i agree with you Mero, there are many guesses but as your. New transparent era is here it is a surprise that the figure are hard to find. If I had pledged money in the expectancy of a new transparent regime it would have been good to see the figures

that should give you a nice surplus then. I assume a large part of that will go and pay the charities etc

i wasn't at the game but watched the extended highlights on Sky. Some of RL play was sublime and still fans do not see his finer points

That was a proper haircut lol

I recall Shankly saying that he would never sign a player who was brought up with central heating in the house,as they were soft. What he would say about players with ponytails ! I can't recall many players who made the grade in England with one. Andy Carroll is one ,any others?

Players with a bloody ponytail, what next?

Not a full house then.4000 paying customers on the day,that will bring in how much.80k? I can't remember how much the break even level is, I think a bit more than 14k

I like to read the match thread before reading this thread. It is amusing . Anyway great result

pretty sad that even Radio Solent have jumped on the bandwagon. Why knock small clubs whose fans are loyal to their club? BBC Radio should be ashamed of themselves

do we know how old the originator of the blog is? It is school holidays

he will fit right in,most of the past owners are also in the same position

it was a galling when the commentator said @unfashionable Southampton' but i suppose it is true. never mind in a few years you never know

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
