Good to see Murty starting, wonder what effect that'll have on the back 4.

Here's hoping they can gel.

COYS!

lol Pompey

Charlie Brooker's article in the Guardian is pretty spot on. I've been saying the same thing about the Jamie Oliver Sainsbury's ad for weeks, it's so fake it makes me sick.

I don't understand why Paterson hasn't gone out on loan yet. I don't rate him and he needs some first team experience.

Feeney looks promising.

I'm not even going to begin talking about this.

France should withdraw and allow Ireland to take that last slot (when pigs fly).

Never been too good at the campaign, am stuck quite early on the Favela level on Hardened difficulty. Can complete Halo on Legendary but not COD on Veteran, so frustrating. Most of my time goes to multiplayer though, which is great. Love the FAMAS.

Good move IMO. Hammond is an experienced captain and will be great to have a captain moving around the pitch. I always thought KD being captain caused him to come off his line a little too far, a little too often.

Great that he can remain club captain though and can still remain influential in that role. I think he's been a great captain and he still has a lot to offer in that way.

I heard Rupert Lowe was up there.....?

Would be glad to see Hammond as captain, i like him.

Davis has been a good captain but i think it's always best to have an outfield player as captain. It might stop him from coming out so far.

We were due a beating.

Probably kick up the arse we need.

Saints = Hoof.

Only players to come out with any credit are Davies, James, Antonio & Thomas.

Agree with this. Except James, he needs to learn to put his foot in for tackles and run with the ball instead of doing the same cross over and over again to no effect. Sad because i think he's been looking a lot better recently.

It's got to the stage where i expect to win every match. I knew we'd beat Charlton, and the only disappointment was not keeping a clean sheet.

The only team i think will give us any threat now is Leeds.

Stade Francais?

 

This is what i was going to post.

I mean, honestly.

It will be great to see around 23k there, and i reckon 25k+ for the Norwich game could be a reality too. (Sad not to be going).

I think 30k for Leeds is pushing it slightly but you never know.

Will be leaving soon. It's gonna be a good game no matter what i reckon. Charlton will be wanting to put their last result behind them so we'd better be careful. We can win this no problem though.

It's not a particularly long trip from London so they could bring a fair few. The fact that it's on TV also might mean some won't come.

I reckon 12,000 total attendance will be about right. I just wish the whole stadium was open, looked a bit underwhelming seeing all those empty seats for the Torquay game.

Multiplayer isn't too hard. Feels about the same standard as COD4. Went negative by a few in my first game, mainly down to not knowing the map. Get to know them pretty quickly though.

Just got mine in the post. Gonna fire it up in a bit.

So excited about it. Hopefully it will come tomorrow, gameplay.com have a deal with a courier service so any postal strikes won't affect it.

It's going to be amazing, i'll be jumping straight into multiplayer.

It will fantastic to keep hold of Antonio. I don't see why we can't, we was on form before his original one month loan was up, and now we've extended it until January. He was playing in Reading's reserves, and although he is great they don't seem to be desperate for him back.

Gobern on for Harding at 3 nil up. Discuss

Gobern is trash. Got a yellow card, gave away a penalty. I hope that's the last time he sees first team action. He is awful :mad:

This is the best link i've found. Except the commentary is in Iraqi but that doesn't matter.

If Lambert gets injured would he not ciome straight in to the reckoning? I'm not sure I'd fancy Connelly up front on his own.

I hope not. I've not been impressed with what i've seen of him. A loan spell will do everyone the world of good. If Lambert is injured i'd like to see Connolly in his place, although i know he probably wouldn't be able to play a full 90, maybe Lallana.

Didn't even know they had a team.

Been let down with these things before so i'll wait and see, and i'd rather not pay.

I think we need to treat this with a little more caution. How many players have we seen on a short-term loan, look the business only for them to turn out to be average or poor. I'm for extending the loan to the end of the season, in order to have a proper look at him and then make a decision if a permanent signing is a right for us.

Agree with this.

Definitely would like to see more of him. Been impressed with him right from the start, but should probably still not sign him up just yet.
