Finishing let us down today, thought we bossed it and played well.

I start every game optimistic, but switch to pessimism every time we concede a corner or free kick. I anticipate each game to be a win, but am never completely surprised if they turn into defeats. Such is the lot of an SFC fan.

The forecast is in our favour.

A time honoured SWF tradition

Don't worry Bearsy, the badgers are with you.:badger:

Favorite pompey joke ? - taking a look at the L1 table.

"And with little sympathy in the game from rival clubs for Pompey’s plight......." But I thought everybody, other than scummaaaaahs, loved them because of their plucky fight against the odds and their bestest (tm ) fans.

Is it anything like the GTC Stephen Ireland bought ? Mind you, he's also had this abomination :

Not more pompey mythmatics ?

Agreed

Milts going fishing again.

Where do you see yourself ?

We haven't been "superb" under MP, but I'm not sure anybody seriously believes that anyway. However 2 things I am sure of - he is here to the end of the season, and the squad of players isn't going to change, so beating ourselves up over things we have no influence over isn't going to help our collective sanity over the remaining games.

See, I'm on here for 2 minutes and we score - sorry I was out for the first 43.

I thought the Atlantis myth was derived from the volcanic destruction of Thera ( Santorini ).

Blackburn Botha.

We're not going to get anybody else as a back-up now - other than switching Clyne across or playing a CB out of position, he IS our backup to Shaw until the end of the season.

I was responding to the claim he is amongst the top ten English managers "of all time". In my opinion, he fails to get near Herbert Chapman, Bobby Robson, Alf Ramsey, Bill Nicholson, Brian Clough, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Don Revie, Howard Kendall, or Ron Saunders. ( I think that's ten ! )

Draw up a list of all the things he has won as a manager, include all of his promotions, and this is what you get : Bournemouth Football League Division Three: 1986–87 Football League Trophy: 1984 West Ham United UEFA Intertoto Cup: 1999 Portsmouth Football League Division One: 2002–03 FA Cup: 2008 Tottenham Hotspur Football League Cup finalists: 2009 Take away the 'bought' FA Cup with the Skates and the cupboard is pretty bare for such a media darling.

I think I was harsh on Wigan.

2 games vs Man Utd - were always likely to lose ( being realistic ) Everton away - odds on home win Stoke we deserved a point, on another day their 3rd goes over the bar and we win Fulham - we should have won Newcastle - first half we played the ref as well; how the f*** did Tiotte avoid a booking, 2 goals conceded - 1 fluke 1 offside. second half, dodgy penalty and another fluke due to confusion in the defence. In all of these games I don't honestly think the time of our first goal affected the outcome.

Dont think he's ( ? ) been accused of being a Skate yet.
