I think you are correct 92er. Thenodrog, i didn't mean any of my comments to sound malicious by the way, i'm just annoyed at the way Todd has got himself a reputation that always costs the club e.g. if anyone but Todd makes that challenge nothing happens, Todd makes that challenge and he gets a straight red even when he gets something on the ball. We need signings and quick, not panic buys but we just need bodies in that will improve the squad, forget about only improving the starting 11 as at the moment whoever we sign even as a squad player will end up as a starter while the injuries and suspensions are healed/served.

I saw the damm thing on the internet and from what i've seen he may have got a touch on the ball but the fact remains thenodrog we were down to 9 men and until the referee says he were wrong, read it in the newspapers, it will still say red card. So before you go slinging insults around like even associating me with a Talksport presenter, think first! Please. As for Wednesday night, if we line up with Mokoena-Matteo-Jay-Gray we are going to get hammered.

Our ill discipline is a disgrace! Thee is no need for a team on the opening day of the season to have two, yes two centre halves sent off. The back four is going to have to contain some of the the reserves for Wednesday if Nelsen doesn't make it. Anyone fancy going down Brockhall tommorrow with their Shinnys and boots, we might just get a game.

He sent Dickov off on the opening day of last season as well, but that one were justified.

All of our optimism during the off-season seems to have gone...agaun just like last seasons opener. Hopefully the rest of the season will mirror last season if we are looking for omens. Heavy defeat and man off ala West ham away last year. As for todays performance, Sparky needs a good slap for picking the Axe at RB and i am one of those people who thought that Sparky could do no wrong. The axe is not good enough for the Premiership and without Nelsen, Neill and Zurab we are going to be ###### on Wednesday when Beattie and Johnson come to town. If kanu can have his way with out defence what is Shevchenko going to do in 8 days time?

Lets just face it, with the injuries and suspensions we already had and now the Lucas suspension to it, we will be lucky to have a point by the time we play Sheff United on Sept 9th. We need Nelsen, Tugay and Zurab back asap otherwise we are going to be in a position that we will struggle to catch up with the fast starters for European football.

Well i did have a bad feeling about this game and from what i've seen thus far we have been crap!

The axe at RB doesn't fill me with much confidence either, Pompey are a lot better side than their position showed last season. It could be a dissapointing start to the season for us today with the injuries we have and the 3-match ban to Tugay.

I don't mind the home team keeping all the money when we play away and as for t.v. rights i don't mind them as they are, the best teams should get the money as in reality to be the top side you kind of have to play entertaining football of some sort if you get what i'm on about . Watford will probably finish bottom this season, play very crap football and be shown on t.v very few times whereas Chelski will be on at least 10+ times in the league, play soem attractive football with great players like Ballack and Shevchenkjo on display and as such they should get more than a side like Watford IMO the league should be left as it, if its not broke why fix it? If your on about ideas though Pl project how about a league draft, were everyteam every 5 seasons has to put all of its players in a draft and they have to sign for the team there drawn as playing for.Very similar to a Fantasy draft as in NBA/NFL/NHL video games, some people will know what i'm on about. For one second i am not suggestung that this should be implemented or even thought of a serious idea for the future, but he did ask for ideas of how it could be made more competitive. Could you just imagine Shevchenko being drafted to Reading or Rooney to Rovers lol.

The first day of the Premiership season, the xmas fixtures and the last few games of the season are what make the Premiership so interesting simply because of the hopes and expectations in each and every fan at those points either come true or all hope is quashed by another team. On any given day most sides in the Premiership can beat each other minus the top 4 who when on an off day are easily playable and beatable.

Hopefully you are right tchocky. If we get three players in before deadline day whether on loan or on a permanent basis i'll be quite happy. I am so glad Morten has kept his number 12 shirt, i might look a prat with my Pedersen away shirt instead of Gamst but at least i've got the correct number I'll just have to get Gamst on my home shirt instead.

Please take him on a permanent deal, the lads got pace but nothing else. He hardly set the world alight when he were playing for nobbenders in Preston so i don't think he'll be up to much for the nt so mighty Wolves.

In a word no!!!

I thought he'd recovered from that ankle injury he picked up at Oxford a week or two back?

I think we all know Todd has a few agression problems IMO a la Wayne Rooney. i'm not making no comparison as in ability but just in the way that they can lose their rag very easily and do something stupid like poking a Kiwi in the eyes or standing on someones nuts ala Rooney. I would be very suprised if we see Todd starting many games this season as if we bring in Ooijer we'd have Neill & Nelsen as our first choice partnership with Zurab as a possibility from the bench and not many managers place to centre halves on the bench these days do they? If Neill decides he will see out this season, Todds days may be numbered IMO as a Rovers player.

I think we'll get a bit of a shock on Saturday getting beaten after taking the lead in a 2-1 defeat thanks to our shoddy defending as seen this pre-season in places. We aren't always the best starters toa season and again i think this could be one again. Pompski IMO are going to be the dark horses of this season, nobody expects too much but with players like Campbell and Mendes they could provide a few head turning moments this coming season. Prediction Pompey 2 Rovers 1 Scorers Pompey-Mendes/Lua Lua Rovers -Benni i hate to start a new campaign with such a crap prediction but i just got a feeling that we aren't going to be as strong at the back as we've been last season mainly due to Admiral being injured, neill having his own mini-drama and Todd not being the same player of early last season.

I'm getting my new home Shirt on Friday when i get paid. I've had no problems with my home or away shirts in the last few seasons, my last real problem with a kit was with the AMD Processors logo on the 02/03 kit which fell off around Xmas time. As for this seasons away shirt i ain't washed it yet but after reading some of the posts on here i dare not. lol.

As always Bob a great read!!!!! Very funny as well.

Rovers 0 NZ 1 ...only joking Rovers 4 Nz 1

Can i just ask, can i claim back my bank charges for going overdrawn as i have spent something like £58 in the last two months on this. If i can claim them back will it cost me anything and is there much work to do.

Probably not, we have been on about this for months mate. It would be great if we could sort out a weekly or bi-weekly poker night with some members on here. something to do on the cold winter nights.

Madden 07 comes out on the 25th of August, i confirmed this with Gamestation and Game today as i had to find out if i could get it in time for my dads birthday which is the day later, the 26th. For some reason i am really looking forward to fifa 2007, it said to be PES closest rival yet as in quality not sales according to numerous reviews i have read and as always i'll probably buy both. I'm also looking forward to Smackdown vs Raw 2007 simply because its just one of those games i enjoy playing with the lads with a couple of beers. Senseless violence and alcohol without actually getting hurt...or arrested, who can ask for more lol.

For me it would have to be; Tim Flowers Alan Shearer Graeme 'Sourpuss' Souness Tugs Christian Dailly-just to find out why we ere ripped off for a crap player like him. same for Grabbi, Kevin Davies. Brad Friedel Roy Hodgson(sp)-Love to hear how it all went wrong.

Are routers easy to setup and do you reckon that i'd be able to use an boradband connection from my university accomodation in September to use my 360 online because i don't see much point in me buying a router or cross over cable if i cannot use them there. Thanks for the info anyway Kamy100. EDIT:Would a router allow me to use it as a wireless system if i bought the correct equipment for the 360? Would my PC need to be connected for it to connect to the internet as my modem runs via the USB socket on my PC and if i were to use a crossover cable which seems a lot cheaper after just looking on EBAY, how would i go about setting it all up? Thanks guys!
