OK, am doing this non article (as proved by M ILF) due to the indisposition of NSR and against the advice of one BOSS Saffer......
League Cup - what is called this year???? Could end up 0-0 or 5-5. After a reasonable run last year and only going out to the champions of the old Soviet.....sorry England, we seemed to implode after that and every match thread I did, threw us into a deeper and deeper abyss which of course culminated in that glorious defeat against Reading on the final day...
Tonight should see some of the non-starters from Saturday start -Bent and Grant will start with some of the younger fringe players joining in.
Do we want to win? Do we want to lose (honourably of course)? Is this a bind on our time? Should we concentrate on the League? Should we have Joey Barton?
I will give you the team news when I have finished my dinner

Think we all knew it would take a few games for the squad to gel and for them to find the best system?

Paul was angry.
Hope it was a long journey home and he banned, radio, headphones and all mobiles where in the boot.
And let's watch the match on repeat.

That's not a question? Unless you're an Australian? In which case, lolz about the cricket?

Pompey had 14 new players over the summer. Didn't seem to take them long to gel, click or whatever.

Steve McLaren lost our Team Spirit in March and we've never fount it since then.
You will not win much without Team Spirit. Fact!

You're right, but we changed almost everything this summer, except the daft name of the stadium. Give it just a little more time

Team spirit comes from winning not the other way round
