Scummer

This. I think I took my son to his first match when he was 2 (Ajax friendly a couple of years back). He's 4 now. He came to a few games last season, and has probably been to 6-8 home matches this year. I have to admit that if it wasn't for the free under 8 season ticket I wouldn't bother. He doesn't pay that much attention some of the time, and as others have said he needs to be fed constantly to keep him busy. He enjoys it though. I always give him the choice of whether to come or not, and sometimes he says he doesn't want to. We sit in the Chapel, and if people get annoyed with young kids being in there then they shouldn't be sitting in the family stand.

How big are sponsors allowed to be on the kit? Got a feeling that swoopy bit on the aap3 logo will limit the size of font they can use.

Going to Fontwell on Friday. Is it any good, never been before? Been to Goodwood a few times.

I think historically we've scored more goals at the Chapel End. We also score more in the second half, when that's the way we tend to be kicking. So it may be the end of the pitch, or it may be the stage of the game.

I thought that was Bridge when he scored against them for Chelsea.

Doesn't Pat have some kind of vested interest here? He's a goalkeeping coach isn't he, is Green one of his students?

I've got this song stuck in my head now.

Yep, if any of those things don't happen it's game over.

It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday.

They have scheduled a full Premier league programme for the same day as the FA Cup Final, I wouldn't be surprised by anything any more.

So you'd get 10 pints for your £40. Think I'll give it a miss.

Or you could look at a more recent game (how about Bournemouth away for example? Or Swindon.) where we let a goal in but still went on to win.

I see Forecast has been back on the bench for the last couple of games. What happened to the keeper from Arsenal who we brought in on loan? He was sub against Swindon. Do the management not like the look of him, in which case has he gone back?

There is a gulf between our home and away form, but it doesn't seem to be the way you think it is. We have the second best away record in the league (1 point behind Brighton). We are 8th in the home league table.

We've scored 4 in a match 6 times under him for a start. In fact I think he maybe suffers as a result of that, as people clearly have started to expect that sort of performance every week.

It would be a failure, but you seem to blame Adkins for that when in reality it was wasting the first 6 weeks of the season that is costing us. We have been very consistent since then, and have had promotion standard levels of form pretty much since Nigel arrived at Saints.

I saw the Monkees in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire in the Summer of 2006.

She probably put it on a table.

He'll only see action if Kelvin gets injured. Hardly likely to drop our keeper for someone who's only here for a month.

Yes it's a very flat course (there are no hills in Portsmouth), but as you say the last couple of miles are along the seafront and the wind is normally blowing in from the southwest so you are running straight into it. It's not what you want when you are already starting to feel quite knackered. I've done it a few times, but not for a couple of years. I'm tempted to give it a go this year actually, I could do with trying to get a bit fitter. It does help when the start line is only about half a mile from your front door.

I thought this thread was about Javi. He loves Le Tissier as well.

I see Jimmy Bullard has gone to Ipswich. Presumably this frees up Norris to move to Pompey, so they can spend some more money that they don't have.

Brighton went 5 games without a win recently. If that was to happen again it would be game on.

According the today's Portsmouth News a league 1 club has made a bid for one of the two players Pompey are trying offload, Brown and Hughes. Wouldn't be surprised if we were trying to bring Hughes in.

Hopefully we'll avoid the need for the play offs, but it's just been announced that the League 1 and 2 play off finals will take place at Old Trafford this year. I think it's because the Champions League final is at Wembley and the dates clash.
