  1. It's his name for **** sake......on lots of occasions I'm referred to as Mr..(my surname) or sir. I'm not in the army or a teacher, just a businessman.
  2. Were we that bad in the first half?!?!? Phil Thompson (sky report) thinks we were dreadful and rabbits in headlights. Taking into account we were playing against 12...I don't think so....also my neutral friend that was with me didn't think we were doing too bad in the first half. Playing high trying to pressurise them we are bound to leave gaps for teams to knock the ball into.
  3. any streams working
  4. Stream anyone
  5. streams
  6. When we are on the up you can't shut Krueger and Reed up. Now we are so shiittteee they are nowhere to be seen....cowards.
  7. any other streams? I'm only getting top half of the screen with this stream
  8. At what time in the next 5 minutes will we conceive a penalty to them.
  9. You don't know what you are talking about. He took Stoke to their highest league finished since the 70's.

    Agree he could be a decent player. He looks to be a bit trimmer and more in shape than last season. I like the way he took on the defence in the second half, needs to find that killer pass at the end of it or shot on target. Also notice that he and Bertrand actually passed to each other in the 2nd half. Often wondered last season if there was a problem between them as they never seem to pass and return to each other.
  11. When are season tickets sent out?
  12. Why are BMW drivers waaannkers?!!!! Always tailgating, trying queue jump, generally annoying ****s, etc.
  13. Perhaps if he had a big red cross across it, it might be more appropriate
  14. Spent £220m buying 80% of SFC - £50m = £170m now to recoup. If we stay in the Prem' trying to survive on a shoe string, the winnings will likely mean that the £170m will recouped in around 4-5 years. Good business, if we can stay up. Crap for us fans. But he is a businessman so why should he give flying **** about us.
  15. Ditto
  16. Also don't forget the media. If a ref makes a mistake against Saints there will be a few comments in the next days papers etc and the big clubs and their fan will see it as winging Saints (or which ever smaller club involved). Where if the mistake is against one of the big clubs media and their managers will go on about it constantly in the media. So decisions are likely to go against the smaller clubs because there will be less criticism in the media.
  17. No. It was the right for and the Saints 2010-2013. Great memories. It would be a shame to have back and fail. The club leadership is different from when he was here, how and by how much only time will tell.
  18. portsmouth...... proving Neanderthal man isn't extinct. What was the question?
  19. Video does work. Good idea. If my memory is correct i seem to remember that a station has always been on the cards if we want to expand, this isn't a discussion on whether we need tor can. So why wait I live near London Bridge so if I could get a train down to the ground it would make so much difference, especially midweek. i'm not on facebook so can't reply on there. But I think others should.
  20. I'm a season ticket holder and been to less games this season than any previous year due to the constant rearranging of games. I live and work in central London making mid-week games is always an issue whether I can get away in time and get there for kick off. We have only had 5 home games so far in 2018 and I have only been able to get to one of them. The quality of football doesn't help matter. Obviously we all know of the poor Saints performances but I think that goes across the board in this league. The first few weeks of the season the football was dreadful no matter who was playing and I stopped watching Sky and BT for a couple of week. Then City start to play top quality stuff out performing everyone. But there hasn't been that much quality throughout this season. There is no difference between the sides in the bottom dozen or so teams. Clubs are having to paid 10s of millions for average players who then seam to think they are world glass because they are being past around for extortionate fees and salaries. Most of these players would have struggled to be worth a couple of million a couple of years ago. Look at West Ham they have well reported problems then when there is an international break, are they call in for extra training...no...they are swanning around on Miami Beach. The clubs are powerless to stop this kind of thing as the players will just leave if the are not spoilt in this way. I'm sure we could all write an essay on what is wrong with modern football. The trouble is, for example, I loved it in the lower leagues and going to clubs that I'd not been to before and having good banter with clubs and many away days were fun. But the trouble is I still want us to be playing the best and that unfortunately means the Premier League (well some of it). As Adrian Lord says above 'The Premier League bubble is bursting in slow motion'. I agree. But having said that they don't care to much about bums on seats as long as they can sell the football rights to us here and more importantly (to the premier league and Sky) the mass markets of the far east, middle east and USA (ie Utd and scousers playing again in the USA this coming summer).
  21. why do people start shiiitttte like this?!?!
  22. Can we have a poll as to whether we sound have another poll?
  23. I don't pretend to be ITK, as I'm not. Just speaking 3rd hand, a friend that works in the club tells me that everything behind the scenes is top class and built for regular qualification for Europe.........where we are failing is on the pitch and that comes down to one person responsible for the ins and outs of the players and manager. Whether the owners see it that who knows?....or apparently not.
  24. Do we really need another thread like this?!?! Pathetic!!!!#As Plumstead support the team.
  25. hate being pessimistic but will we turn up for 45 or 90 minutes. 90 minutes we have a chance. COYS
