Just as well they were playing Arsenal tonight; anything less than one of the 'Big Four' and the ground would have been half empty and there wouldn't have been anything 'ringing round FP' except tumble weed.

He had a hand in it, like the secretary who licked the envelope and stuck a stamp on, had a hand in it. But really SCC sorted it out after Lowe screwed up Stoneham.

Before the Blue Few get in there and start re-writing history as they have a habit of doing; lets get one thing absolutely clear..... They may be going bust ultimately because of very bad management, possibly fraudulent investing etc, but if their support was as good as ours they would have more money in the bank, and more importantly, be a better rescue prospect for potential investors. Crowds of little more than 12000 FULL PAYING fans on occasions is pathetic for a top flight club. I've got ever sympathy with any towns club going bust but it's hard to care about Portsmyth going under when their own town doesn't seem to care.

It's called money laundering.

Yes getting to the play offs this season was always going to be a big ask. There is a lot of work to be done with this squad yet, and hopefully a few new faces, before we are real contenders. Without the ten points deduction we would still only be scratching around the edges of the play off zone. And as I pointed out on another thread, we only have 2 victories* against teams in the top half of the league!! *As of this morning.

I believe we have have only won twice against teams in the top half of the table. Our squad is strong in some areas but needs strengthening, particularly at the back.

"A Christmas Message from the Chairmen". Who does he think he is, the fvrkin Queen? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he turned up with Marcus; but some people need to take a reality check with their hero worship. Idiotic macho spat with the Echo, social cleansing of block 4, and ticket price increases (when it would be easier to offer the Box office staff a bit of over-time and keep it open from 8am until 7pm to ease congestion on match days) all point to a chairmen with room for improvement.

Sorry fella, but your arguments are a load of toss. For any organisation that relies so heavly on on the media to go banning a harmless local rag for a compleatly inconsequential reason is making themselves look silly and a little too precious. Rather like you. No offence.

This is a bullsh1t excuse to raise ticket prices. How about dropping ticket prices for those that buy early on-line instead?

A late equaliser, a penalty shoot out win, AND a Saint on Saint scrap. Tickets cheep at twice the price.

Did he mention regretting being an arse over banning the Echo?

Damn right, very unfair. Wembley, Wembley, we're the famous Southampton and we're going to Wembley

Cheers UW, I never wanted to go to MK Dons out of principle, but in the words of the late great Groucho Marx, "those are my principles, and if you don't like them.... well I have others"

I've missed a meeting. Who do we play in the area final?

I've read all your drivel

Spot on and worth repeating.

Portsmyth, obviously, mostly for constantly telling porkies Spurs, for being arrogant with feck all to be arrogant about, and for having fans that all come from Hertfordshire and not Tottenham Chelsea, because their fans, including the women, drop the natural pitch of their voices by an octave of two when chanting 'Chelsea' (I think it's suppose to be intimidating, it ain't) MK Dons for farting in the face tradition and honesty Newcastle for believing they have the worlds most passionate fans, Blackburn/Bolton for being boring and pointless Everton, Man U, Leeds, just because.

If Nicola Cortese feels it's an appropriate reaction to ban the local newspaper for reporting a story that was already well out there in the public domain he is, at best, guilty of poor judgement, and at worse, displaying the sort of boorish arrogance once associated with a certain Rupert Lowe.

I don't like any organisation banning the any element of the press. Least of all Saints. It's crass, churlish, and ultimately dangerous.

It's worth someone who is registered with Portsmyth online, pointing this out to the blue few.

It is worth pointing out that Norwich average ticket price is a lot lot less than ours, and have been for years.

I'm very gratefull to Marcus for his investment in Saints, but I don't go in for this hero worship particularly of chairmen. A heartfelt thanks Marcus, but please stay in your seat.

Anything north of A34/M3 junction near Winchester is 'North' and thus grim

Miserable bastard. Pardew out.

I was on the other side of the ground from the female linesman was she fit? (looks wise)
