Hi everyone! from a damp east coast. Haven't been on here much in the last two days. That's due to a house full of visitors, two of whom are Pompey followers (spit). All the more galling as they are from Southampton. They are here till tomorrow. I listened to the game, with headphones on yesterday, in deference to their feelings, after all I wouldn't like to be forced to hear a skate commentary. However Guly near gave my guests massive heart attacks, by scoring late on, and yours truly screaming YES YES YES at the top of my voice, whilst they were taking a nap in the conservatory Our squad is getting depleted, we are losing one a game. Barnard is the latest victim, and it seems he is out for the rest of the season. Connolly is an ideal replacement, but given his track record, there is no guarantee he'll last the rest of the games. Jahidi is also feeling the pace, and showing signs of breaking down. Quick breakfast for me before they all get up..toast and tea

Morning all. Beautiful day here again. F1 on the box. So, what's the verdict on Adkins' two signings Forte and N'Guessan? It seems Forte missed a few sitters yesterday, which may back up the idea that his football brain is not what it might be as suggested on here the other day. BBQ again today with big fat steaks. The key is not to overcook the buggers.

Morning My Beauties
Bloody torture yesterday afternoon but we got the 3 points. TBBM was bitching about Guly all match, calling for him to be substituted. At least he STFU when the Brazillian scored the winner.
I doubt Connolly has the legs to play full games but his appearances from the bench will cause 3rd tier players lots of problems they won't solve. Great shame his time here has been blighted by injury because he is clearly a class player.
If Barny is out for the season I'd start Guly alongside SRL. We have plenty of people capable of playing wide and getting in crosses, but Guly has proved time and time again his real value is when he is in and around the box.
If we get Adam back we will deffo get 2nd. Without him it will be a bit harder but still very do-able.
Waiting for GP to start. Not sure Vettel driving away from the rest will be very inspiring but Webber's Red Bull starting among the back markers ought to make for interesting viewing.
Well done Man City. Well done Graham Alexander. Well done Cardiff City. Just need the Goolies to see off the Scousers today and keep the Prem alive for another week.
There will be bacon sarnis. BREAKFAST FACT.

Good morning all Lovely sunny start here in Beastleigh. Sat having my second coffee while peace reigns. JrRags will be round in a while and I think we are going into West Quay so he can spend some of my cash for me. He's very good like that. He has his eye on some trainers in Schuh so that will cost me. I wonder where he gets his trainer fetish from? ;D I don't think I was as nervous as most yesterday, I just didn't think Brizzle would score for some reason. Having said that I am glad that I'll be away for the next two games and will only be able to check the result, I couldn't handle listening to miserable Merrington at this stage of the season.

I wouldn't say Forte missed sitters but on another day could have had a hatfull Gully missed the easier chances IMO Does anyone know what happened to Lallanna , not even on the bench and greatly missed

The key is not to overcook the buggers. I thought Forte was better when he got going yesterday. He certainly has pace to burn and looks like he plays better running onto balls and using his pace/power rather than having to get himself going when he has to think about it too much.

morning all, i didn't enjoy yesterdays game at all until the final whistle, then it cheered me up somewhat. anyone know what barney's injury was from? i too thought testicles had a bad day yesterday but i might forgive him (for a change) for that moment of brilliance. i don't care if he scores when I've been slagging him off just as long as he does score!
i am worried about the increasingly threadbare nature of the squad too, let's hope we get some surprises with unexpectedly available players before seasons end?

Morning all.
I can't stand Guly but it was a great goal. We can't rely on him to come up with one of those every game though.
When's Lallana back? Why did he play 20 minutes on Tuesday at 2-0 if he wasn't fit? I thought Mr Adkins used to be a physio.

G'day m'beauties
Sussex(E) is lovely and sunny .... the grass needs me so a-mowing I will go.
Another 3 pointer - the team worked hard but Div 3 football (and referees) .... dear oh dear. Please let us get out of it this year!
I think I managed a pic of Yates and Crash from my pitchside vantage point - I'd better download pics from my phone and zoom in to find out.
Friends are popping around later - other than that a leisurely day.
Have a good day, y'all

Morning all, bright and sunny here;
Still a housefull of girlies here, but at least I got to see the photos of the night; glad in someways that I was round a mate's and had a bit of peace though.
Well yesterday was a bit of a nailbitier, but I agree that I didn't think we were in any danger, it was just whether we could overcome the pressure and hit the net. thank fook for Goolies, the goal looks even better on the replay. Shame about Barney, he'll be a big miss, but hopefully Goolie/Connolly with fill his boots somehow. I thought Forte had quite a good game, tho as above he's better in motion and not thinking; I was a bit surprised he was pulled off (ooer). Still a nice day out, and nice to see Rags; shame the Alf had shut their outside bit, tho.
Better get on and make some brekkie, just tea and Rocky Road so far...

Morning all, bright and sunny here so I have just spent the last hour reading my book in the garden. My wireless connection doesn't seem to reach into the garden, so I had to put my iPad down and read a book instead of trawling the Internet. Oldskool fact, and I don't regret it.
Watching the match via the medium of the BBC website was a bit of a curate's egg to be honest. My celebrations for us scoring were quickly tempered by the fact that Huddersfield and Peterborough both scored their winners at almost exactly the same time. In one refresh of the screen, all three scores were updated and lo and behold every team in the top 7 had won. Im guessing that is something that doesn't happen too often.
Today will involve a nice pub lunch followed by an early night in preparation for a big week at work for both me and MrsB. Lots to do before taking a long weekend down in Salcombe, and Ive even managed to persuade MrsB that we should go to the Monday match on the way home. I lured her by telling her that it would be our promotion party. Now we just need our boys to do the biz against Brighton and it could set up a Monday celebration. Both pretenders have tough fixtures next Friday, particularly the Udders. If we pull off victory at Brighton (which I believe we will) and the McDons perform at home, then Udders game against D&R on Monday becomes an absolute must win otherwise they are pretty much out of the race.
Ps.

A late good morning from me.
Sunny, warm, pleasant in North Wiltshire.
A few match related comments - When Barney went down injured Forte limped to the touchline and was involved in a long conversation with Adkins and Crosby. It came as no surprise at all when he was subbed. Yet another injury then. I thought he had a good game TBH. As did KeepEmGuessing when he came on. Connolly was outstanding though. Sheer class. MoM for me was Fonte. Absolutely immense and made countless telling stops when he was on his own between Davis and everyone else. Stephens was good and looks very comfortable on the ball. Our midfield pair of Stephens and Hammond were overrun by Brizzol's packed midfield, but they stuck to the task and kept chipping away at them.
On reflection it was an intriguing battle. We were beating them down the flanks, but they were in control of the middle. Still the right team won.
Bloody brilliant Chinese GP. I spent most of it shouting at the TV, to the amusement of MrsC. Stunning drives from Hamilton and the Aussie hardman!
Right into the sunshine.
The benefit of our large squad is now beginning to tell with those injuries coming thick and fast.

Bugger missed morning. Been out practising with the band, it was most enjoyable.
We won yesterday, that's all that matters.
Apparently I'm an idiot.
