8pm on a Monday - who makes these decisions?!

Chelsea won the league often playing without any strikers... we can do the same with out any defenders

He's in the squad for China, Hughes will get a proper look at him then and he'll get a chance to show what he can do.

Think he's off to Turkey?

Ridiculous, asinine comment. Same as comparing Thomas Mueller to a Nazi. Idiot.

£18m for Townsend :lol:

At last, a VvD replacement!

25, Mexican international, missed their World Cup squad with a hamstring injury. On a free - can't really go wrong.

Reminds me more of Mané from that highlights reel! Looks very exciting, let's hope we can get this one over the line.

Even if you look past the false nature of that statement... how f*cking pathetic is it that an MP is making petty Portsmouth/Southampton jibes in a parliamentary debate

Bye bye Tadic then. What number will Armstrong wear?

Nice of them to point out that Portsmouth Community Football Club has never been represented at a World Cup.

Any idea when tickets usually go on sale for the first game?

I thought host stadiums had to have minimum 40k seats? A quick wiki search tells me that there's 16 stadiums currently above 40k but that includes 5 in London - not sure we'd be allowed more than one in London and that would be Wembley (assuming it's still a football stadium by then!). Either way, I'd be well up for an England/UK-based World Cup. Rake in that EU visa money!

Win the World Cup, claim him as our own, stick him on the banner. Job done.

Can't believe Young got in ahead of him, looked terrible against Nigeria.

BBC are streaming their matches in 4K : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-44308154

New LED boards = scoreboards? Or advertising boards?

Reverse image search gives this exact image (https://plus.google.com/photos/116192785064475852940/albums/profile/6389130174953280498?iso=false) from some bloke on Google+ from 20th February 2017. I realise that it's incredibly sad that I can even be bothered to do find this, but in my defence it's almost time to go home and we're currently doing some very dull testing at work.

Thought he looked great when he came on against City. He had some good games earlier in the season when he'd been told to get forward more (especially vs Watford). I'm still a fan of his but there's no space for passengers, he needs to prove his worth or get used to the bench.

A la Lovren?

I wish there was a way they could both lose. Either way, should be a very entertaining game. Think Madrid will win it.

Mighty Pompey opening the warchest with the free signing of Ronan Curtis from Derry City, who finished fourth in the mighty Airtricity League. His Instagram is interesting, particularly as you scroll further down... looks made for Portsmouth tbh, he'll fit right in.

Everton need a new AM... don't know why they didn't buy any last season!

He's not perfect. But an upgrade is well out of our budget. I hope he has a good World Cup, he's Serbia's best player and they are very much built around him, if he can have a good tournament then he may bring some extra confidence back to Southampton with him.
