Pamplemousse

We would if we were drawn at, let's say Fratton Park I wouldn't mind giving the skates a good tonking with our reserves

Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook 33m33 minutes ago #pompey are 2-0 down after a calamitous OG. Joe Devera tried to clear a cross and hit the ball of the back of goalkeeper Paul Jones

It'll be interesting/amusing to see just how tinpot they would sink to if by some miracle they did reach the play-offs

Maybe it's no so unrealistic... Beginning to wish they had sacked Awford

There was quite a bit of aggro when the played Sunderland if I recall, hence the high number. Most of them probably stemmed from that one game

I hope so, I've been following their progress in the MLS ever since I met a guy from Portland, who in turn is now a supporter of Southampton

On this day 3 years ago... Time flies when you're having fun. In PTS terms it's from page 1085

As a former manager of ours said, we need to control the controllables. As long as we win tomorrow, we're in a strong position.

Average points of remaining opponents 1 Chelsea 29.786 2 Arsenal 29.857 3 Manchester City 31.000 4 Southampton 31.214 4 Swansea City 31.214 6 Tottenham Hotspur 31.286 7 Sunderland 31.571 8 Newcastle United 31.857 9 Aston Villa 32.143 10 West Ham United 32.500 11 Queens Park Rangers 32.571 12 Manchester United 32.643 13 Hull City 33.214 14 Stoke City 33.286 15 Everton 33.429 16 Leicester City 33.643 17 West Bromwich Albion 34.357 18 Liverpool 34.714 19 Crystal Palace 35.429 20 Burnley 36.286 Liverpool have got a tough run of fixtures coming up and Man Utd have got some tricky ones left too, whereas us, Arsenal and Spurs have it slightly easier. Burnley's run in is horrific

Love seeing little Sammy Lee jumping up and down for delight, as well as the rest of the bench

The Invalides is a good one, Napoleon's tomb really is a sight to behold, as well as other exhibits if you're into history.

fART strikes again, I can't tell if you're a poor WUM or if you are actually that deluded.

That would be dedicated nutjobbery right there Sir Trousers

So what if he speaks English? I speak French well enough but it didn't stop me from getting home sick from time to time when I was living out there especially in the first few months, which definitely had an impact on my work. I know having English friends with me helped a great deal. Might be the same for Tadic.

Interesting signing, I wonder if he's being signed with Tadic also in mind, perhaps signing another Serbian will help him regain his form

And finally, the straw-clutchiest posts

We need the nuns!

Get in Pellè!

Bestest pitch in the world

Hope Luke Shaw gets a good reception and he doesn't get booed. Let's save the vitriol for when Liverpool come to town next month

A good few Portsmyths have resurfaced over on POL tonight

http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/ddkbxq/match-of-the-day-live--201415-fa-cup-third-round-replay BBC will be showing a replay live on the Wednesday so there's a pretty good chance our game will be shown.

Interesting statistic - only the second time this season we've scored more than one goal away from home in the league.

3rd goalkeeper? Cropper?

On my FM save last year, Barcelona bought Gazzaniga for £2M
