whelk

my final post for 24 hours - does anyone have previous Saints Web players of the season? Must have been Rickie last year?

And Echo Chief Sports Writer votes Harding. Comical

I see someone voted Hammond!

Some Portsmouth fans where i work don't seem to love us much. Stems from a strike or something

@Chrismarsden4 is a fake although he fooled Matty for a while

@mattletiss7 - confirmed by Kevin Davies to be genuine

Not a red herring but incorrect. A red herring is a clue that points you in the wrong direction. Just saying

Can we have some musical notes against it - i cant get the tune from the words

Guessing not too many real life friends alpine?

I am relatively new here and appreciate that it's not easy to find truly stimulating threads on a football club forum without constant repetition and repeat debate but bit baffling how such an inane attention seeking opening post can generate 4 pages of responses. And the guy spouting such ridiculous stuff has 15000+ posts to his name so assume he has a history of tongue in cheek provocation?

Current form for last 8 league games P W D L Pts 1 Peterborough 8 7 1 0 22 2 Leyton Orient 8 7 1 0 22 3 Brighton 8 7 0 1 21 4 Southampton 8 5 2 1 17 5 Mk Dons 8 5 2 1 17 6 Huddersfield 8 4 4 0 16 Hard to believe all sides are so strong at this time of year. Bearing in mind Brighton's one loss was to MK Dons and MK Dons only loss was to Orient! The one plus side is the bookies don't seem to have noticed as 6/4 and 13/8 readily available for Peterborough and Huddersfield's midweek games. Easy money although still gutted when Huddersfield scored in 90+2 although paid for the Chinese!

Hope he sat down when told to or have stewards finally given up trying. And don't think the true fans are in the Northam Nicola - most of them are muppets!

It's his post match comments that are becoming so boring. Cant put my finger on exactly what the difference between his interviews and Pardew's. But from last night below = c'mon we are all aware it was Tuesday and you were up north ffs. More talk of being in the building please. "We've come to get six points from Rochdale away and Hartlepool away. One was cancelled so we have to go to Rochdale on a Tuesday evening and we got one point instead of the three." "It was frustrating. Obviously we've come to Hartlepool on a February evening on a Tuesday night and the fans have come and got behind the player and it was a competitive game."

cant believe all the criticism of Rochdale. We got ourselves in this 'noddy' league so accept it. How can Rochdale have a pitch like our on their budget and rainfall you morons. Tis frustrating but dont start slagging off smaller clubs - no wonder Brighton and others hate us for arrogance - dont blame them for some of the muppets posting here.

And hopefully selection of pubs will widen soon thanks to the good old pompey landlady

neither have Sky so top suggestions mate as to where he can watch the game. O'Neills and King Alf will have it on and the pub up near the hospital thta name escapes me (no St James Tavern) Oh and best pub in Winch is Black Boy

hard to believe how dodgy we have been in away games this season yet still have the most away wins in L1 - not even joint!

Sounds like a load of bitter sorts here whose noses are out of joint by someone taking their limelight. I don't have the background but crap to slag off someone from relative anonymity and if I were him I would want to take it further if my club refused me a season ticket. At least have the courage to give the man an explanation. As for the press having a field day - assume we are only thinking of the Echo?

Skates is far too tame- always be scummers to me

Carlos Vela on loan. There was talk of Frimpong (from his own mouth) about Saints being a loan choice in August so why not? Would score bucket loads at this level but a long shot I admit as won't overly sharpen him for PL but would boost confidence

Bale sell on clause - does anyone know if we cashed in on this already? Assume we must have had one. Apologies if repetition as no doubt been answered previously

David James

Ok i change my mind - he was brilliant and he rallied the troops admirably after we conceded and everyone looked so up for it and we were so unlucky not to win. we're lucky to have such a captain.

Yes disappointed to see Pardew kick off with a win - not cos to wish him ill but cos i had £50 on the scousers. Was hoping they would sulk more. And first abject performance at home for a while so cant level it all at Adkins. We dont want many repeats tho. Puncheon whilst being **** at least gave us an option from the bench which we didnt have today

Hammond is a poor captain I think. Doesn't seem to give Alex and others any encouragement. Although why is the whole team so quiet. I sit close enough and here so little. Kelvin as previous caption was worst still. I know captaincy isn't all about just shouting your mouth off but doesn't strike me there are too many run through a wall lead by example types at teh club. Aaron Martin looks promising though.
