    WBA, if we do get relegated to the championship we will still be two leagues above PFC.
    I presume you are a Pompey fan?
    You do go on the News site and realise that PFC are going to be relegated?
    You do talk an awful lot of rubbish so it is questionable that you are even a football fan. As you do not seem capable of grasping even the rudimentary fact that PFC are a very long way behind Saints in almost every football aspect.
    Still I suppose you have to amuse yourself somehow, can't be a lot of fun being a Skate fan.
    WBA.Must be just a coincidence that the initials stand for a team that colaborated in cheating with the Skunts the year we got relegated. Stands for Well Below Average by the way. A very apt description of both teams though I think Skunt is very appropriate being a shortened version of SKate and -unt as it is. Had to laugh at this idiot stating that they keep winning. For a bunch of tw@ts who rely on their fantastic history so much they don't seem to be able to recall the last 20 games. Come on the judge. Put a fair value on Nottarf and close them down for good. A fair value by the way is any amount slightly in excess of what they can afford."

Pochettino apologises for Clattenburg confrontation

Mauricio Pochettino Mauricio Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino has apologised for storming onto the pitch to remonstrate with referee Mark Clattenburg after his side were held to a goalless draw at Norwich.

Saints played superbly well in the snow and rain at Carrow Road and should have had the game won before Clattenburg awarded Norwich an injury time penalty for a foul by Luke Shaw on Grant Holt.

Saints disagreed with the decision and saw what they perceived to be justice done as Boruc dived to his right to make the save and preserve the point.

After the game Pochettino came onto the pitch to confront Clattenburg but afterwards was repentant.

He said: “I do know that (you shouldn’t go on the pitch) and I apologise.

“Sometimes you can lose control a little but us managers have to control ourselves.

“Sometimes I feel as if I am playing the game as well on the sidelines.”

He added: “I am happy overall with the team’s performance because we regained that fighting spirit that perhaps we lost a little bit against QPR.

“I think my team played better than last week and in the 90th minute before that penalty was given we deserved to be leading the game.

“So my anger was double fold that it shouldn’t have been a penalty and that we should have been up in the game by that time.”
