The Newcastle game where we look to be certain for relegation 1-0 down with a few minutes to go. For the only time I have ever heard an announcer came on and stated 'will the fans in the Archers sit down' the Archers in their defiance stood up and started to sing, it I seemed to energise the whole stadium and Newcastle just froze. Neil Heaney scored an equaliser, and my brother got up and walked out saying 'too little ,too late' before we scored another couple to win. Pas for SMS I thnk it has a fantastic atmosphere, when the games are big or important t enough. The Norwich game in our relegation season was special. as we get older I'm sure our memories become fonder, but the Dell before the seating on the terraces could be an awesome place

Lol

hey Mack, is it true you sent off for a Pompey mug and got back a picture of yourself?

44 labour MPs (?) and Milliband will be praying and rubbing their lucky charms tonight. 5m voters from Scotland dictating to 58m in England what is itall coming to .

apparently Salmond admires the English. He has mangaged to hide that for decades! he says it's going to be a fairer society up there, communist state on our border alert lol

his defence of Gaddifi was great wasn't it? Reading how Gaddafi treated some of his people was appalling,

We used to walk up from Shirley first thing on a Saturday morning and would be one of the first in the queue in Archers road. Normally we would be there around 10-10.30 One of the main stewards (present time)at the club was one of our group. we would stand and wait until the gates open and then get to the front of the terrace. The smell of cigarette smoke and the swaying of the crowd still stays with me now. When the crowd swayed forward you would be pressed against the front wall and try and get your breath until the fans moved back into their place, within seconds another sway happened and again we were pressed up against that wall. Health and safety would do their nuts in nowadays. The home game against Man U when we had a record crowd still is strong in my mind. The crush!!! Standing so close you could hear the players chat and as others had said you could smell them! I shudder now how we heard Hughie Fishers leg break when Bob Wilson slid out and did him. Lots of memories but never the same when we had seating in the Archers and Milton etc

Heard some interesting stuff from backroom....well i thought so.Staff thought AL is likely to be very injury prone and so best to sell him. Lovren although a decent player, not best attitude in dressing room. Very sad that the club lost Chambers though

did they think the money would go to the football club?????? 1.6 m wouldnt go far anyway, most of the budget would go on shovels to clean the pitches of the dog####

ok BP thanks.

steve Moran and Mark Wright were accused of rape in Sweden IIRC

I just saw on Meridian that Pompey. May be granted City of Football. What does that mean? Does that only get offered to L2 clubs

and i think he did all that without Kinnear. It seems to me as soon as his circus turned up with Wise things went

I dont get this family club nonsense. It still is a business,

I suspect the people with nothing to lose will vote yes.

I predict that the. No will win by a decent margin. When the push comes To the shove it will be hard to vote for the unknown

Correct. I don't anyone has said that it was the Saints forum that won it.

Logic tells me that Pistorious knew it was her in the bathroom. If I get up in the night I know if my wife is in bed, if I think there's an intruder I get my wife to go and check lol. The time he went around the bed to get his gun he surely would have known if the bed was empty. i also feel that the people who run athletics made the statement that he would not be barred from competing was done in unhealthy haste.

true, Morgan would not be wearing our shirt had the fans sat back and left it to the board. JRod would also have gone

Morgan has done himself a big favour or the club stopping him leaving, as by adding goals to his game he will become a target for bigger clubs than Spurs. Jan will be another uncertain time for us a clubs circle for our players.

I don't think Pelle is better than RL, but is a different option. I'm pleased it is coming right quickly for him, the idiots who wrote him off after a game or so need a word The Long deflection was a handball.

not a peep about it in MoTD etc, but when Spurs do it !!!

I think Pardew did well for us, and was gracious about us. He doesn't seem to choose which players the club buys and so is hamstrung

Frannie looks shot, poor sod. I hope the people of Southampton do come out and welcome him.He was not favourite Saoints player but he really deserves full credit for what he has done

I notice more and more English people i speak too are getting pretty cheesed how we are bowing and scraping. i wonder if the Scots have done themselves a bit of harm how they are perceived now? Surely the rules should be the same all over the UK
