No it wasn't.

But a downturn in results meaning relegation would suggest that adkins would have kept us up. That's how it was looking anyway.

I said that I fail to see under what other criteria he was chosen other than the the fact that he was quite successful and black. To my mind it certainly wasn't a footballing criteria as he clearly wasn't as talented as the others nor did he gain as much success.

I don't think guly or fonte will be playing.

Who said outraged? Looks like you are the one getting you knickers in a twist.

Any update?

Good point.

But doesn't the continuance of the football club mean parachute payments which means the best return for the creditors?

And yoshida and Jay rod have been decent after shaky starts so that is incorrect.

Difference is that saints weren't wittering on in the summer about how we had a load of world class signings and how we were clearly superior to your time.

Should be pointed out that not all Christians are against this.

Exactly. He knows where his area is and no one else is getting in it. Encouraging.

No surprise it was from frattoniser...

Just seen the most amusing post on pol I have ever read: Can I just remind people what a certain, very well informed person said not too long ago... "The City on an island has a football club for a heart, and as time goes on that heartbeat will sound throughout football." Micah Hall. Thanks Mike and all involved, such a profound prophecy that will be reflected in time by other clubs who look at Pompey in a far greater light than they perhaps do currently. History will in time show that through adversity, Pompey set a path that became a standard for other clubs to follow, returning football back to the common man.

It is ridiculous that just because he is black he is included. That's quite clearly the case because under what other criteria does he qualify?

He is in there because he is probably the most successful black player.

That is suggesting that all the power lies with the clubs. We know that is not the case...

If they all did that clause though then as soon as someone got relegated every player would jump ship and the club would implode. Even worse than now...

If any kid believes that Rickie is the greatest saints player ever and then maintains that belief into adulthood then I don't care about their opinion.

Still not sure why some fictitious kids in your own mind would claim Rickie is the greatest ever when as I said the evidence to the contrary as well as the stats and anecdotal evidence would counter that opinion quite strongly. Someone could say that but then some kid could say any number of ridiculous claims. It doesn't make them true.

Well you would only have to look on youtube or unbelievable to see evidence that that is not the case.

Well you seemed pretty angry when you were inviting me to meet you off the forum. Besides, I think he's pretty funny.

Supposedly the higher offer has been on the table for a while just not in public.

Exactly. It's a win win from our perspective whatever happens. Either scenario is funny.
