It always was madness having the away fans having half one end

Im even more sure they haven't faced a talented footballer take a shot at them wit the new footballs that I used nowadays. McCarthy is a decent keeper, I feel his worst mistake this season was against Brighton where he should have come and collected the cross when we had just gone 2 up. Big mistake that cost us. As for Gunn, we haven't seen him face a PL attack in the league, a risk if heisnt as good as some make out. I don't think City would sell if he was that good

I get where you are coming from but we are at least scoring some goals, unlike in large periods last and the start of this season. The squad is bloated with players with no pace of physique. Athletic teams with midfields like West Ham and Watford will survive as they overpower teams like us. Ralph is testing young players for their speed and the enthusiasm of youth, as the bulk of the squad is so onepaced. I think we will be Ok but we have to up our game soon when the slightly easier games come around. As was pointed out before on here on other threads Swansea did well for a period and looked safe last season but then fell off the cliff, we mustn't do the same. This weekend has been demoralising due to the results of other clubs

yep

Typical West Ham came to ours and looked strong , go to Burnley and are a joke ffs

I doubt the extra wages would have made any difference. BTspotrt is rubbish, so biased having McManaman doing to co presenting 'Defo penalty without a doubt' If it had been given against Liverpool he would be wanting a public enquiry. I cancelled Bt sport ages ago due to the pundits on there

the tiredness caught up with us. WHU had fresher and more powerful athletic players in midfield. Antonio was very good and it was a blessing for them that he was played there due to late injury. You could see our players were slower and not at it , probably due to the extra work they are doing. Sadly there is little in reserve to take some of the workload. As others have said Les left us with a load of nothing. I don't agree about Valery and Targett playing poorly, they were just jaded like the rest of the team. WHU are a very good side in the making and next season if not this will finish top 7

Turkish you are a card, you like Les disappeared for a long time and now with a glimmer of improvement you rise your head with 'Trust in Les'stuff lol

Ashdown imo was a decent man, if you forget his unfaithfulness

Im didnt like jrm but I saw him on youtube answering some questions from students. He came over quite well and his explanation to them why they should pay back their Student loans was pretty good.

I did think it was strange that their names were released very quickly. I assume they will be sueing the papers etc

it is a shame that we didn't have coaches instructing him to use his passing skills to go forward not sideways or backwards. He really needs to start showing aggressive attacking passes that may not give such a good percentage of success but t least create something. I also feel he has been unlucky in respect his corners are good but we haven't had a dominant forward to make use of them

A double glazing salesman and his wife !!!!

Only a third of a smile Mack, you won and Liverpool are 4 points clear at the top. Happy Christmas to you btw Funny , I had a text from a Pompey mate who hasn't mentioned football for 4 seasons lol

the Mahrez penalty miss will be costly. All the stars are lining up for them, the last minute winner against Everton, Mahrez penalty miss and they do seem to have the luck going their way.I would love them to go unbeaten and finish 5th lol. Pompey promotion and Liverpool title winning will take the shine off this season

Arrested 2 people apparently. Lets hope they get a long period in prison. I doubt they have much sympathy from the public

there goes the strides our national team has made.

I have mentioned before the danger of these things. A plane coming inot land is very vulnerable to these. Should they be sold under licence only?? Imagine them being flown into crowds with chemicals or fuel etc. A ccheap way of spreading terror for little cost.

I dont worry either but he said woman, the stupid thing is that is he had owned up to it and said sorry ,heat of moment it would have been fine. To me he has lied,and that is a problem for him. The lip readers have come out and said he did say woman, and I am pretty certainthat is what he said.

I dont think it was empty. There was hell of a thud and the echo coming from the empty space was quite loud

It is what the future brings us. When I started going inthe late 60's it was part of the match day experience seeing sets of fans going at each other. As time went on and it got nastier, it was time for things to change. It did, and now going to away games is not the madness it was inthe 70's when wearing away colours was a no-no. I'm glad I had those experiences, but now my daughters and granddaughter go Im mightily glad it is in the main a thing of the past. Personally I think the worst time to go to games when the trouble was at its worst was the Mid to late 70's. In the late 60's to the ear;y70's the Police had little idea how to control it. The poor sods tried to stand between the fans but had little chance to really control the mobs. I recall at least twice at half time the Police coming on the tannoy threatening to postpone the game if the fighting didnt stop in the Milton end. It was Chelsea and West Ham games if I recall correctly. It was London clubs Im sure of that.

His style of play and culture he brings would fit exactly into place IMO

Whilst many will find it amusing Spurs losing Poch to United in the summer, by then there may be a manager who plays pressing football and been a success in the PL that would fit straight in with Spurs squad. We wont be smiling then.

I think you need to put some mirrors up in your home if you think she is stupid. Whilst she may not be the brightest person on earth,you dont get to become PM being stupid.

is it coincidence irony that there is uproar about a 'Stupid woman' quote from Corbyn then if you scroll to the top of the page there is a picture of Abbott lol. This is a woman he has promoted
