So gets taken off.

Ignoring instructions....should have passed it backwards.

We seem to be officially treating this as a pre-season friendly now.

Kinda is, to be fair! 😁

[ant]

Don't be mean to Rusk - the Fernandes to Smallbone sub is just helping to set our expectations for next season. 😬😬😬

Fernandes off... WTF...?

What are the retards doing? Fernandes and Sulemana carry a (small ) threat, 2 down and we bring on bloody Smallbone and a nipper. 😖

Is Rusk actually a Pompey fan? 

He seems a bit dim, so maybe?

[trousers]

If Rusk mentions "making progress",  "several positives" or "players giving their all" in his post match interview I fear for the safety of our cats...

You can just about see that is what he's trying to do. Prepare for next year. Give the players some game time. 

But I'd prefer if we did that after we've got another point. He seems to sense no humiliation or embarrassment. 

[OldNick]

I realy do not understand any thinking at the club at present. I did feel Lallana was a smart person re football but some of the decisions are seemingly quite mad

Wonder if he steals from charities and avoids paying tax too?

What sort of cunt takes off Fernandes for Smallbone?

To be fair, he is only the assistant. If Rusk chooses to ignore Lallana's ideas that isn't on Lallana.

We are hopelessly, pathetically, unequivocally shit. They deserve to be pelted with rotten fruit at the last home game. Shame! Shame!

Are you joking?

Our "great fans" will give them a fucking standing ovation.

I’ve been to 14 away games, isn’t that that punishment enough? So fuck off 

And when you do you have a choice to respond in a way that you are comfortable with.

criticising others for supporting their team in their way is petty and pointless 

so fuck off yourself

[benjii]

Onuachu >>>> Stewart

Is there a more pointless player than smallbone?

 

[Lord Duckhunter]

As bad as it is, it’s still better than Lego’s visit to King Power 😂😂

Fair point, but i assume he is giving input.

[BallBoy]

Pointless prediction. We will lose this 3-0 with Vardy scoring again in the last few minutes.

Love it, haven't heard that since I left 25 years ago.

[redkeith]

I hope that the Fernandes Smallbone swap will show spors that we need at least 1  new numbed 10 next season . 

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

Can't Gary Birtles hear what our fans are singing?

[Saint NL]

That's a clear foul on THB.

Nothing given

Try reading what I said! I did not say they would be a success! Nor did I say they wouldn't!

 

I was being nice, Mr Defensive. 😢

[Saint NL]

Saints fans still banging out Matty Fernandes song 😂

Great effort

[ant]

I make that about 10 minutes of the Fernandes chant now.

I cant remember what a good weekend feels like during a football season.

Leicester taking the piss now by bringing on an actual child

Yes. It only has power for a single trip into the past. So, I'm using it to go back and get my younger self to support another club. 🙂

[skintsaint]

Leicester bring on a Monga. No doubt will score.

Where's Clyne?

Was lallana still here then? Where's he?

[Saint NL]

Ipswich come from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Everton.

Big pressure now on Everton to win their final home game....

No problem there 

[Lord Duckhunter]

Downes won’t need a shower afterwards…

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

Playing 4 at the back makes us better. With Smallbone on, even the 4-4-1 formation looks better than the first half

[RedWillie]

Absolute shambles of a team. I dont want to see any of them bar a couple,  in the team next year.

He'll be sharing a changing room with one shortly though...

THB loses more of his value.

You will see lots because no one will want them

Here we go - Vardy 3-0?
