Crab Lungs

Another Ipswich perspective; Southampton tore us apart at times. They were dominant in midfield, classy in keeping the ball and clinical in front of goal. 3-0 at the half probably flattered us. The most frustrating thing for me in the first half was the lack of options given by our players off the ball. Time and again Andrews would come and collect the ball from Delaney, would turn out and find nothing to offer a pass to. Chopra has an excellent mind for the game but when he is the only player making a move it is easy to pick up. We brought Martin and JET on at half time (surprisingly keeping Leadbitter out wide and the awful Bowyer in the middle) for Scotland and Kennedy. Tad harsh on Scotland I thought who did nothing wrong. We seemed to be really up for the 2nd half and raced out of the blocks, scoring two goals relatively quickly, while all the time looking keen to concede a 4th. That fourth eventually came from the outstanding Lallana, one of the best players in the league for me. That goal took the wind out of us and we were a defeated and spent team. 5-2 probably flattered us in the end.

Yep. Me. Couldn't resist. But he retorted; "SC-UM-MER" facepalm.

With a little bit of luck, they will. I think if Clotts is in charge for the full season they have an excellent chance... then it'll be 8,000 average attendances at the arena...

Plus, we still need a CB and possibly another striker. It's a 50 games+ season...

Just as I posted on another thread in reply to anyone concerned that a new signing would rock the boat: I think Nige thoroughly vets them character wise and works to a wage structure, so that would be unlikely to happen.

One from FB: One of the best Championship sides I have ever seen....shame it wasn't Ipswich!!

I honestly thought that after reading and before clicking the title of this thread, it would be about John W******d.

ROFL at Pompey fans arguing with Saints fans on Facebook; "90% of all scum fans are Indians and pakastanis ! They built your stadium in mini asia, and even ur ticket office is on the corner to please the community. Oh and isnt ur top player an anagram of ALL ANAL just like the scummers like it ? Night scummers" Nice. "Well if the £130 million in debt is something, I can name at least 3 PL teams that have at least that, if not more. Attendances?? When doo the likes of us ever get to a midweek game anyway! Sliding down?? Well 43 games later lets have another look. Yep, pompey is the place with the bell ringer, sure is. Well done, you managed a word with 2 syllables. Lets try advanced, 3 of them - SCUMMER" They still don't get it.

Small-time, revolting club with no principles. Football's karmic God's are resetting the balance...

13,000 @ Fratton Park tonight? Massive club. LMFAO.

Good striker, another one to add to an already colossal wage bill. Disgusting club.

£7.5m? Seriously? -------> :-/

http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=364837 Looks like the few are becoming fewer by the day....Lolz.

Lolz, with a history of bungs he'd be an ideal candidate. Make sure you burn the paper trail(s), Limpitt

That's what I heard also. Another £30k on the wage bill of the shameless sh1tc()nts down the road. And f()ck1ng hell, doesn't Clotterill moan?

SaintsWeb has spoken again, close the thread. Beattie is not wanted.

Mikael Nilsson bottling 90-10 favour challenges. Other than that, the continuous lynching of Calum Davenport as opposed to Andreas Jakobsson post-relegation season embarrasses me, though that's from the fans.

They will, with a bit of luck. Lolz.

Seaborne got mentioned a lot today, in a positive sense too... can't wait to hear what the people who were also at the game made of him. And in other news... The Cortese matchday programme debacle once again continues to affect Saints form. He's ruining our club FFS

Where are they getting this money from? I assume they're having another ****-or-bust season before the first payments to the creditors are owed? (and what are the odds they don't even bother with honouring that, anyway)

I wouldn't hold that against him... most people in town on nights out are utter pr1cks.

Evidently. That's why everyone else with an opinion that isn't agreeable needs to see a therapist, lolz.

The thing is, you and your friends don't for a moment consider other peoples viewpoints. It's all about what you believe - and if no-one else agrees with it, they're wrong. Gandhi once said something along the lines of "You can be in a minority of one and still be right" and whilst I agree with that, this doesn't exactly correlate here or elsewhere on supposedly 'racist' threads. If anyone has the audacity or daring to suggest anything that you don't agree or that can be perceived, even thinly, as racist, then it gets jumped upon. Now, I've only skimmed the thread but I don't see racist remarks at all; I see people voicing their opinions. It might be right, it might be wrong but it certainly doesn't deserve to be treated with a constant condescending tone (which is something that appears commonplace among the 'liberals' I don't give a ****e about race, sexuality, religion - I judge a person on their merits. Are they a good person? Great, if they are. Are they t0sser? Yes - well, ok, they're a t0sser then. That's it, finished. If that demographic happens to be 90% white/black/green/whatever, then so be it. To refuse to acknowledge it though is sticking your head in the sand.
