Very detailed - pitchside turn right, pitchside turn right......hope the torch carriers all know their left from right :-)

ditto. very moving.

They tend to, when possible, keep ex players away from their "favoured" clubs. Thommo never does Liverpool in the same way Matt never does us....the only time I can remember is that last day win or bust v. Sheff Utd a few years ago, but I'm sure that was only for the cruelty factor.

I like Merson BUT not when he is doing our games ! If the OP thinks that was bad he should have heard him when they showed the goals....we have a new player called Shinerlin too ! With benefit of replays he should be able to tell who is who, the og was pretty easy to spot if only cos Fonte has 1 number on his back while Jos has 2 !!

ditto .......then went mad for a while and had to sit down before I collapsed.

My hero too ! Scored virtually all his goals that season at home.....probably something to do with us being generally crap away from home ;-)

Nobody in my 35 year of watching them. The great Phil Boyer scored three in one season back in 1979 but they were all at home.

I think those crafty cockneys from Upton Park are forgetting the number of penalties they have won, or the fortunate goals they have scored of late. Gonna feel like ****s when its pointed out both our pens were genuine

Just shown the goals on SSN......both stonewall pens, even Merson said he needs glasses thinking it was a Saints player handling it when it was clearly not.

I honestly cant see a problem with giving them this information at all. Like an earlier poster said there was no need to be so snotty with them as they gave a valid reason for asking. When my old man has booked for us on a couple of occasions they asked for the names of the people in the party.

I think he will put Guly upfront, bring in Chaplow right midfield and leave Sharp on the bench personally.

Bet you said that about Rochdale last season.

It doesnt take much to upset them does it ? Fancy neing a "club partner" to a club as deep in the mire as they are......not GAME by any chance is it ?

I expect West Ham paid for it, either that or the FL deducted it out of the £800k they have given them to keep going until the end of the season.....after all cant have one of your award winners liquidated, wouldn't look too clever would it

Jordan Sibley has tweeted that Pompey "bought" two tables for this event tonight.......I wonder if they had to pay up front or if the FL deducted it out of the £800k they gave them ?

well why should he ? whats he done more outstanding than Lee Clark's Huddersfield with their year long unbeaten record or Adkins steering us to the top of the championship to name just 2

And now Poyet wins outstanding Managerial Achievement award..........wtf ? Expect Whittingham to pip Rickie and Adam to their nominated award.

Family club of the year award ? Leaves you speechless doesn't it.

I dont disagree with you at all.

The title of the thread is "How have we got here?" and he is part of how we got here so get over it because using your "logic" we cant mention Markus cos he is no longer here either !

Go on, just for entertainment value, do tell how ?

Agree with that. He installed a winning mentality which Adkins has been able to just pick up and carry on running with. Pardew kept saying the players had forgotten how to win. He deserves a hell of a lot more credit than I'm sure he will get here. But of course without Markus and Nicola none of this would have happened.

The runs are only aimless cos nobody picks him out. If you watch him carefully his movement and runs are very clever. Like a younger and fitter Connolly who for me has the best footballing brain in the whole squad.

Agreed. If the OP was impressed seeing him live yesterday its a pity he wasn't there for the Ipswich game where he really was excellent. Looks a better bet than Sharp at present but in the long run that may change.

Cant say too much cos my mate has a touch of man love for Rickie but he was poor today by his standards.
