If another club was preparing a £25m bid I hope that they saw enough in the middle of the season to not table a £25m bid.

The Kenya international has had an excellent season for Saints No he didn't, he was excellent on occasions - and a waste of space on many others. Give us £15m and let's all move on.

It did remind me of the game at St Mary's - Klopp is a great manager, for 45 mins. If he gets together with Poch, who can often get 70 mins out of his team, between them they might be able to get more than an hour out of the beautifully pampered and moisturised Lallana.

His team blew up spectacularly just to entertain us and he bothered to come back to show his respect for Kelvin. I feel better about Poch after seeing that photo. Fair play to him.

Prudence is now driving her little wagon up between the Sunny Delight and cheese that comes in an aerosol. Unlike the bigger wagon in the background, her wheels didn't fall off last week.

Did he just say that the battle of the League Two heavyweights, the big hitters of the 4th tier, the teams that in reality finished 5th and 6th, was in fact a Champions' League game? I could grasp being joint top when you are 4th, but this is a step too far, even for me. And he clearly just attempted quality over quantity and he ran out of players. Does he intend to repeat that mistake but outspend the others even more? Great idea!

True. They welcomed criminals and their money with open arms and then tried to blame the league for not stopping them. They thrived on laundered cash from criminal activity and didn't complain when things were going well. But as predicted at the time, if you swim with sharks there will only be one outcome. The savaged and rotting torso still washes up on a League Two beach every May - this summer it was in Plymouth.

Wotton will be the only former Saint who will be fondly remembered at SMS, not for anything he did in a Saints shirt - just for the overly-aggressive manner in which he carried out his coaching role in a couple of Plymouth Argyle games in the bottom tier.

Before anyone takes the ****** - they did finish in the highest position in their short history and never looked likely to be relegated out of the football league, so all in all they had a pretty good season. I'd be surprised if they don't rip up Division Four next year - or at least finish joint top again.

That was unlucky.

The way he asks his teams to play seems to be flawed. They run out of steam, they occasionally become one dimensional and their discipline is questionable. Other than that, he's a messiah! Spurs.

Redknapp is doing a top top job at Derby. #terrific

If memory of the table serves me correctly their appalling display at West Brom relegated Palace - but it's ancient history. We have future internationals in our academy system who weren't born then. Meanwhile the local media spoon-feeds toothless simpletons the version of last night that they demand - Pompey seized control, roared on by a packed Fratton Park

So they are jointly ahead going into the second leg then - advantage pompey! A draw or a virtual defeat at Home Park will take them to Wembley. Probably.

The two big hitters of the division?? It's 5th v 6th in Division Four, not exactly Real Madrid-Barcelona is it! Heavyweights! Are we are all supposed to pretend that they didn't finish 21 points behind Northampton Town? History being rewritten quicker than usual there. I'll be curious to see if they pack the park for the biggest game in their short history, the only thing Paul Cook has packed so far this season is sandwiches.

Apparently the Plymouth coaching team had a right kick-off with adjacent supporters the other week so it could get tasty tonight. Not West Ham tasty, but I'd be surprised if the evening is incident-free.

Take that 43 years and add in the factors of passion and pluckiness and he has been sat there for 170 years. Which unfortunately after two administrations comes down to a week and a half.

No, no, no, no, no! There is only one great atmosphere in world football and one set of fans passionate enough to ruin their own party! Pele said it was the bestest ever when he played at Fatpipes in 1966 during Lord Nelson's famous World Cup dock strike commemoration match. #fact

I think his one mistake lasted approx 95 minutes.

maybe he wants to go where no man has been before, but he wants to do it without hair?

He must have been confused as he bought a ticket back In August for this game expecting to see the champions - and he did.

They could build on virtual land and wave about blank sheets of A4 while pretending they have deeds? The former Toyboy should keep a low profile because everytime he sticks his head about the parapet and spouts crap there are mischievous ones on here who dig out his bestest most humiliating moments from the archive - the sort of stuff that even makes his POL buddies wince. And those classic posts are the last thing anyone of us would want to see. Again.

lots of interesting options on financing are being looked into....

Where are scum? 66 league places away. International tax-evasion news - Harry Redknapp got off to a shaky start in his latest position as Central Coast Mariners’ “football consultant” with the experienced English coach getting the name of his new club wrong in a radio interview and indicating he would not be visiting Australia in his new role.

Another myth is being written! Rather than taking the 76 reunion as a reunion, they are selling it to each other as a sad celebration by the club that demanded an open bus tour all around the city. Sorry skates, it was a reunion, and it was cool for the players to travel on the original bus from the guildhall to the ground as part of the nostalgia. That's what happens when you pay the cup final team, they look back fondly on the day and come back to see you. How many players from 2008 will be rolling up for a reunion?....about the same number of creditors that got paid in full. And this coming from people who get excited every year about the time that Norris scored at St Mary's to earn the mighty blues a battling draw that halted our promotion and kept them up...sort of.
