Pamplemousse

A plucky 0-0 draw for lowly Portsmouth

8 minutes of stoppage time! The ref is doing everything possible to help them win!

Perhaps next season we'll have a yellow and blue away kit

I think it's because Saturday is on Xmas Eve. The midweek games were the ones that would've been played on a Saturday had Boxing Day not been in the Monday. I think that's right.

Long and Rodriguez are already low in confidence. If he said openly that we were going to buy a striker, that would do no good whatosever to them. So in my opinion this is excellent man management from Puel. I think we will sign a striker, we need to.

I also heard Les Reed was videoing the whole thing so he can input the data into the black box.

What is rather amusing on twitter is the fans getting angry at this match being labelled a 'South Coast Derby' But most of the anger is coming from the Blue Few! They're not happy at being left out - it's the usual tripe about their fans, we get 16k fans in League 2, double what you get in the Prem, Bournemouth is a tinpot club, etc.

Fonte slept with Forster's wife. Didn't you hear about it 9-3?

He was the opposite to a Puel! Great going forward, not so much at the back. Perhaps we should do it NFL style. Puel can be our defensive coordinator and Adkins our offensive coordinator.

I've always been a fan of us wearing white. I really liked the white third kit we wore back in the Championship days

Saints in white!

Even for their standards, that is such a poor article.

We're 9th in the table and one round away from a Wembley final. He's done wonders for us. If we can just work on converting our chances, we'll finish 6th or 7th again.

Loud renditions of 'We Don't Care About You' please from those making the trip

How we are playing is no worse than how we were playing last December. I'd say arguably we were worse 12 months ago.

What their kids want?! If I had told my dad as a kid that I wanted to go to Fratton Park I'd have been given a slap!

What kit will we be wearing?

We're still in the top half of the table.

We created chances, forced their keeper to make saves, all whilst playing against a team whose ONLY objective was to not concede. The result is not a disaster as some are trying to make out.

One team was trying to win, the other wasn't. J Rod missing an open goal again doesn't help either. NEW STRIKER NEEDED

We've played better than we did in the first half at Middlesbrough. As soon as they started to park the bus, there was less space for us. Of course it's going to be harder if we're the only team who is actively trying to win the game.

Stoke will park the bus, we will get a goal in the second half I reckon. Hopefully Alpine will come online shortly and scream Puel Out

Stoke fans really are the worst in the country.

Dusic ?

I'll happily defend JWP and he has played well this season but he had a terrible game on Sunday.
