Why am I a fruitcake? What is wrong with putting my cards on the table, but being more direct than everyone else. We haven't kicked a ball yet and were already relegated, so why not just miss out on all the ups and downs, the false dawns. We wanted to be in the Prem, we are here, but we've all changed our minds haven't we? Why fight to stay here, where we don't belong. Back to the comfort of the lower leagues I say. I don't wnat to wait for us to build a team, I want success NOW. We aint going to get it here, so lets just drop back to where we desrve to be. I have no mental problem. It's the rest of the residents of the bubble.

I can't wait. Lets get this season over and get back to the Championship. More chances of winnig games, and coming top of the league this time, with £6 million + of a parachute payment, and a team to beat any in the second tier of English football. Yes, let's not even bother this season. Go to the bottom of the Premiership and lets stay there, then next season we can really let rip into some teams. Lots of 4 and 5 - nils for us next season. We don't belong here in the Prem, teams too lightweight, Manager has no experience in top flight, press don't think we can do it, and we have failed in the transfer market. Even our best players as past it. No, we don't belong here. We are just the pretenders of the Premiership. It'll be great to be back in the Championship. I can't wait for it. I wish we were already relegated.

We've been linked with ALL players, it's bound to be right sometimes

The streets of heaven are full of Angels, and one I believe has always been looking down on us, with a grin at the legacy he left. I believe that a Legend is when the man survives his death as his name lives on. As long as we have Marcus alongside Saints in our hearts, he will always live, in every success we have had, in the games we play, in the players, and in the fact we now have a team. People berated me for wanting a statue of him. I'll say it again. A statue of him, Smile in Hand, Saints Scarf around his neck, and Camera in hand.

Trouble is, people seem to forget that these are pre-season games and not ones we are going out to win, but to test the team, tactics, formation, individuals ont he fringe and experiment, plus as a training tool. That is why i give a 'meh' to us winning, losing or drawing these games, as if we were going out to win, we would have the difinitive first 11, not make so many substitutes AND give the team an incentive to win, like for every goal they score, they get a mars bar, For every game they win their wives/girlfriends will be released unharmed and for every goal scored against us, a little kitten dies.

Not forgetting that it is a waste of money to develop an acadamy when we can buy what we want for top dolla.

I have an old gold ring, it's a buckle ring and is about 120 years old. It belonged to my mother. My friend has a painting of a horse fair by Leo Whelan. My Aunt has a full collection of fine Bone China tableware with Silver cutlery. They are all worth money. Lots of money. And they all belonged to a parent that died. And we wouldn't sell for the world. I know that a football club, especially one recently purchased, is probably something different. But just because they are in business, doesn't mean they are heartless bastards just out to make a quick buck. Fulfilling the dream of a deceased parent for what must be a minor outlay for them, and the fact that they don't have to pump **** loads of money into the team, perhaps means more to his wife and children than another diamond encrusted backscratcher, © C.Montgomery Burns.

I had one about three weeks ago and for the entertainment of my daughter, I pretended to be deaf and daft. Him: Hello, my name is David. Me: Sorry, no David here. Him: No my name is David. Me: Whats that about DVD's Him: NO, my name is David. Me: (this is for those born in the 70's) And I'm Ian. And I wanna go straight, I wanna go straight, I'm sick and tired of taking up drugs and staying up late. Hahahaha, come on David, sing with me. Hello? Hello? Him: Who is your current energy provider? Me: Currency provider? I ususally go to the post office and change it there, but I haven't had a holiday in years. Him: Do you have any pets. Me: Pests? No no pests here. I had some ants once, but I think they came in from outside. Him: Can i interest you in any offers? Me: Offices? Why would I want to buy any offices. I can bearly avoid my mortgage as it is. Him: Who do you bank with? Me: Johnny Dankworth? Wasn't he married to Cleo Lane. Him: No, whose you bank. Me: Oh, sorry. Hows my back? Not too bad considering, still get a bit of a twinge.

Mine is Orange Broadband. I was originally with Tiskali, then Wanadoo, then Orange bought them out. First the broadband was slow, them stopped working. Rung and rung the Indian call centre and told no problem on the line. TGalked to BT and there was an issue, which BT sorted. Then had BBand for 6 weeks at 0.5 meg, then nothing. Samething with Indian call centre, reading from the script. Then asked for supervisors etc. NOTHING. Found a site with number for UK call centre, finally got to talk to someone with some sense, but no joy. BUT got back two month fees. Then told the problem may be the router, so sent a new router. Nothing Moaned again and got another month back. Got through to an escalation team, told me they were sending a better router, but had to upgrade my service. Sent me the paperwork, and I changed it to read, ' If Orange are unable to give uninterupted broadband service for 7 days, then this contract is null and void. Paid 11 quid tol get it notorised by Solicitor, and sent it of. Got new router, worked for free days, then nothing. Phoned up to cancel, told I couldn't, told them i could, told me I was signed up for 18 months, told them the contract I sent back was that it was on the basis of 7 days uninterupted. Told me I couldn't change it, told them I could, the woman really argued with me, and I asked to speak to a supervisor, which she said I couldn't. I asked for her name, and she said they weren't allowed to give it out, and if I didn't pay, she would county court me. So I hung up, redialed, spokie to someone else, who put me through to a supervisor, who not only told me the name of the woman I was just speaking to, went ovber and chastised her, then arranged for me to come out of my contract. I then went with BE broadband. But, it doesn't end there. A month after being with BE, orange takes a payment. I phone them up, get my money back. Next month Orange take another payment. I call the bank and cancel the direct debit. Phone Orange to get my money back. They say they can't as I Have cancelled the direct debit. I tell them I don't trust them to not take any money, so they arrange to send me a cheque, which duly arrives. Three months after leaving them, get a letter for non payment. Nothing month four or five. Month six, get a letter threatening court action over non payment of six month broadband. I rang them up and asked to be taken to County Court. I was offered easy payment terms, an offer of stopping proceedings and a warning that it would effect my credit rating and would be in the hands of debt collectors. I told them that I don't care, as BE Broadband had been supplying me with Broadband for six months, and we willing to give this evidence in court. They dropped the matter and sent a letter apologising. Then sent a letter the following month threatening court action. So I e-mailed the lot over, sent it in the registered mail, got a solicitor from Which magazine involved, BE publicity department sent an e-mail saying that they are happy to assist as they want to use it for PR purposes and I finally recieved another apology and a cheque for £60.00. It's been three years now, and I still expect them to want to take me to court.

You know, you can always vote with your feet and if NO-ONE uses Collesium, and only use Avensis & Princess, then they will be back in the frame, will be able to charge MUCH more money on the deal, and the price of season tickets, shirts etc. will go up. This is capitalism. You go out to tender, you may have a prefered bidder in mind, but if the other bloke can do it cheaper, you have to go with him. And as for keeping in with the local community, if NC came on here and said the official coach company was Avensis & Princess, but to subsidise the deal he would ahve to put £10.00 on all tickets, this thread would still exist, but would be about ripping off the fans, (and in Schrodingers universe, it probably does, and Pompey have paid all their debts, Saggy Chops regularly gives to Charity and is spearheading a campaign against corruption, the Green party are in power and Nick Illingsworth has a season ticket).

I don't agree. I use Retarded every day, such as 'Retarded Binder' where the black tarmac stuff is stopped from fully going off by the addition of a solvent, or Concrete Retarder.

Oh, ****, I say that one. Going to be practicing removing it fro m my vocabulary. And I'm probably one of the funniest people you'll ever meet.

I agree with the former,( and it not just people of black origin) when they say 'Know what I mean' I interupt and say, 'No please explain further.' And also when they say, 'You Know?' and I answer, 'No I don't' My worst hate is the word 'Innit'. I carried out a few interviews a few months back, just for apprentices so they were 16 or 17. A large numebr kept saying it over and over again. Grrrrrrrr. And also when they don't even bother saying 'Oh my God,' But actually say OMG. 'Weren't they a band in the 80's?' I respond. At that, all text speak. LOL, OMG, ROFL.

As the great Lord Suger put it, 'It's bloody,bloody nuts!!! and it wouldn't be allowed anywhere else in football'. It makes me wonder, not just why they are fighting to keep Pompey alive, but why they treat other teams differently. It's ****ing cloud cookoo land, and not only stinks to high heaven, I expect Oliver Stone to make a thriller about it.

YEP. better spend 300-400 million on a new team. No benfits to what we saw, they are all crp.Come on. Decent performance from us I thought. First 20 mins crap because we were star struck, but managed to improve, which bodes well for us to adapt to teams getting better of us. Ward- Prowse and lallana played very well, Adam my MOM, and i think Guly could have a future as a midfielder for us. Shame boys couldn't put one or two away. I liuked the way we moved the ball in the second half. I just want mid table survival this season and build for the next. but who knows.

Wow, what great times. My memory of being in the Army is of fearing that I may die at any minute buy sniper , worrying that I may not wake up due to stray shelling, being scared the aircraft coming over the hill may be be an enemy, or a friendly that mistakenly attacks us, or I may never see my family again. Or worrying that the men under my command might not live to see another day. But nothing like you experienced. My Hero.

that's all we need on a Saturday, cries of 'scummarmi, scummarmi' and the opposing fans going, 'Eh? What the eff is a scummarmi? Is it some sort of desease? Is it an old Hogmans curse? Or is it the new Southampton Tongalease centre back, Arnold Scummarmi?' We are Saints, we reserve the right to call ourselves any self-deprecating name we want!!!!

I aint got none, no way. Goody two shoes, me, (or I load the gun for others to fire)

Unfortunatly this is the way in Construction sometimes - It's called Early Contractor Involvement. I doubt Mowlem were on a design and build though. It's a well known fact that Barr bought the job and didn't do the best of jobs, especially as far as I'm concerned. In this day and age I reckon the cost would be around 66 million still. Although the cost of steel and materials has gone through the roof, labour costs are down are so are margins, with companies cutting each others throats at the moment. I'd still do it for cost, plus a life long season ticket and touching rights to Lucy Pinder. The

Hmmm. I did a cost comparison on it a couple of years ago. I'm on holiday at the mement but when I'm back to work i'll see if I can find it then apply a couple of growth figures. Hopefully indexing will give a close value.

Umm, sounds a lot like me. Get well soon, we're thinking of you.

Yes I've returned to the board to catch up and I see it's gone slightly off track. It's not the plastics or the JCL, it's those that have come out of the woodwork he claim they have ALWAYS been following the team, when you knwo full well they have'nt and want to air brush out history, where you know full well that they weren't around during the wildeness days, but they claim they were.

Harry Redknapp had mixed feelings about leaving Spurs. He was disappointed that he had to leave but on the other hand he had put 100k on Harry Redknapp leaving Spurs at 20/1

Harry Redknapp must be the first manager in history to have buckled under the pressure of the England job without actually having it.
