This apparently is the person behind Ethereum, in days past would you have trusted putting your hard earned cash in anything he advised you to!

oh behave, 'persuades him to mishandle the ball' The only wy the keeper is going to drop the ball in the net is under pressure, it was not a barge or charge.In theory a keeper only has to run out for every corner touch the ball and any forward who 'persuades him to mishandle ' the ref blows his whistle. It is pathetic and whilst I understand your referees union and so trying to protect the ref from a diabolical decision, it is plain wrong and football is lost to these borderline rules that allow Atkinson to hide behind. I am fully behind giving the refs some protection from criticism, but on this occasion it was wrong and if I was a Chelsea fan id be laughing up my sleeve.

I saw a fan with Carillo on his shirt talk about a bad choice

I would expect the evidence to be either gone or tampered with.The crime scene has had too long in the wrong hands on either side to be sure of the outcome.

You are right we do manage to dodge the cups Mack, we don't have much luck at Wembley with the officials, whereas you lot have a lot of luck with officials especially that silly woman judge in the winding up court. How you lot pulled the wool over her eyes lol. BTW Mack are you going through the change, as your posts that used to be amusing, have become very bitter

Exactly, didn't Puel also say he was happy with the squad he inherited?? No manager comes in not wanting players, allpart of the muddying of the waters to keep certain people away from the muck. I was also told yesterday by another fan,that Les had a minder, is that true???

they had tickets and so were members, who must have been to games. Its disgraceful that they weren't wearing replica kits with their guts hanging out, shame on them

Ihave mentioned before that Redmond would be best up alongside Austin or Long as a no.10 Yesterday I think it showed he could do that job,and he added a spark to our team. Hopefully he will get a chance to show the doubters that he is a very decent footballer and he will be like a new signing

Yep, Norwich in our relegation season, definitely against Pompey

Exactly, I was bemused as I saw loads of fans walking out after the 2nd goal, and a lot of them were Chelsea fans!!!! We all were young once, and we have done our miles ok I'm not OAP yet but it is pretty sad to have young fans moaning at the older ones. Perhaps if they actually got the singing going we might join in.

.....

I know its Bournemouth and its hard . but we have to make the atmosphere as hostile as possible from the outset. Not fighting their fans, but making their players feel uncomfortable

Well talking to somebody who gets some decent info, we are in the financial mire and why Rogers probably jumped ship, as he can see the writing on the wall. No doubt if it is true we will see very soon into the summer.

Just underlines to me that we are in the mire, but also Merrington does talk nonsense

Steady you were telling us Pelle was rubbish, how many did he score that season?

Chelsea were the better side, but they are a better side so why are fans surprised that we tried to hang in there and hope for something to go our way. In games like this you need a bit of luck to go your way, and not have the ref giving any 50-50 decisions against you. Hughes is correct if we had been awarded the goal the whole balance of the game could have changed. We were growing in confidence and Chelsea were less assured. Was Hoedt pushed for the 2nd goal as I cant see how he ended on his haunches not challenging Chelsea on chances deserved to win but that means nothing as we have found out many times oursekves

the support was very flat. We had 2 lads by us who were trying to get the fans singing up high in the stand, but we couldn't get them going. We all went with low expectations and were just waiting for the death knell it seemed. We need to make the B'mouth game as hostile as possible, I know its hard as it will be like being nasty to our favourite aunt but needs be on this occasion

its a bit odd that the chemical inspectors haven't been allowed to inspect the site. Extra time to clean the site up? Surely if you are innocent you would want the inspectors in straightaway

Probably like ours who felt entitled

Not at all I could have done with at least another 4, and there would be many like me. quite a few fans go, but with other friends families buying them. If it is ture Chelsea can sell 3 per memebership we could as well, why would our club want us to have less fans??? It is shameful and that is why our club is going to pot

when he went to Leicester they were 1 point above the relegation zone. Perhaps Leicester might realise that you need to bed in and build. Vardy's and Mahrez wont be there forever and so they have to plan after the long ball for Vardy. Anyway he is no longer Saints manager, but if anyone had said last April that Puel would be gone and MH was going to be our manager most would have thrown their arms up and laughed at the nonsense of it

Are you still investing/ putting money in these things, or have you sold???

It also gives the opposition more, to muddy the waters

The downside of us getting out of the trouble we are in , is that he would be even more full of himself as he had timed the sacking right lol

yeah and some on here thought Stephens was a good replacement for VVD lol
