Saints Stuff

Pompey fans unhappy about playing U23 sides in the JPT Cup (or whatever its called now). I have some sympathy....we really enjoyed our cup run. However, there is no guarantee that an Academy side will win it. Not sure if we have made up our mind to enter it yet. Apparently the prize money has been doubled to get the League clubs to agree to it.

I have full sympathy. It shouldn't be done.

Again apologies if seen before. This is the article in the Telegraph that the Echo lifted Fonte's comments from (before the Poland game). Starts with Fonte's close relationship with Ronaldo (get in his ear about Saints, Jose. I may learn to like him if he played for us :)). At the end is a piece about the people who have influenced him in England.
 
Saintsweb! They seem to worry more about dress sense than capability, and so many with the "never heard of him so he can't be any good" persuasion.
