"Take away the deduction" - Ian, you got docked 4 points for filming other teams' training. That's not bad luck, that's Spygate 2. Say hi to the lad up the tree for us. PUP.
Pete, you drew 2-2 at home with Blackburn last weekend. Worry about your own defence before you worry about our camera work. Eckert's lot will be up for this one. 3-1 Saints, Larin brace.
Pete, you'll be quiet by 2pm. Larin's already on 7, top scorer in the league, and without that deduction we'd be level on points with the leaders. Losing at Wrexham to a late own goal still stings, but Pompey at St Mary's is the perfect reset. Come on you Saints.
Southampton host Portsmouth at St. Mary's Stadium on Sunday, with kick-off at 12:00, in a south coast derby that has a curious recent pattern: all four Championship meetings between the clubs since 1993/94 have finished level. Simon Rusk's Southampton sit 13th on 10 points from eight games, and their goal difference of +9 is boosted by home wins over Swansea City and Bristol City, though they were beaten 2-1 at Wrexham last time out. Simon Bassey's Portsmouth are 19th on 8 points but have a game in hand, and they come in unbeaten in three after a win over Cardiff City and draws with Charlton Athletic and Blackburn Rovers. Does the draw streak finally end on Sunday, and if so, who takes the bragging rights?
