As long as there is nothing like this: https://twitter.com/pompey_rob/status/638809010188230656 :lol:

I'm no tactician, but we say this all the time so I kept an eye on it Sunday. There was an instance on Sunday where Mané wasn't really marking anyone (zonal perhaps, but the guy nearest him didn't even make a run), and JWP cleared the ball upfield straight back to their player, since we had no-one up there. They had at least two defenders back, so it wasn't as if we really needed 11 men in the box anyway. Had Mané been up there he could have potentially latched on to that clearance. Instead, it goes straight back to Norwich. I don't get it?

Krakow definitely on my list of places to visit, along with Budapest.

Yeah when I was out there it was about 33 koruna to the pound. A standard 0.5L beer in most places was about 35 koruna. Think at the moment it's about 37 koruna to a pound. I've only been to Amsterdam city centre when I was six years old, so not old enough to 'appreciate' it as one might, so I can't really compare!

One of my favourite cities, been a couple of times Spring time not Winter mind but it's a really nice place. Czech beer is great, and cheap out there. Some great little bars to be found, including one where the beer is about 80p a pint and gets delivered to your table by a train on a model railway. Use public transport since it's cheap and easy to use. First time we went we got a taxi from the airport and it cost an arm and a leg relative to everything else. You can buy a 24hr transport ticket from a machine at the airport (or a tube station) for about the equivalent of £3 that can be used on the buses/trams/metro. Second trip we got a bus from the airport to the nearest metro then navigated from there. The metro system is quite small so easy to get around and it's all self-explanatory if you know what stop you need. Plenty to see in and around the Old Town and elsewhere like the castle on top of the hill, plus Prague has Central Europe's biggest nightclub if you're into that. Great city just to mooch about and explore and stop for a beer or two every now and again. Love the place, have a good trip.

Not quite a myth, but that reminded me of this which is still hilarious. From The Portsmouth News in 2007: HARRY REDKNAPP believes Pompey's stunning new stadium plans can help turn the club into a European force. Pompey's boss feels the 36,000-capacity ground can cement the club's place among the top 10 sides in the Premiership. Part of a 600m project with waterfront apartments, Pompey hope to be playing in the new stadium by August 2011. He said: 'It's an exciting time to be a Pompey fan. I've seen the plans and they're fantastic. 'It's a unique stadium. I've never seen anything like it. I can assure the fans that they will absolutely love it. 'The club is moving in the right direction on all fronts, with the plans for the new stadium and training ground. 'The future of this football club looks great.'

I really like the look of him and think he can be a good, solid player for us.

Yeah I had a good view of that one - One for the cameras I think! Perhaps you could call that a clear cut chance, but either way, I don't think there was any danger of it going in..

Again, lacking something. Something missing. Not clinical, no cutting edge. It was like watching a Championship game. Positives: -I really like the look of Romeu. Looks composed on the ball and likes to get stuck in. -Clean sheet. I thought Fonte had a good game, and I was impressed by Yoshida's performance. He gets a lot of stick, but thought he was absolutely solid yesterday. Negatives: -Unfortunately I think Targett looks out of his depth currently. He's young and inexperienced so I am willing to cut him some slack. I was stood front row and could hear some of the players' shouts. At one point, Stekelenberg had the ball in his hands and looked towards Targett who was moseying about on the left. Skeletonberg screamed at him to get down the wing and give an option, Targett then jogged on a bit, Skeletonburger looked a bit miffed before hoofing the ball long and down the middle. -Lack of clear cut chances. I don't think Gomes was seriously tested once. A few pot shots with comfortable saves was it, at most.

Love Saints fans... Twitter was funny last night. Yoshida, under pressure, clears the ball upfield towards Mane. It was a completely ordinary clearance not worthy of any comment, however, "WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT YOSHIDA" screamed one man. I personally thought Yoshida played quite well out of position. According to twitter, Caulker was both the best and worst player on the pitch. I know it is purely opinion, but you don't half get some overreactions from some people.

I'd be disappointed if we let our captain leave for another PL club. I think Fonte would be a massive loss.

What an absolute joke of a club!

Aardvark? I thought it was a dog lying on its back!

Yeah, and since then he followed Wijnaldum and also favourited his tweet... Guess he's off to Newcastle then...

Love Minder, sad to hear about this.

This. I'm suffering from post-Arnhem blues.

A great and memorable day spent drinking in Jansplaats, an average game of football, but job done... Nice of the Vitesse players to come over and clap our support after the game.

Hats off to the city of Arnhem, its people, its football club and their fans. They did not have to go to such effort for us but they did, giving us Jansplaats (or "Shouthampton Shquare" as the DJ kept calling it) was a touch. Dread to think how many pints of lager in total was consumed there...! A good effort all round, great fun. The Dutch were so friendly and accommodating too. I said to a Vitesse fan that it's a shame we didn't put anything on for them, but he assured me that they all had a great time in Southampton and loved it there. I thought Guildhall Square would have been perfect for something like that though. Arnhem - Thank you.

Cheers

Just out of curiosity, what is that area called with the flags? Is that Korenmarkt, or somewhere else?

That thread was started on the back of three losses in a row - We had just lost to Man Utd. Days after that we lost to Burnley, and then we lost to Sheffield United. It wasn't a good time for anyone. I was at that Sheffield United game, and Mane, for whatever reason, looked clueless. On a evening of all round disappointing performances, he was bloody rubbish. You can't deny there was a time he was playing massively below-par. I'm glad he got his act together and came good.

He was class for me for many seasons on FM15, a pivotal player as I led Everton to multiple league titles and a Champions League trophy. For that reason alone, I hope we sign him.

Yeah, the Somme and the WW1 stuff is all on my list of things to do as well!

I've just got a bike, love cycling about and I do it completely non-seriously, I just like to get outside. Think my longest ride so far is 64km. Not concerned with speed or anything but I enjoy just going for an amble. I'd like to cycle Northern France, perhaps from Caen to Cherbourg to do the D-Day beaches and other historical sites along the way. Fair play to you lot going mega distances. Good stuff.
