you haven't done your last 13game statistics for a while.

Moans when we win lol. i am from a generation of Saints fans who were used to going away and would celebrate a boring draw, it seemed a rarity to get a win away. A lot of the younger fans have been spoilt the last few seasons with wins away on a regular basis. Enjoy a win away however it comes, the next one is normally some time away

I dont think cancelling the subscriptions is the way forward. GS will be getting off that he is the centre of attention and in the main the poster who upsets most. I had never asked the moderators to ban anyone in all the years i posted until a few months back when i raised my concerns about GS being a Skate/5th columnist. How about us having a poll set up if GS should be banned for a month to see if the site becomes more enjoyable again. if it came out that he was to be banned it may send a message to any other who wish to destroy something good, and at the same time get rid of the Skate

and there will come a time when Granty might say f-you lot and pull the site down. The trolls would have won, the Skate in Saints clothing would be able to back and brag to all on POL that he had got the saints forum closed. Ive met Granty and Baj and they are both decent lads and to a degree rely on people to be mature. The only issue I have is that posters like Bearsy who really add humour to stressful threads get infractions and GS can intentionally either derail or inflame to suit his Pompey agenda. IMO Turkish is never a troll, just good at throwing a grenade into a debate.

i agree this is a bit like the pub, I myself would be in the saloon bar:)

Duncan, it doesnt matter what ex-players thought of NC, thank god we didnt have one of them running the club. Where would we be now with them? As a fan I try to pull away from worshipping any ex player and accept they have faults away from football and their judgement may not be perfection. i respect and adore what MLT did for us when he was a player and love seeing him on Skysports.I paid nearly £1000 for one of his shirts at a charity auction, so I hardly have anything against him. As for your dealings with NC i respect that you had a falling out with him, but reading your posts it shows that you may not be the best to deal with if things are not going your way. The internet of course can give a skewed view and so that may not be the case in real life. NC did a fantastic job and I for one would have preferred he stayed as i liked his determination and single mindedness to get the club to the top. ML was no fool and if he was good enough for him then he should be good enough for us. Him not being chummy with ex-players and not stocking publications did not effect my enjoyment of our rise back to the heights, and the quick way that the new regime rushed into getting these things changed as NC left concerns me that they are more worried about popularity than success

Lovely way to end the day, congratulations

Duncan the majority of fans were very happy with the clubs progress under him. Had we had a less successful chairman we might still be in L1, how would we feel then. Yes the ex players would have their free tickets and might be happy, but fans like myself who turned up rain or shine would be worse off. We know why you didn't get on and sadly that caused a rift but could we be confident we would be where we are if it was not for NC ? Forget not he was the one who put the club and it's potential under ML's nose

dont all CEO,s ?

at long last you can admit it

I don't care what he earned, as a fan he got us to where we are now. We had Lowe, Crouch, Wilde and the goons before them etc and. I don't care what they were paid it was too much. ML was happy to agree to employ him and trusted him. That is good enough for me.

meow, IMO we need mobile and quick thinking forwards with an eye for goal.i don't think Wickham fits the bill, he is a player who had a big reputation that never was justified and. I believe little has changed. If you come back next season after he has scored 20 goals or near to that I will hold my hand up and say I was wrong.

yep, he did lose his nerve early in the 2nd half by bringing Eto on. very surprising indeed. I thought like Gary Neville said to keep it tight and then go for it in the last 15, not open the play up and let them hit Chelsea on the counter/dominate

Lol, i dont try and question your posts except to point out to others that you are a Pompey fan trying to unsettle the genuine fans. many are waking up to you and in time will not even notice. You certainly are a pro, but not as in serious professional. I assume as the people who you mention dont go to Twitter or Facebook for their knowlwdge they are only amateur. Now I do need your professional football knowledge please help,those Norwich players who were going to show us how our club (that is our club not yours) were going to rue the day we didnt sign them. As for mates not questioning them, i dont count people on the internet as mates per-say, but am always happy to debate with every poster on here as long as they are not intentionally out to troll. IMO you are the only one who is nye impossible to seriously debate with.

Granty is not at fault, I doubt he needs the aggro. We know who is the closet Skates or just out to annoy. i notice they are getting less and less replies

this is a lol thread, the trolls talking about trolling. The ego's will be flying high today 'look its about me, mum'

he's the new Ibrahimovic according to some on here. It is the common disease of the football fan, score a few goals in high profile end of season games and they are the new rising star.Forget the previous 40 games. i will wait until the end of next season and then people can come back and say we told you so

I spoke to someone today who knows a couple of players and the feeling I got was that AL and JRod are very likely to be here still but LS is the least likely still to be here. Not groundbreaking stuff but seems to fall in with the other stuff we are hearing

As much as i dont always concur with Monk on all things, he does come out with quite a lot of reliable info. Thanks for sharing Monk, even if it doesnt prove right

We don't know the age of the poster of course. It might be a starry eyed youngster

I would suspect that you will get that 0-0 was a negative result for Chelsea. Madrid only have to score and that will be enough on the night IMO

The players obviously love working hard and playing for MP, therefore the key is to get MP signed up.

What's going on us having an injury prone manager, NC must be at fault

yes I have. 1in 37 games or 4 in 5 games, you like quoting averages, tell us his goal per game ratio in that time. 1 goal in about 8 games isn't it?

at 21 Dowie was fast compared to RL now. Yep he's like messi he's he's no target man lol also it is not always about pace it is speed of mind and the ability to make a pass. If we signed him I'd be amazed but would want to be proved wrong in that case
