It always ****es me off that he doesn't get enough recognition from his home city. It's not like Winchester has a load of world cup winners knocking about. Wish there were more like him, skillful, tough and able to put a ball anywhere he wanted. Proper Saints (and Winch!) LEGEND!

Wouldn't want to see Zola but maybe Steve Clarke might step into managment. OK he lacks managerial expereince but he is well regarded in football and is out of a job at the moment. Curbs is a good shout aswell. Cant see it being Coppell. Didnt he leave Brizzle because the chairman signed James and Coppell didn't want him? Cant see him getting along with Cortese! Cant belive Blackwell is being banded about (mainly by the bookies) he has never done **** all and would be 2 steps back from AP.

The beer in the Plume is served in plastic glasses and that is not to bad. The beer at the ground is shocking, it tasted like water with a few asprins in!

Nice pic, that has doubled in size since Thursday afternoon. How long will the book be open for? Wont be down that way agian until Orient game, any ideas? WIFM

Short term - Pack out SMS at the next home game, plenty of banners and colour (if thats your thing). 1 min silence followed by a noisey appreciation for our savior Long term - Re-name the Itchen for a permanent reminder for our savior.

chez- whatever the outcome of the accounts, we are in a stronger position than we were before the takeover. John- not really earning 'vast sums' are they? surley the price of a season ticket will earn the club the same regardless of if it has been brought on a payment scheme or if it has been brought outright on a credit card? The money would just come in a bit quicker on the new set-up. Jason- when i used to be season ticket(not any more so you can dig me out for that if you want!) i used the payment plan even though i could scrape the money up if i really needed to. Just makes things easier. But there is no way i could cough up for 2 so you have every right to be ****ed off. As i said in my first post its a silly idea to scrap the scheme. I would have a bit of a moan, same as you are, then get myself a credit card and pay 0% as i did in the scheme. Its a ball ache and i see your point, but im just happy i still have a club to support. I really should learn how to multi quote!

you might be right John, but atleast we have a debt free club to sell

What, so they wont attend games full stop, or will they just buy tickets as and when? If 2000 people dont renew because of this i cant see the attendance dropping by 2000. Its a silly idea not to do the installments, but you have to laugh at the massive over reaction from a minority of Saints fans. Surley a 0% credit card is the simple answer? The level of critasism aimed at ML and NC is a ****ing joke, considering the strong position we find ourselves in. It was ONLY A YEAR AGO we were in Palaces position, some people could do with looking at the bigger picture! (thats not aimed at you rocknrollman!)

why have you never tried the social club? As for the Charlie, it always was expensive even when Sue was running it. Heard it was a bit poncey, but its ok for a few pints in the afternoon when the sun is shining. Will never be like it used to be which is a shame. Moving back to Kingsworthy in 2 weeks so i will probably use it every now and again.

Random bloke standing outside Wembley with his mate 'We have got to much beer', I will take some off your hands mate, he then gave me a 4 pack of Stella's! Top bloke! Trying to start a chorus of ' i've got a shed, thats bigger than this' outside Wembley, got a few laughs.

Can you only buy the programs on the day, or can you buy them online from somewhere?(apart from flea bay). Dont want to be dragging around a book all day.

yes, but not as much as we do. Dont mind the odd wash your mouth out, but we seem to have 3 or 4 songs that get sung at every game. Bit sad really. As for booing an injured player, think most people were annoyed at the time it took to get the bloke off the pitch after the first injury. The second time was just as bad. Just drag the **** off and get on with the game ffs. Wasnt like his leg was hanging off

People who sing, get into em , **** em up People who sing Pompey fan on a string people who try to speed up OWTS after one line people who applaud the team off even when they have had a **** game and cant string to passes togeather. The nob in the reindeer hat ( why would you do it?) queing for a beer queing to get out of the Norham after a game, then queing to get out of the bridge.

Does he always wear that thing? Saw him down in the concourse at half time banging the bin with his fat mate who was also very annoying. i presumed he had lost a bet and was made to wear it, surley you wouldnt do so out of choice.

whats up with the trains then?

What has been said about about big Ron on this thread then? I read through and couldn't see anything, only someone saying you hang out of his arse (not my words). As for posts with zero value, you might want to look a bit closer to home. We do leak a few late goals ( anything past 80 mins in my book) but its not like Pards has done nothing about it ( Fonte, Otsesemibor etc). It takes time to get a whole new team to gel togeather, surley you understand that? We all knew deep down this was going to be an experimental season and i think a good 90% of Saints fans are happy with the progress being made. Maybe living in L.A means you are out of touch, but there is a big buzz around the club at the moment. I think this is why your thread has had such a poor response, but i suppose you cant please all the people all of the time.

As apposed to coming across like a patronising ***** like you do in the majority of your posts?

To the tune of nik nak paddywack (nicked of Citeh) P-O-M P-E-Y youre club has been bled dry, with a nik nak paddywack, give a dog a bone, call ocean finance on the phone. or maybe not!

Few of us will be there, getting a train about 10 to Soton though

Pointless IMO. Did we need to do this for the cup final in Cardiff? No. It shows how quiet are support is when you have to 'plan' things to get a decent atmosphere at a game like this. When it comes to big games we do always pull a good atmoshere out the bag (4-3 Norwich, Sheff Utd when we stayed up, Pompey games etc..) If your that worried about standing, get a ticket at the back. I will stand and sing but if some old duffer wants me to sit down because he cant see, then i will do. It wont stop me making alot of noise. Get drunk, make plenty of noise and stop worrying, when we are in full flow the hairs on the back of your neck will stand up.

Only a couple left. Mate just got one Row z in the family section

But Portsmouth fc would have to cease to exsist for there to be an AFC Portsmuff. A team might still play at Fratton and bring some money in, but Pompey can quite easily cease to exist.

wouldn't it be better on a day when he is attending?

Pretty much knew that but still feel like i need to pinch myself sometimes. Things just get better for all Saints fans

When do the Luton tickets go on sale? Cant seem to find any date on the OS. Cheers
