It's only what I've been saying all season. See how indignant people were when I dared to say we wouldn't finish 10th, rounded upon by some. If anyone disagreed with Predictions we were set to rocket up the table, past teams who had been there all season it was sneered at. Obviously I want us to finish as high as possible but my out look isn't blinded by happy clappy optimism that all of our players except for Guly and Fox are the greatest players in the history of association Soccerball and everyone connected with the club is the greatest person who ever lived.

What did you see?

We won't go down and we won't finish tenth. We aren't as bad as some make out and no where near as good as others think. Where we are now is about where we will finish. 12th-15th. This is an accurate reflection of our squads level. I'm sure people will now randomly pick or ignore games and cherry pick amounts of games, or come up with a league table as to how it would look if only players with the the letter R in their name their scored this season to 'prove' we are better than we really are. Ive said this for most of the season and been sneered at for it. Glad to help.

I'm not sure why everyone is having a go at Alpine, he's right. Our centre backs aren't good enough, they got carved open time and time again on Saturday. Everyone is blaming Fox and whilst he wasn't great he was no worse than anyone else. We haven't any true wide players except Puncheon and we don't any real options up front except for Lambert, if he isn't playing well then we struggle. We've got a decent first XI when everyone is fit and on form but we have no depth beyond that and you can't go through a season with only eleven decent players relying on them to be in top form and fitness week in week out. We are in about the right position of lower midtable, we aren't relation fodder, we're too good for that, but neither are we a top 10 side, or even top 6 like some on here would have you believe. I was sneered at for saying we wouldn't finish 10th and it seems I'm likely to be right, unfortuantely realism on here is dismissed as trolling or negativity with people indignant if its suggested we arent as good as people like to believe. The fact is were a newly promoted side and survival was always the priority and considered a success this season, we're in a decent place and should be pleased with where we are this season, but not kid ourselves that we are as good as some on here are claiming and there is still a lot of work to do yet if we are to get anywhere near the 'aim for the stars' mantra being trotted out every five minutes on here.

I doubt Pompey can afford them and they wouldn't want L2 football.

Quite. Both of them have always been big clubs. Just dinlows on here don't seem to realise that.

I've seen Liverpool in the 50s mentioned s couple of times in the past, apparently they were tiny back then and don't forget Chelsea on the 80s, they only used to get 13,000 don't yah know.

Such as?

Yep, came across well. love it that Camara picked him up on his marking for their first goal.

Said MP speaks good English and speaks in it to the players all the time.

Right now on sky. FACT

It looks like its a good job we're settling for 12th!

Behave yourself. You're saying that was worse than Rochdale at home or Swindon the JPT??!! have you been before this season?!

An early contender for the Saintsweb award for understatement of the year.

Did he throw a punch this time?

I don't often disagree with you Fitz but if you can't take one look at Nicks table in the OP and compare it to the current table and see how accurate, relevant and realistic it was then I'm afraid I will boycott your new book In protest.

Who knows what random number of games it'll be this week.

Ahhh hello dumbass. I thought you said we were finishing tenth?

Im looking forward to Nick Gs updated 'where will finish based on current form' table.

They've dicked us twice and are 5 places above us. I know people don't like to hear we aren't the greatest team to ever play association Soccerball, but they are much better than us. They beat us easily and also had 3 players missing.

To be fair I think a few saintsweb clapper myths were exposed today. hoolvield is a premier league defender This squad with no additions is good enough to finish 6th We have a top half squad MP is a tactical genius

No jimmy D?

Any chance of an update? We've not had one for a while.

Loving Ollana spinning a 3-0 home defeat as a positive thing and evidence of how good we are
