We'll beat Stoke next week and come in twelfth, which will be taken by the m-boarders as "proof" of us finishing tenth, and we will conclude that we are the most exciting, revolutionary, youngest, most dynamic football glory machine in Europe managed by world football's most outstanding managerial talent and we will be top six next season easy easy easy. Please expand the stadium.

The FA do not run the Premier League. Why on earth do people still think this?

Cup win all day long.

Overall control? The FA still do concentrate on the Cup and the England team. And the amateur game stuff. What else do you think they are doing?

Fancy supporting a team whose rise through the lower divisions to the Premier League was subsidised by a rich benefactor. I couldn't possibly begin to imagine how terrible and wrong that would feel.

Not really driven by Fergie though, was it?

You're not wrong. Pearson's Leicester could end up as the new Stoke, grinding their way to twelfth. Just what BT and Sky pumped several trillion quid into the league for. Mouth-watering stuff.

Why wouldn't Leicester make a go of it? As a club and city they are as big as we are, and they have decent, if not megamega-rich owners.

Being that you didn't even understand the ad in your response to it (it clearly isn't about Pompey being on TV) I wouldn't play the "completely going over your head" card with me sunshine. :Itsadisgrace:

Which makes them completely unique among fans of lower league football clubs in the UK. Completely unique.

Open goal, well taken.

...and if Pompey announced an initiative like that, it would get :facepalm:ed within two posts of it going up on here.

Its not an irony though, is it. Its a lower league club trying to get parents to bring their kids along for some "real" football at their local club. It would be far more ironic if we used the same line to get kids to come to SMS.

This sanctimonious "it's a disgrace" :facepalm:ing only makes my original point even more valid. Your line about "how dare they use a line from a charity ad" is probably my current favourite example of PTS frothing at the mouth. Absolutely hilarious. And nice little soundbites, based on a great little insight, does go a long way to making "good marketing". So there. :[anything and everything Pompey ever do ever again] is a disgrace: :fu ckwits:

I know everyone on here wants to facepalm everything Pompey ever do from now until the end of time, but that is a nice little ad and a good message. Facepalm the :facepalm:ers.

As a kid, I can remember watching that FA Cup semi with Liverpool in 92 or whenever it was. And I definitely wanted Pompey to win. It helped thay I despised Liverpool but I had no malice towards Pompey at all.

If he is, he's made for life: six year deal!

How about any industry that makes, sells, buys or offers services in any single facet of human life?

Does that even qualify as a point? Sounds like nonsense to me. Oh well.

Sorry, you've lost me. Maybe I've joined this thread too late. QPR have been down for weeks and aren't going to get 37 points. Top line remains that 37 points may well be enough.

No idea what you're on about. You're obviously wrong as Wigan might not get another point. That scenario is quite likely to be honest.

Good luck finding that quote. Or anything remotely like it. Not like you to be embarrassingly wrong. Oh, it is.

Um, I know.

Laughable. Written by a man who put ten quid on West Ham to go down to prove someone on the internet wrong.

This is how he's going to do it, out of the blue, at the end of a successful season. Hello Jose.
