"For just £150 (per person, excluding VAT), you will also be able to take advantage of complimentary tea and coffee at half-time" Tempting...

All home-based players I see. I wonder if there's any chance of Santa NC pulling another Guly out the sack. (Pun intended)

For the hard of thinking, I wasn't completely serious. Suprised to find such a spirited defence of Portsmouth on here though. Would you care to expand further how great Pompey are, maybe you can win us round?

It's true that when we're playing the small clubs and humdrum also rans we should just turn up and collect an easy three points, but you've got to bear in mind for the minnows of the league like Portsmouth this is their cup final, so NA is clearly trying to avoid complacency amongst the troops.

Considering our vaunted youth system we don't have a very impressive record in the youth cup: one final in 50 years and never actually won it. Maybe this group can put that right!

It's got to be Barney obviously I mean he's been showing good form... Seabourne can sit this one out though. Bless.

Guess it's a glitch or something then. It's all good though, Peterborough are buying Forte for £1m

Hahaha taking this thread off rails a bit, on starting the game I've got £325K we're like £100K over the wage budget. Where's all the money gone NC??? Lowe out!

I see you MLG offering a match report then withdrawing with a cheeky edit. I just got FM2012 on the iPhone... where the fook is all the Chamberlain £££ I was looking forward to spending???

Does kind of sound like it's your fault mate. I'd leave off the poor Doris in the TO if I were you sounds like she's getting enough grief already.

I wouldn't! Chaplow catches the eye I grant you with this bald head and enthusiastic running, but Morgan has a much better first touch, range of passing and is unquestionably better looking.

I have rated this thread 5 stars.

I'm starting to like this guy...

There's a Mrs Turkish? Poor cow...

I couldn't get one, and neither could my 9,998 brothers.

I don't think you're allowed to call it an illness any more pal.

I hope it's John Terry just for the brilliant tabloid feeding frenzy that would result.

Yes John, it probably is.

With regards to the thread title I would like to note that I am also a snatch talent spotter.

Gary Speed, sorry. Typo.

I didn't know Gay Speed so I'm pretty much ready to joke about it, but then again this is a public forum and I wouldn't want his kids to read it or whatever.

I've since heard "that rumour" from a professional footballer, who reckons they were told about it before Speed did what he did.

I remember when he joined us from Man City. I don't remember celebrating that we'd put one over them. Its a scout FFS.

Yes, if we get promoted we'll be looking to strengthen no doubt. Just can't see us signing a CB in January to compete with AM, RJ and DS for a spot on the bench.
