I think that it is interesting how after 2 games under NA we have now seen Dickson play, have seen more of Holmes than we saw in the previous 6 months and now have even seen Pullis getting the closest to a first team place than in the last 2 years. Anyone would think that NA was wanting to assess the playing staff that he has at this disposal. Taking such a logical, sensible approach is not something that we have come to expect from Southampton managers.

Pompey may win something this year..... Or more precisely the Android may: https://www.eventsforce.net/ima/frontend/reg/tOtherPage.csp?pageID=14364&eventID=9 PMSL !!!

Bring back Ivan Golac & let the good times roll!!!

and me. That Pated bloke seems to have lost the ability to send PM's .... either that or (God forbid!!) he doesn't really know!!

I would be very grateful for a PM. Thanks

Mourinho. Now thats what I would call wow factor.

0-3 at home to Swindon in his first match is hardly a ringing endorsement of his ability.

Steve Cotterill was interviewed this morning on the Alan Brazil show (I know, I know its a daft programme but I was waiting for the money man to appear a few minutes later - honest) on Talkspor'. SC would never win any prizes for being articulate but he spoke a lot of sense about the impossibility of blooding too many youngsters at the same time (as we all know to our cost!!). Most interestingly Alan Brazil tried to get him to say something derogoratory about the "turmoil down the road at southampton." SC completely refused. "He is a football man and does not like to gloat. Southampton have just lost their owner and now is not the time to relish in their misfortune" (or words to that effect). He refused to say anything bad about us and made Brazil look a complete pratt (not difficult I know). He went up a notch in my estimation.

What worries me is that we have got through 6 managers in such a short space of time. Stability is the name of the game and we seem to be making the same mistake again.

I have recently returned from a great holiday in South Africa. As others have previously pointed out "Terry Paine MBE - one of the 1966 World Cup winners" is a major soccer pundit on South African TV. I had to lol last week when he was asked to comment on the score Preston 1 - 0 Pompey. His opinion was that Pompey are having to sell so many players that fans could be asked to play if they bring their boots. He thinks that Pompey are likely to drop right through to League 1. His accent has not changed and apart from some grey hair he has not aged. it is great to know that one of our all time greats is spreading the anti Pompey gospel throughout the African continent.

I wonder how W******d got through immigration when he arrived in the States. Normally the yanks are very fussy about who they allow into their country.

... and Corp called us all a bunch of mongs because we thought that they would appeal!!

... and now its 62%

Why does Wayne Thomas choose to live in Stoke??? He comes from Gloucester and his last 2 clubs have been Saints and Burnley - both nowhere near Stoke!! I mean ...Stoke is almost the Portsmouth of the midlands.

that Dorito of Paraguay is joining MK Dons next season to play at the heart of their defence with the Wotsit ????

Because he's completely weird!!

I love the bit from Skate News which said: The administrator met with HMRC, which has put in a £35m claim, on Tuesday to persuade them to vote in favour. He said: 'They're sitting on the fence. They said they will let me know their position on Monday.' I can tell him today which way they will go .... unless he changes his proposals.

As others have pointed out, this is one of the flaws in the cunning plans of both AA and Griffen. £3 million is much closer to the net realisable figure once agent fees, sweeteners for players to leave & continued payment of wages for players who have been transferred have all been taken into account. What will happen if they do not get £30 million from transfers and the world's "gratest" fans ™ fail to turn up to watch lower league football in their hordes??

Oh yippeee!! Were you a Tolpuddle martyr in a previous life????

Lets just hope that you go away when the World Cup starts and you can moan about something else. I do feel sorry for you if you are serious.

If there is no instalment plan do we all have to boycott St Mary's??

Ok... but please moan quietly somewhere else!!
