The Dutch aren't even winning. Not looking good for them really

Bradley Wright-Phillips was cheered because he robbed from the skates

Unfortunately, this story has come from the Daily Express, the very definition of fake news.

I will judge him on his performances in this season, if he looks like he isn't putting in 100% or isn't fully committed.

The English press, in particular sports journalists, are despicable. This type of reporting doesn't happen anywhere else in the world.

The players wanted Black to stay!

Espanyol, historically, are supporters of a united Spain (Espanyol = catalan for Spanish)

Celtic have already played us at St Mary's, for Lundekvam's testimonial.

Lol, no chance we'll sell him in January. He's utterly deluded. Or rather, his agent is. Every time he or his agent makes a comment in the press, the club should up the asking price by £10M

http://englishsoccerguide.com/meet-an-english-soccer-club-portsmouth-fc/ Interesting read. I feel that, as nutjobs, it is our responsibility to enlighten Paul about the real Portsmouth. It's interesting that he references the rivalry between Portland and Seattle, because this is the welcome Portland fans give to Seattle, and one I feel Saints ought to replicate whenever we next welcome our fishy friends...

Long up front on his own doesn't work unless we're playing on the counter attack, which we don't do. Play him on the right, drop Redmond and put Gabbiadini up front. However, I have a feeling that he'll just drop Redmond for Boufal instead

We will score more in one game (eventually) than we have for the entire season at home

Still jealous of Everton?

Now losing at home to Burnley...

Consistency is his biggest issue. He plays well one time, then has a stinker the next game.

That therein lies the problem. We seem to have far too many of them.

Bit of trouble inside the ground today... #bestfans

This. Les Reed is the issue

He got the team wrong at the start, definitely.

No, other than beating Palace away and beating West Ham... Next 4 games are crucial. Newcastle at home = must win. Draw would not be a good result.

That's the issue - he doesn't have the players available at his disposal. That's an issue with Les Reed. Boufal did make a difference today but he's never been consistent. He has one good game and then the next game has a stinker.

We're not in a relegation battle - we'll beat the teams worse than us, but I very much doubt a top half finish is on the cards. 13th is our level at the moment. Maybe scrape 10th if we have a good transfer window in January, and we do our business EARLY.

Another effective game from him...

I want Les Reed to go, and Wilson too. Recruitment of attacking players is the issue.
