Big Radhi's still around

Oi oi, Phil Dowd's got two phones. Dirty bugger.

Some of the arrogance on there defies belief.

He's a right pr1ck. When he first went to the skates he gave it the false Adkins impression, trying to be a Mr Thoughtful, Mr Nice Guy and look as if he knew what he was doing. Within a couple of months, he'd reverted to the same personality every other Portsmouth manager has had; whinging, b1tching and moaning - which of course the phew rallied behind and lapped up his plucky troops mantra. They soon got wise to him. Well, most did as soon as he left them. Like everyone else who deserts them, he went from glorious leader of men to useless loser in seconds. I was reading the Blackburn forums today... they aren't very impressed with him at all It seems his brand of anti-football is seriously damaging his reputation and often-coined title of "best young coach in England".

Yeah, agree with that. Looks promising. I was also impressed with Karl Darlow, the keeper from Forest they had on loan there. My dad pointed him out at first, and I have to say, within 15 minutes I found myself agreeing with him.

March 30 Chelsea (H) D 1-1 April 6: Reading (A) L 2-1 April 13: West Ham (H) W 2-0 April 20: Swansea (A) L 2-1 April 27: West Brom (H) D 1-1 May 4: Tottenham (A) D 2-2 May 12: Sunderland (A) D 2-2 May 19: Stoke (H) W 3-1 10 more points. We'll be ok. 14th or 15th.

Hahaha! I absolutely love having him as our goalkeeper and was delighted we managed to get him. He really is a top, top goalkeeper. And a headcase, which is also brilliant. I'm sure the watch will be on show BTW, has anyone seen any pictures of him winding up Suarez?

Awesome. Now, next week, I want to see a tweet with a picture of Boruc and Poch smiling as he pens a new deal. Please.

I think the idea was to sail it as close to the wall as possible, aiming for Lallana who had added himself onto the wall to obscure Jones' view. After all the close shaves rickies had with free-kicks this year, it was great to see it go in, even if it was off Sturridges bum.

as i posted earlier...

I've just realised I say "That said" quite a lot. And YES, spot on too. Cabaye... yes, he's good. Toulalan, yes, good also. Have they got all the attributes Schneiderlin has? Have they f*ck.

United haven't got out of reverse and they're still winning. However, I really do need them to keep a clean sheet for my accy.... C'mon United.

Billy, go to the start of this thread. You'll find I'm taking the piddle... I've been one of his most staunch advocates

Our players are very, very underrated. - If Johnson can play for England, so can Clyne. - I haven't seen a better left back in England than Luke Shaw this season. Ashley Cole is still a top, top player, as is Baines but Shaw isn't far from that standard and he's getting better and better. - Cork is far better than tripe like Rodwell, Livermore, Henderson, Shelvey, Cleverley - FAR better. - For Lallana, see the same as above and add in the likes of greedy cloggers like Lampard, Gerrard etc. Yes, they WERE great players but they haven't got half the skill that Lallana has. The nearest player to Lallana, ability-wise, is Joe Cole. That said, Lallana's season has been arguably inconsistent and has also been injured for a while, which unfortunately means it takes time for him to bed back in and find form and fitness. - Lambert is simply a better footballer than Bothroyd, Zamora, Welbeck and Sturridge. That said, he's 31 and despite the fact that wouldn't really affect his game, he's not a "diamond earrings, braaaaaaaaaap-braaaaaaaap,Taio Cruz, white-booted, sweatbanded One Direction " type of footballer. His face doesn't fit. It's a bloody shame, really. - For Rodriguez, see above with the exception of maybe Sturridge. Having said that, he shows far more technical and finishing ability than Sturridge but he's a not a "braaaaaap-braaaaaap-in-the-club" footballer either. Unless he goes to a bigger club, he'll never get a chance. Despite all this, I'm partly delighted they're not in the squad for selfish reasons. They'd be surrounded by self-absorbed, overrated knobbers and I wouldn't want our players to absorb any of that. That said, it's very selfish of me and in my heart of hearts, I'd be delighted if some of our players got capped. Additionally, I still do believe they're going to have to play a good season or two in the top division before they might get a genuine chance. Whether that's with us, who knows? One things for sure though, our players are technically a lot, lot better than many of the players in teams above us.

Get the bunting out, it's time to celebrate on Portsea.... THEY GOT A POINT!!!!

Please understand that I have to do this, for me.

Not good enough, too fat, too slow, can't kick, goes down in stages when he dives and threw a bottle of water at some defenseless fans. Get rid IMO.

Just been reading the Liverpool forums and tweets. Like every other team that we've beaten, it's been their "worst performance of the season". Lol, how many teams have we done this to now? Having said that, plenty of complimentary comments on RAWK. Though, the most arrogant one was "Southampton haven't played like this in 10-15 years, they should be delighted with that"

I'm so glad I was wrong. Well done Saints. I really did fear today. I thought we'd dominate (as usual), but get undone by Suarez. Thank you, Saints, very proud. Superb team effort.

As is Kyle Walker, fwiw.

He's pretty turd anyway. Clyne is far, far better.

Yep, I feel you're absolutely correct about that and think the same too. Still, I might be wrong and it is a bit too early to judge MP. Still don't think he'll go onto achieve what NA will, though.

This.

I think we've got a lot more in common with Brighton than the Skates or the Bucket Rattlers. Thanks for the message, Kazenga, I'm definitely voting. Anything to irk the small-time, not-right-in-the-head, bitter, jealous, soon-to-be-facing-admin-again, delusional, Eddie-Howe-for-England-championing, weirdo, little-brothers-of-Pompey bucket rattlers is cool with me.

I don't know why, but it took me three reads of this to "get it". I thought it was an insult at first. It's not boding very well for me, is it?
