Saint IQ

I actually thought he was leaving this time last year as he did an interview with Blackmore end of last season along the lines of I need to leave to play in Europe etc. Maybe he should have.

Question is, will he be our "Mark Noble" by rejecting West Ham....Time will tell.

As long as you get it the day before the first home game it's not really a shambles is it?

Teams should be allowed 1 VAR review to use each half. Retained if the review shows the ref/lino mucked up. Like cricket but 1 review a half.

I think its ok to have one nutjob in the squad just no more than that so I would take him.

I was hoping Andrew Surman was going to take over Dave Merrington as he was brilliant when he stepped in couple seasons ago. Really hope he isn't on Solent for years to come. Caught a bit of post match last night and had to switch over when he said Che Adams and Adam Armstrong are very similar players..

DCC is probably in Croatia because he's Croatian.

Tadic was amazing his first 2 seasons here though.

He's got a many years left on his contract, no need to sell. Best Belgium talent at still only 19 yrs old. Will probably go on to play over 100 games for his country so why would we want to sell him for less than 50m?

Bristol Rovers have played at 3 stadiums.. Really hope Oxford FC get that sorted have affinity with Oxford with one side of the family growing up and some still living there. Keep the faith.

Maybe after seeing a team like West Ham win something he feels another title challenge/win in the championship would be the much more enjoyable and sensible option to take as opposed to relegation dog fight, at least until January I guess. Be a cracking result if he stayed.

Out of the list on odds checker I'd be happy these names (not saying they'd all jump at the chance to manage us) John Dahl Tomasson 12 Graham Potter 12 Chris Wilder 14 Nuno Espirito Santo 16

Bet Ankerson goes for Jon Dahl Tomasson

Score more than 2 goals only 3 times in a season and end up with only 2 points from those 3 games. Most games struggled to score 2 or even 1. Deserve to be bottom, horrible season.

From this it is saying we need 37-38 points to all but guarantee safety. So 4 wins and 3 draws or 5 wins in the next the last 10 games should be enough. Think we will fall just slightly short of those numbers. Bring on the Championship.

Should be 11/1 minimum. Is on a goal every 17.5 games atm according to Wikipedia

Mental considering the freekicks he scores and that he takes pens that JWP is only slightly lower odds at 5/1

Awful crosses, awful final ball, awful attempts on goal. Pretty good in other aspects but when you fail with those 3 things its not going to be a good watch.

Awful subs, walcott off for any attacking player but those 2 for me.

I'll do a most depressing players 11! ----------------Banzunu------------------ Bree------Lyanco----Bednarek----Peraud --------- AMN-------Diallo Aribo-------Elyounoussi------A.Armstrong ---------------Mara------------------- Bench these for the rest of the season and we might just be ok (please get on the pitch Tino)

Or just someone who watches football, he wasn't great today but still one of our only players that will play in the premier league next season.

It seems Walcott is our best striker and Long would walk into this team.

I think Ralph was just burnt out and had lost a lot of the players probably due to his persona and maybe because he gave them some home truths. They weren't good enough for him after that FA cup win v West Ham for a huge number of games. Would have been interesting the see how he got on if he had this money we have spent recently from the start of his rein.

Lyanco is not better than Jan. Our best centre back table is 1. ABK 2. DCC 3. Salisu (over a year ago he would have been number 2 but horrendous form) 4. Bednerek (Him and Salisu should never pair each other again if 1 or 2 are fit) 5. Lyanco (Only good for cup games and bringing him on for 10-15 to hold on for a win) Jack Stephens could come in almost anywhere in that table at times. Have seen him play to an extremely high level one week then would struggle to be above Lyanco in that list in the next week.

"Ruben Selles Red n white army. We h8 pompey" Does have a nice ring to it...
