I wonder if that will actually happen. No doubt flight costs will increase as hotel costs have already done. Probably not quite so bad if supporters have family accommodation to fall back on but rest of costs of attending a couple of games will be very significant.

Same with me. However I had a mild cold last year and similar one at the moment so hope that doesnt turn into flu which I havent had for many years.

Just think the 4 players mentioned have added quite a lot to the team's performance albeit at Championship level. The money from the Dibling deal has more or less paid for the players although the combined wage cost of the 4 newcomers will be significantly more than Dibling was paid. Much as though I was sad to see young Dibling go, he would not have added any where near as much to the team as have the aforementioned players.

I wonder how many fans (not only from England & Scotland) but other countries too can afford the inflated flight, hotel and ticket costs that the next World Cup will cost. Personally I hope the whole competition is a flop and it's a middle finger up to Trump and the knobs at FIFA but England win (some hope!!)

I reckon this is all Fake News. Cant see any mention about the 'Blue Army' disrespecting anyone on the Portsmouth News website.

I wonder if the jury is out on this post?

Hopefully he is nearing a return to full fitness but would he find a place in the starting line up at the moment? I thought Lander & Downes die well today and Aziz is beginning to score goals.

Wonder if his recent car spat may have affected the decision to leave him out from the squad or the fact that the club realise he is not very good.

I suppose yesterday was indicative of the Championship. Millwall won comfortably against a team in form and yet they were comfortably despatched last week by the team down the road who now sit in the relegation zone. Unless Saints can manage to shore up their defence and find a robust target man and possibly a top rated 'keeper, then the team is destined for mid table this season and the possible loss of better players in the summer. There is, of course, the possibility of sneaking into the play offs but even if we did go up there would have to be some inspired sourcing of Premiership ready players and the owners finding the money to finance the necessary purchases.

Eckhert reckoned he was pleased with Aribo's performance yesterday according to his interview with The Echo!!

Dont some of the boats start their journeys in French rivers/canals so passengers dont always get aboard on the coast?

That bit of info is doing the rounds. Believe he may be a bit injury prone

Is he any good with crosses?

Couple of random thoughts from last nights game. Baz made a very important save to prevent an equaliser at 1-0. He also concerned me when passing across the six yard box with an opponent in close attendance which could have gone horribly badly. Begovic made a great save when Leo went through at the end of a terrific rum. Both Fellows and Robinson should have done better when in good positions. The Ref did well for us with some of his decisions. The attendance was disappointing after a very decent performance at Charlton. Leicester fans ticket take up was very poor for a club of their stature. Smallest away following so far this season? Downs touched the ball once (?) and seemed to be injured in the process.

If the team's form and results continue as has been the case since Tonda has been in charge, definitely give him the job until the end of the season with a decent bonus if we go up. However part of me thinks that the team are getting the rub of the green, which wasnt the case under Still. The first goal would have been ruled out for offside in the Prem and possibly the second. The Ref was on our side too, especially with the second goal when Leicester could have had a free kick in the move which led to Azaz scoring. Downes could easily have been sent off for his rash challenge later in the game. All that said, how nice it was to walk away from the game with a spring in my step!!
