  1. I have my own personal agenda with Danny Fox, so don't need anybody on their high horse please.
  2. Yes, not sat practical yet.
  3. Need help. Does anyone have any old Southampton FC kit from the 1990's they do not want. Need to get my hands on L or XL Southampton full away kit. Even if you only have shorts, socks or shirt.
  4. Why do you think I was there? Because I post on the SWF?? Read the original post you keyboard warrior and then look back at your recent posts. THEN, notice what a pratt your coming across as.
  5. I'll pass that on. Maybe if you inbox me your personal details I will see if they are interested in getting your feedback.
  6. Just that there was a lot of one to one coaching with him from Poch and JP. Also in the analysis lounge, a lot of file on his profile. Clips from Norway fixtures being analysded against training and U21 clips.
  7. Yes, got that vibe from the coaching staff.
  8. Did not see Luke anywhere today. In the small sided game, Forren played alongside Maya. Plays the ball very well and uses our passing game to his advantage and goes on these mazey runs like Rio does but had end product. Was up against Mayuka today. I wondered if it had anything to do with Defoe.
  9. Watched a bit of training, Spurds draw in the u21's and then spent some time in analysis which had an Astori dvd file there!
  10. Spent the day at Staplewood today along side one of the first team technical staff. From what I saw today, Forren is going to be a massive part of our defensive pairing next season. As for lack of action at the moment, my own personal opinion is Poch does not want to disrupt the CB pairing until his hand is forced (3-0 to WBA joke didnt go down well). MP and staff very friendly as are our players. Resisted calling Fox a cvnt.
  11. Did not know he was even out on loan!
  12. I blame the interpreter.
  13. Why is there still this obsession with them? Let them get on with their rebuilding.

    Danny Fox

    Always loses his man. Shame, was excited when we first signed him. Just not good enough.
  15. Does anyone know anyways to listen to the game on iphone or radio app??
  16. Really worry Luke Shaw is not being managed properly, too many niggles for a 17 year old. Over use?
  17. The kit deal is with Sondico.
  18. As much as I agree with the long term development plan, an international cap should also be rewarded as an honour and recognition. If Davies & co can get a 10 minute cameo Lambert should at least get the same. However, the top English goal scorer in the country should always be in the England squad in my opinion.
  19. Understand your sentiment and this is where the FA are going wrong, what we should do is use other blueprints and then evolve it to our own. Frankly, it's a cultural thing too.
  20. Also, parents do not like change 80% of the time, we are an Island with an Island mentality.
  21. Biggest problems in England are: Play to win mentality at wrong ages, educate them game first, they have years to go and win leagues etc. learn the game first. Coaches/parents are in it for their own personal gains Children too afraid make mistakes (how else can you improve) Coaches force the passing game too early when in fact players need ball familiarisation in younger ages and the skill to identify when to release/how to release/ do I run or do I pass? Over coaching 6-11 year olds being labelled with positions when in fact they need to learn different aspects of the pitch, different overloads, responsibilities and goalkeepers being isolated as a speciality when in fact a goalkeeper this day and age is a sweeper so needs to learn the outfield game.
  22. Having lived, played and now coached in Portsmouth, I can tell you for one that they have never looked after their own. Saints, Reading, Bournemouth, Brighton and now Chelsea have always dominated the grassroots level when 'scouting and recruiting’. As you may of seen, we have had some pretty scathing attacks from the skates in the media and even one coach receiving a phone call from an ex-non league manager now coaching at Pompey (you can guess) telling us to '**** off out of their Island & Hampshire’. We’ve never had this issue with Saints. If ran correctly and by the RIGHT people, Portsmouth actually could have a very good academy but the club have never cared for infrastructure, more about favours and brown envelops.
