Crab Lungs

Just thought... Eugene Bopp would make a good signing right about now.

I take it you've got no constructive reply to your mauling over the last few pages. Typical skate. Clutching at straws.

The only time I heard Nigel break the mould and let his guard down was after we best Mk Find last year.

I think that's Corp Ho's. Best post it to Granty as Ho is waiting to become a full member. That said, many would already consider him one of those.

If... IF - we go up, I'm really looking forward to one particular thing; reclaiming "OWTS" from Spurs and Stoke... Have to say though, they do a mighty fine job of belting it out though.

In my life I've done a Portsmouth in my younger years but salvaged myself and the situation by doing a Southampton. At the moment, I feel a bit like Wigan, too.

That has to be one of the best retorts I've ever read. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, pfc123. Here, borrow me lighter.

396? Lol. What a 'tard. And even if that would true, it'll never trump your 84 at Bolton twice. And Wigan. And Sunderland. And Boro.

The biggest managerial underachiever is Mancini.

I wonder how the promotion boat party tickets are selling on KUMB? Should be a great night

If anyone wants to listen to my saintsplaye drop me a message

TDD's view I can totally sympathise with but I don't think the outpouring of support is too over the top (the sensationalist-round-the-clock media don't help in this instance). In fact, I think it's superb - why? Because at least it's genuine. Real. Heartfelt. Not insincere. Not people just doing it for the sake of showing others that they're nice (I despise those kind of people).

Massive club. Massive. As alluded to before by the phew... the last of the UK sleeping giants.

I think we should send a letter of thanks to the FA and the football league for all the p;)oints we have earned this season.

Blimey, not much has changed around Fratton Park;

The best footage of them is in Part 3; Yeah, I wonder how they're getting on.... my bet is that they're like around 240,000 other people, they've probably conveniently forgotten about football since 2008...

Another thing for them to be proud of;

I think you've missed a bit of the point... we need to be in the Prem to keep our quality players, and we need to be in the Prem to be able to hold onto those who might, might - help us actually achieve something...

Fair do's, but if you try and watch any more, try not to choke on your own vomit.

Please, please do all try and watch this. It's quite frankly, sickening. If there is anything that typifies what we've reiterated on here time and again, it's this video; plucky pompey banners, pompey v the world, pompey hard done by, it's not our fault etc etc. T0ssers. *added bonus of fan chasing Storrie at 3:55ish

PompeyOnline ITK'er... whether it's true or not, we'll have to wait and see. Probably is... one scummy club helping another

lmfao.

£700,000 loan fee for Henderson for 6 weeks on a bench. What cheating?

One of the most desperate attempts I've ever seen trying to explain away their pathetic support, ever; http://lordpalmerston.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/pompeys-support-mishap-or-miracle/ Delusional stuff for the deluded. At least he admits Fratton is a soulless dump though.

I really don't want to have to explain this again, but it does look as if I might have to. Yes, we won't win as many games in the Premier League. What's more, we're very unlikely to win it. However, whilst NC has ambition, as do I. It'd be fantastic if we could be that team that breaks the mould and instead of buying success, nurtures it. More to the point though, if we don't go up we'll lose our best players and get almost nothing except the transfer fees anyway. If we do go up, we keep them and get £60m - and another £60m for a second season. If we go up and come straight back down, we lose the players but we get £60m to help us rebuild and come back stronger. Staying in this division won't mean we "win" more games, even more so after we've lost our talismans. We'll be faced with rebuilding - without the extra help of the £60m having got into the EPL. We'll probably stagnate and things will run it's course. Then we'll be on that cycle of rebuilding again. It's a complete no-brainer. If we want to produce our own players and have them stay, we need to be in the top division matching their ambitions - whilst also receiving the finance required to keep them.
