"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 ! )

Badgerx16 post count 6275+, 110_Persaint post count 265. Don't patronise me, sonny jim

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.

The 6 games you refer to are the 2 against Man Utd, away @ Everton / Stoke / Nouveau Castile, and home against Fulham. Other than being under-par against Fulham how many points would you have expected to get ?

What about 'Fergie Time' ?

Saints on 41 - wins aginst QPR, West Ham, West Brom, and an end of season celebration against Stoke. Reading, Wigan, and QPR go down

12 of those 17 were in games before Christmas, ( 7 before the end of September ), and 3 of them were in the 6-1 game against Arsenal. What does this stat prove exactly ? ( EDIT : we have conceded goals in 23 games - in 10 of which we have NOT let a goal in between minute 30 and half time. Presumbaly we weren't knackered from all the running around in those games, or the clean sheets ? )

Foy was cr@p in the first half, Fox was cr@p in the second. Look forward to smashing QPR next week.
