How's that a handball from 2 yards away?

Aaaaaaand it's another MLG thread. Bye everyone!

And a certain Welshman ahead of Surman maybe.

Said it before and I'll say it again. Video technology would have cleared that up in 20 seconds. Games shouldn't swing on decisions like that.

Yeah and I don't much like Bournemouth either.

How was that goal given and Bompey's disallowed?

What about FA Cup + All our top players and Koeman sign new long term deals + 12th + knock Liverpool out of EL but lose semi to Spurs. or EL + Relegation but come straight back up + Pompey relegated + Noshed off by Saints WAG of your choice

Yep, same. Normally I'd prioritise the League over the FA Cup but winning the EL would trump that if we stayed up. The chance to play in the Champions League, even for only a year would attract some high caliber players.

Yeah but Hooper dies and the shark doesn't explode (sorry Fry). The film is better IMO.

Watford is no bigger than any other game and I would place higher priority on this one. I'd expect a very similar team to the Everton game but with J Rod and Romeu probably starting ahead of Long and maybe Tadic.

Terrible replacements. Romeu, Clasie, Caulker and Van Dijk were all dreadful first half.

Some people already have, some never will, the rest are spread out inbetween.

2 years ago today. Probably my favourite moment watching England.

EL by a mile. 1. We've never won it before 2. Into the Champions League 3. It would mean one heck of a European tour. We'd probably have to beat the likes of Dortmund and Liverpool at some point. 4. Most of us went to Wembley for the JPT, 15,000 Saints fans packing out Basel City centre would be quite something.

He put in a couple of decent performances but that doesn't prove he is up to it yet. Targett has also put in a couple of decent performances but I don't think he is quite ready yet either. My point about those youth players in the admin season was that they looked promising but they weren't ready for regular first team action. I wouldn't want to make the same mistakes when there is no need to. Reed is 20 years old, he wont be a has-been if he spends a year in the Championship.

We can't give our academy players regular first team football if they just aren't good enough yet. The fact that we've brought in Clasie and Romeu and are considering loaning Reed out suggests he isn't ready yet. We gave first team opportunities to Oli Lancashire, Calum Davenport, Jamie White and Jake Thompson when they clearly weren't ready for it. Look how that turned out.

My sources close to the club are telling me Fonte is Portuguese.

Yeah, bigger clubs. Not Villa.

I'm not quite sure how or why Villa would be a big pay day. It strikes me their squad has been lacking investment for years now.

You're talking to a man who has already written off a 19 year old, based on the first game of the season. I wouldn't pay too much attention.

Live on SS1 this evening. In a perverse way I kind of want them to go through, if they make it to R3 I wouldn't mind another trip to Fratton. Having said that, I wont cry too much if Derby stick 5 past them.

I've been impressed with him so far. In an ideal world we'd get to keep him at the end of the season and let Kelvin and Gazza go. I'm sure there's room in our squad for 2 decent 'keepers, especially if we make it into Europe again.

I'll take a laser pen or something and point you out to them.

I think if this is Morgan's replacement and Clasie is being seen as more of an upgrade/replacement for Davis then I'm pretty happy.

Glad you could make it Erico. Where are you sitting?
