Pamplemousse Posted 17 January, 2017 Share Posted 17 January, 2017 I miss those days. I spent the hours in between lectures at university browsing this thread. The numerous court proceedings, along with the Pompey News webchats, were superb fun. I kind of want them to get a couple of promotions and then for it to go wrong again. The only thing missing is a victory against them. 12 years and counting, that's half my lifetime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 18 January, 2017 Share Posted 18 January, 2017 Pompey fans on twitter getting excited because they've signed (another) striker from Hampton and Richmond “Coming from non-league and now signing for a club like Pompey, life’s going to completely change. “I’ve quit my job as a car salesman after four years and I will be moving down to the area. “Playing in front of 17,000 people will be the strangest thing. I’ve seen it on TV, but it’s not until I’m out there and am able to soak in the atmosphere for myself first-hand that it will all sink in. Mention how big the club is, check Mention the famous atmosphere, check No mention of how the fans are the best in the country though, so he still has a bit to learn.

Chez Posted 20 January, 2017 Share Posted 20 January, 2017 (edited) Please tell me they have signed: "You know Paul, playing for Portsmouth is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. First, compliment the old lady excessively on the size of her fan base. Once you've been selected, be prepared to give that fan base a good hard sucking so as to ensure that she is a little more forgiving when you prove to be less than cable when performing. It's critical to find a goal quickly. This lady can be very impatient, so be prepared for your confidence to be dented should you fail to offer much penetration. If things do go well you will probably start thinking about a more an attractive alternative. At that point, its best to pull out as quickly as possible. Don't worry, that smell will eventually rub off." Edited 20 January, 2017 by Chez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one shrewd observer noted, however, it’s the sort of conditions which create a self-fulfilling environment for the striker." It gets better.....

Reports of booing as the player took to the pitch in the second half are indefensible, however.

Peter McGuigan says the meeting involved board members and the club's former co-chairman - Qatari businessman Abdulrahman Al Hashemi. Mr McGuigan says the club's board is still trying to resolve serious financial issues since a takeover in September by the Brazilian businessman Diego Lemos. Yesterday it emerged that Joseph Cala had ended his interest in taking over the League Two club. Not Joseph Cala of the infamous pompey underwater casino fame? Lucky Morcambe!
