That's how it was in the old days when I started watching the Saints. It changed when the biggest clubs decided they would like to keep all of their gate money, which they then followed by setting up the Premier League which creamed off even more of the money for the top clubs.

On the way into the ground I commented to my mate that I hoped they didn't parade the trophy so that all minds were firmly on today's game. So I don't feel short changed, and to be fair we celebrated last week at Wembley. No need to do it again,

Irani in particular is dire. The strange thing is he's so bad it's worth listening to, especially his sychophantic agreement with anything that fat soak says.

Agree 100%.

In the media many untruths or half truths are perpetuated through lazyness. Why don't any of the journalists point out that these fantastic pompey fans can't fill a tiny ground? Probably because it's easier just to trot out the same old lines rather than raise an uncomfortable truth.

Really? It stands out a mile!

Sky Sports News reporting that they are currently in negotiation with HMRC to avoid the winding up order.

There is a real chance of a winding up doing ahead. Administration would be unlikely to provide Chainrai with a full repayment of his debt and I can't imagine he would want to make any payment to HMRC.

I look forward to receiving their thanks for such a generous and compassionate act.

Technically he is very good and has a very cool head in front of goal. I'd like to see him start more often to see whether he is more than just an impact player.

Back at the Dell it was sung at the correct tempo and the whole ground could join in (except for the beast of the East Stand who sat behind me). The speedy version is really crap! Perhaps I'm just getting old, but I appreciate that having been a season ticket holder for 31 years and attended every home and away game in consecutive seasons, I'm just not a football person. God bless those proper fans with their song about string.

I agree. We have a couple of tough home games coming up and Pards has admitted we are not as good as the top teams. Optimism at last, but we must accept that Rome wasn't built in a day. Lets aim for the play-offs but not get hysterical if we fall short.

Doesn't a valve reading mean the position of the valve on the tyre? I think the position of the valve is checked by the warden when the car is first seen and is then compared at the second time. If the valve hasn't changed position then they take the view that the car hasn't moved. Also, normally you can't return to the same space within 2 hours so you may have a problem contesting this one.

By 1 November Storrie's consortium will be in control and Harry will have returned to his spiritual home. He's already denied he'd go back so we know it's true.

A manager can not be judged until he has been allowed to build his own team. As a result no judgement can be made until mid-way through next season. Luckily the new owner is a successful businessman and will not make any hasty decisions based upon a difficult period when rebuilding the club from top to bottom.

Jumpers for goalposts, FA Cup? Paul Randall? Enduring image.

I was going to post that the Hitler comment was a classic but this tops it.

Sadly I have to agree. That is the best performance I've seen him put in since the game before he went out on loan to Bolton. I'd love him to stay though. He can score goals and has the knack of putting himself in the right place at the right time.

Pearson is my top choice. He brought in players that kept us up, and to my mind not only is he a terrific coach but the ability to sign the right players is always key.

Anyone except Tony Adams.

I'll be back.

Well done Nigel. An obvious outcome from a talented manager.

Step 1 - Find a buyer Step 2 - Appoint Paul Ince. A young manager that has experienced success in the lower leagues. I think he would suit us and we would suit him.

Thanks. I'd better call at the ticket office!

I've got student and adult tickets for the game. The student ticket has a detachable stub but not the adult ticket which consists of only the section you would retain after going through the turnstile. ie nothing to be torn off at the turnstile. Is that the same with everyone else's tickets?
