Golden Balls

Just seen the score. 'Kin hilarious! It's bad enough they haven't got anywhere near top 3 but to miss out on the play offs would unbelievable. Comments on the snooze article suggests Mr Cook is a full on villain in the swingometer. If they miss out this year it could really fall apart and they could be on for another scrap to keep their football league status.

Hahahahaha too good for promotion.

Not overly bothered about keeping Wanyama and Mane if we get good offers. It's Forster, Bertrand, Long and Koeman I want us to keep at all costs. EL won't make a difference to any of them. Even CL won't matter much. When Chelsea don't qualify for the CL or EL do you think Mane would turn them down? No, he wants to play for the biggest club he can for as much money as he can. Same with most players.

Love the guy and would love the club to invite him back as a guest. Shame he got injured. He's the best finisher I've seen live for Saints. When he was through on goal you'd expect him to score, which I don't think I've felt with any other player since.

Funny result in their big derby game. They'll still make the playoffs though. And they'll celebrate that as some sort of achievement. Until they lose them and it's back to the "this was planned all along so we could storm the league next year" line.

A lot of people I know are holding off to wait and see if the Northam opens up.

Will be a really bad atmosphere. Bad decision to do that.

Tickets on sale now. Not sure if it's the online system playing up or if they're expecting really low numbers but I can only but in the Itchen at the moment. Surely we'd get over 20k?

Awful awful beer. No wonder they're throwing it away.

Just seen Paul Cook driving into Port Solent and then parking near David Lloyd holding his mobile to his ear. Are there any rules they won't break? For those that care, he drives a 65 plate black BMW (5 series I think) M sport.

How Everton are as bad as they are I'll never know. Some fantastic players there. I fully expect us to get beat, for 2 reasons. It's at their place and they have Lukaku who always rips us a new arse.

I know this goes against the grain but working every day on the dark side, most Pompey fans have a lot of respect for MLT. They hate him because of how good he was for us. But most appreciate his genius and that he's a nice bloke.

I always thought he wasn't physically strong enough but the Championship requires more physicality if anything. Confidence really does seem an issue. Good to see him have it back. Maybe if he signs for them after they come up we'll see the real Gaston.

Ah the old, "we won stuff" thing. It's literally all they have yet technically, they don't. What's Leicester got to do with anything? By them winning the league it means they jump up to 5 trophies. But still, they cling to their prehistoric success that even their parents weren't old enough to witness just to make themselves feel better. Funny how the likes of Huddersfield, and "The Wanderers" don't bang on about that sort of stuff.

I've tried to keep quiet about this so far but I can't keep it in any more. They're still up to this old invoicing trick even now. A friend of mine is owed a 6 figure sum from them and they outright refuse to acknowledge him. I can't go into detail incase it makes it too obvious to blue eyes who I'm talking about. But they're behaviour has been disgraceful and nearly cost him his house. He used to be a ST holder but has since turned to H&W for a football fix. Once the ordeal is sorted I'll post the full details.

Get the feeling Pelle will go back to Italy with everyone's blessing. Could see Fonte remaining for a while yet. Even if he wasn't in the 1st team. People like him and Kelv are the types you need around the club. Leaders for everyone to look up to and those who were here during darker days.

What's all this stuff about the "Football Association Premier League"? I thought they didn't want to be in the PL? They prefer "real football". Overall though, a 2k profit is a profit and I'm sure there was no creative accountancy at all. No sir. None.

And Zaha at Palace

This!!!

£58 reduction for me which is good. Disappointed the club have only frozen the price for others though. The only reason mine has gone down is because they were forced to reduce the away fans tickets. A gesture to charge me the same for me I suppose. All things considered I think overall the club has missed the opportunity to put fans first and some really good PR by not reducing all tickets. £570 is still a rip off IMO. But I'm a mug and I'll pay it.
