No complaints from me about the pricing or the selling arrangements, although I do resent the £3 booking tax.

On the Eve of President Obama calling the coalitions budget "necessary and courageous" David Cameron and his team have added to their growing respect by pledging to sort out Labours benefits culture by targeting the slobs on incapacity benefits. After 13 dark and dreary years of the nanny state taxing the workers to give to the Karen Matthews of the world it's liberating to have a government that's got its priorities right. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/7858141/Millions-face-incapacity-benefit-cuts-as-welfare-reforms-speed-up.html

The problem has always been the same with England. There's a little gang of players that are automatically on the team sheet e.g Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard. And Gerrard is never a captain. He's a **** Liverpool captain. The sooner this "golden generation" retire the better.

Dulldayzzz hates it so it must be cool.

I try to offer you some medical advice and you throw it back in my face. Thanks a lot.

It's probably the most expensive. Paying a £3 booking tax for tickets is daylight robbery.

Go on any pro British YouTube clip and read the Argies comments. They really hate us because of the Falklands.

Despite the illiteracy one would expect from a Skate i'm in total agreement.

You really should stop smoking if you are suseptable to chest infections though. Have you tried the new tablets they're dolling out - everyone I know that's been prescribed them has stopped.

Do you smoke? If so that's the reason why you were always on the sick.

As has David Cameron.

Being British is like being Australian - a civic title, but being English is like being Aboroginal.

I am of the same view as The Duke of Wellington and Cecil Rhodes.

What's wrong with having two half pints?

That's because the impact of those sentences diminished with time. These latest sentences are what we might call a refresher.

As you are arguing in favour of segregation i.e holding fans in, would you be in favour of only allowing away fans to use supporters coaches? I'm not in favour of this personally as it would mean that the thugs are dictating how normal fans attend games.

No. A wall or any other barricade was not possible at fratton park due to the exit locations and geography of the area.

Correct. You seem to be under the impression that football yobs are a part of football culture. In my old mans day him and his brothers used to watch Saints and Pompey.

Yobs shouldn't dictate when normal fans leave a stadium, but at Fratton Park due to the exit routes and the fact that the yobs weren't sufficiently worried about custodial sentences, they did dictate. With the sentences given to the 12 Saints "fans" it sends out a message to the yobs and we shall see if it makes a difference.

Well for the second game at fratton park (the relegation season) i moaned enough about the club charging me £1 to park at St Marys.

I most certainly was at fratton park for both games.

It has everything to do with safe exit routes. Those leaving the Itchen North (where most of the yobs were located) had to exit the stadium to the right and to reach the walkway bridge they had to walk all the way around the stadium. This meant that the Porstmouth fans had a clear exit route and a head start over the yobs. Compare that to Goldsmiths Avenue and due to the layout of Fratton park this route was required by both home and away fans.

I believe the police took the right course of action at Portsmouth and the right course of action at Southampton. Both situations were different because of the locations. At St Marys the police sucessfully created exit routes for both sets of fans, at Fratton this was clearly not a logistical possibility.

I can't remember if it was raining to be honest. In fact both the away games blur into one. I know for one of them it hailed.
