he did so when he had little option due to his favourites being injured.

You could hear hi from the sidelines speaking English. If he did an interview in English it means nothing, all the fans want to hear is how fantastic they are etc etc

fair comment but I think the lure of a massive club and wages that go with it will be too much. Add to the media circus that unsettles the rest of the squad and it may be best for all.

It is naive to believe that Shaw will be here this time next season. I would love it if he stayed but 30million or thereabouts is still a massive amount of money. I read elsewhere on here that he and his family want him to go to Man U. With a bit of luck Real Madrid / Man City etc also come in for him and a bidding war starts up. As long as the majority of the money is used in keeping the rest of the team together then the loss will be worthwhile. He is the least of my concerns of our better players leaving, replacing AL ,to a degree JRod Mprgan or Lovren would be very difficult

I still believe that Hodgson will take the safe route and pick players from the top 4 before RL or JRod. The last game will tell you as he played Ashley Cole who cant even make the first team at Chelsea. RL deserves to be there, the fans of other clubs relate to him and know pulling the England shirt means everything to him unlike a lot of the other big time charlies. i do hope Im wrong but when you have goons from our own fanbase saying hes no good how can we expect Hodgson to select him

To my mind it is the scenario where the pilot gave the Malaysian gov the ultimatum about releasing his friend or he would crash the aircraft. They said no and so goodnight nurse, Malaysia and allies have played the wild goose chase and know that the black box will not be found. Anyway that's my conspiracy theory and feel it is not that unrealistic

And we complained about Schmichael lol that'll teach us

Only when he scores do a lot of fans recognise what he brings to our team. I get tired of reading the morons who think he is finished or lazy or too old etc. He is the player who we will miss most when he leaves this team. as for AL, I keep saying he needs to improve his shooting power,well today he answered that with a superb strike

I dont understand, I though RL was finished

What a day 10k saints fans celebrating, you young ones who missed this day I am sorry for. Without a doubt the most memorable moments in my supporting life.Even better than 76.

The person on the phone must have misheard Pompey never pay 20% of anything it would have been 2% lol

Ohara is a decent player and he was the only one who shone when we played them in the Cup. He would make a massive difference to them.If they have to contribute 10k for 6 weeks that is nothing compared to the loss of going down.

The emergency loan window closes tomorrow at 5. They are looking to strengthen up front. It is going to be hard to. Do that as well as a manager. I assume Awford will be caretaker. He will do enough to keep them up

sounds like Appleton will fit the bill

he's a good lad, he played cricket for us a few times with his dad and uncle, also a Jason...all characters but sadly Liverpool fans

i notice on the message board they are thinking of ways to avoid compensation, not like Pompey to do that

our position,squad size etc etc

I dont think he will, and circumstances will be the master of it

Pompey are without a doubt the strongest club in the south, to hold 89 clubs up above them must take real muscle

Im not sure WHU are a bigger club, if so by not a lot. they certainly have a bigger wage bill and debt. Spurs Newcastle and Everton would be a lot bigger than both teams and then the top 4 bigger again

please point me to the direction of my moans about this site? i have recently found your constant need to be the headline writer on here tiresome as well as your anti club agenda. This thread like a others you have started are not relevant to Saints but you post them on the main board. i am happy for the Everton debate to be had on the general sports page because thats where it should be. To say that it is relevant on here due to us playing them soon is a nonsense. I do accept you have toned your obvious trolling down recently and long may that be the case

you are kidding ?

if the story about the malaysian government not willing to negotiate with the pilot is true, that could be why there was a wild goose chase for 10 days, in fact it may have been very inconvenient for them that the british company has managed to pinpoint where the plane may be. I doubt the black box will ever get found in condition to give any evidence. can you imagine the international outcry if the malaysians did allow the plane to crash?

what happened to the forensic examination of Pompeys accounts? it seems to have been brushed under the carpet. If barker said 'you've been relegated before' then he is expecting the same again. Skin of their teeth time,as somebody put earlier it does come to something when they have to celebrate northampton letting in a late goal.

As I posted at the start of this thread why is this on the main board ? Are we going to have a thread about a teams manager every time we are about to play them? I assume there will be one about Pardew,at least it could be loosely about Saints
