It seems to me that there are people out there trying to destabilise the club. Who,it is hard to tell but there seem to be people who wish to undermine the club. I hope it is not true

i recall the bitter sweetness of Saints players being called up. It ruined MLT, he was never the same after Hoddle threw him to the wolves after Englands WC defeat to Italy. The london press tore him to pieces and blamed him, typical Hoddle hid in the background and left MLT to be destroyed. Shearer also left him to be the fall guy. David Armstrong also got the call and was played out of position, and that effected him. BT etc became a big time charlie, and Bridgeys head was turned (although I cant recall fully if he was ay saints when he got his call up)

it did to me, but it was a couple of seconds before the ball came across

Be careful what you wish for. Beattie David Armstrong and MLT were really effected by their little bit of England experience. It can ruin confidence and also the players see the big time charlies with their big pay packets. they in turn can encourage the players to leave. Let them get ther caps when they are at other clubs, not when they can be tapped up when on international duty

Cant understand why windowcleaner and a few of the other doubters are not on this thread. A lot of people do not see his good work off the ball as well as his intelligence on it.

fans knocking JRod and comparing him to RL is not fair. RL is the finished article and probably our most PL quality player. Jrod is still learning, and in a while if the fans back him he will become a very useful CF for us. He is mobile and has good skill, the way he took the ball down in the first half was sublime

not glory hunters nowadays lol

shes from Pompey, so very unclean, not in the nice dirty way though

they have a superb manager, and a nutty chairman.

thank god for that, i wasn't sure who was talking the most sense and also who was the professional journalist

At no time did JRod appeal for a foul.I think intent can still be seen as a foul. Had the player not lunged at him he would not have had to take evasive action.Nobody mentioned about Matas dive. Had the tackle on Ramirez been on a top 4 teams player, it would be the headlines on SSN ,asking for the player to be banned.

Neil Allen seems to be joining Ho and Te other skate who had meltdowns on here. All of a sudden the Gibraltar escapade is now being looked on badly. At the time I thought Aleen was trumpeting the signings of Rodgers etc.

i don't think he dived as in cheating

Great to have a clean sheet but twice he ball came off him into the middle of the goal and luckily it fell to Benteke. Well done Boruc

I get no pleasure from any saints player cheating /diving. I don't thin J rod did either today

Is that a photo taken during a match, its hard to tell

Lol,

if it was that easy every third world country would do so and live the dream aka Pompey. For the masses you have to put it at a level they can understand, and basic household budgetting is the best way. may i also add it seems in our family the central bank is mum and dad!

at the end of the season a point may be vital. Watching Saints for so long that i expect us to slip up and will be begging for a draw come the 90 minute mark

Reading some of these posts got me thinking this thread should be on the Muppet show. Graham Taylor FFS, Atkinson etc Lol Les Reed etc have had to pull our rotten old club into the 21st century. Right from the bottom to the top. Football fans live in the past regarding managers etc. The expectation of fans that from administration get the club competing in 3 years in the top league is farcical. Judge Les Reed etc in 5 years, not in this short time.

Listening to the radio this morning and it seems Hooper is going to Norwich Butland to Fulham. HR knows how to get things done, he is getting Livermore from Spurs and Pallacios ? from Stoke. That will strengthen mdfield, and he knows that tippy tappy midfields will not bring survival.

Heath treated our longtime friends and allies in the Commonwealth disgracefully. those countries are fine now without us,. This was done in the desperate rush to get us into the EU. We have burnt our boats and now have to sit with our European allies. It is galling at times, especially as it is Brussels who have faceless people living the grand life on us whilst dishing out ridiculous laws that effect the normal man in the street.

the day they told you the teams numbers when doing the draw, the excitement of that started to diminish

in the next 15 years there will be more Spanish speaking Americans than English. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that in the next 25years there will be a Spanish speaking president. Will he have the affection of the motherland or will his thoughts be to the South Americans first. Its a changing world and whilst i hate the EU and how they meddle in our life surely it is better to be with a bigger block. There again you have countries like Norway who survive well without being in the EU
