Yes, and our last 15 results is around 1.3 points per game, not the European form needed to generate a further 20 points from now. And my point around the last three games is that spirited performances/didn't we do well against the big teams don't actually equate to many points. We were doing "didn't we do well against the big team but never mind" in August. Thanks for making my point for me.

Good for us. Both of those stats are nearer to 1.3 points a game. ie not European form. Last three games 0.6 points per game.

Correct. And we are simply not going to win all our crunch games either - the QPRs Readings etc. We're going to lose some. We just will. Think we'll stay up and finish bottom five. Which is fine.

Was it? Didn't JJ stay at Pompey of his own accord? And the Harry/Jordan relationship wasn't "a thing" back then. He had Jim and Bond. So I think this is hindsight rather than a mistake Lowe made.

20 more points from 13 remaining games is European form. Good luck with that.

Obviously not. Nice try.

TDD seems to be mixing up "favourite" with "greatest ever". Bless him.

I know loads of Reading fans who would definitely go to the Madjeski now, but most think they probably wouldn't get a ticket so don't bother trying. A 38,000 seater stadium would see them flooding in. But only at £12 a seat though. Well, they might pay £18 for a really good spot.

Straight out of the Cult of Cortese myth manual. It's like the club is being run by L Ron Hubbard.

No they haven't.

No chance. He won't walk out on Derby to go to Forest. Keep your money in your pocket.

I'm not against stadium expansion sweetheart.

...its a personal issue he's playing out in public....how terrible... Cortese is a pri ck and MLT well within his rights to say so. Go on TDD, accuse me of "hating" him again...."hating" a beloved, err, Chairman of a football club. Because everyone loves chairmen of football clubs don't they. Thats why we all love the sport. For the chairmen. You're the king of the boo-hoo brigade at the moment. Waaaaaaaah.

Oh no. Someone said something about Cortese. Thats going to "harm the club" and no mistake. Boo hoo.

Franks Cousin does not work at the club. Hope that helps you.

Whatever. He's scoped out a load of nonsense as "making financial sense" and "not being as ridiculous as some are making out". You can get all semantic about it but if he didn't think it should or could happen then maybe just not bother discussing it at all.

I think you'll find they do charge an extra couple of quid in the Emirates too. You'll notice they didn't spend that money on a stadium and then slash prices to League One levels, which is what our premium business brain is recommending.

Twice as good as before? Really? Can't quite see it yet. We did well against Wigan for a half, but we've had equally good halves of football under Adkins. And we still let in two very sloppy goals. We haven't collapsed/imploded with the new manager, which was the main fear, but really I don't think you can say we're already twice as good under MP.

The main difference is the yid thing is intrinsically linked to Spurs, and not just Arsenal fans but all London clubs (and other clubs) give them yid related stick. Saints and scummers is not quite the same. Fans of other clubs might sing "you're just a small town in portsmouth" but I can't recall any of them ever calling us "Scummers", except Pompey and wannabe Pompey-fans, hello Bournemouth. But as you say, let people sing it if they want to.

They won't have a freaking clue what we would be singing about. And it doesn't really make sense considering Pompey's current plight and our current superiority, all a bit weird really, but hey, who cares. It's noise. I'm hopefully going to the Norwich game, and if they start singing it, I'll probably join in despite it being sh ite.

Agree with this. I've lived and worked in various spots accross the midlands and work with people from all over. Never once have I heard anyone mention Saints=Scummers. Quite the opposite really - my two brothers and all my non-forum Saints supporting friends call Pompey scum and never use the Skate thing. My bros both think the Skate name is lame as fu ck and not actually "real". They're right. It's just some toss from the Ugly Inside fanzine which has stuck on webforums and now journos use it. Pompey=Scum. So, Skates is bulls hit, like no one really calls Sunderland "the black cats" except reporters. Anyway, scummers is complete generic term. Ask Watford/Luton fans.

Top ten maybe. Can't see him scoring another eighty. If we remain in the Prem that would take him at least four full seasons. Probably five or six. Still a Saints legend to me and the hero of this generation. Lallana, Ramires and the rest have to go some to match up.

You're not wrong. West Ham are staying up. Just like Man United.

Really sad news. I love Five Live and he was one of the many voices of knowledge and enthusiasm that really make that station. And gone at fifty. Terrible stuff.
