Any chance of someone making a new poll about whether in Adkins we still all trust? Would be interested to see if the numbers have changed from last week based on his team selection today. Surprised he didn't sub Lambert for Burac... He's a manager, he gets paid to manage the team.... How's he doing?

If you backup to SSD then you'd need to ensure you offsite it. A friend of mine backed up their machine every weekend and was a stickler for doing it. All until they had their house broken into and the laptop and SSD were stolen as they sat next to each other. I use a professional Flickr account for all my important photos. I backup my laptop on a weekly basis (using a free program called 'SyncBack') onto shared drive on my home network.

Something's got to change. What is it? Need more money to buy a defence? Adkins was a great manager for us in League One and the Championship and was completely the right manager at the time. Now we've got the money and the infrastructure to get a proven Premiership manager in place. Sorry to say but, thanks Nigel for getting us here, but we need someone to take us up the Premier League table and into Europe. I'd never have thought that Nigel would have got us to the Premiership so quickly so I admire him for that and he's a really nice guy (having met him a few times) but he's not what we need to survive in this league. Guly on for Lambert to add some pace? lol PS NC is a business man, this is a business, we're no where near where he wants us to be so what will he do?

Good advert for Barclay's for our first goal celebration

Couple of comments, just had Solar panels installed yesterday at my house after realising, as someone else did, that the banks aren't giving much interest and as it's tax free money then why not ? 1. If anyone is interested in Solar Panels then drop me a PM for a recommended company. They are Southampton based and I know of 4 separate installs they've done now and everyone is very happy with (a) the price and (b) the workmanship. 2. If you've got solar panels installed then the Wattson device (http://www.diykyoto.com/uk/wattson ) is well worth a look. It gives you instant colour feedback on whether you're exporting leccy to the grid (green light) or are taking from the grid (red light). Never thought I'd be checking the weather outside to see if it's worth putting on the dishwasher before It does a whole load more measuring and reporting but, unfortunately, falls short from actually turning on devices in the house when you're exporting..

Taxi for Guly- Up north as far as possible
Tractor_Saint replied to Saints Warrior's topic in The Saints
Didn't really see too much wrong with Guly's play today (apart from he annoys me by looking like he's just out for a mid-afternoon stroll). However, I thought NA was going to 'deal with him' regarding the drink driving. Well, that's certainly showed him hasn't it by playing him against Man U... -
New Ticket system is an epic fail. I wanted to upgrade my kids STs as they couldn't go and I wanted my parents-in-law to go (both OAP concessions). No longer can you upgrade during the week you have to do it ON MATCHDAY ONLY! wtf? So, I had to turn up 4 hours before kick off to avoid the queues. Then, because each ST holder has a different account I have to do two separate transactions which each have a £1.50 booking fee. £60 later and I have the upgrades. Next time, I'm not going to both upgrading and just use the kids STs. After all, the turnstiles indicator lights only say if the ticket was full adult or concession - it doesn't distinguish between kids and OAPs.

Two areas I saw with a lot of seats missing: The lower part of the Itchen which I think is where the Youth team and WAGs sit - so where were they all? Up by the Corporate boxes to the left of Cortese as you look at it. Is that Corporate that someone has booked but doesn't attend? Was same for Wigan... -

Kinda missed the Rickie goal but what a celebration! Lost my voice at that point. Peaked too early! [video=youtube_share;dEapGBQ5Bns] -

I might be very naive but I thought that professional footballers enjoy their alcohol out of the football season and then should abstain during the football season?

Was it just me or was anyone else impressed with the quality of the grass today?

And it can tell the difference between the ticket being a concession or a full ticket.... That's what the steward the other side of the turnstiles is looking for.

Did anyone else experience this? A couple of guys standing in the entrances at ground level in Kingsland with adi.tv tops on kept getting in peoples way on the front few rows. When challenged they said they had to keep 'checking that the boards were working'. Really? Surely they've got something more technical than two blokes who spent more time on their phones than looking at the screens. Added to that, they shouldn't be allowed to stand in the gangways during the match surely? Yours grumpily TS

3 - 1 We always win 3-1. Great odds. Hart holding an injury. Saints not expected to win. Gotta be 3-1 to us then! Great odds so bet on it now

lol very timely. Off to the neighbours tonight and just syphoning off a 1.5 litre bottle to take with us

Flash photo thingy in the warm up (a little juddery!)

How was Stratford Station? All the folks were telling us to go to West Ham and it 'was only a 10 minute walk'. Yeah right! However, they were right there were no queues there and we got the first tube out to Wimbledon where the car had been dumped. Took a few vids if anyone is interested (probably not but I'll post anyhow!) Spice Girls!

Nearly given up posting questions now. Have moved onto the username of TCWTB. Don't think it'll get through

Good fun trying to find the saints trolls in the feed. However, I'm not sure if this was one of us or not? Brian? Comment From Brian Appy is a legend for sticking this out. I'm sure he can convince some Premier League clubs to loan us some players for free. We need to be competitive.

lol - good question: Comment From PompeyPete Any word on plans for a new stadium?

Had a 'tweet-off' with the PST the other day. They have planned for 75% of the pledges to actually come through. I think it might be a lot lower than that!

Um, I have a different position on this. As a Council Tax payer in a PO postcode I don't see why some of my hard earned cash should go to save a football club. I'd imagine there are a lot of other Portsmouth tax payers who don't care much for football and would much rather see £1.45m spent on something worthwhile than gambled on a football club with such a bad financial record. Unfortunately my e-petition on the Government website is pending approval - doubt it'll get approved but if it does I'll share the link
