and Keegan walked out on us

Big Ron derserves to on the banner more than Shilts and Keegan

I was surprised at the positive reaction that he got when he came on. I expected a negative from the 'he's just a donkey' fans who cant see his qualities. i misjudged the average neutral fan. When he scored he was so pleased and it was great to an English man showing how pleased he was proud to score for his homeland. After he scored I thought of the guy who stands about 10 rows back in the centre of the Northam who gives him terrible stick about being a' fat lazy #### ' Well there you go RL has shown he is a good player. It was unfortunate that he missed the 2nd chance when the ball bobbled, that will give Hidgson the excuse to say he is not clinical

the security at the airports must be lax if they travelled at gunpoint. I do think the girls were either guillible/greedy/chancers. I suspect they knew what the were doing and fell for the 'we'll get away with it' mistake.

I watched Skysports this morning and they showed a training session. There were all the players passing the ball to their mates and never thinking about RL. The same as when MLT was in the squad, Ince and his mates keeping him as an outsider.

Iam so insular regarding world football and dont know of any of these players that so many are getting excited about. Perhaps it is because I dont play those FIFA football games.

Phil alluded to this a lot of pages back . It went on the lines of something to do with taking legal action about a 3m shortfall that was drawn out just before the takeover. Something on those lines. Phil does talk in rhymes and the same flowery terms as Stuart Hall on 5livesports (not in the Saville way) but is well informed

the thought of a load of Pikey butch women at Fratton Park makes your stomach churn......................................................., as for the poor lady footballers representing England and fans from outside Pompey having to watch their football there seems a tad unfair..

if we take him around Northam he will think he is in parts of London, get the Civic Centre clock to strike and he will think it is Big Ben,

I notice the Aussie did not walk when. It seems it is ok to do the right thing and walk when it is an obvious edge , but the time when it would really help the umpires they stand and wait for a decision

I can't remember what he said either. I do recall at the final whistle of the relegation day he went straight down the tunnel

Very one footed,not PL. standard IMO

superb lol

How quick is it to cook a hedgehog and get it to the seat?

Not unique but there more affinity

i was also at Wembley, but that moment in 84 where the adulation and adrenaline was rushing,it still makes the hairs on my neck stand up when I see it. On the box

In your opinion he is an average L2 player. I have seen him play a few times and he was the best player on the pitch. He is also not a L2 player and was a Championship player until recently,and player of the season. His age is against him. Do you think that a foreign player cares for English clubs or more importantly the money?

Never! I will withdraw my wish for him then, I thought he was in his mis 20s

What's your problem? It is my personal feeling, if you feel attached to multi million overseas journeymen as your team,that's fine. I personally like to watch an English team with their team ethic. I'm not sure we will get players who have any attachment. saints apart from the paycheque. If you don't rate Baker that is also fine, I have seen many face palms in the past when players were signed from the lower leagues to many clubs, a big price tag does not mean a good player.

oops yep L1 I agree that there could be doubt but I have seen many players make the grade from the lower leagues. In fact quite a lot of our present squad

I'm quite uneasy about us buying £20m players. I was pretty chuffed having a team of mainly English players. That is the way I was brought up watching Saints and happy if it stayed that way. A player I would like to sign is Coventrys Carl Baker, he is a real winner and the mould of a traditional British midfielder.Yep he is in L2 but he is better than that.

I was listening to the radio last night and Damiaio was mentioned. It seems he has more agents than Mossad, and more owners than Pompey

Everton 84

Interesting piece. How the reporters etc just brushed over how Ambram got his money, as long as football got some they were happy
