CB Fry

They've bought him for the long term/not settled yet/you wait until next season FFS etc.

.....according to one boy on a message board. Tottenham finishing below us in one season doesn't stop them being Tottenham and far bigger than us.

Fear one man, nutjobs. One man. Paul Sturrock.

"Probably are slightly bigger" to quote fully. A few years back when they won the league cup I remember thinking what a small fry no-mark team they were going for tin pot trophies like that. It was then I knew how much bigger than them we are.

Isn't 7th at Christmas an improvement then? We were 17th or something last Christmas.

Stick to Groundhog Day.

Not creating much of a goal threat in one game and being described as "gutless up front" are two different things. Have to say I haven't seen or heard any saying anything remotely like we are gutless up front but obviously three people on one stream yesterday obviously did. Obviously.

OP: Out of interest, which commentators has said we are "gutless up front"? Just one or two of the "several" would be great.

We're clear of relegation now, unless you seriously think we are incapable of gleaning 16 points from our next 27 games. And personally would have taken a petering out if it meant we had our second major trophy of the modern era. Oh well.

A cast iron guarantee of never being booed, or seeing fans walking out. What an opportunity for the lad.

Spurs sniffing around Fonte? Source?

Whereas what you wanted him to say was just because AL had one good game he is now the first man on the plane for Rio? Adam is an outsider for the squad. That's true. I don't understand where we get these forum contributors from.

Sorry, Tim Vickery has been written off as a clueless idiot by this forum when he refused to accept the official SWF position that Gaston was the second coming of Pele after we signed him. There was a thread kinda like this one about it IIRC.

Got to say that is a riveting post from you. Well done, as always. I think you are not familiar with the "crazy quest" non fiction genre pioneered by the likes of Gorman, Hawks and Wallace. Can't say I am a massive fan but at I get the concept. But I am thoroughly enjoying your high court judge-style "well why didn't he just look in yellow pages" literal approach to it all. But yeah, I'm boring. Hats off.

There's no hysterics from me mush. Lord D "He doesn't deserve a book as much as our autograph people" Waaah. He's written a book, not been given one. The old women are the berks desperately scouring the internet for anything vaguely connected to Pompey to get upset about. LOL.

Let's file that one under "let's get upset about this because there is the tiniest connection to Portsmouth", then. As far as Dave Gorman style quest books go, it sounds like a nice concept. The cultural history of the football sticker book is a rich enough seam to mine. If he was a Grimsby fan I suggest there would be slightly less outrage on here.

Big Cleverley fan, eh? Don't really see it personally.

No he wasn't and no he wasn't.

He spent more than that for a start (£2m on Quashie etc) but not to excess, because we had a Chairman that wouldn't let him do his usual and he hated it. We "ended up" where we did because of Wilde/Burley spendng all the family silver on a tilt at promotion that we blew. And our response to being skint was Poortvliet. Apart from getting us relegated of course (when we should never have gone down) we can't blame HR for all our subsequent ills.

Martin Allen as head coach. The lads need a bit of passion.

95% of the new revenue will come from selling plain red shirts to the Orientals. Oh, they love a red shirt them Orientals.

Jesus. I think this is voices in your head. Keep clutching Strawlock.

Absolutely no idea what this post is supposed to mean, Strawlock.

They probably haven't got over that miserable "hollow" feeling they had from winning a major trophy.

I, for one, am looking forward to a rimming from The Guardian shortly.
