Having a look at their results this season, they had a good start but have really tailed off, maybe mid table now, but if their current form persist pompey will be looking down before long.

The winter of discontent follows the autumn of moaning a bit, the summer of it's not like it used to be and the spring of general complaining.

If we got rid of the gravel working we could turn watching saints to being like going to the Monaco Grand prix, the wealthy can tie up their boats and then watch a turgid hour and a half of non action! Perfect.

The one way to guarantee you fix such a problem is when too many people start doing it. Someone go check Jimmy Carr's house, if he is doing it they will definitely do it!

The nice thing about laws is that we can change them, so if something seems dodgy but legal we can fix it. Although I doubt there will be much appetite for actually doing anything.

What professional credibility do you have? Could I check out your published work? Can I read your journal articles? Is the problem with the data collection, the methodology or the conclusions? Is it possible to show me which studies are flawed and why they were wrong. Science is freaking amazing, it provides me with a good life. But because I said so is not normally the way we do it. My area of work has nothing to do with studying climate but I am sufficiently knowledgeable to read the papers on the subject that pertain to the chemistry portion and get what they are saying and understand the data sets. Not sure there are many others on here who have actually read a climate study research paper or attended a lecture with someone presenting their research. The whole point of science is that it is based on demonstrable facts. We do not know everything so a lot of the knowledge is provisional, science gives us the framework to flesh out the details, and that the point. Regards Dr Mysticforce PhD

I have just read two of the worst articles from a "newspaper" I have ever read. They seem to have forgone the normal way of structuring a story for instead firing a shotgun loaded with sentences and seeing what order they would appear in. So Kitson was despised for being above average intelligence of a footballer in Portsmouth, maybe he should have cashed in the atmosphere rather than the pay cheque.

If it comes with a prawn sandwich I am in.

I remember doing it 8 times in an afternoon but I got a real bad headache. On the other hand I thought Gaston Ramirez might come good in time and I got that one wrong.

I am much better at wanking than judging player potential.

He fucked up on Afghanistan, better on covid. Afghanistan has been a problem for a real long time so maybe it is better overall to cut your loses early there and focus elsewhere as Machiavelli suggested in "The Prince" Basically do the unpopular but necessary thing early in your reign so they are forgotten about displaced from the consciousness by other later actions. Its telling to see that when confronted by the crisis of ISIS in Iraq the country of Iraq came together to deal with it. When confronted by the Taliban Afghanistan could not, because clearly the people do not share that common connection of being of one state.

UK companies 'perform better' with overseas owners Its ok now we have turfed out those unelected eurocrats running our country (well I do not live their anymore but still) we can create room for foreign corporate overlords to dictate how the country operates. So welcome to US bankers, Chinese government owned companies and eccentric tech entrepreneurs deciding stuff. Way better don't you think?

So they have simply decided on a new system of division of labour. Instead of one guy in charge of all aspects with another guy helping him then going down to specialised coaches below them they have decided to have two people responsible for different areas with the specialised coaches reporting into the respective area leader. Its hardly something to suggest the world has ended. But a reasonable system that might have intrinsic benefits over the alternative system. Clearly what we were doing was failing to produce the same results as at earlier times, maybe in former times our setup under different coaches has gravitated to this model without being formally in place ie "Jason can you concentrate on the individual training, while I work with players on overall setup?" and the exact way tasks are divided up based on individual choice of those running it at that time rather than an overall plan. It seems like it might be better to allocate personnel based on their best attribute (or recruit ones based on their ability doing a certain thing) than make everyone a generalist. We will see if this works out or not, but to describe changing an organizational structure as "pony" just because some labels have changed seems rather ridiculous

Ah I forgot the whole Portsmouth connection.

Didn't manage to resurrect Brian Travers though.....

Whats wrong with people these days? Do people not like sex anymore? Fit girl in a paramedics uniform in the back of the ambulance yes please! People are such kill joys.

Some kind of beigey, pinkish, orangey cyanish green I think.

I do not know the power of a shirt but the amount of no virtue being signaled is quite blinding by some around here. All this agro for an ugly shirt and people being upset that picking on people is considered a negative behavior.

As hunger seems to be one of the main criteria looked for, I suggest we leave a trail of hotdogs outside St Mary's and sign whoever turns up.

The one group of people it does not include are those who do not like such a visual assault of colour on their eye balls. I do not have a problem with the message but the clashing colour do bother me. There are several white stripes on there presumably to ensure it covers the white hetero cis men.

A cunt, he is a cunt.

I have disliked the womens US team since they complained it was not fair that Sweden parked the bus at the last Olympics. Not helped by their complaining about the deal they negotiated was unfair and rejecting an alternative because they wanted a system with more guaranteed income and benefits but lower bonuses, then to complain when they figured out they would be better off with the alternative deal. The US team has had a significant advantage over their rivals for many years that dominance is coming to an end and they wlll have to get use to it. However trump is still a cu......

"Same old pompey, always cheating" They are almost a parody of themselves at this point it is just too easy!

This is continuing to look like my pre season playing football manager with the non league download. because the scouting is crap you just sign loads of trialists, set up some friendlies and see if any of them are any good. Surprised that a "proper" team has to do that.

I thought the crowd was the 12th man? So that means there is now only one person attending Fraton Park to watch, and he is even unsure if he wants to come back!
