I particularly like how you don't refer to him as your Uncle.

I could not live with this. I know some people are feigning outrage on this thread but honestly, if my skate wife (just about acceptable if shes from Pompey and not really in to her football) ever tried brain washing a kid of mine in to supporting them it probably would be grounds for divorce. I just couldn't bear watching my flesh and blood running around in a Pompey shirt. Probably sounds harsh but football is such a big part of my life and I can't wait until the day I can take my son(s) down to SMS. I genuinely think I would love my child less if they decided to support them.

Scratch that, he left without making a single appearance. From Wikipedia: Portsmouth Despite announcing his retirement from the game the previous year it was confirmed on 28 July 2009 that Antti Niemi was in talks with Portsmouth.[4] On 7 August, Niemi confirmed he had signed for Portsmouth on a one year deal as backup to David James and to work with the goalkeeping coaches.[5] On 24 March 2010, he was released from his contract, without making a single appearance in the Portsmouth's first team. It was reported that Niemi earned almost £450,000 during those eight months with Portsmouth. Good lad Antti.

Niemi is still on the books I believe...

The king of ciders. Strongbow.

We have by far the best goals for tally in the league. I can't believe this is even being discussed.

Cant get on Twitter at work but this isn't HSBC in Chandlers Ford again is it?

Saints do take these sort of recommendations seriously, particularly if you have reports that back up what you are saying. There is an email address on the club website where you can send these recommendations and I'm sure Saints would be interested in ensuring they get first look when he comes over from Oz to visit. Good luck!

Nothing wrong with the bands you mentioned. The difference being, with Coldplay we are talking about a band with 5 studio albums with like it or not, smash hits on each one. The challenge of keeping their sets fresh, exciting and engaging, whilst still having to play these hits is hard but they do seem to manage it. Stone Roses didn't have to ever tour the world singing Fools Gold 10 years after it was released. Same goes for the Pistols. As I said before, I am not a huge Coldplay fan but was blown away when I saw them live and they ripped it up at Glastonbury this year too.

I'll also go for 2nd half v Leicester. It was like watching Barcelona; retaining possession, passing in triangles, attacking in waves, cutting them open at will.

Absolutely key point. They presume because we've only just been promoted that our squad is paper thin. It isn't. And one suspects that beyond January, the strength in depth is only likely to improve as well.

For a club with similar recent history to ourselves (bar relegation to League 1 and administration) West Ham really do seem to rate themselves don't they? They are the next Pompey in spending money they don't have on ageing, over-rated players in an all-or-nothing attempt at promotion, serving up an absolutely gash brand of football. I really hope it blows up in their face and they fail to get promoted. I could easily see it all go t!ts up for them.

In fairness, this is what most sides have tried doing since the run began. The benefit of spending time in League 1 is that we seem to have learnt how to overcome that. I think the biggest shock would be for a team to come to SMS and retain possession and attack us.

Bound to be game of the day, I'm hopeful...

You don't really need to pre-arrange such an event. Both sides needed a draw. Why would you risk getting caught on the break attempting to score when a boring 0-0 draw suits all parties involved?

Bad feedback/poor user experience. Quite frankly I want to put a CD I have bought in to my computer and start playing the game. Ask me to start jumping through hoops and changing security settings etc etc etc.. and frankly I cannot be bothered. I really hope you feed this all back to your bosses and are not burying your head in the sand.

Albums might be a little too polished but live, there aren't many better bands out there.

Jesus wept. Let it go you miserable old tart. Suppose you want everyone rocking up wearing Prada and Stone Island, pouting moodily singing Saints songs matched exclusively only to Stone Roses and Smiths songs.

So are you suggesting we start paying toilet cleaners £15 an hour to make it more attractive?

I keep buying FM every year (although not this year because of Steam) but totally agree its too in depth. I always find myself going back to CM4 due to its simplicity. It also helps Saints are a pretty decent outfit on it as well but I like the fact I can sit down and do a season in an afternoon. I briefly went back to my FM09 game last weekend, played for about 3 hours and had played about 4 games. Boring.

True dat. Almost always sold him to Chelsea and bought Kim Kallstrom, Jobi McAnuff and Martin Albrechtsen with the proceeds. Usually still had left overs to fund a youth recruitment drive signing Fabio Paim, Anatoli Todorov, Cherno Samba, Tomi Petrescu and Serge Makofo as well!

Whats his recent injury record like?

Poyet's amateur attempt at mind games. I can almost guarantee Nige won't even read this so it shouldn't make the slightest bit of difference.

Because I have quite an extensive background working in recruitment. In my experience, when advertising for such positions I would say applicants are 95% foreign. I also have experience working in a host of hotels earlier on in my career and can honestly say I did not once encounter a British chamber maid or kitchen porter.

I dare say a large proportion of the jobs these migrants do are jobs that the poor 1.2 million British youngsters would refuse to do or think they are above i.e. hotel chambermaid, toilet cleaner, pot washer in a pub/restaurant etc...
