I dont think so, I recall him doing an interview just after he signed the 5 year deal and a slip of the tongue him saying about 2 years. He was always going to go, it is just the way he went, especially after we had supported him through injury. The big contract was to screw more for him when we sold.

VVD tried to rewrite history when he said in an interview that he gave his all for Saints after his transfer request. The way Liverpool went about it was pretty disgraceful and if Saints did it I wouldnt be proud. I just believe their arrogance that they just had to call Reed and a dealwould happen as in the multi times in the past made them think they were doingno wrong. I had hoped he would win nothing but I suspect now he will win a CLwinners medal and can justify his own actions. It is sadthat it worked for him, wheras Mane I have no gripe with.

How about Ivor Toney from Peterboro, looks paceyand strong as a centre forward. Scored quite a few goals aswell.

Im delighted that Nathan has received the players and fans award. Perhaps some can go back on the Nathan threads and perhaps see what nonsense they spouted about him. I will accept apologies from those who scoffed at me saying that he was a top player in the making.

RIP always a decent poster on here. Is his real name going to be made public?

Got to say that your podcasts have been very enjoyable. Top stuff

Interesting, surprised Pompey are so high on the list, still behind us mind but I assume most of their points were when Pathe news were still doing the filming

Im pleased to say I saw both, but perhaps envious that I have eaten up 43 since and might like to be 20years younger!!

Are you saying it wasnt Pink???

Demographics the same, yep a seaside retirement town and a port city, just the same. I never have any animosity toward Aunty Bournemouth and wish them well. Whilst I would prefer to beat you as I have a few Cherry friends who have all of a sudden got full of themselves, it doesn't wind me up as we all know they are insignificant. In time you may well become a bigger club but it will take quite some time. If the Russian gets bored or EH leaves then the problems may well start. You know that really and you really do need to finish above us

Thanks for reminding me, I know it should be first thing on my mind today. 'Its Ours' the best headline I can remember in the Pink football echo. So many memories. One of the best seeing the Southampton Manchester supporters club coach coming into the services and then driving straight back out as they saw a few coaches of Saints fans waiting for them to stop lol

I would add that I like JWP and cant see why you are always comparing the 2, when they are both in different parts of the set up of the team. The proof in the pudding will be when there is a bidding war for JWP. Hopefully that wont happen as it would be good if he develops with us.

My god you are a total fool.0 end product what stupid thing to say, Saturday it was his sublime flick that set up the first goal

Personally I would prefer them not to reach the final. A defeat in the 2 leg game will do. Im just going to aksmy Pompey mate what the date of our fixture with next season is, as he assured me we were playing them next season

Yep, I worry as most as most but the over the top comments as though we have got safe by the skin of our teeth is madness. Obviously you can never take football for granted but for both Cardiff and Brighton to overtake us before today !!!!

I dont get the phew's and well done fulham. It would have taken some weird results for us to go down. We were safe after the Watford game or even before that. I suggest we wont be letting lots of late goals next season

I would have thought the scout at Brentford would have been a decent choice as they do seem to find some decent young players

I totally understand what you say there Vienna and is spot on. Please excuse the lack of class of other posters who couldn't write a paragraph in a second language. Good to get more insight from your perspective

49k pw!! Thats the madness of football

that's a bit harsh Steve. Last ditch defending is not always due to them being out of position, but perhaps due to others not doing their job or a brilliant piece of play. I think Leicesters back 2 pairing when they won the PL were of similar ilk. Yes its nice to have silky centre backs but sometimes its reassuring to see a centre back hump the ball and forward into the stands

Pompey are obviously a good side at the level. Sunderland are as flaky as hell and so I fully expect a Pompey victory up there.

Ok but you know what I meant, it was correct to bring him on

Its interesting that some say we should have been 2 or 3 up when it is patently clear Watford should have equalised a few minutes later, their fans would no doubt say that if they had of scored then they would have won. I notice there is criticism of Simms on for Long, if RH hadnt done that which seems to me perfectly correct he would have moans whyt he hadnt. A great point and basically if we get a point from the 3 games Cardiff have to win all 3. I agree they will probably win 2 (Fulham and Palace( im not sure they will get 3

Yep. Best not start this as there was a bit of bile going around the last time someone posted about him. Personally I think he's great but there are some bitter people out there who need to have a pop

Palace will do what Pompey did for WBA roll over for their rivals to go down. Palace will like to send brighton down
