Saint in Paradise

So were you a fan of that TV show "The Rag Trade" then?😀

Why would he have views on a news service he has probably never even heard of?? https://www.stuff.co.nz/ ( Breaking news and videos of today's latest news stories from around New Zealand, including up to date weather, World, sport, ...)

It's an unfortunate fact of life that appeasement never works the way the people who suggest it want it to. Sometimes you have to fight and fight hard, giving the Board, Jones and the players who love playing for him an easy time will just give them hope. By that I mean the hope that people will calm down and finally put up with all the nonsense and be good little sheep. These are not "the good old days" when local lads played for their local team and were loyal. These days players go where they can get the most money so at the end of the day a lot don't give a stuff about the team who pays them. They know their agent will get them another club after relegation, another club where they can kiss the badge, well until a better money offer appears in front of them.

I think that Rasmus Ankersen strongly follows the following way of thinking:- "I've only ever been wrong once and that's when I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken."

I bet the lad is happy he isn't here at the moment then.

Who on earth has put up a statue of Jones already? Fans of Portsmouth?

Also what's the betting that IF they get any really awkward questions they use bad weather as an excuse to close the forum early so that "everyone can get home safely? "😀

I am unable to read that and indeed several others on the Echo website as I am not a subscriber. Having written that however and after reading others comments I am still of the opinion that Mr Jones should resign before he damages himself even more and so makes himself unemployable by any other ambitious team in the four Leagues..

Remember the saying "It's the hope that kills you" ? Well I am now quite safe as I no longer have any hope that Saints will stay up.

I saw this joke the other day and it was supposed to be what a wife says to her husband. However I.M.H.O. it could also apply to what NJ and the board think. "I've only ever been wrong once and that's when I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken."

Well if he actually wins lots of PL games he will no longer need to react to personal insults as there won't be any. Any mere draws are not good enough when playing the teams in the lower half of the table. Finally, for now, excellent as that Man City result was it was just as much a fluke as either of the 9-0 results that Ralph presided over.

Instantly that made me think of this lady ( R.I.P. ) as I thought of this.

A truly exceptional musician who will be missed for a long time.

Back on original topic.... at least it's Winter in the UK as over here in NZ it's supposed to be Summer. Since sometime in November we have been subjected to massive amounts of rain and I for one have totally had enough. I blame that Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg Swedish person.

I know that in certain circumstances the good guy finishes last but that doesn't apply when managing a PL team.

Here is a very long thread you might like then 🤣 https://www.arrse.co.uk/community/threads/harry-and-megan-how-long-will-it-last.277296/page-2065

Perhaps SR are lining him up to be the new manager in a couple of weeks time? 😁 😁

I am sure some of the reprobates on here would say that is the only positive thing said about him. 😁

I am starting to wonder if SR etc are really secret Pompey supporters.

I expect Forest will win either 0 - 2 or 1 - 3 😟

Just goes to show that "there are none as blind as them that wants to be"

Well so far this season it shows that Southgate was in fact 100% correct in not picking JWP for England. I have said it for a long time that he is not a suitable captain and at the moment his form is so bad he doesn't even deserve a place on the bench.

Well I see that your Prime Minister shows how out of living in reality he is. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/rishi-sunak-asks-homeless-man-28809909

I seem to remember that about 3 or 4 years ago in the UK that a woman judge said it was patronising to call females "ladies"

When I first saw the name "Terry Hall" I instantly thought of the ventriloquist and Lenny the Lion. I also thought that he had died years ago which in fact he had. I had never heard of the chap it was actually about.
