Personally Id like to keep Stephens, he is passionate and did well last season. A good tough determined player.

why not, who wants to pay the extra policing etc to appease fans who want to have a bt of bother/banter. They will bring their bile and the less the better.

Well standing back from your jolly joust, it looks like bullying to me. You know what you are doing and sadly MLG falls for it and cant help but respond. I don't like to see it and felt it needed calling out. Usually your humerous side is very good and can be entertaining but not on ths occasion. Nobody else has agreed with me and so it must be me who thinks it.

To be fair Larios we cant really be the judge of, it is not his fault he got some bad injuries. Edozie still to mind could turn out well. I still believe Wilcox has been let off the hook of criticism, he was lauded for all those good buys and getting RM but really was he that good? Man Utd dont seem to have improved in their recruitment since he went there

JWP will give us a late penalty to get us a draw by jumping and catching a cross, thus Archer will step up and

I feel we all accept that the squad really isnt up to it. In the past you could think, ohh when x comes back fit again or comes back from a ban, we could improve but we havent anyone in the background who can improve this team. It is a sobering thought. Juric took a punt that he could improve the teams results, that didnt happen of course but Martin takes a bigger share of the blme IMO as he was the one who helped build the pile of rubbish. I will always appreciate Fernandes and Ramsdales efforts, as they really dont deserve tobetarnished by the muck around them. KWP has a honary pass, Manning gives his all,JB perhaps but I cant think of any others who really can hold their heads up. Interesting seeing so many running for the lifeboats, no women and children first in their minds, just cost us lots of points and now buggering off before the season has finished.

Come on Turks, this is little more than bullying. You are better than that. We all know MLG is a pedant and is in his nature something he was born with. Give him a break

you need to keep up, front page news on the Daily Male

SR not understanding the fans and dislike of anybody with Pompey connections, could well employ him as another slap in the face

As in ridiculous that the manager picks them?

Flynn playing against his first love too

Why are Arsenal players trying to imitate an Archer penalty

We are of differing opinions, and going around in circles.

Many times but they are submersed by the many days of dross. Cup semi final v Palace 1976 Cup final 76 Fratton 84 My first ever first team game when we lost to Leeds 3-1 circa 1968-69 First away game WHU Tommy Jenkins wonder jinking run and goal 1970? First Fratton game in with their fans we won 2-1 Lew Chatterly scoring Beating Liverpool 4-1 Wallace days, in fact beating Liverpool anytime, Man Utd also Leyton Orient away when we got the point for promotion with Lawrie Dellhurst Park just too many to list although the disappointment list is longer lol

Well if you cheer every time we kick off then you could well have had a great day Are you really believing that the squad availible Saturday was capable of 'Having a go'? For all we know they may have been lol. Juric tried but that wasnt good enough for you and so you expect Rusk to be sullied by an obvious naive tactic of playing open football and tking a proper hiding. I want us to play good football but Ive seen us be dismantled by manymid range clbs this season, and Villa are better than them. Perhaps try it a bit more agianst West Ham, Fulham Leicester but then dont come back crying as we've beenbeaten badly. You alos need to take into account TP was only 60% fit due to his ankle injury and our other forward looks to be incapable, who else do we have, who can control our midfield to give a solid defensive cover to allow our team of creative playmakers to make those killer passes...........ohhhhhhh

it seems you are happy leaving the door open and see us let a bagful in. Seeing the stadium empty after 80 mins after their 2nd goal was bad enough but to see it after 25 is awful. The TV cameras would love that. You are set with your go down with all guns blazing stand, but with the squad as poor as it is, we wouldnt know the difference. Thankfully the manager did not go your way Saturday, the same result of course but for a long time it looked that it may work.

Well to me, being thrashed again does not give the fans pleasure. I understand the 'go for it' mindset, but not against a team who could tear us apart. Fans are disgruntled enough let alone another thrashing. I felt the fans on Saturday understood what we were trying to do, suffocate and perhaps nick something. Only after the worldy goal after our mistake did it go a bit pear shaped. I dont want to go the rest of the season being thrashed, but play with a bit of brain and get a little pride

we havent replaced the goals of Che lol

Shame

what a coup that would be, as big as Keegan comng here

I listened to the BBC podcast with Mourhinho today, what a manager.

Have i got it wrong ?

Yes the defenc does start at the front, but we havent the physically or type of player to do so. Tall Paul can cause problems with the ball up to him but he is not built to keep running down defenders. Its horses for courses. As for giving the midfield away, that is true but there was no combination availible to stop it. Perhps Flynn coming back with Lesley may provide a better more solid midfield this weekend

We did lose by 3 but playing gung ho was like inviting a Kamakazi pilot to fly you on a short break. Imagine if by going gung ho that we were 2 down in 15 minutes, it was sad to see so many leave when they scored the 2nd. Our fnbase is pretty demoralised as it is, but to risk a proper thrashing against one of the best teams in the league would be madness. How can we ever think that the team could 'go for it' is pie in the sky. Perhaps tyr to be more aggressive and attack on Saturday or perhaps at Leicester (they are looking better, and i dont hold out much hope there) where the quality of opposition is lower may be valid.
