Thank God that the German DMark (worth 30p in those days) was the same shape and size as a UK 5 pence piece!!

Heysel happened the next year. We did end up in Europe but got knocked out in the first round by Hamburg. Away to Hamburg was one of the best trips possible. Boy did we have sme fun !!

Exactly. Subsequent relegations had nothing on that particular match. We finished second in the league that season as well!!

What drives me mad is when that wonderful radio station Talk Sport claim that the grey shirts game was the 6-3 match.

Some great advice here. I mentioned this thread to my miisus who is a midwife & used to run parentcraft classes. She approves of the advice that you have been given on here. (She is in the camp of keep them in the same room as you - if you want to but to move them out if you do not)/ The more unusual tips she came up with are Dont buy clothes for 0 - 3 months. They grow out of them too quick. Dont buy all the gadgets. You don't need them. eg Put the baby in the bath with you. You dont heed a baby bath and its much more fun for you. Buy a baby bouncer and dont be afraid to put the baby in the bouncer in front of the washing machine. Babies are fascinated by washing machinesand thisis a way to give you some peace and quiet if they start to get fractious. The best bit of advice we were given was "Babies come to live with you - you don't go to live with them". Of course you spoil them. You love tthem to bits. Of course you do everything you possibly can for them. But you create a rod for your own back if you give into their every whim as they get older. Don't change your life for ever. The couple who gave us this advice ended up with 3 very well adjusted normal daughters. Our son seems ok (well most of the time!!). My mate who ignored this advice now has a spoilt brat of a 9 year old daughter. He doesn't come to football any more. He doesn't go horse racing any more. He enjoyed being a father in the eary days....but he is not so happy now.

Having failed to get one in our end, how easy is it to get tickets with the home fans at Arsenal?

Great photo. At least there is 21 of them. I wonder which one is Stumpy

+1.

Most of you pimpey lot are too thick to know how to write emails to the football league. Now p i s s off back to pol you thicko and enjoy the rest of your life in your rightful position below us.

Not if they play like they did on Tuesday when they lost 3-0 to Swindon being torn apart in the second half.

Bompey are 12/1 with Bet365 to win by 4+ on saturday.

Depressed?? I think this is all highly amusing. Let them have a slow lingering death so that this thread can continue. Watching their team of triallists and no hopers struggle this season will provide us with many laughs. Suicidal? The biggest danger to life comes from someone dying from laughter.

You could do a lot worse than move to Ealing. I lived there 25 years ago and it used to be a top place. Friends still live in the area and although it has changed it is still a good place to be. Very convenient for the Holborn area.

Porky Penny has more important things to do than to associate with Pompey. That was last season's potential vote winner. She was on the news the other night slagging off the Lib Dems. She can probably sense that pompey are on the way out and is distancing herself from that car crash.

It is always funny when one of the pet skates comes on here and quotes revenue figures from gate receipts. They always forget VAT which at 20% eats into their revenue. Corp Ho (also known as "pig sick") always did it and now FMPR has missed it out of his calculations as well. Are skates allergic to tax?

Deffo the Norwegian . Pleased it wasnt just me who saw the Hitler salute from the German = unbelievable!!

In anticipation of receiving money from the bookies (Pompey to get relegated this season at 6/1 ) I would like: 1 XXL T shirt for myself. 1 T shirt for rallyboy. Let him tell you his size. The guy has given me so many laughs the least I can do is buy him a T shirt. Put whatever change is left from £50 towards the £700 required for the plane. At this rate we will have a whole squadron of planes circling Fratton Park on 10 August

I just think that it is so considerate of them to arrange for their disappearance to happen on a friday. Without work the next day it means that we can have a really good celebration.

Good idea. Both Stan James and Bet Victor have introductory offers. It is certainly worth investigating.

Christ - Corp Ho is still as boring as ever. He reminds me of the nutter in Jasper Carrot's sketch about meeting a nutter on the bus.

Ladbrokes ( a bit more accessible than Betfair) price Rickie to be top scorer at 80/1, You can get 125/1 on Tadanari, 150/1 for Adam and Jay. Jay and Rickie could be worth a small wager. The price that stands out for me is the 18/1 for us to beat Man City. You can get this at Stan James and Bet Victor amongst others. 18/1 is bookies parlance for saying that we do not deserve to be anywhere on the same pitch as Man City. To put it into context, when we were a division kower than Man U in the 1976 Cup Final we were quoted at 6/1. 18/1 is an amazing price and stranger things have happened than a Saints victory at Citeh.

I think that a new Pompey legend may be about to be born. Mind you inviting a lad from Portsmouth into the dressing room coud be a problem. I hope that the players don't leave any valuables lying around.

Wouldn't now be the best time for Tescos to give them that £20 million that Corp Ho used to bang on about? For you skate c u n t s that are reading this, that is "Banker" when he posts his drivel on your cesspit of a board.

It was a good feature and as you say the amount of detail that they collect was staggering. I had been told before that each player's urine is tested before each training session. If your pee is dodgy you do not train. I wonder why Burley didn't introduce something like that!!

If we did that for everyone who has given us a laugh on this thread the number of statues outside FF's house would exceed the Pompey average attendance.
