You're going to have to change the first sentence what with Pompey being in the Premiership
Or alternatively, you could take this out of Peer Review until the end of May next year, when the statement will again ring true

Yeah I know that - about to celebrate its first birthday isn't it? - but when it hits the Front Page it will have that day's date on it. And as such you are just *bound* to get some Pompey fan turn up and complain about it
Oh, and I suppose I ought to go back and read a bit more than just the first paragraph if I'm going to do my Scout duty properly...

I don't know, I'm not sure Í can be bothered to find out about inconsequential football teams Seriously, I've always had a bit of a soft sport for the Saints.
Now for a spot of going through the entry...
I always have the feeling that 'at the time of writing' is always asking for the future to come and slap you in the face... any way around it?
Have they *always* played in a red and white striped strip? I've no idea - but if they have, tell us - if they haven't, tell us when they adopted it.
The Early Years bit could do with a little spicing up, I reckon - it's a big block of text right now that's long on facts and short on entertainment... what would you think about splitting it up a bit and chucking a few more names in there?
The nineties were a somewhat less successful period for the club - yes, but tell us why! Who's responsible?
If you're mentioning being ManUre's bogey team, how about a shout for Ferguson's grey shirts excuse? There can't be many teams that have made one of football's largest corporations abandon an entire product line...
FAMOUS SAINTS - A few coupla typos in here... Veneables > Venables, Gasgoine > Gascoigne.
The Mick Channon bit could also do with a little bit extra - at the moment it's a bit stat-heavy - you could mention his famous windmilling arm goalscoring celebration, the fact he was Keegan's England room-mate, or that he's one of a very limited number of footballers to have made himself another career outside the game, as a very successful racehorse trainer.
"All statistics accurate to August 2003." - why not omit that part and let <./>Feedback-Editorial</.> know when anything changes once this is in the EG?
The Brazilian Connection - Just one more typo - Rivelinho > Rivelino
Final thought - might the club stats section be better-placed somewhere else? Up to you.

seems mostly alright to me, was just thinking, could you add a bit more about their ground? And i was concerned about the Sub-Header 'The Recent Years' because they wont stay recent for too long.

Yes, manys the time I've sat bemused as Coventry and Southampton fans stood shouting "Your going down !" at each other.
Surely MacNemenememinemeny deserves a mention ?

Let us know when you've made the amendments, UH.
There are some typos, eg 'gorund' > ground
and some stuff needing capitals, like brazilian > Brazilian (there are a few such in the entry.

Have you pointed out that LeTiss has a bar near the new ground named after him? Btw, St Mary's is one of the best away grounds I've been to.
