Gotta feel for the guy really - he has a right bag of bollux to sort out. That said - I can't for the life of me see why he took the job in the first place, surely he could see that it was a 'uckin' mess of a club. Perhaps when he was asked to go back to the Blue side he thought he was on his way back to Chelski...!

Only one club were stupid enough to convince the City Council that he deserved the Freedom of the City bestowed upon him though. Wonder if he ever uses the award to visit and see the 'fruits of his labour' down at FP these days?

I don't wish Delldays dead or any misfortune whatsoever - I just wish he would do longer & more frequent tours of duty...!

My two penneth. Was devestated to hear that the guy was executed - guilty or innocent. The crime did not warrant such radical punishment. There appears to me to be numerous issues that have gone against Akmal during this case. I agree with Barney Trouble, irrespective of his adult status - if his illness was 'that' severe, surely somebody in his family should have been watching out for him. It appears a little premature to cite these issues in defence when little was done to negate the gentleman from getting into difficult situations. A failing of the health authorities in this country, a failing of Akmals family and friends I don't know - but for my money somebody should have been watching his back. The Chinese justice system is well known for it's severity of sentence - it is not a country to start your criminal career. I believe that Akmal was indeed doped into the crime, and that he had little idea of the ramifications. Will any good come of this. For Akmals family probably no, but if it deters other 'would be' 'smugglers' from case carrying for a quick buck (which could lead to the death penalty) then perhaps all has not been in vain, and some positives might transpire from this barbaric act.

Did ok, nothing spectacular, helped Wolves to a 3 nil loss at home.

Go on - enlighten me...?

So to sum up, we got beat by a really shyte team, playing really shyte football, organised by a really shyte manager, watched by really shyte fans, in a really shyte stadium. So what does that make us then..?

Made me larf...!

Non starter - move on.

Happy Xmas to you all - hope you get all that you wish for in the New Year - Peace.

Or here if you want it in all it's glory - about 4 minutes in:

"Feedback". I ****in' hate the term "feedback". What does it mean? I'm going to expain how I wanted it done. I'm going to complain nicely. I'm going to comment on your work. I'm going to give you some advice. What the **** is "feedback"? The military do it right - "listen in guys" - I'm gonna tell you how it is "bollocking", you ****ed it up, "nice job", you did it right "Feedback" - People pussyfooting around, too scared to get to the point and say what they really think - cak...!

Well somebody is telling porkies: There is no way it could be AG if this is factual: quote A football insider said: "This is a man who oversees a football club which has been involved in multi-million pound transfers and pays players tens of thousands of pounds every week. Unquote Since when did the skates get involved in multi-million pound transfers and when was the last time they paid thier players...??? I rest my case - AG must be innocent...!

I actually have a bit of a soft spot for the 'ammers - so I will be rooting for them to stay up. Pompey on the other hand - hopefully the south coast derby returns next year...!

I actually love the fact that we are rarely in the news these days.... but when we are, it all appears positive stuff, buying good players, planning new training facilities, a manager with vision and plans for the future with the Owner backing him - life couldn't be better right now.

Apparently so... not sure when or where though - or how many are going... I'll keep you posted if I find anything out.

What here on this thread or at the game...???

Geeze - must have missed those, I'll check again...!

No idea - can't find anything anywhere ...!

A little cheer for them here: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Tottenham-Manager-Harry-Redknapp-Facing-Proceedings-Over-A-Tax-Issue/Article/200912315504712?lpos=UK_News_Carousel_Region_3&lid=ARTICLE_15504712_Tottenham_Manager_Harry_Redknapp_Facing_Proceedings_Over_A_Tax_Issue

No brown bag jokes, please... http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Tottenham-Manager-Harry-Redknapp-Facing-Proceedings-Over-A-Tax-Issue/Article/200912315504712?lpos=UK_News_Carousel_Region_3&lid=ARTICLE_15504712_Tottenham_Manager_Harry_Redknapp_Facing_Proceedings_Over_A_Tax_Issue

Would have been my Xmas bonus if we had got anything from this game. Sounds like we were in the game and only lost to a decent goal as well - no disgrace. How we react will be important now - need to get back to winning ways.

Have been saying this for some time now. The Prem is littered with some dire teams - with the start that Pompey made they should be dead and buried by now, but such is the lack of quality that other teams have failed to capitilise. That, and of course there is always one 'dark horse' who falls into the relegation fight a bit like Newcastle last year - perhaps WHU this. Judging on that performance - I can see them staying up, perhaps comfortably as well.

Ummm perhaps so, but surely if this lad was a 'serial offender' at SMS would the stewards not have marked his card by now? I don't remember anything on here (or elsewhere for that matter) about this young lad before this incident - do you? If he is doing it at away games then again the parenting should be called into question, but again, you would think that if, as we are being led to believe, the lad has previous - then the stewards are at fault for either not seeing him on the playing surface (!!!) or failing to detain and deal with him.

For a team that was relegated - no other team can match that, shows we are making good progress.
