He was also ahead of his time in running a football club at break-even point (as we had to as we were a plc) when all the mongs in the Northam were yelling at him to invest (i.e spend money the club didn't have... or cheating as we call it when Pompey do it...) Staying in the PL for as long as we did, with more and more clubs coming up with rich sugar daddies was no mean feat. Also add to that re-establishment of the Academy and the building of a new stadium for the the incredibly cheap price of about £30m... I love how many fans can just say "Lowe was crap" without coming close to realising that the changes Lowe made to the club to drag it from the archaic state it was in was precisely the reason why it proved attractive to Liebherr and Cortese.

I think you find you need nothing more than this... http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/nathaniel-clyne/id493073550?mt=8

Stone overweight. Awful in Preseason. No surprise.

If you seen any pre season games then you would have seen a very overweight and slow Lambert so no surprise he's on the bench.

You should write a dossier and mail it to the club.

I've heard there's some athletics thing going in in London too.

*played above L1/L2 level

I think we might be getting a bit carried away with SRL. Undoubtedly the single biggest reason we have got back to back promotions, but.... Now over 30 Before last season had never played at L1/L2 level In pre-season he looks woefully over weight and slow I think him pulling a Holt maybe a pipe dream. With Sharp on fire in pre-season, us spending over £6m on Jay Rod and Lee looking as if could be a decent player I think this season may be the one the unthinkable happens, Lambert gets dropped from the starting lineup.

Dickson seems to be more concerned in his efforts to get selected for the Malaysian national team.

Do people really voluntarily drink real ale?

Lambo's not missed many meals this summer.

That's Northam tho? MLT is in the Kingsland.

The first few then when the novelty wares off by Winter anyone who wants a ticket will be able to get one. Do you know how many Loyalty Points you get for listening to games on the radio in your underpants Alps?

Would be nice if it happened, but in reality he is a bloke in his 30s who, before last season, had never played above L1 in his career. I think it is far more likely that, with Jay-Rod, Lee, Sharp and possibly Lens in the team, that he will be sitting on the bench pretty soon.

No, that was his brother Justin.

The Palace site is abysmal.

Why does he insist on continuing to peddle that spread bet story lie? It was complete rubbish made up in the hope of getting some press attention to help publicise his book. I would imagine he had heart failure when he heard the Police were getting involved. Bookies didn't take spread bets on games at that time which weren't televised and the game concerned was on a bank holiday Monday and not on tv.

The piece on the o/s only mentions 2 kits, i.e. no 3rd strip. Surely we can't just have a red shirt and a white shirt as our two kits as we wouldn't be allowed to wear either against Stoke, Sunderland, possibly Arsenal, etc. If we are only having two kits then won't the away kit have to be one that no one else plays in at home, eg black?

That's the spirit Alps. (tho in fairness all kits look the same on the radio) I'm eagerly waiting your annual wailing thread about us not signing any CBs yet. It can't be long now can it? Keep Smiling!

I guess if we signed Butland he would be happy to play 2nd fiddle to Davis for a short time. Tho, in reality it would only take until Davis makes his first howler of the season for this place to be full of 'play Butland' threads. Green for me. Younger and better than Davis and a proven PL and international performer. Would be a great signing for us.

If our home kit is red and white and our away kit white and red I think there's more than a slight chance of this..... Wasnt the yellow away kit going to be our 3rd kit?

Saints are red and white, but not always in stripes.

On his way here according to The Sun.
