you have only just accepted it? as a club we dont deserve to be in this league and we wont be come the end of the season.......i hope that i choke to death on my words but i cant see it. i accepted that we were down after the doncaster game and i havnt seen anything so far to change my mind,imo we need 20 points from 15 games and for the life of me i cant see where those points are going to come from. i hope to god that i am wrong but im not a religous man so i doubt he gives a fvck what i hope for.

perhaps he thinks the league table is upside down!

bristol to win 5-2 i will be hoping for a win for us but i will be putting my money on bristol im afraid,the 5-2 is too good for me to resist.

having a laugh with ex pro's nadia? is that with or without baby oil? ;-)

could be :-) if true this seems a farce as we have 2 decent strikers out on loan,it doesnt make sense.....but hey this is SFC we are talking about.

just had a sniff of info that we may be trying to loan a prem striker/striker from a prem club,no names yet. if i find out anymore i will add.

i think it would be a bad idea to throw matty in at the deep end,look how hoddle went from god to the devil at spurs. i like the idea of him being involved perhaps with a very experienced director of footie to oversee him.he would ignite the damp spark that is SFC but i would hate for him to fail.

its about time the echo jumped off of the fence but shouldnt they have done that at the start of the season?

this is completely different from the lawrie mac days,the money pumped into football by sky etc has put the pressure on the clubs and managers. the clubs at the top of the prem have pressure on them to win things,the rest of the prem has the pressure of staying in the league where the money is and the rest of the teams who are not in the prem have the pressure on them to get there. the fans have very little patience because they want their team in the prem where the money is so they can watch the big teams and the best players. the facts are successful managers keep their jobs,but one small hiccup will see them lose their jobs.

didnt he get done for nicking japanese car parts that were wrongly delivered to his house? apparently the delivery driver got confused the delivery address was NISSAN MAINDEALER,SOUTH AFRICA.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......tony adams? ha ha ha ....you want tony adams as our manager? ha ha ha ha ha ha.........no more please! that useless donkey? ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha....no more i cant take it ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha

where do you work? mothercare?

BWP is turning into the next nelson mandela........he just cant stay out of prison.

im obviously not a pompey fan,but if they dont learn from our mistakes then they deserve to go down and i dont wish that misery and the sh1t that follows on anybody....not even the skates.

i think it was probably more of 'if you keep us up i will reward you at the end of the season' type of deal but crouch wasnt able to do that because lowe and wilde took control. it could have even been something to do with the fact that crouch thought he had a takeover deal in the bag and they informed him that they wanted their own man? who knows?.....we never will.

we will be relegated by before our last home game.

crap,what about chelsea? one of the most prosperous parts of the country and they have to compete with how many london clubs?? im sorry i dont buy into this working class crap,if a team is doing well they will attract fans that is why clubs spend so much money and time promoting their corporate days out.the working class supporter is the clubs bread and butter but the real money is in sponsorship and corporate hospitality.we sustained 27 years in the top flight on low crowds,15k for a lot of it.............the bottom line is when we were doing well in the prem we were packing in 30k+ now we are sh1t it has dropped to about half,we have a larger fanbase than pompey and if we were to regain our premiership status we would once again have crowds of 30k unlike pompey who sometimes struggle to fill their 20k allocation and they have just won the fa cup. you are right,this area is not a traditional working class stronghold like maybe newcastle or hull but you could argue that blackburn,one of the most deprived working class areas in the uk should be filling their stadium every week to the rafters but they struggle,and for a long while we were averaging higher crowds than them and we were a championship team. if we are successful we will fill st marys,if we are not then we wont.........it is a hard fact to swallow but most people do not want to watch championship (or lower) football,they have been brainwashed by sky/the media to accept that the premiership is the be all and end all of football in this country.it has nothing to do with class,that disappeared years ago when the FA took sky's silver shilling and i didnt see anybody play the class card when we were in the prem. contrary to popular belief we do have a deep lying tradition towards football in the part of the country 124 years +,longer than a lot of the northern working class clubs you talk about.the underlying problem with football is that unless you are a prem club then you are going to struggle financially and this is all down to sky.even the prem clubs are struggling and they are the ones who are getting all the money........just last week sky announced that they had managed to hold onto the licences to show prem football and who were the first 3 people coming out in public and praising bskyb and saying what a great thing it was for football in this country??................rio ferdinand (120k per week),john terry (120kpw) and our old friend arry redknapp(one of the highest paid managers in the league) surprise,sur - fvcking - prise.......of course they are going to say its good for the game,they are getting most of the money between them. prem club = big crowds,more money,better players,better managers,more media coverage. anything else = fvck all and financial ruin. the reasons we are not pushing to regain our premiership status is that we have been managed badly on and off the pitch since strachan walked out of st marys for the last time.we have had one clueless manager after another handcuffed by financial restraints imposed by the board coupled with experiment after experiment designed to save money but in the long run costing us more than just financial loss.we,the fans have been so battered by knock back after knock back that most have decided to give up and not bother anymore,the ones that decided to stay are so numb that they have given up as well but probably,like myself cannot let go of the hope that things will get better. there are people at this club that overnight are trying to change how proven methods for success in football,methods that have been used for decades are done and it just wont work.......lets say that there is a plumber who has been plying his trade for 30 years in traditional plumbing methods passed down to him by the person who taught him,he takes on an apprentice,the apprentice has only been doing the job for a couple of weeks and he thinks he knows a shortcut so that he doesnt have to do his full apprenticship and will try and change the industryto his way of thinking........it aint going to work,the apprentice will come unstuck and he will end up on his arse. this has been happening at our club for years.....and now it is time to reap the benefits of this shortcutting on the cheap route to success.

it is no secret that the russian crook guydamak is looking to bail out and try to sell to recoup his losses, he went for the cheap option when arry left and appointed adams in the hope that some sucker would buy them out and adams could try and keep them in the prem on a budget. it is obvious to everybody that if they lose their prem status then the price drops and they become less attractive so he had to bite the bullet and get rid of adams,he will now have to pay good money for a decent manager to keep them up (likely to be avram grant) but he has now lost 3 months by experimenting with adams and it doesnt look good for them......but unlike lowe guydamak has seen sense and acted to give them a chance, it might not be the right option and it is taking a gamble but it is better than sitting back and keeping your fingers crossed hoping that everything will be ok. i dont see how replacing JP with wotte has been seen by some as taking action to save the club?....nothing has changed,lowe has just taken his hand out of one cheap puppets arse and stuck it up another. we need a manager with a tight arse that lowe cant get his hand up:-)

you are right,it is not good to have had 3 managers in a season but imo wotte is just an extension of what we already had,he is no better than JP and as they came as a package they should have gone as a package.we need the hope and belief that a new decent manager can bring,the players are just going through the motions with wotte as they dont have the fear that a different man brings,they are not playing for their places as most of them know that they are in no danger of losng their place however they perform.they are too familiar with wotte and they have no respect for him,he has been a long standing joke between the players. if a new man can come in and shake them up,force them to play for their places then we could get enough points to survive,as it stands we are on the road to relegation. it is worth the gamble,the last throw of the dice if you like.........it has seemed to work at forest. what have we got to lose?

they are reportedly in anywhere between £60mil - £80mil they are in serious danger of being relegated ,but they have realised the severity of their situation,even though they have spiralling debts and out of control player wages for a club their size (sol campbell 100k+) and they have acted by sacking a crap manager.................so why cant we do the same. we are in a worse predicament than them,our debts are about half theirs,although relative to our league our players wages are just a fraction of theirs but we do have something they dont have any longer.............a crap manager who is likely to take us down to L1. wake up SFC its time to act,if the skates can do it so can we,we are on a heading which will just end in tears,give us something which will give the fans hope.my best mate is a skate and he is over the moon,he is now confident that they will survive and that is before they have even announced their new manager......this is what i want to feel like. perhaps the fear of losing a premiership status is greater than the fear of losing a championship status Mr Lowe?

lowe is considering elvis,buddy holly,freddie mercury and kirtsy McColl as just like the team they are dead and buried.

i agree TDD,i never rated him and tbh i was very dissapointed in his appointment and i was glad that he was given the boot.i think lowe knew he made a mistake and acted quickly but it was another appointment he never should have made.he isnt a good manager (although he is better than what we have) and his level is championship/L1 nothing more nothing less.

lowe is already planning for league 1 in the same way as he prepared for the championship,i think you will find we will be relegated well before the end of the season.

tbf i didnt really know enough about BWP when we signed him,he showed a couple of flashes of what he can do and came off the bench and scored a couple of goals.by all accounts he is a popular member of the squad but at his age he should have pulled away from just being a sub/bit part player.i think his true level of competence is lower than us tbh so if all this is true it wouldnt be a great loss if he was kicked out of the club,he is over paid (£5K) so it will be a saving to us. it is obvious to me now that we paid for the name,a name that by all accounts seems to have a chip on its shoulder and a problem with authority.
