Im sure he will be, when we signed him AP must have suggested that we might not go up this season. I mean we were on -9 when he came. I think if we don't go up next season then he could be in danger of leaving but would think he will stick around for next season at least. Don't worry.

Think it should be: Davis Thomas Jaidi Perry Harding Antonio Hammond Morgan Lallana Lambert Waigo Other than that I was thinking maybe: Davis Thomas Jaidi Perry Harding Antonio Hammond Morgan Waigo Lallana Lambert Only because their full backs are so slow that two pacey guys up against them might bring us some joy. If Connolly was fit I would controversially suggest dropping Lallana and playing 4-4-2 with Waigo and Antonio down the flanks purely for their pace.

any guesses as to the lineup that Pards might choose. Especially with Fonte out. If I were picking I think I would go for: Davis Thomas Jaidi Perry Harding Antonio Morgan Hammond Lallana Waigo Lambert Maybe even have Lambert up top on his own, Lallana in behind and Papa out on the left hand side. We really need to attack them down the flanks, their full backs are very slow and their center backs are shaky so crosses to Rickie will be key I think.

I think we'll win it 1-0 for some reason I have a sneaky suspicion Lee Barnard will score for us.

Hey guys, anyone know if Fonte is cup-tied? He'd be a big miss I think. Also does anyone know how much shirts are going for these days? I have a few old ones but fancied an upgrade for the game. Don't want to pay full whack though as there will be a new one next season.

Except that I actually paid for the train and you have been sitting on your arse in the warmth calling a freephone number. Also Ive had a season ticket since 1998 and the only season I haven't had one is this season because of uni.

There is such a thing as the train, and you could have been better prepared having the Customer Numbers to hand. I came back from uni last night and queued up early. Have tickets in hand now. I don't go every week but have had a season ticket in the past. Are you saying you deserve it more than me? Not accusing you of being a lazy fan, just dont complain when you dont get down there early like others.

to be honest, everyone moaning about plastics getting tickets should just accept it I think. For one, they actually stayed overnight to buy the tickets or got up at some ungodly hour to go down at collect them. Deanovski, your location says Lymington so you could have gone down early and got the tickets should you have been so inclined, instead you clearly took the 'easier' option of staying on the phone when, from past experiences of games like this, its just too jammed to ever get through. Those who got up at 5.30 am to get tickets deserve them in my opinion. Everyone else should just stop complaining.

Alanh - what about Hammond? Surely he is a 'first teamer'?

I can't start a new thread as I'm not a registered member, but have been informed by my Pompey supporting friend that speculation on Pompey messageboards suggest that Richard Hughes could be on his way to us for 350k. Although a skate, would be a top midfielder in League 1 and would do a decent job in the Championship imo.

why would the Premier league care about Notts County or Gillingham going under? He clearly means a Premiership team.

its on their website http://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10436~1930971,00.html

Talk about overreacting!

Bent is on loan at Boro so doubt it would be him. Would love to see us sign George Boyd from Peterborough but is that just really wishful thinking?

I wouldn't put Lambert ahead of Crouch or Jones to be honest. They are the two best strikers since Beattie.

lambert, exactly what we have been missing for a number of seasons. Goals and assists aplently. Very Beattie esque and the best striker we've had since we sold Jones.

does any site still do FM for under £18? as zavvi has gone up to £24

correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure there is no way that Windows 7, let alone Vista would run on a netbook. XP is probably the best you can get for them at the moment.

actually I forgot Surman, swap him for BWP

I'd like to see: Kelvin James Cork Pearce Skacel Gillett Wotton BWP Lallana Holmes Paterson
