Dark Munster

Remember Alan Ball (RIP), when manager of Man City, instructed his players near the end of their end of season match against liverpool to hang on to a draw? He heard from someone in the crowd that we were losing (which was false), so erroneously thought a draw would prevent City from being relegated. Well that was a minor mistake compared to this idiocy: http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/11/10/09/SOCCER_South_Africa.html&TEAMHD=soccer&BID=165 How the hell can the coach not know the tie-breaking rules before the final match? I knew many footballers are thick, but this takes the cake!

Could well be, although if so, he probably copied it from Paisley. Gazza and Rush were both as daft as brushes.

In fairness, being thick isn't necessarily a handicap for a talented footballer. For example, Ian Rush was described as being "as daft as a brush" by the late, great Bob Paisley. Of course, being crap and thick is a bit of a problem.

The FA would have to be clueless, complete morons, and stark raving bonkers to appoint him. Which I guess makes it a real possibility.

"Ok, Mr. Dubov, I'll hold my hand out, if you insist. What ... what are you going to do with that lead pipe?"

2010/11 3rd place 80 points 2009/10 3rd place 79 points 2008/09 3rd place 80 points 2007/08 3rd place 75 points So 80 points was enough to finish 2nd in each of the last 4 years (with a good goal difference required in 2 of them).

Strange, I dreamt that 2 years ago! http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?14620-Pompey-Takeover-Saga&p=526567#post526567

We all know how MLT would fare.

It's the small ones you can't see that worry me.

Apart from De Ridder, Cork, Fox and Hooiveld.

Maybe it's because half their team are ex-Saints (and some of them want to add Lambert to that list).

Oh, a quiz, this is fun! Let's see ... a multi-billionaire, with not too many years left, buys a football club. He has no need of extra money. And what's the old saying: "To make a small fortune in football is to start with a large one." I think I'll stick my head out and go for option 1. Although, I don't think he was desperate. Which is more than can be said for a couple of Russian chancers I can think of.

Dalek and Hypo now on 3/3. The Derby game will see one (or both) fall.

Yes, but how many got promoted? (That's all that counts).

A dream team for Cheats FC after Stevie-boy gets the boot: Wigley the manager, with Gray as his assistant. Or the other way around. I'm not fussy.

Good shout. Peach MLT Beattie Crouch Lambert How many clubs can boast such a consistent production of brilliant penalty takers? How many have that lot missed between them? You could probably count the misses on the fingers of one hand.

We already are.

You mean they wouldn't even consider Stuart Gray?

Can't find it. Do you have a direct link?

But don't you wish you were wrong?

Don't you mean 3/8 each half?

60 seconds to get an equaliser.

Can anybody else see that losing at home to one of the worse teams in the div is not good enough !!. i for one want to see pompey move forward and strat playing football, the players are a good bunch and with s-cum comming up its time to bring in a decent manager !!! PUP The few are getting nervous about their impending rogering in December. Poor dears. ‘We didn’t deserve that – if we take our chances the game is out of sight, anyway. ‘There was one occasion where they must have had four or five fantastic blocks to stop us scoring.

They can do better than Hart. Come on Vladimir and Roman, you know it makes sense.

If Corpse keeps "PMSL", should we be kind and all chip in to buy some of these for her?
