Something to do with a rumour about Pulis senior being lined up to be our manager at around the same time. I can't remember the details of said rumour though...

During a discussion at work today, whereby i reiterated the ascertain that Pompey had 'cheated' their way to the cup final, a neutral work colleague said: "if Pompey have 'cheated' then how come they're bottom of the premier league (regardless of points deduction)? If they did 'cheat' it didn't serve them very well in the league did it?" Which is a fair observation and got me thinking, if they 'cheated' as much as we're accusing them of then how come this didn't pay off in the league? A devil's advocate might suggest that perhaps they weren't flouting the financial laws of the game as much as they could've done. In other words, perhaps their poor league position suggests that perhaps there was a degree of financial constraint in amongst all the mismanagement? As I say, not my view - just a reflection of a conversation I had today.

Yup, got a mention a few pages back. Interesting comparison though

Rosemary?

We will be paired with Bournemouth on Boxing Day (27th December this year)

I thought we were signing CCC players...?

Noggin (the)

Took them a while to catch up with that one

Selective quotes? On here? What on earth gave you that impression? ;-)

The saints web forum's favourite daily mail columnist blames government for Pompey's woes rather than 'football'... (half way down on thus link:) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1268735/Martin-Samuel-Even-Special-One-hope-match-Sir-Alex-Fergusons-feat-Manchester-United.html

How long before some bright spark cottons on to the fact that the Exeter game wasn't held on Boxing Day and then bangs on about it for months on end?

I once tried to formulate a conspiracy theory around this very proposition. It was all very plausible but I never went public with it. Until now...

You're forgetting Bernie Clifton

You can hear some people moaning now...."If only Pards had brought on Antonio instead of James on Tuesday"

That's a matter of opinion

It's the other way around - I influence them ;-)

You're mistaking Pompey for an organisation that gets penalised for breaking the laws of the land...

San Marino?

Inconsiderate

Agree. Every vote would count in a true PR system. Even those votes for the lunatic fringes. As you say..."exciting"...
