I'll have you know I was highly offended by this celebration.

I wasn't overly impressed by him, but then I'd say he was no worse than Fonte today. Prefer Martin based on today's showing, but they did have a tough job against a pair of very capable strikers (no, not McGoldrick). Both goals looked very similar from the Northam, ball coming in from our right and their player having enough space to drive a submarine. Fonte and Jos were nowhere. More concerned with Fox TBH. All those £3 booking fees and we go and spend nearly £2m on a LB who, so far, looks no better than Dickson or Harding. Odd.

Be fair guys, we really do need to get a 5th LB from somewhere, it may as well be Bridge.

Most of mine have already been mentioned, although I'd like to add Jeremy Paxman and EVERYONE on Channel 4 to the list. Also Katie Price and Peter Andre seem to have been omitted thus far. Perhaps they are just too obvious.

Love how we went all the way to USA and ended up having dinner at an Aussie grill, a Chinese restaurant and an Italin pizzeria. Just to add, if you're deliberating over flights, I'd go with Virgin and [geek] if you have a choice of flights, the A340-600 is very quiet, modern and comfortable[/geek]. My personal favourite moment from our trip was going up the top of the Rockefeller centre at night. The views from up there, looking South over Manhattan at the Chrysler building and ESB were breathtaking.

Prutton I think showed real promise in his first season and a half here and I'd say he was one of the better players in the relegation season too. People will go on forever about that Arsenal game, but to be honnest I've seen worse violence at the Women's Institute summer picnic. Such a turbulent period at the club, combined with rolling substitutions for the managers job really didn't help his development. The injury he got in a cup game at Leicester just after Burley took over pretty much finished his career off here. Shame, I think he could have done better than Viafara in 'running around a lot in the middle' role. The other 3 were crap.

Pompey must be doing something right. Having financially missmanaged a club on a truly intergalactic scale, they've managed to find yet another shifty owner and started buying players for £1m again. That kind of lunacy takes genuinely tallent and I think we should applaud all those involved with the club.

Been thinking of joining a gym for the opposite reasons recently, I'm 23 and still have the body I had when I was 15, albeit a bit hairier. I'm the skinniest guy I know, and I know Baj. I'm not exactly going for the beefcake, gym monkey look, just a bit less Keira Knightley.

I thought they said Beattie would be on there too. Could be interesting.

You originally said something cannot possibly make a noise because it cannot physically appear. My point is that thunder and lightning are formed by an electrical dischanrge, which isn't a physical object, but can produce large amounts of light, heat and sound. What's to say so called, 'paranormal activity' isn't caused by some for of electric discharge.

I'm well aware of how thunder and lightning are produced thanks. The point I am trying to make is that lightning is not actually a physical object. It is an electric discharge with no actual mass, unless you're counting the movement of the electrons. Yet it can still make a very loud noise.

What about thunder and lightning? Plenty of noise and bright light, even if there isn't actually anything 'there'.

The grammar on this thread am terrible.

Wonder where he went on holiday with Rickie and Harding. Doesn't look particularly exclusive, if anything a tad overcrowded. Wonder if it was the sqad trip to Vegas.

More striking I think is Plymouth. A year ago they beat us at SMS on the opening day of the season and were tipped to go straight back up again by many. Now they are bottom of the football League, potless and we are basically 3 leagues above them. One day Pompey, one day...

We will win 2-2. Beattie will score a hattrick.

Get behind LTTANO FFS!

I think if the Swindon game taught us anything it's that we just can't make it stick up front without Rickie. Forte and Guly's hold up play is awful and DC is a midget. Barnard is hardly a target man either. I'd take a put on Beatts. He's on a free with a decent payoff from Rangers to boot so I doubt he'd demand extortionate wages.

James Beattie just been released on a free by Rangers

I'll make the obvious comparisson. Jan Paul Saeijs wasn't wanted by Roda JC and he came in and did pretty well for us. Let's not get too 'underwhelmed' just yet. Seaborne and Martin have done pretty well between them overall and Jaidi will do a job every now and then. Up front we have 5 decent and varied options, so we're hardly desperate there either. Welcome Jos. Now prove some people wrong.

Ban this idiot.

In the first half Martin was trying to be a smart arse, pushing the ball away to stop them taking a quick throw in. He got booked then, just before half time, slap head who scored their goal did pretty much the same thing before a free kick. The ref ignored it for some reason, until a few Saints players protested and he got booked. The bloke was clearly frustrated and less than a minute later went in with a pretty rash challenge which certainly deserved a second yellow. The refs only response was to blow for half time for some reason. In the aftermath of all this Harding and PDC ended up having a go at each other as they headed off the pitch.
