Surely this inexperienced youngster can't be better than Anthony Pulis?

I have seen different figures which show Saints all time average above Pompey's. I recollect that in the last 40 yrs or so Pompey have only had 3 seasons when their average gate was above ours despite, for the large part , having a larger capacity ground, altho to be fair Pompey generally played in a lower division (or two, or occasionally three) Saints had better crowds up until the mid 1920's, Pompey's were higher until the mid 1960's, albeit with a ground with a max capacity of 50,000+ compared to the Dell at a shade over 30,000, which racked up quite a bit of aggregate gain. Does it say anywhere what season the aggregate figures start from?

Reported in the Sunday Times today (so presume a relatively reputable source) that Fulham bid £11m for Crouch but Spurs won the day with a £9m offer. Apparently Big Al Fahid (the Fulham owner) Fax'd the offer to Dr Silly Man (or whatever his name is) but, apparently, the fax never arrived. Things to consider here. i) Peter Storrie, apparently, deals with all Pompey transfers and ii) Mr Storrie and Mr Redknapp are/were good buddies. What do you make of all this??

Even the blogs on the Pompey News are accepting the take over is dead. We done Duncan's (Fitzhugh Fella's) mate However this may not be all bad news for Pompey. We got rid of the dross and seem to be saved by a more suitable investor. Could happen down the road. Interested to know if the new Training Ground at Gosport will start on schedule or will we have to put up with our Fishy Friends training within the SO post code.?. Just goes to show how tolerant we are this side of Hampshire. I doubt v much if Saints training in the PO area would have gone down well with the tatooed masses

9,018 but with 2-3,000 Rangers in?

when was the last time we won our 1st game of the season and how many games on Sky now without a win A draw, in the circumstances, was a good result

Scores winner for Blackpool against Everton tonight in pre season friendly Arguably would have done an OK job for us in L1 but at a vastly reduced wage!!

'encouraging'

Man City are the new Blackburn!! Quite a few pristine City kits around and about the Cornwall area recently Still prefer these to the Man Utd counterparts. Actually saw one or two Saints kits which was Yet to see a new Newcastle away kit. Apparently approx 4 replicas have been sold

Unfortunately Pompey are still far stronger than us. David Nugent is a struggling Premier striker but would be outstanding in League 1 let alone the Championship. Hopefully the gap will close very soon

Surely someone has their geography wrong Bournemouth in the South West group whereas Exeter (further west) are in the southern draw!!

Have a look at Richer Sounds in London Rd

Pro Glaze was mentioned earlier on. They fitted my replacement windows recently. Decent price and good service. I had a subsequent problem with my conservatory roof (nothing to do with them as built several years ago). They came round and fixed FOC

Will help support Sion & her partner (sometime scaffolder and plasterer)Callum of Milton, Portsmoth Sian first became a Mum at 15 whilst at school and produced Jaden. Now at 18 she has young Tyler, Taylor , Levi and several tattoes to support. All good stuff

Equinox $698m

In a tyre shop today replacing two front tyres and a balance (£250!!) and Ruddock was on the Jeremy Kyle show. Couldnt hear the sound but Ruddock looks well over weight, with thinning swept back greasy hair. Anyone know what he'e up to now? Did a decent job for us in his time here

Celebrity ships are 5 star. Rather more for the 'older' set so if you are younger than 50 I would plump for Royal Caribbean

Bradford City have sold over 10,000 season tickets for the 3rd year in a row. However prices are £99 prior to 31.12.08/ £138 prior to 1/3/08 and £250 if buying now ie just over a tenner a game. Compare this to £18 at non league Oxford Better to have a ground fullish at lower prices than empty at premium prices Dear Rupes would never understand

Equinox in tomorrow as stated Lots of other non cruise ships in port too especially along W docks. Grimaldi/Wallenius and a big scrap ship at 108 Who says the ports not busy Grand Bleu still at 49 berth with a yacht tied up alongside

We'll be fine when Anthony Pulis gets fit

Isnt the new Celebrity ship 'Equinox' in port today too and is the 'Grand Bleu' (Abromovich's old tub) still at 49 berth?

Didn't Portsmouth used to be in the County of Southampton?

See Eastleigh Boro Council, under leader Keith House, are underwriting a £35m expansion of the Rose Bowl. Fair enough and good to see improved facilities for cricket fans. However wasn't this the Keith House who wanted nothing to do with football at Stoneham. Double standards methinks

Remember these from my past paticularly a trip to a 3rd Rd game at Hull in mid 60's with train leaving Soton Docks station at midnight and getting into a freezing and foggy Hull about 7am .Lost 1-0 and not back until 3/4am Sunday morning then up at 6am to do Sunday paper round in pouring rain. Happy Days!! Anyway Football Specials are back on the Agenda. Good news 1st Class carriages so comfort guaranteed Bad news - no booze allowed. Straw poll - Anyone interested in jaunts to Midlands & beyond. Need minimum of 250/300 to make it a goer

Baj Sounds like good news Amazing you got a GP appointment so quickly The NHS is not that bad after all
