Swindons 5man midfield out ran and out passed our 4 men. They pressed and were composed and always had the threat of their forward , who took his chance beautifully. Their keeper made a wonderful save to keep out Thomas's header and had we scored they would have ot have opened up more. A draw would have been fair although we did a bit more. To read Westons summary criticism of KD is unfair. Their keeper spilt a lot more shots than he did and was never at fault with their goal. I do think the haste we try to get the ball up to Lambert does make his kicking skew. I cant see the point anyway as Lambert wins little against the defences in the air.

It is a superstition now BTF, a bit like not mentioning Macbeth if you are an actor. Just watch the bad news stories come out of Pompey now

Im not sure if I like that one Foxy, what has happened to the respect all of a sudden? I now can see I have been lax in my disipline,50 press ups for you as punishment. Dont come back until you have done them. My wife called to me last night 'Nick there is a Chinese lantern in the sky' I went and had a look and replied ' No my dear It is Foxy doing some shooting practice, that is a football'

And I thought I had Barry Ferguson on the bench waiting to come on!!! As for Andy P chatting up the spectators, the Flying Finn looking well cheesed off as Granty had just told him that he was in his side next season....and SaintsMadSi.....what can I say

Well done mike, the rest of your team had better do the same as they will have to run that extra distance due to your misplaced passes

I doubt he'd be quite so obvious, but....

Who did the digging Clouseau? Nice to see your return, you haven't been on gardening leave by any chance?

Oh FFS somebody who works in the trade is saying that!!!! How can I go against Clapham who I know is experienced about these things.All I need is Bucks saint to wade in and say the same and Im in a quandery. Pompey will get out of it.

'fans if they can (he's a great believer that fans should be able to invest).' I bet he will want them to. Personally I would be cautious if I was them. Very few would contact the fans first.

Just saw a bit on south today about the LLoyd meeting. Ooh , then a few words from his bid advisor. He hasn't put the 3m down yet but to be fair he has travelled down to have the meeting and so he must be interested.

Portsmouth City have won 1 trophy Southampton football club have won 1 trophy. AFCP will have won nothing. The FA cup game was an oditty to me, it didnt feel like our despised rivals were at the ground.It was a hollow feeling and I was surprised how little heart Pompey had on the day, except for O'hara who made the difference. Had we scored first you would have folded and Yes we did let in 4 ,but we were the only side on the day who really went for it and fell for the sucker punches. Anyway this is not about the cup it is about Pompeys takeover, are you worried that these new people are Lynhams/Fialkas or are they proper? Ps i got your jest re gold.

I promise you I felt noi hurt , and even on the day I went back of into the corporate areas and enjoyed the rest of the day.

Stevo, you at least have the guts to admit you are wrong, top man

Well Iam amazed that people wanting to buy the club talk to the fans first and not as most business deals are done, get it bought then the talk to fans. Reading what they expect will put the buyers off, afterall you thought (the fans ) that you could afford Requilme etc. It doesn't add up

Iam surprised nobody has picked up on him saying about player purchasing.It seems to me that AP is not the only 1 who decides who is bought. The way NC put it across was osund IMO as he said 'if a manager leaves, we are left with his palyers' wheras if the club have a plan they can carry on building and not having to start again as the manager has moved. IMO he is what we need and perhaps a bit of a dictator, but one vision that will with determination get us back to the higher leagues

Reading all that will give him a headache and rib ache at the same time due to laughing and tension!!!

I had worried you had been heading the ball a bit too much recently for you to have made your first assessment. I agree let's hope Seabourne gets a bit of knowledge from Jaidi as I doubt he will be such a player next season.

I think most Pompey fans were too embarrassed at the club going to a L1 club get outplayed and only looking for a break away goal. Derby defeats (not that I have seen many over the years) hurt, not that one. Anyway you yet again got a taste of the lucky brush by having these new people in...............but I threw my hands up in despair when the first Sheik arrived, anybody heard where he is...still in Russia?

well you ought to get him to have a look at Pompeys finances and dealings

Just to temper it a bit, i think you will find that some of the tickets were linked to geting 1 for the Pompey game, and so that would be a factor.

Sniffing glue by any chance?

I agree and something does not add up, if he was there before admin why not get in then to stop the -9.The rewards would be much higher if they stayed up, and as there is no roof to the funding whats a mere 85m Lol

Andy thank god you are playing and not managing in the forum game! Lol, if you believe that Fonti is only half the player Jaidi is. It is my belief that they compliment each other very well and so Jaidi is more confident that the more agile Fonte is there to cover. It is a pairing and that is the strength. Look at Claus without Killer, not a fraction of the player.Both did well yesterday. I posted Fonte Motm but it was a toss up between the 2 and the overriding thing that made me take that decision was in the 2nd half when the ball went over Fonte and he hooked the ball over his head to snuff out the onrushing Leeds playerfs attempts to sneak a chance.

If people are prepared to pay a 3m non returnable deposit they are serious. There can be no doubt about that. To me I cant understand why anyone would buy them but as you well know I think they will get out of it.
