Hm wonder if they'll do a Southampton, build a new state of the art stadium which loses the intimidation/uniqueness of their original (the Dell) and get relegated. While its a shit-hole, Fratton park isn't somewhere teams go with much confidence, its kept them up before.

cough* 4-2(sinton 2..mathie,cole2,allen) i think off hte top o me heed thats the one, er it might have been 3-1 at some stage.....backpeddling like

Alex Mathie & Andy Sinton......think both scored in our 1st tv game on sky. 3-1.

Andy Thorn & Kevin Scott .......youngest regular central pairing in the top flight the year they played together (we got relegated)

imo Parkers problem when playing with Emre is that unlike Butt he wants to get forward too much and when he does he gets into Emre's way. Emre isn't the greatest but he's the best we've got so let him do what he can do. Once he (and present/previous managers) figures out he's not really cut out for the attacking midfielder role he could imo develop into a canny holding one, as the attributes he does do well are more suited to that role.

I thought it was a canny game.

Thought all the defenders were excellent today (even Carr - till he tired after 70 or so mins), regardless of what Brian Marwood thinks. Sibs was better in our box than theirs and did an cracking job on Terry.

tim cahill is a t***,peacock isn't I meant as what he does for the team not his persona dunno like,cahill plays centre attackin midfield,peacock played there sometime,right back aswell but mainly up front and on the right. however gavin peacock is a very gpood call as a random 90's footballer funny how time plays tricks on the mind....had Peacock down as an attacking midfielder who occassionally played upfront, not the other way round..

Robbie Fowler snorting 'lines'

tim cahill is a t***,peacock isn't I meant as what he does for the team not his persona

Gavin Peacock........our Tim Cahill.

Ha, Andy Gray or the other one said something along the lines that its one of those weekends when instead of 2 points dropped, it may be one gained (for Man U)..........2 pints of what he's having please

He's written down under the 'August 31st' subtitle. Black friday

Andy Booth.......him and Lee Bowyer where supposed to be the next big things when they were young'uns.

...hope we don't try to get Zat Knight (again) instead

Not bothered (go on then, Chelsea), but at least its gonna be a close one for a change. ....and its getting VERY interesting doon the the other end anaal, more teams involved now than I thought would be a month ago.

That. Zog was cracking last season, this season though started poor, got injured and has come back poor. I do however hope he's still here next season as he's got potential, but what will be will be.

Despite the fact that Keane was talking specifically about how poorly Chelsea played in the semi-final, I think they'd get about the same result against them then as we will on Sunday.

Thanks

.....Wee bit of help needed. Are the last two home games, Chelsea & Blackburn, vouchers 17 & 18 or 18 & 19? Cheers

Rush, Hooper & John Bailey

apart from say Sam Allardyce, who's is coincidentally just 5 points below I don't see any uber wankfests going on for him... coincidentally, they are probably now among the longest serving Premiership managers, that might give you some clue as to why they have achieved so much also why they are among the longest serving premiership managers.....

11 othe clubs in the Premiership go precisely nowhere every season, with longer traditions than us there's only one set of cunts who think they have a divine right to be moving forward true

We'll not go down, this is just about the about the pishest premier league, quality-wise yet. We're 'upper' bottom half standard but thats about it. Still shite though

Glen........its not my chicken Glen........i'm not making excuses, but i've got a lot of chickens out injured
