We could be about to have even more fun. Plymouth from League 2,scored how many, 4 was it, against the Pompey youth team ? Pompey conceded 5 on Tuesday. They now plan on playing more youngsters. I can see some real drubbings as the season progresses. What are the odds on the opposition in one game getting to double figures?

I think there will be some surprises to come. I confidently expect that 1 or 2 teams who have so far kept well clear of the relegation zone are going to find themselves in one heck of a relegation dog fight. It remains to be seen who strengthens and who does not in the transfer window but Newcastle for example are not going to be helped by selling Ba. I would be more confident in my predictions after 1 February but at the moment I would go for Reading, Villa and Newcastle.

This picture sums up for me the meaning of WTFILN. That terrace brings back unhappy memories. 2 defeats 1-0 were not fun. One game marked Ricky's Saints debut, The second was our last match pre Adkins. Haven't we come a long way in a short space of time?? WTFILN

A couple of Arsenal fans I know, slag Theo off at every opportunity they can. Sometimes it seems that he even breathes incorrectly to them.

I agree. Home to Chelsea must be a good time to see what the likes of Reeves and Hoskins are capabl e of. Similarly it would be nice to see Lee in the first team again.

We did miss lallana in the first match of the Christmas holidays aginst Sunderland. Who knows what could have been in that game if we had had his creativity. Having sad that, in Guly we do seem to have a good shape to the team.

I thought that both Chamberlain and Walcott showed class when they left the pitch. Both of them had not played well. Even when he swapped wings, Chamberlain got no joy from our defence. Theo did nothing special during the game - but both of them acknowledged the home fans when they left the pitch. Theo did almost a complete lap of the stadium. I appreciate that it is very unlikely but what a way for us to make an impact in the football world if we were to "bring Theo home" during the summer after his contact runs out.

Excellent post.

A point at home to Everton??? I can't see that myself. How will we get a point at Wigan? If they win at SMS they are bound to beat us at their place. We will hit Villa just when they recover from their current bad patch. No points there either. In fact I cannot see us getting any more points ever again. Shall we just withdraw from the League like some other poster recommended a few weeks ago?

I agree entirely about a lack of sympathy when their husbands hurt themselves!!a

She did. This is going to appear in the Snooze next week My Christmas day - by Neil Allen The turkey had died in vain !! Christmas was ruined. If only my wife had paid more attention to our mother when we were being brought up. Let me explain . It has been a tough year financially in the Allen household. I have had to contribute to the Trust to allow some rich blokes to buy Pompey so that they can become even richer. The editor doesn't like me. He takes the p i s s as I look like a nerd. He won't give me a bonus until I can understand the difference between a sentence and a paragraph. But then the murk started to clear and beams of light appeared.. People contributed well to the Remembrance Day poppy appeal. The collection boxes were full. It meant that we could afford a turkey. And boy what a turkey we got. It must have been the loyallest, most passionate and loudest turkey in the world. It was going to taste great. But then lady luck struck an awful blow. Just when the wife put it into the oven we realised how well the plucky boys in blue had done last Saturday. Hartlepool may be bottom of the league but last Saturday was their Cup Final . Our boys went up there and did not lose. They hang monkeys up there but our lads came back undefeated. Even the pools panel said that it would have been a scoreless draw. If that doesn't deserve a celebration then what does?? My wife immediately got stuck into Poundland's best cooking sherry, forgot the turkey and the next thing we realised was that the turkey was burnt to a cinder. Christmas was ruined. Luckily the next door caravan had a spare hedgehog so we didn't go hungry ... but what a Christmas Day!!

Nurses are the only thing in life you can truly depend on.

Who thinks that we are going to get relegated? Lose a game and all bladder control is lost by some of the contributors on here.

True - I suppose he is unique. I doubt if many residents of Pompey can read so we are probably the majority of his readership. "Special" might be another way to describe him. He does look a bit "special" - don't you think?

Its amazing how Neil Allen gets employment as a jounalist when clearly he doesn't know the difference between a sentence and a paragraph. Mind you , he probably does not get paid very much. He cannot afford to buy a share by himself. He has to club together with some of his work colleagues to be able to afford one. Perhaps if he had passed that O level in English he might be working somewhere better by now.

Hmmm.... are you sure about that? I understood that Cortese insisted that was part of the contract. He is a bit of a hard nut when it comes to negotiating things like that.

You have forgotten the 3 minutes added time at the end of that game.

So why did he come on with 15 mins to go against Reading? Has the clause been put back into his contract?? As we won that game, perhaps it is a good clause to be in the contract!

Sounds like a commune if you ask me.

I wonder if Porky Penny has coughed up her grand. She has mouthed off so often about the Trust that she is duty bound to support the PDT but you would like to think that a member of Her Majesty's Government would have the insightful skills not to be taken in by fantasiists and b u l l s h i t.

I see that Nicky Nutjob is running in the 2.45 at Bangor on Dee. At 25/1 it could be worth an each waywager.

If we are going to have a witchhunt for the bed wetters it is not just Alpine who posts a lot less when we win.

Perhaps apologies to those who were personally insulted would be in order. Wrong opinions are inevitable and can be forgiven. Personal insults are not.

I agree.

Maybe those individuals will think twice next time.
