And why not..? The bloke was brought up in Titchfield, and still lives there. He is also honest in his reviews. I've just watched the highlights of Watford v Saints and Lambert's screamer into the opposite corner was a beautiful goal. You dream about scoring goals like that, because it requires so much technique and skill. And Rickie made it look easy. Claridge loved it every bit as much as I did, and probably more because he probably appreciated even more. But I reckon Steve's becoming a fan. And who can blame him..?
He didn't use to like us, we've won him over this season. I must admit, I don't find him as irritating as I used to.
I believe other strikers have a slightly better ratio, in the short term, but 80 goals in 139 games [effectively 3 seasons] is bloody amazing.
Good day for ex-Saints and Saints loanees too, with both Blackstock and Forte on the scoresheets in one goal margin wins for their teams.
Don't underplay Dexter's contribution - took the sting out of Brum's recent charge and help secure Pompey's place in the bottom 3. What a good day!
Like any sensible person he is preparing for life after PoorOldPompey (everyone say aagh as if someone has just said their cat has died).
As much as I don't want to like him. I find his assessments honest and positive. I think he has been to St Mary's this season more than some on this forum
