100%Red&White

Don't like to dwell on the negatives as there's far more positives right now but our home support does seem to be getting poorer each home game. Last night was shocking we were attacking second half in near silence. If the Northam/Kingsland corner don't make a bit of noise then SMS is dead. Most south of the halfway line need to wake up, you don't have to sing but give them a bit of a roar if we're piling forward. Good start to 2013, we need a Gaston Thriller at Aston Villa, repeat of QPR away will do nicely.

"Saints have been allocated 2,977 tickets for the trip to Aston Villa on Saturday 12th January 2013 (3pm kick off)." I think we should demand the other 23 tickets. 10% of capacity or 3,000, the cheating b'stards

Tell them you can get them good tickets for £135 + VAT, you'll make yourself over £20!

Hospitality only remaining. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/hospitality-spaces-only-for-arsenal-541241.aspx Let the pleading for tickets begin.

I've just been informed that there was a phone-in on Solent this morning suggesting a merger of Saints and the skates at Whitely and TCWTB (you know, the drunken one who p*sses on seats, get thrown out of grounds and likes showing off his hooligan tatts) was once again given celebrity billing. Glad I missed it. Watched that John Bishop thing last night (up until he went to the island tracing some relative who was in the navy), it started with a copy of the relatives birth certificate showing he was from Landport, Southsea in the 'County of Southampton'. That must have hurt a touch.

Went late 1970s to see Madness down Bournemouth, think it was called the 'Stateside' back than, a lot of from Southampton there that night - memorable evening. Good one a while later too at the 'Gaumont', match at the Dell then up town for Madness, back in the days when being a skinhead was a choice!

Hey, tbf it's keeping Tandanari Lee in work.

"It's the way I tell 'em"

We sure have got more than our fair share. Someone recently sent me this, a kind of 'calling card' for AC's 'South Curve' Ultras with menacing looking 'Hoody' in the corner got me thinking what ours would probably look like but thought it only right to do the skate's one too

We played them in a friendly a few years later, missed out on this trip but knew a lot of lads that went - a number of lads from the Painted Wagon and (the old) Warrens. I don't know how it could have happened but most went out in tatty old jeans and Ts but came back with a very impressive wardrobe of designer gear? Not to mention some colourful tales of the Reeperbahn!

Well, these are the kind of games we need to be looking at for 3 points at home - and the next 2, Reading/Sunderland - already only picking up a single point against Wigan and Swansea wasn't ideal. That's not arrogance, just being realistic that you need to win your home games, particularly against certain teams, if you want to stay up. Stating the bleeding obvious but 3 points against tonight's opposition would probably have been marked down as one to collect the max.

F'sure. The minnows of the Premier League, living in the shadow of their bigger near neighbours and will want to "slit his throat" when the "Judas" f*cks off to yet another "spiritual home".

You all mock but that end is rammed - for a change their fancy-dresser-uppers all went as sky blue seats rather than the thousands of darker blue varieties we see regularly at fatpipe park.

All cousins.

I think once you've taken the regular 10k or so regulars and away supporters out of the equation, all these (imaginery) occasional visitors are the 'die-hards' that have turned up on the thousands of free tickets they've dished out. You can just see all those excited youngsters looking forward to their day out at the zoo only to find they've been tricked as they're forced through the turnstiles at "decrepit" park.

"Finally, the chance to fulfil the club's potential. Our catchment area remains awesome. During the recent decline we have still managed to get a couple of hundred thousand different Pompey fans through the doors of our decrepit but much-loved stadium." Well, I guess that's one way of dressing up the pitiful home crowds that are now hitting sub-10k numbers "In the last few days I've spoken to people previously unconnected to the club and as usual they have expressed their amazement at the support, the atmosphere and the patience of the fans. We are so proud of our club and each other" And Ive spoken to people "unconnected to the club" that say their support is amazingly deluded beyond belief, the atmosphere is generally a (very) few happy-clappy gimps with a bell and a drum and the patience of the FL is staggering. "Watch out football, Pompey are back. Power to the people!" Deluded thick island-dwellers.

It is crazy to think of Benitez accepting a short-term appointment as just a seat-warmer for Guardiola unless he already has something lined up himself for the summer and this suits all parties. Man City? Back to Liverpool? He's even been linked with us!

Said to be going in as caretaker at Chelsea until Summer IF they can't get Pep to come in earlier.

Someone did predict their league attendances would below 10k by Christmas, came a little sooner than expected then. I did chuckle looking at a Swansea forum just before we played them that a skate was posting telling them they were going to be in with them at SMS as they’d “sold out their allocation for Bury”. Imagine my surprise Monday evening when they showed Bury’s (sn1gger) goals on South Today and there were loads of empty seats in the away end. I guess all those empty seats were the same “loyal-passionate-never-boo-follow-them-everywhere” empty seats we regularly see “Packing-the-Park” at fartton every home game?

A young man moved out from home and into a new apartment, all of his own, he went proudly down to the lobby to put his name on his mailbox. While there, a stunning young lady came out of the apartment next to the mailboxes, wearing only a robe. The boy smiled at the young woman and she started up a conversation with him. As they talked, her robe slipped open, and it was obvious that she had nothing else on. The poor kid broke into a sweat trying to maintain eye contact. After a few minutes, she placed her hand on his arm and said, 'Let's go to my apartment, I hear someone coming.' He followed her into her apartment; she closed the door and leaned against it, allowing her robe to fall off completely. Now nude, she purred at him, 'What would you say is my best feature?' Flustered and embarrassed, he finally squeaked, 'It's got to be your ears.' Astounded, and a little hurt she asked, 'My ears?!?!?'' Look at these breasts; they are a full 38 inches and 100% natural. I work out every day and my bum is firm and solid. I have a 28 inch waist. Look at my skin - not a blemish anywhere. How can you think that the best part of my body is my ears?' Clearing his throat, he stammered... 'Outside, when you said you heard someone coming...that was me.'

Deluded f*ckwit. Bye.

Well if it is 'onest-arry' at least he'll be spending money the club actually has this time unlike his time on portsea island. Then the sooner Hughes gets himself in another job the better, just so if NA did get the boot he'd be another dud out of the replacement equation.

He's a very good fit for QPR. Hughesy is a deadman walking, another reason to take 3 points of the 'Mush from Shepherds Bush. Bush-bush-bush-bush', Rodders.

I've just fitted strobe lights in the bedroom. . . . . .It makes the wife look like she's moving during sex. Two Thai girls asked me if I'd like to go bed with them, they said it would be just like winning the lottery! I agreed, and they were right. We all stripped off and to my horror, we had six matching balls! A Muslim has died whilst training to be a Skydiver. The "BNP school of diving" said they had no idea why his snorkel and flippers did not open

I can't remember exactly when Les Reed was appointed but whoever has been 'picking' the team for the past 2 or 3 years has mostly got it right. This season it's gone t!ts-up and I think it's little doubt the reason for this is thast the defensive shortcomings weren't dealt with in the summer. Yet I can clearly recall Adkins publically stating we needed a left back and (1 or 2) centre backs. He was aware of problems ahead, I'd say that's why he mase sure it was on record, so if his concerns weren't followed up by the person responsible for securing transfers that that's were most of the blame should fall.
