This thread is fairly embarrassing. Romeu is now playing better than him, and PEH is a better player. The only one Spiderman could replace is Claise. Sadly he made his choice and fortunately we spent the money wisely!

Given that we have chelsea away next. We physically need to rest the two full backs and VVD as a minimum. Time to call up some more kids I think! Suspect Hekseth will play as well.

He is off to United in January.... I thought everyone knew that? It was leaked in september on here by a very reliable source...

We are of course all disappointing. But we need to all except that this is part of the club and the players learning, growing and developing. They showed respect to a team that in England we'd have comfortably beaten 3-0, just because of reputation. We will still get out of the group. No worries on that. Inter probably wont. Meanwhile the players did us proud and did enough to win. Some very suspect and biased reffing and some unlucky shot taking and good keeping. For me, James Ward Prowse was superb tonight. Really starting to develop into a central midfielder with great passing, technique and creativity. Mcqueen was not out of his depth, boufal showed some nice touches... even yoshida had a good game (

Its a big occasion, not a big game. Simple as that. If the posters above can't agree with the majority and want to start threatening to meet up in real life "to have it out" then, well.... what can you do?!?! I am buzzing, can't wait to get home, crack open a few beers, and watch saints play (and hopefully beat) the 3 times champions of europe on their own patch. I also can't wait to see our away support belting out OWTS from the top tiers of the San Siro... That will be special.

"I've been an admirer of Gallagher for years," Coyle said. "We had to work hard to get him here. He had the loan spell (at MK Dons) last year but it didn't go well for him because it came on the back of the bad injury he had. "I felt we could impart some knowledge, experience that we've picked up. I've had some very good strikers that have come to me, we managed to help Daniel (Sturridge), Benik Afobe, (Marc) Albrighton for a spell, very good attacking players. "I said to Sam I felt he was in that mould of those players that can continue to develop. "He's not the finished article. He's willing to listen, learn, you see the pace he's got and he can score goals. He's not ready yet but I think in time he's going to be a very good player." The victory saw Coyle's men move out of the relegation zone and into 21st place after securing their 12th point of the campaign thus far. Read more at http://www.tribalfootball.com

No it wont. The most important match in Saints' history (living memory) was in 1976. The second one was Coventry at home. If we beat inter its special because its a big club away in a massive stadium.... but its not worth a damn to the club or the fans. They will come bottom of the group. Sour mash isn't right, but neither are people who want to make this into the biggest game in the club's fairly modest history.

Have you added the somalians, pakistanis etc.... sorry i mean Syrians, no wait, they aren't from syria!!!

He will never be the player he could have been due to that injury. Just hope for the best for him now.

I would love to see Redmond, Tadic and Boufal (when all fit) playing as Attacking mids/wingers behind Austin. With Romeu and PEJ as the holding midfielders. Then jayrod and Long to come on for attacking pace/power and directness in the second half. Sadly that just isn't how we play.

Good efforts Colin and Milton Pahars variant not bad either. I think the abba option has potential along the knowing me, knowing you lines. Silky Skills, Scoring goals... Boufal There is nothing he can't do. He's owning you, owning you... Boufal etc etc etc Scoring goals,

I honestly think Trump is going to win the US election. Everywhere you look the right (sometimes far) is on the rise. UK, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Finland etc etc etc. The USA is no different other than they have a higher proportion of nutters. Scary times.

I think what you're saying here is that we were right to leave? We have been harmed massively by the EU between 2005 and 2015?!?! Because clearly being in wasn't working

That's hilarious. So our support the best part of a century ago was better than their current support...

I think most serious saints fans would manage to name at least 4 players that have played for our U23's this season....

I'd like to see a world table of net transfer spend for the past 3 seasons

5...

Les Reed in "due diligence" shocker anyone?

Personally think we played a very tactical game tonight. Harsh conditions, 5 hours flight, time difference, 2 hour drive through the desert to reach the city. And yet we coasted to a draw vs a team that have beaten Celtic (who should have beaten city) and Olympiacos. Fans may not like it, but a draw was all that was required to win the group - where as on Sunday we need to aim for a result. Puel is managing the squad excellently, and it was clear that he told the team not to press first half to conserve energy.... If fans can't understand the above I would question their intelligence. Whether you like it or agree with it is a different story.

DeepBlue Fans owns 95% of the club. PST currently owns about 47% and the new issue, if it happens, will take that figure back above 50%, not that that is important because the constitution of the club makes 25% with the PST the important figure. Your pathetic attempts to stir up trouble by pretending that people never understood where their grands went or who they went to when in fact it was always quite clear and everyone except you understood it just make you look like a bitter XXXXXX, and changing your name to disguise yourself and come out with the same XXXXXX you did months ago fools nobody.

They may have blocked our access to POL.... But there are plenty of other (mostly empty) fish forums online. Tkae this gem: http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=659378 " 12th July 2012 when we put £1,xxx in me and my other half. We never wanted a dividend or some profit then or even now, but just to go to Fratton and enjoy a game because like most of you we feared our club would die. When we have the money to get over from Italy we will always make sure we get to a game. Ana (that is my partner) looked around from our seats at the Fratton end Pompey Coventry December 2011 and she said, it's not like a Penarol game at home in Montevideo but you fans are pretty noisy and passionate, I like this place! Over dinner a couple weeks ago we were talking with some Inter fans talking about the San Siro, we are so good, we make the stadium rock they said. Ana replied, you and your stadium have absolutely nothing, you want an atmosphere, you want noise and passion? you should go to Portsmouth, even if you Italians can't pronounce it. Porsmoute?? they said. Si more or less. That is a football stadium your stadium is a mortary in comparisson."

Pretty cringe video that. Very insulting to Israel but then we all know what fat english football fans wearing too tight a football top abroad.... we just have to look at the class of english fans in France this summer.... Still, I hoped our club would fly a better flag.
