The Queen has two birthdays and she didn't even buy us a trainee goalkeeper. Markus bought us a whole ****ing team so he should get 3, 5 or even 17 birthdays if he wants. Tell you what, Markus, just let us know when you want a birthday cake and we'll get you one. Any time. Day or night.

I would like us to get a title but I would also like to see us in the Championship next year, playing a severely restructured P*mpey (maybe playing their youth side and struggling on -20 points). If we don't go up this year, we might miss our chance as we go up the following year and they pass us on the way down.

Looked so good. An absolute handful. And right in there with the team spirit. Can't disagree with you. He was great today.

That was an awesome link. Thanks again.

Same here. Think Cortese got the message about Pardew's standing with the fans. Well done all.

Hey Guys. You like this feeling. You like Wembley. Let's win these last games and come back I feel it's strangely possible now. Hope they do too.

So nearly 5!

Lots of space at the back for both sides now. Could be more goals in this.

Sat on the floor in Canberra, watching on the big TV! Hope I don't wake the kids up with my cheering!

What a goal! 4-0

Amazing isn't it. Carlisle put the ball in first time, he gets a semi. We put it in first time and score and he calls it a mistake.

It's 3!

Is it just me or when a big name team are playing and 2-0 up, the commentators talk about how they'll run on and score 3. When it's a side like us, the talk is about how the other side can get back into it. Very frustrating.

2-0 yes!

Robson giving us problems - dirty cheating diving little ****. Good crossed though.

We seemed to stop the keeper doing an early throw and then switched off and let him take it anyway. Nearly cost us!

We're being a bit too cute up front. Lots of one-twos. Carlisle are a bit more direct.

Thanks for that. It's a little jumpy but it's there. Cheers!

I guess it will be like a morgue on here today but I thought I just had to ask.

Perhaps if that's the quality of journalismat 'The Mirror', they should let Peter Storrie ghost write all their articles: not just the Pompey ones.

They haven't just adopted that mentality. It's their natural state. Little Islanders living like little islanders. It's just a matter of time until they build a giant straw man and start casting fevered looks at strangers from out of town. Royston Vasey F.C. That's what their reformed club should name themselves. The local club for local people.

TBF, we have bigger fish to fry that day It's probably more fitting that they are relegated by the time THEY set foot on the turf at Wembley - and they aren't playing for actual silverware that day.

It is a bit ridiculous how Cortese is portrayed as someone who enjoys boiling down the complexities of the game to something like a spreadsheet but the manner in which Samuel chooses to write his article does exactly the same thing: boiling Cortese's character down to a charicature. He makes some valid points in there. Cortese does need to calm down and he is impatient but then if he does pull off infusing Saints with ambition, journos like Samuel will be fighting to be first in line to get a quote off him. Another day. Another story. That's journalism for you.

Great post.

Crap post.
