    How football finances work

    http://www.evertonfc.com/evertoninteractive/where-the-money-goes An incredibly detailed account of how Everton's finances work according to their CEO - essentially, the only way Everton have been able to remain as competitive as they have is through loans and investment into the club coupled...

    Historical Ranking Tables

    Equally dubious, but we're above Pompey. Historical tables show details for all clubs ever to have played in the English football league since its inception in 1888. Club names have been changed to their current name where appropriate. Unless otherwise stated, points are given as defined in...

    Article: Offside!!

    It doesn't have to be the GK+1? My interpretation is that if the opposing GK is off somewhere upfield, there need to be two outfield players playing you onside... is that right?!

    Burnley local paper article

    http://www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/football/burnley-fc/talking_tactics_attack_minded_saints_a_threat_1_3800455 A veryinteresting and complementary analysis and accurate in some areas, but I feel it doesn't really portray how the main strength in our attack is variety and flexibility...

    Tv or Internet feed for todays game.......

    If there's somebody in the world that's officially showing the game live, you will normally be able to find a free stream on the internet. However, if it's not being shown by anyone as I believe is the case for the Saints game (would be highly surprised if a European station was covering...

    Small Merry Band

    Nothing to do with the thread, but this is the 666th thread on the Pompey board. Thought it worth a mention!

    Make the ultimate southampton player out of past or present saints players.

    I bumped into that guy once on the way to St Marys - he asked me if I recognised him - I said no, to which he visibly perked up! Bless.

    Birmingham Game Moved

    I have sympathy as this sort of thing has happened to me but, did you not see this coming?? Europa League has been on Thurs for years...your chances were only slightly better than 50-50!! Hope you get your refund, at least it wasn't Travelodge, they're awful and no chance of a refund! Premier...

    Lets all laugh at Chamberlain

    He's almost certainly had relentless pressure from his dad, the press and his agent to make this move, and I actually respected the fact that he tried to be honest in the press rather than coming out with the usual garbage about loyalty etc etc when we (should) all know how rare loyalty actually...

    Story time

    ....at which point I did a double take and realised the workplace kitchen wasn't really big enough for a log fire...still, thought could put it to good use and make my own pizza out of used dot matrix printouts...

    Article: Referees and the FA | Football, Leicester

    Hi, Saints fan in peace - Interesting read... Difficult to judge if referees are getting worse but this weekend watching the Prem and Championship highlights I've seen 6 or 7 bad decisions for penalties/red cards including tackles that clearly won the ball, tackles that were dubious as to...

    Powerless

    As a Saints fan, I've just watched the highlights and if Paul Jewell knew anything about football or Peterborough United there's no way he would have played such a high line with such slow centre backs. Same thing happened four times over before any significant change in approach. I don't know...

    Saints v Millwall

    That's what I said ;)

    Saints v Millwall

    I think Millwall will score at least once and it will be from a set piece. Darius Henderson is on fire at the moment. Apart from that I think we should be able to contain them as Dany N'Guessan looks about their most creative player at the moment! Trotter's looking good too but I'm optimistic...
