Gloucester Saint

I agree it isn’t through the prism of victory but he’s been miles off the level of last season when he broke through and stood out. Has to improve his conditioning because he won’t be dislodging Downes, JWP and Jandar without substantial improvement and getting to last season’s levels.

And has since as per the Fabreze advert ‘gone noseblind’. Would take weeks to get the stale months’ worth of BO out of your nostrils.

Will Smallbone syndrome - poor conditioning and fitness. Seems to be a recurring pattern with our recent academy graduates. Hope today spurs him on to get to the gym and put in the summer work which should have happened but the club doesn’t seem to push younger players to maximise what they can be. Too comfy and easy.

He couldn’t have failed to contribute more than Emmanuel Mayuka.

Who cares, just beat the St John’s ambulance stealing fish shaggers.

You nearly had your wish - Haaland very surprising miss clean through. Scouse fury directed at the referee for second Gravenberg yellow instead. Carra Spit the Dog fuming on commentary.

It’s been like Saints v Pompey of last season. Scrappy needle, but no chances at goal.

Just 4 arrests, all Southampton-affiliated.

Hostile atmosphere, albeit not on an intensity of our game today. City getting it every time they have a spell of possession, fight a few minutes ago on the pitch and some of the banners - the ‘We’re not Here’ with the trophies crossed out and another in the Kop corner saying ‘a generation of supporters cheated’.

Loads of better pubs nearby. Fat Cat & Canary for starters.

Andy Hinchliffe I think it was. Either that or Don Goodman. Neither of them like SFC.

He got emotional with the messages from former team-mates plus the montage, understandably.

You’re not alone it seems in that view https://www.facebook.com/PortsmouthFCTheNews/posts/got-lots-wrong-today-pathetic-league-one-attack-pompey-fans-react-to-defeat-to-s/1527269752754788/ Mousinho and Colby Bishop receiving the worst of the blue backlash.

Bit of a dispersal but looks minor compared with 16 years ago https://www.facebook.com/dailyecho/videos/riot-police-move-in-to-move-on-saints-fans-outside-st-marys/1415507186727232/
