fine to make jokes about rival fans/clubs but suggesting that it would be preferable that masonry from the crumbling stadium should fall on the head of a rival fan is probably not the wisest comment to be made by a senior official at Pompey. Again, whilst I am sure he was not too far from the mark with his very damning comments on Peter Storrie he could easily find himself at the wrong end of a writ. The new Manager comes with a reasonable CV at Chesterfield but his cheeky Scouse patter may not have gone down too well especially when he couldn't remember the names of some of his backroom staff. However he was able to wax lyrical about the U21's winning 5-0 at Burnham (who??) last night Interesting to see the ex Scummah, Scott Bevan, is GK coach at Pompey this season. To balance things up, I suppose you have to give Pompey fans some credit for selling 11,000 season tickets again (even though they are cheap) Interesting comparison here, someone at the club told me that if Saints sold all their hospitality for the season it equates to all the gate money Pompey get from an average 15,000 home attendance.

Some time in the past there was a Monk holding a staff with a halo over his head This was the emblem on the first Saints shirt I ever bought (from Toomers I think) White with red piping Wore it to death as a kid

He's out searching for Elvis!! Someone had to say it!!

Yup 4-0 up from the 1st leg Five of us went to Vicarage Rd for the 'easy' second leg against a lower division team Lost 7-1. In a local chip shop after the game and a young Hornets fan in brand new gear (1st game I think) said to his Dad ...'Is it always like this at Watford'!!! Only when you play the Saints someone said

Presumably he was Spanish and seemed to be supporting Saints By the sound of him he had lost his Care in the Community helpers on the way in. Still he caused no problems and actually got a few rounds of applause

Understand that Southampton Ladies won the Women's FA Cup eight times between 1971 - 1983 Perhaps we should add this to our 'History'!!

Seems to be growing in popularity Apparently it is only us and Man Utd, out of the Prem, who have not got a Ladies team Suewhistle may be able to comment on this but didn't the Southampton Ladies team do very well a few years ago when Sue Lopez was playing? I remember my uncle used to go and watch occasionally (in the 70's?) and I think they originally played on the Common or possibly the Sports Centre.

Cant see any reference to this game anywhere else Doesn't seem to feature on the Pompey News site but they do have a story about the Portsmouth Walking Football team's recent success although they had to borrow a keeper from Eastleigh

Fortress Fratton i'nt mate Surely there must be a mistake in these stats.

If we believe that us fans have a good eye for a player, it is somewhat disappointing to read thro some of the QPR forum comments. Generally they are not too fussed about losing Caulker only the timing and the fact that he may be returned to them at some stage. They understand the wages saving of approx. £2m per year but the consensus seems to be that Caulker is a bit error prone on the pitch and a bit of a drinker/troublemaker off it. I do hope that this is not the case but, given the circumstances, I do hope he is a Gardos replacement rather than Toby's

Made me smile!!

Agree Well written and informative piece Well done!! I am sure you will be forgiven for the purchase if your 'half and half' scarf. Great to see (and hear) that a decent amount of Saints fans went across for the friendly especially in such close proximity to the Arnhem game. Particularly liked the response of the Feyenoord fans. Shows they are really 'Claisie' and hope there will be a few of them over to support us during the season

Appreciate it has been covered before BUT: Mayuka £3.0m (residual value - NIL) Forren £3.5m (residual value - uncertain - possibly most of money back) Ramirez £11.0m (residual value - £3m??) Osvaldo £13m (residual value - nil) All on Cortese's watch with some suggestion one of his relative's was a fixer for these deals

Did I read somewhere that we are supposed to be interested in Caulker from QPR? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
