Is that Chaplow modelling the Millwall home kit? That was like a hostage video, using people who struggle to read, and at least one of them didn't believe a word he was saying, he had a smirk. Though the bloke with the worryingly foreign-inspired Afro had enough theatrical venom for everyone. I didn't care for the lighting or the audio mix, and they should have spent some money on a hairdresser. At least we now know that the secret sign of BNP youth is to wear one shirt collar out and one in. I didn't know they still existed.

Brilliant for all three! For Rickie because he's dragged himself from League One to the World Cup and we've shared that fantastic journey. He's okay in League One but he'll never do it in the Championship... It's brilliant for Adam who has been with us pre-admin, minus ten, and he suffered all the lows. Burley, Dodd, Gorman, Poortlvliet, Wotte, Pearson, Pardew, Adkins and Pochettino ALL spotted the talent in Lallana before Liverpool noticed him, even Bournemouth recognised his talent, why are Liverpool so far behind? An expensive error. And it's brilliant for Luke who represents all that is good about our academy and the Southampton way of playing football. What a great day.

god that's complex - but they seem to have maintained rates.

is that £200 last year up to £280?

You have to remember that £1million in Portsea can be forced down to loose change (less expenses) via two admins, so it's no great loss. Though I would agree that we need to create some myth around it... I'm sure we can cobble together some vague link between our away win at Anfield and pompey losing a potential fortune - that'll be three points they gave us for a big discount on cranes for the docks, chuck in some imaginary industrial action because of Liverpool getting funding for cruise ship facilities and we are nearly there! As a Skate/Liverpool-related aside, please tell me that Glen Johnson isn't England's right back? - last night he played his way right off the plane, through the terminal, the gift shops, the long term parking, and into a donkey sanctuary in Devon - he would be third choice at SMS - possibly fourth if Guly could cover back.

we sent the scummahs down.... Er, no you didn't, look at the 2005 table, you relegated Palace... And guess what - they just took a million quid off you!

don't spill wine on that bedsheet - it's needed for the press conference table where big signings will be announced.

Very good point Mr Munster - by writing off their penalty the FL actually kept them in the football league. Though, had they been -10 all season I would imagine they'd have given it up long ago and been about 15pts adrift. Either way, Bristol Rovers can say a big thank you to the erratic FL justice system.

We have heard all of this before from Whittingham and his boss - and then the board started discovering additional revenue, utilising parachute cash, rethinking budgets etc, to speed up their inevitable return to the summit of the world game. I'll be convinced about the leopard changing it's spots when it stops sprinting about biting things.

Your sprawling country estate is rubbish sneered the cross-eyed bitter tramp, from his ****-riddled cardboard box. sounds a bit dodgy said the pompey fan, ignoring a whole decade of theft, money-laundering and financial irregularities, in a failed attempt at insulting a bigger club two divisions higher.

They'll be famous in twenty years - the last two skates to visit St Mary's.

Mobility scooter, charity theft at Tesco?....this story has it all! If only there was an image available of the robbery victim making a quick exit from the site of a future Tesco.

Launching a club lottery? Is it 1965? They really are pioneering new sports marketing ideas for the digital age. It's all gone a bit Brylcreem and halftime Woodbine. Next up, a football league insert in every programme, and Bobby Moore encourages you to play darts in your local pub. #nostalgia

while we picked the wrong time to get relegated re TV money, we haven't half picked the right time to come back! If in August you'd offered me 8th place, Rickie scoring for England, £82M, two players in the PFA team and 2/3 players on the plane to Brazil, I'd have had your arm off - and had you sectioned. A very good season. And we dodged the Europa League, the football equivalent of catching VD every other Thursday.

That's a relief - I thought we were heading off for some Youtube hate vid shakily shot with an ancient Nokia on location at the fortress of fat. The Nutjob is just a spin off from Carry on Insolvently.

The financial gains from Champions League qualification would make it more difficult for us to compete with them. Being part of halting their progress is quite a nice start to avenging 84 and Bent (if we still need to deal with Highbury, I was over it until you mentioned it again) - and more importantly, useful to us going forward. Seeing the CL place slipping away must hurt, however much they say it was lost against Palace, the table suggests otherwise. Three points from Saturday would have made a huge difference to their run-in. From 2005 we owed Villa, Boro, Everton and one or two others....I reckon some revenge has been served, but I'm always up for dishing out more.

He's cleaning his teeth?... And so he should after a long shift at Horton Heath.

has anyone seen my goat?

you have to be pretty annoying to get blocked... Congratulations! Though I suspect you may be overqualified in that respect - personally I suspect you must be one of those bedwetting nutjobs blinded by hatred, and Phil finds your golfing celebrity encounter stories dull, while Granty thinks you moan too much about our fine rail services. No wonder you were blocked, probably vocalising the questions that the few fear to think....brought it upon yourself! That said, keep stoking the fire.

There are so many sticks Chez, but let me have one last whack as it is a sturdy one... As you so kindly remind us Mr View, I and many others here are nothing but effing losers and c**ts, and indeed we are all blinded by hatred - but that said, I still think that dressing up donations to pay player wages as a 100% charity event is out of order. You may see decency in the football club getting out the charity begging bowl to quietly pay the wagebill, but do you know what, I think I still disagree! And while irrational abuse is a fine attempt at talking anyone round and a shrewd tactic that should be deployed far more in high-brow debate on Question Time, I'm not entirely convinced that your eloquent and beautifully-crafted argument has swayed me on this occasion. But I thank you for adding a new dimension to the discussion. The event is clearly promoted and labelled as a charity bike ride. But half of the money is going straight into a local business. You support that approach to club finance - but surely you can see why a bunch of blindly-hating effing loser nutjob c**nts might not?... If the Saints Foundation started diverting charity funds into club coffers I would be horrified. If Liverpool started taking a cut from the Justice campaign they would rightly be condemned. This is not about Nutjobbery, it's just ethics and morals.

Geography ain't the problem. There is no issue at all with the 50% that is going to charity, whether it's in portsmouth, Southampton, Sutton Scotney or wherever - tis a worthy cause and a fine effort by all. It's the £8,000 being diverted into club coffers under the banner of charity that might make people recall the days of big bouncing cheques on the pitch and theft from kids in wheelchairs. The politest way to put it would be that they may have been poorly-advised. Raise funds for Jack. Then raise funds for the club - but don't kid the public that both gigs are charitable.

One doesn't like to tap into an open goal but when it's presented it's difficult to resist.... Indeed there is a very worthy charitable cause for a young child who died.... Is this cycling event really raising funds using that worthy cause as a selling point BUT diverting half of the public's 'charity' donations to pay player wages and to keep the boardroom drinks flowing? Really? If true it wouldn't be a new low as stealing cash from dying kids will take some beating, but dressing up begging to sort a cashflow shortfall in a poorly-funded business, as a charitable act, is a pretty good contender. Some people still need to understand that there is no share, there is no glorious ownership, fan-control is a fantasy myth spun to help the cartoon soap opera plot to hobble along in a manner that is pleasing to the eye of the hard-of-thinking. There are just donations, and these are used to pay the likes of Kitson and Connolly, to buy cases of Aldi Fizz, and to pay off Barker and Whittingham.

As if we didn't know it from the decision-making, their directors box looks short on professionalism. Is McInnes following the trail that TCWTB blazed? Once a figurehead and harmless character, now a figure of fun and ridicule who shames the rest of the fanbase. You can dress him up but you can't take him out.

This is all going wrong! Their survival will be so comfortable they can't even spin a great escape into folklore. There's no glory in midtable obscurity and abject failure - simple folk demand a final-day, last-gasp hero to celebrate, worship....then fail to pay and abuse. How else can the easily-led be distracted from the Trust losing control of the club? Poor PR.
