A lot of interesting things in there. I particularly like this: “We realised that letting the coaches have full autonomy wasn’t as good a system as having the coach focus on what happens the pitch and a sporting director responsible for player development and a lot of other things,” says Eisner. “On...

The Portsmouth catchment area should surely in theory put us either in mid Premiership or a regular place in the Championship play offs. But in reality there are many examples of population size not being correlated to a particular league. How on earth are Bradford in League2 or say, Burnley (not f...

I get the impression we're looking to emulate Brighton to a certain extent - be a well run club with ambition. I've no idea what the details are about Brighton's finances but they announced a profit recently. I agree that the Premiership is a closed shop for winning things and that's very frustratin...

Trust JM to throw a curved ball be interesting to see how this team shapes up with two key players missing. Pack and Rags absence leaves a big hole but in exchange we’ve got MPH and Tino playing together.Towler has a chance to prove himself. Not sure whether we should call this a weakened team but ...

Have fun all.

A great watch.

Straight into the 3rd round of the FA Cup and no more Bristol Street Pizza Paint Pot Trophy.

Being outpaced has definitely caused us problems this season and there's alot more of it in the Championship.

But I'll go with the "blue army" chant against Oxford. We've had it since but that one was quite moving.

Norris, Rafferty, Raggett, Shaughnessy, Ogilvie, Moxon, Pack (c), Kamara, Saydee, Lang, Bishop

Subs: Macey, Sparkes, Evans, Anjorin, Peart-Harris, Lane, Yengi

Nice...

The least hungover will start. I wonder whether Mousinho will give squad players a run out or field the players who have got us over the line. That is drink related problems taken into consideration. Lane was out of it on Radio Solent on Wednesday evening. Couldn't stop giggling :smt030 Maybe we'll...

The least hungover will start.

Good news. I guess it took us to be promoted for a green light.

It really is needed and has been for a long time - from a supporter and non-supporter POV.
