Saint J 77

TRUE, but it only takes one fake shiek to throw that all out the window. I have been worried the family wouldn't be inerested in carrying on Marcus's dream. It is worrying but until we here anything offical its all just a waste of energy worrying about it.

It would be a good match OX and Arsenal as it seems Wenger likes them black and young, I expect Walcott is too old for him now (joke) To be honest I really dont want players in the side that dont want to be here. If he wants to go then let him go, same for Adam. I know that philosophy wouldnt leave us with many talented players but it would give us a sqaud of players playing for the shirt.

Points dropped, but a point gained... Gus seems like such a dirty word :-P

You couldn't ask for any more from Saturday at5pm cvould you? Its a pretty good day to be a Saints fan today and its feels great!!!

Add Puncheon to that as well. He has scored for Millwall. Well he still might technically be a Saint he is as good as gone isnt he?

A most Heinous result!!!

Would love to go but I'm working.I'm hoping for 3 points though. Hope all who make the trip enjoy the game and the journey is worth it

They are a bunch of c u next tuesdays arent they. They know what they are doing, they just want to ruin another season for us by unsettling the team just as we are finding our form.

I seem to remember a supposed "friendly match" for Alan Knight testimonial in the mid 90'es at Fratton Park in which Saints beat the Skates 5-1. At the end of the game the Skates fans tried to have a brawl with the Saints fans but the Saints fans walking to the train station just about all managed to get back without too much trouble. So the inbreds got so angry they started fighting amost themselves and smashing up their own property. Actually didnt the same theing happen the year the beat us at Fratton Park in the Premiership? It was the year they beat us 1 nil , I think think Phillips hit the post. My point being their fans are ten times worse than anything we have. I can't believe the News has the cheek to even pretend our fans are worse.

Thats what I'd like to know too. I would hate it to be that we keep him until Jan only for Preston to want him back playing at his best for them again. Thats why I hate loans.

Suddenly there seems to be lots of Skates on here. I wonder why? Just for the record your club HAS cheated. You cannot compare our administration with yours it is totally different kettle of FISH Even the great Michel Platini says you cheated. 'Why was this club winning (the FA Cup in 2008) with losses of £50million? 'When I was younger, I remember seeing people with no money buy Ferraris - and then, because of the Ferrari, they would get the best girls! 'That's not correct, but it's what has happened in football: you don't have the money to buy the players, but you get the players and in the end you cheat and win the competition. 'That's not correct.'

No other premier league club of a simlar size to Portsmouth where offering the funny money being thrown at the bigger named players that were at your club. Why should you get the upper hand in on the pitch if you didn't have the money? Anyway you have survived for now, but I would be worried for your future if I were you as it looks like the lesson have not been learnt. Already we are hearing you are going to be getting MORE loans to buy players. The Football League has acted like a soft parent. They have stood by and watched their child stealing and have let them off without any form of punishment and like a child you have not learn the lesson. Now more spending what you do not have looks set to continue. I am sure you and your fans will not care as long as it brings you success on the pitch again this season. But People with no money buy Ferraris - and then, because of the Ferrari, they would get the best girls! 'That's not correct.

It would seems you are probably right!

Isn't Gay boys dad a gun runner? This guy is obviously dodgy? Why did he sell the club only now to buy back again? More alleged money laundering I expect. Surely he can't pass the fit and proper test?

I have to agree. I dont believe the team has the mental strength we developed over the scond part of last season to push for an automatic place. I think we will just about squeeze into a play off place much like we did in the championship season with Burley. I dont know why the players have crumbled under the pressure. Saturday was a good example of that. It was built as a big game to see how far we have come and they just crumbled under he pressure. Perhaps they should all go and get hypnotised to get the best out of them?

A Bad day of Football Results on the South Coast. Smelly Skates win and we lose.

How many times have the skates looked like that they were on their way to the guillotine, only for a pardon to be given in the last minute? Could this really be it? Are they really about to get the chop? I still think they will find a way out and get ANOTHER stay of execution! Would love to be wrong though. But I say "Off with their heads!!!" haha

That was my thoughts exactly when I saw the photo for the first time.

How quickly will the skates find a loop hole to get around this? Not long I am betting.

He is obviously a talented bloke. I wonder why he did such a bad job with Ted's statue? " He said: 'Some years ago I did some restoration work on Victory. I virtually lived on her for about a year. They always try to use original timbers when doing restoration work, but some are just not good enough." Maybe after spending so much time down there he is a closet Pompey fan and he messed up the Ted Bates statue on purpose so they could have a laugh at us? Seriously though that statue was so so bad. If they had not have melted it back down they could have given it to Milan Mandaric as a garden feature

100% agree, you took the words out of my mouth

Interesting infomation, but just who are the Executive Club members?

He is now a team mate with Barnard he could end up being his cell mate!

Fair point. It would just would be nice to hold on to some of the better loans we bring in from time to time. I hope he does the business for us.

Sounds like he will be a good additon to our current squad. Pacey players are just what we are lacking at the moment. The trouble is IF he does perform any where as good as Antonio did, Reading will take him back and reap the benefits again.

FFS can't we ever just have something good happen without something bad following it? what a silly boy if this is true
