Given that we have reached agreement with the player and his club there is no reason for not announcing the move - it may also put a little pressure on whoever has to approve the work permit. It, of course and as you rightly say, has absolutely nothing to do with the Brighton result, and any suggestion it does is just Alpine's megalomania getting the better of him.

Looks a really weak bench, I think we need to win this one before it gets to substitution time.

Japan striker Tadanari Lee, who scored the winning goal in last year's Asian Cup final against Australia in Doha, could be joining Southampton after agreeing terms with the Championship side, according to reports in Japan. Saints must now obtain a work permit for the 26-year-old. (Nikkan Sports newspaper)

What the **** is professionality?

Respect to everyone who went along to support them and thanks for the info / report.

4-0 McQueen Nice job lads

Like the article's headline: Cox wants more action

Some of what you say is fair comment. You're quite right we're lucky to have been picked up by an owner with his head screwed on and not a Spiv. I am aware that there but for the grace of God go we. However, part of the reason we we're cherry picked and you weren't is that we own our own stadium, have an exceptional academy and a broad fan base. You lot on the other hand seem still to be in denial. Every time some dodgy geezer trundles along with a truckload of used fivers he's hailed as the next Messiah and obviously not a spiv. When are you going to learn to be a bit less gulible? Who do you honestly believe could possibly regard Portsmouth football club as a good investment?

It saves them writing little notes in green pen.

I can't be bothered to read what you've WRITTEN.

For the First Row Sports one you just need Flash Player, I think, which you probably have anyway.

I thought you didn't believe in uncertain fitness

Only two away games there. I think that'll give us a chance to put one over on some of the chasing pack.

God no, he's so overrated.

To me that looks a good run.

The FL League rules are here: http://www.football-league.co.uk/regulations/20110629/section-3-the-league_2293633_2125717 under Section 12.3 Sporting Sanctions. I can't be arsed to look through them properly, but in skimming them I couldn't find any mention of a 2 strikes in three years and your out rule.

I think the get out clause will be this. When Southampton were docked points because of the parent company's administration this was justified on the basis that the parent company was, basically, just SFC. Pompey's parent company is a real parent company with a number of commercial interests, therefore, there administration won't count and, therefore, they won't be kicked out.

I don't suppose there will be one but, if anybody does stumble across one, I'd be grateful

"I've had a little look at the run we've got coming up, and obviously we want to win every game, but we're all definitely confident going into this game of getting three points." Rickie Lambert Sounds like complacency creeping in to me.

Obviously it's a coincidence

I'm not sure we'd even have to change our tactics much. Guly can do a lot of the things Ricky can in terms of holding the ball up, making a nuisance of himself and getting on the of crosses.

Nice one - thanks.

Given the rate of inflation the value of the principal is falling not increasing, so no, you can't pay anyone's wages using the interest - at least not without further eroding the value of the principal.

Er... no
