Not neccesarily winning IMO, but if the team are working hard, getting stuck in, and making chances, the fans will respond. If the team are looking lost, backing out of tackles, and nothing is happening, they will generally get nothing back. Occasionally the fans will try and lift a poor performance (often with a very long ongoing OWTS) but in my experience if the team are playing crap no amount of singing will improve them. That said, it wont stop me trying :-)

About as clever as you ignoring the fact I said I WONT be chanting for Pardew. At the end of the day, I don't agree with it, but if some fans feel they want to chant for him then fair enough really, they can sing what they like. Edit - Actually, I agree with your general point in the first post, the whole ground needs to get behind the lads today. I just find your snobbery towards other fans unbearable.

I suggest we all put a bit of extra effort into the Pompey songs today just to p*ss off Richmond ;-)

Tell you what, as an experiment ask the club to ban everybody who likes to go to the Northam, the place would be like a f*cking morgue. PS I won't be singing One Alan Pardew FWIW

That's the other thing people don't take into account when looking at managers though... These are intelligent people, it's quite possible that Mowbray could have learned from his past mistakes. I know when I go into a new job I make bloody sure I don't just repeat any mistakes I made in the last one.

He lost his way with Hull towards the end, but ultimately he got them into the Premiership, which was a damn fine acheivement. Seems a bit of a self publicist, and a bit slimy, but I wouldn't care if we were winning.

For me, Vettel wins that league hands down for somehow getting the team to back him after he drove into Webber in Turkey (I think).

Didn't he try to claim it was just the angle of the photo? The fat f*ck.

mwa hahahahahaha. Wish the interviewer had some balls though. Instead of "no Harry I didn't mean it like that" should've been "sorry did I say wheeler dealer, I meant to say c*nt"

Well if Martin O'Neill is not good for us, then I really am lost.

I have to say, although this situation sucks, I do enjoy the rumour mill. So far, from various friends I have heard.... Shearer spotted at SMS... Strachan seen at West Quay... O'Neill been at training ground... Paul hart at SMS... Phil Brown interview tomorrow... Eddie Howe spoke to Cortese after Carling Cup game... If they're all true we really are casting our net wide!

Or he could have been shopping.

At the end of the day he's not in trouble unless the owners think he's doing a bad job. We could shout and scream all we like but it is up to them.

what a d*ck

Depends on the post and the person. Pompey Takeover Saga = more sexy than Alan Curbishley

Aren't you a bit sad getting a boner over Alan Curbishley?

Ooooh, "a brand new thread", I thought to myself. "how exciting, I wonder what it could be about". Imagine my disapointment to find that it was just ANOTHER person who thinks their opinions on the manager situation deserves it's own thread. PS anybody other than Mourinho and I will be distinctly underwhelmed.

Jewell is a serial bottler IMO. As soon as things get tough he legs it.

Well there's something we agree on.

What would you like them to say?

Wilkins did a good job at Brighton. I think they finished 7th in his only full season.

Why? What do you know that we don't?

Will you two please take your ITK show off fest onto PM.

Oh good, I always love it when the "I'm ITK but I'm not going to tell you" brigade get a chance to act like tw*ts.

"Hey Gianfranco, you're Italian, I'm Italian, I don't really know you but will you be my new best friend? Because we're both Italian you see."
