  1. Tuesday at Liverpool looks like it will be fun
  2. embarrassing
  3. dock him a weeks wages for that one
  4. or at least get it on target
  5. Agree. Can only think Still didn't want to put an 18 years in that environment. But, Jay having been with Saint since a youth would probably be much more up for the game than newbies. Agree would have liked to see him at least come off the bench much earlier.
  6. I don't think today was ever going to be a classic, but that 1st 45 minutes produced was as bad as a performance of any of the last 6 managers. But, so many new additions so late in the transfer window is costing us points, presuming Still will get them to blend well. A run of difficult games coming up to get them playing. Need to pick up max points, Liverpool game is nothing to lose, so might as well get the practice in and go for it. Home atmosphere pretty good most of the time. I have been at every derby since Moran's winner at Fractured Park, 1984 and I think that skates were as quiet as I've ever heard them. It seemed too easy to nullify 'play up pompey'.
  7. I was in the Fratton End at that game. I was with a mate for uni and is Navy officer dad. Was wetting myself and all I could do was just look at them and....smile n wink. In their local that night full of upset skates. I went on to beat all their pub darts team to an extent where they refused to play me anymore....great two memories.
  8. I don’t hate him……feel sorry for him yes!!
  9. Add Peter Crouch…….for bottling out of that game, calling sick just before kick off. Unfortunately, Niemi had a very rare nightmare of a game. But still wouldn’t put him in the bad camp.
  10. He is absolute Shiittee....thought that at the friendly away to Millwall pre-last season. He has done nothing to change my mind.
  11. Thoughts are with the families in this tragic event. Totally agree with the comment regarding trivialisation by retiring a shirt number, doing so is such a load of nonsense. I disagree that the media has handled the reporting well. Why did it warrant so much TV news time?!?! At the end of the day he wasn't anyone special, he was a footballer!!!!!!!
  12. I think some might struggle with the lyrics!!!
  13. Or is it: 'This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.'
  14. Smallbone to the rescue
  15. this working for me http://www.fawanews.com/Leicester City vs Southampton --- CH 1.html
  16. What he said. No point to keep pointing the finger. we all know there is a massive gulf. Need to spend a couple seasons in the championship to rebuild and produce a team ready for the premier. Unfortunately, I think we will be down for a few seasons sorting this mess out.
  17. Great post. Keep your chin up. Yes things all look bad from football through to the state of the country. But, not easy I know, I like to look for the silver lining on all and increasingly difficult. Generally people are good and those that would do the country harm have the upper hand because it is east to criticise when things are down. I'm lucky to travel all over the world and based on what I see there is still something very different and special about the British. I know we naturally look at what is bad about us but when I see even simple things like attitudes on using public transport I feel not all is lost. I'm in my 60's and people still offer me a seat when I get on the London Tube, Its not as common as you would used to see. I agree the art of queuing has been lost getting on London buses. A couple of recent trips in various EU countries, I could not help but notice no one offers a seat or to help those that need it, was virtually none existent. In Brussels, when I stood to allow a young pregnant woman to sit, there was a look of horror then surprise that I cared. She eventually sat down, but not a 'thank you' to be heard. The world we are living in is increasing dominated by people being selfish. But deep down I believe in the good of people. I still believe there in those silver linings. We all have trails through our lives being occasionally being there for others can bring some positiveness to someone else's life. So if others feel this is another boring response so be it, but if some can try to keep smiling when their situation looks to be dire and it can make a little positive difference to another's day. I didn't really mention football....but I will still be there Saturday. Keep smiling on.
  18. totally Dibling at fault. Ref acknowledge the free kick and waved play on, playing the advantage as you'd expect from that position on the field.
  19. Who will the next manager and of course.....who will be his/her replacement come Christmas?!?!
  20. which one were u using?
