Football Special

That was a low point, come a long way in the last 12 months, I recall fans laughing at the club promoting half season tickets going on sale "who'd want one of those", a mate bought them for him and his lad as Christmas presents turned out to be a bargain This was from the same game

2700 in excellent, I noticed West Ham have sold out over 7000 for Blackburn so there will be loads of them on the trains via Preston and motorway services as well

Few interesting games Birmingham v Swansea stands out Unfortunately Boro have a kind fixture at Watford, few hard to predict such as Pompey v Stoke. I think West Ham get a win at Blackburn

Cant be sure, reckon we've sold roughly 2600, I dont think the end block was ever on sale so we've sold 2.5 blocks , we took 5500 last year so wont be a new ground for many , still a good turn out

I feel a bit sorry for them , although didnt they beat us at St Mary's this time last year where we all indulged in a bit of abuse directed at our own players, manager and board

Skates had extra rearranged fixture away to Wolves so both sides are currently 6 unbeaten

Can you imagine if a team finishing 8th 25 points behind 3rd ended up being.promoted? Will mean less teams on the beach end of season so get why theyve done it

Fortress Fratton with the passionateist fans init Imagine facing them in a play off final

Its a brilliant league isn't it, so many teams in the mix, Skates starting to look like genuine play off contenders Wolves seem to have a knack of picking up wins, good bet for a top 2 spot

Well I know where to come to do my Christmas shopping this year 🎅

Their fans still pop up commenting on any saints related social media post, very odd. Unfortunately they are about to go 5 points clear at the top of the table so we'll see plenty more smug posts from them

We play so many games i dont see it as a number 9 back up. Just sign a number 9, tell them they compete with Larin for the spot. Plenty of games to get minutes, but at Larin's age a few knocks can rule him out with longer recovery times, to be honest this spell on the sidelines now is a warning to Spors

Is Downes now one booking away from a suspension? I expect he'll pick one up vs Preston, miss the Derby game then be back for the more physical contests against Sheff Utd and Middlesbrough

Agree 2nd half we were impressive, need to carry that on Talking to other fans there seems quite a bit of complacency, "at least we're playing Preston Saturday" Yet our two defeats this season have come away at teams who are 19th and 20th in the league currently

Yeah its weird. West Ham fan i know who always gives decent assessment told me when we signed him that he'd dominated teams at youth level thanks to his relative strength and physical condition but now he's in men's football will struggle to have the same impact, hard to argue with that from the games ive seen
