    Emile Heskey at his best was virtually unplayable. I doubt any defence ever relished having to deal with him.

    This was Emile Heskey in his later years. Beyond that, whatever qualities the trio might bring, the frightening bit is when they get within 30 yards of the opposing goal. Prolific, they were not.

    Ask Michael Owen who he likes playing up front with. A striker who could hold the ball up.

    Yes, I was going through the list of PL refs the other day and noticed how many were from Lancashire and Yorkshire. Made me think of the film Kes, and Brian Glover, for some reason. Out of the entire list I think there are about 3-4 refs south of Birmingham. Gets a bit more rounded when you add the FL, but it's still north weighted.

    High Court injunction as being seen in a Pompey shirt could damage your family life.

    But not when you are wearing it....unless the shame is intolerable.

    I can believe that, in both home games against Liverpool this season, in which they scored 8 goals, we had lots of the ball, but they seemed to score every time we lost it!

    So do I, unusually for a Saints Academy player who left for more money. The main reasons being that he speaks very articulately and passionately about football, and he normally has a good word to say for Saints.

    Everton seem to be playing at least 1,000,000% better than they did on Saturday.
