In a nutshell...this.

I think you would have to be airing on the optimistic side if you think we will finish 2nd.

No fan should boo or jeer one of their own players.Ever.

3 points is 3 points when all is said and done. But the bigger picture is the performances of late are well below expectations. Our dip into the january transfer window with the aquisitions of N'guessan and Forte have not enhanced the playing squad one iota thus far. We are still way below par and this needs to be addressed as the run in approaches. If not we will be lucky to crawl over the line in any position of respectability. Everyone needs to up their game,including Adkins. Let's hope he is capable.

I personally think that automatic promotion is going to be out of our reach,and has been for a while.

We sound so very poor. We have found consistancy.......underperforming. 3 points is what matters, if you happy with mediocre performances.

If you class 1-0 up against 10 man Carlisle,then i suppose so.

Lambert...get in

Carlisle down to 10 men. Hopefully that will give us a chance.....ffs.

Have we had ours? Or are we having that blip now?

The 'bus' appears to be in reverse if anything.

The deal is on perhaps...... 'If all goes to plan, in a fortnight's time Balram Chainrai will not be running English Championship side Portsmouth, but the Russian consortium Convers Sport Initiative (CSI) will be. The Hong Kong businessman has been in talks with CSI and hopes to finalise a deal within the next two weeks. CSI is one of the backers for Ferrari Russia and the Spartak Moscow ice hockey team. It also made a failed bid to buy English League One side Bournemouth last year. Last night, Chainrai (pictured) reiterated that he had never wanted to take over the club for the long term and was optimistic that a deal could be done with CSI. "From the very beginning all I've wanted to do is get a suitable buyer for Portsmouth who can rebuild the club." he said. "Talks are going well with CSI and negotiations are progressing. Other parties are interested and we are still listening to all offers. "It's too early to confirm anything, but the talks we're having with CSI are very positive. I hope for a decision to be made in the next two weeks." Chainrai briefly owned the English side before they went into administration nearly 12 months ago, and when the club won their battle against the British tax authorities in August, it left him free to buy back the club with his Israeli business partner, Levi Kushnir, and save them from liquidation. However, fans are angry that Chainrai and Kushnir are failing to invest in the club, who have not won since before Christmas and are hovering dangerously above the relegation zone. This led to the first organised fans' demonstration, which took place last Saturday before Pompey's home game against Derby County. About 100 fans turned out to protest. Bob Beech, the chairman of protest group SOS Pompey, said more protests were planned for the rest of the season and that within a week, their SOS Pompey page on Facebook had 1,200 members. Chainrai hoped the latest news would calm the supporters' fears and prove that he had the club's best interests at heart. "I want to let Portsmouth fans know we are doing our best to find the right buyer who will inject the needed capital into the club," he said. "It's encouraging news for everyone and I hope it shows fans that we're doing our best for Portsmouth." Beech, who is not only SOS Pompey chairman but has been a Portsmouth season ticket-holder since 1985, said he was "cautiously optimistic" about the news. "The way things have gone for us over the years, we've got every right to be sceptical about it, so I'll believe it when I see it. But anyone that is willing to invest money in the club will be welcomed," he said. Beech also made it clear that Pompey fans had nothing against Chainrai personally, but that the lack of investment in the club had meant they had to show how they felt. "Actions speak louder than words. We genuinely hope that this deal goes through and everyone gets what they want. Only time will tell," he said. Last month, the club's chief executive, David Lampitt, said Portsmouth were looking to make three permanent signings in the transfer window to bolster an already threadbare squad - the reserve side has been scrapped. He also insisted that there was no pressure to sell players to balance the books. But Pompey failed to bring in a single player on a permanent contract and sold Nigerian striker John Utaka, bought in 2007 for £7 million (HK$87.67 million) by former manager Harry Redknapp, to Montpellier for £430,000'

wowsers,they are the gift that just keeps on giving.

What a coincidence,just when they need one of these.... http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/LatestNews/vacancies/Lawyer-Full-Time-1879.aspx

Eh?

They do seem to forget that however much some may want Cotterill out,who in their right mind would take over. I am still awaiting an answer from the few i have asked.

Mulligatawny.

The only stat that will matter comes at the end of the season. Our final position come May is all important,not where we stand in a bloody current form league. I only need to look at the League table to give me a hint of how we are performing. That and watching us give a shoddy performance and give away a 2 goal lead....twice.

According to reports Cotterill had a blazing row with fans in the stand and seems to be losing it on occasions. Friends who were at the game state he is coming across as a little unstable and they think he will be gone sooner rather than later.

To give away a 2 goal lead once is pretty bad....to give one away twice is simply appalling.

Ffs

So this bus....is this the one you could drive right through our defence. Parking this bus in front of it maybe more prudent.
