  1. It was the international market crash, everyone knows that, they were just very unlucky. It certainly wasn't theft, fraud, greed, delusion, lies and tax evasion.
  2. Don't forget how Micah personally researched all the criminal owners and exclusively exposed them on his blog. #hero If only we'd thought of doing that - then this thread might have been longer.
  3. The Jed 'superstar' Wallace auction hots up...he's going all villainous sometime soon. Inevitably his form has alerted a number of clubs from higher divisions
 Yeah, that'll be because most people are in higher divisions! It's not really possible for pompey players to attract interest from clubs lower in the league pyramid.
  4. There is a little storm brewing. It will not reflect well on the club. A fans' hero will turn villain. It will be an engaging story. That Nutjob teaser should keep Mr G out of jail for the mo.
  5. Confucious he say, if you are a **** in real life you will probably come across as a **** on Saintsweb. I think we could ask the same question about how people behave in a football ground as part of a crowd. I'm fairly sensible on the street but if Kevin Friend denies us one more blatant penalty I will go effing mental at him. And that would be an interesting video - see a film of yourself at a game and see how many times it makes you wince.... So I guess your forum persona could also be your SMS persona, respected businessmen in the week, looney on matchdays - though the abuse chucked out on here at times would get you banned if you tried it at a game! It can be nice on occasions to hide behind a user name, I could do without clients reading my posts - but you still have to accept responsibility for what you say so it's not a licence to abuse. I'm not sure I've ever fully ripped into anyone on here (Ho apart), I just keep a black book of those who've had a pop at me.... The best use of the anonymity for me is meeting some infamous semi-celeb people at events and thinking, god, if only he knew the stuff that the mad fuc£er RB has written about him! But the tip I would give any newcomer is, think before you type, then think again - the late night pretentious drunken rant about hankie waving, player exodus, never going again or manager sacking looks less like a good idea when dug up a few months later, even if you are hiding behind a user name.
  6. So the Inland Revenue does have a sense of humour - plus a list of pompey associates, and a long memory.
  7. They are 4th in the league table on current form. Sadly the team that is top of that form guide is between them and the playoffs. And several that are in that top eight are also in the mix for the playoffs. If they replicated their impressive record of one defeat in ten it would not be enough to meet the points haul they need to make the playoffs. I'm thinking that perhaps the playoffs might be beyond them. And even if they did make them, their inability to put away very poor sides like Cheltenham would suggest they would not win them. Shame.
  8. This does look like a bit of a crisis for the property developing Trust. Financial shenanigans, accusations, chairman forced out, a resignation - next thing they'll be telling us our shares are worthless! Who'd have thought it possible in the new world of transparency, especially after they drove all of the crooks out of their club. At least Chanrai only helped himself to money, he didn't give his mates interest-free loans and abuse supporters as well. But a win tonight and all is well, nothing else matters is the motto that the former club owners adopted over the last decade - the Trust proudly continues following in the footsteps of the child-maimers, the pension-robbers, the money-launderers and the loan shark.
  9. He resigned 'because of the behaviour of one of his fellow Trust board members'....which must have been pretty bad to make you want to jack it all in. I think they need to come up with a good explanation before we invent 35 of our own. My first guess is the rather odd loan to Europe's greatest investigative journalist.
  10. You have to feel sorry for Poch. His only target was to get into the top four and that little dream is disappearing faster than a greedy man responding to a call from North London. But at least he can be proud of the achievements of the team that he left us and that is doing pretty well - Forster, Mane, Pelle, Tadic etc, all those great players that Poch brought in that have made Ronald look so good.
  11. The real QPR accounts are now being publicised. A £50M fine if they get relegated?....if that comes to pass Redknapp's CV will no longer look like a car crash, it'll look like 9/11. Maybe he's just unlucky.
  12. According to official BBC stats, of their worldwide audience it seems that out of every 1,000 Top Gear viewers, two have signed the petition. Whereas among UK residents he has the overwhelming support of approx 1 in 100.
  13. He was obviously an engaging character. I've not read any of his books but if his simple farewell on Twitter was anything to go by, perhaps I should. Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night.
  14. There's a lot of interest in Jed Wallace at the moment...translates in reality as, Peterborough asked about him - over two years ago! Since then, no offers. Nice spin though, what with season ticket time around the corner. It'll soon be time for the annual rallying cry and rousing sales talk about a promotion warchest and of course a free summer holiday for a random gaggle of out-of-contract journeymen.
  15. In the light of recent appalling refereeing performances by various clowns that was a very good game. We have seen too many occasions when United have been allowed to get away with loads at Old Trafford, fair play to Oliver, brave and correct - no doubt his decisions were made easier by having Rooney as an assistant in his face all night. Next step - give penalties against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, to be introduced asap.
  16. Initially £0, but the revised figure after two more administrations will be much nearer £0. But however many donations went straight to DC he can't compete with Niemi when it comes to draining the finances down east. He was paid £450,000 and got less pitch time than overexcited Villa fans. ZERO appearances!
  17. I'll whisper it so as not to tempt fate....but I think their season is over. Unless they start delivering a level of form not achieved by anyone in the division all season, the earliest that they will be playing League One football is 17 months from now.

    Solve It

    10. But it wasn't easy!
  19. Presumably a few have taken the mick out of Ralph for his lack of soccer experience, I guess that was judgement day! As all ended injury-free it looked like a really good laugh and ticked the correct boxes, even if one or two got chilly.
  20. Well done boys, consolation prizes for not quite ripping up League Two. Awford has set a new record, he went into the red zone on the HeroVillainometer a month ago and has popped straight back. He can now complete the trick by going on a run of four defeats. Go for it mush, ya legend.
  21. That could be a bumpy ride ahead for QPR, I believe they were totally solvent and comfortably midtable when Harry left, not that he knew anything about the money side of things, or how his phone works. A good spot that, and a little nostalgic. It reminds me of when pompey made stuff up. Luckily those days are long gone and we are now in an age of transparency so you don't get unusual little matey loans in the Trust accounts or donations described as shares.
  22. Holmes and the case of the revenge of the former hero of Fatpipes Lodge.... That can't be right, wasn't he the bloke who was told by Awford that he wasn't good enough for League Two? A lucky rebound I guess.
  23. if you're going to do your own jokes my work here is done...or is that the cunning plan? We need the Ho back, his approach was well entertaining!
  24. because the play-off dates clash with the planting of the late potato crop on Fatpipes Farm?
