Pretty sure that isn't every single manager that has ever been sacked after playing WBA.

100% this. Just pointless confirmation bias.

My prayers were answered then.

I've voted for every nomination with my name in. Lots of Noms but I feel I won't win anything, making me the forum Craig David. Again.

Are we playing Aussie rules football now?

Thank god you posted those videos up MLG.

Can you point to where the Kick It Out campaign state that they feel Clark Carlisle requires no medical support and can be cured entirely through prayer? Show me the quote. Don't ever think you can give me a rebuttal you fu cking autistic.

You have excelled yourself on this thread MLG and managed to position yourself as more of fu cking idiot than I already had you down as. How's your letter of complaint to Kick It Out coming along? Don't forget to share it with us.

You seem to be confusing prayer with asking a genie for three wishes. Prayer can be a huge comfort for people and a chance for reflection and to give thanks.

There's a little coterie of Ched Evans sympathisers on this forum, in fairness. She was asking for it m'lud. And he's still appealing it so he probably will get cleared of all the charges or something. And anyway, we've all done it when we've had a few beers, ain't we lads? etc. Pompey fans don't have the monopoly on Ched - related tw attery.

The players could welcome him with a little guard of honour.

Oh yes. They've owned him all along according to forum legend.

My all time favourite forum bulls hit myth. Well, that and "we would have definitely gone out of business forever without Markus".

So we're fifth at Christmas, and we've all sat back enviously as Gaston has rejuvenated Hull City to untold new heights in his time there. Where do people think we would be in the league if we still had him in the squad? I'm a pessimist, but I'd suggest eight points clear at the top. What do other people think?

We're fifth at Christmas. When are we allowed to get carried away, because it isn't really ever going to be much better than that.

Ten Richard Chaplows on the pitch and we'd walk this league.

Clearly not "touch and go", nowhere near that. If Arsenal (or Barcelona) rock up with £25m he would go, but that's more than incredibly unlikely. He's here until the summer.

Or not.

You don't see much, then. How do you think our huge transfer fees come about?

The weird thing is, with all the players out this weekend we have suddenly become a bad team overnight. But if Lawro has faith in us, I just gotta believe.

Stop ruining his fun. I think this one is one of Batman's finest "everyone's a hypocrite" incredulous routines. I can see he is proud of it. Pochettino and Koeman had exactly the same approach to the League Cup at Saints, exactly the same. Honest they did.

Well, they'll be 28,000 Saints fans at St Marys on Saturday which no doubt will be a bubbling cauldron of non stop throat ripping deafening song after deafening song in every seat in the stands, from the first kick to the bitter end, win or lose. We're famed for it.

So now we're on to supporters of other clubs. Well done. Personally I think the drab atmosphere cam be explained and really not all that surprising. But you want to act all shocked and appalled, fill your boots. After all, we have such a world famous reputation for the rollicking noisy passion of our fans when we are playing terribly so your horror is understandable.

Not seen The Sun or the Daily Mail recently, then?

No. I'll stand by that all day long. Smaller hardcore away followings will make more noise than massive followings. One of the factors that explain our weak support on Tuesday.
