Tight 1-0 win. Stoke have had some decent results but also some dodgy ones like losing to WBA and Watford.

That means that our only Premier League game on TV between now and the end of January is the match on boxing day against Arsenal

£20M and I'd accept but he won't be going anywhere

13 points I predict. 4 wins and a draw, defeat at Man City.

Highlights on MOTD now

Yoshida in for Cédric and Ward-Prowse in for Wanyama

Don't feed the troll people

Overheard a couple of skates today talking about the weekend's match. Both of them are not going because 'going to Fratton Park is boring nowadays, we ain't scored no goals and I can't be bothered'

You're looking at the first team but you need to look at the quality of the bench. We have genuine options in case Plan A goes wrong. In fact, I'd say we're weaker currently because Shane Long and JRod, who would normally be on the bench, aren't available to come on. But when everybody is fit, we have a stronger squad than last year. If you want to pick out results, I'll choose the two aways games at Chelsea and Liverpool. Last season we got 1 point. This season we have got 4 from those games.

Paul Cook: "It meant a lot to Notts County to beat us"

http://www.sporcle.com/games/Adamw1993/south-coast-derby-players-in-the-21st-century Just stumbled across this quiz. How many can you name? Ashamedly I only managed around 40, it's amazing how many obvious ones you forget about

This could end up 6, 7 or 8-0 if we're bang on form.

We should beat Liverpool at home.

There will be goals and plenty of them. 3-3, Saints to win on penalties.

Stekelenburg, Cédric, Fonte ©, van Dijk, Bertrand, Wanyama, Clasie, S. Davis, Mané, Tadić, Pellè. That team is our strongest XI when everyone is fit. Will be interesting to see if Clasie is ready as evidently last week he wasn't.

Not bad for a team in the play-off places

Eastleigh through to the FA Cup First Round. Possible Hampshire derby on the cards...

Interestingly, Liverpool have named a pretty strong team for tonight.

Leeds should be in the Premier League, given the size, history and passion of the fanbase, but it just goes to show how important being a well run club is. Leeds have been so badly mismanaged over the years.

We should have kept attacking them, their defending was dreadful. Unfortunately we didn't test them at all in the second half and let them gain momentum.

Yoshida woooah Yoshida woooahh He eats lots of sushi He facking hates Pompey

Leicester have played one decent team in Arsenal and they got found out massively. They cannot defend at all and if our front three are clicking then it could be another game like Villa or Sunderland last season.

Things kicking off on the pitch, one of the assistants on the pitch trying to confront the referee. I hope that's not another F.A. fine coming up...
