OldNick

He is pointing to the truth though, we have performed better recently and players like Morgan and Jay have become better. It is also noticeable that he says he rather than Nigel etc

As the thread title says. He has done little wrong and so lets get behind his decisions and accept he is brighter and a better judge than most of us on here. I dont like the ticket tax etc but if we want to see top players and top football we have to accept there is a price to pay for us all.

i would have got rid of him before, the way the morale would have been knocked after the ridiculous subs during the Man U game could have been terminal. When we needed the points to be so reckless taking off the top 3 on the day with 25minutes woulod have made the squad doubt him

sadly the ingredients were lacking. It is all opinion, but there is no way NP would have got us where we are now, and as much as i do not rate NA as a PL manager I rate him higher than Pearson. Decent man etc but he has not done the business with a large financial backer.

of which division? it would not be the PL

Just me showing off my history knowledge Scotty,Lol. keep them coming though

I have seen over the years some of our best players ruined by an England call up and the disappointment of not playing or dropped quickly. David Armstrong was one of the best midfielders around, he got to play a game for England and played out of position, never to be picked again. MLt ...well that is just a travesty. im happy for none to be picked

I don't expect SRL to be picked for England as if he does well that would leave Hodgson a problem. He is trying to get a young nucleus and is trying to sidestep older players. As for Savage, for him to know anything about quality on the ball is like DI Canio speaking about the merits of Socialism

Surely it. Would be Abyssinia

have you noticed that the UK economy has been in recession for the last 3 years? all coincides with Pompey not having the money put into the economy lol

Hey John dont take any notice, i recall you leaving decent posts in the past and debating fairly. Everybody without exceprtion has made a tit of themselves on here (not saying you did by the way) Hypo can hardly be seen to be the pilar of light in the 'not making a tit of yourself' stakes

there is a small pocket of fans on here who are against KD. If KD had let in JT header there would have been the comments of why didnt come and catch it. Fans are blinkered and are not always fairminded. It seemed to me that KD intentionally kicked the ball into touch instead of blindly kicking it upfield. I doubt many of our outfield players can kick the ball accurately with both feet, in fact watching saints over the years some couldnt with either foot!

surely the wording if the PST does not suceed.... leaves it all open.

forget not the disgusting way Fuller and Burley were treated, even Crouch was booed before he was given a fair chance. All clubs have periods when the fans need to look at themselves, anyway Saints won and beat the arrogant KIngs road boys

it seems to me that the new manager has a better understanding of how a player is suited.Morgan has become a better player IMO as he now is making fantastic attacking runs

I wonder how shamefaced a lot of posters would be after reading the thread about the 7m waste of money thread that was on here a few months ago. I do hope JRod did not read that garbage at the time.

i assume Ponch will look to get some more defenders to counter this problem. There again if we can keep getting the decent results we are getting now, the odd defeat will have to be stomached

yep, I agree and still think they have got away with it, until they no longer can play at FP. That would be the medicine that would satisfy my need for justice

we will still get the morons who say 'i hope he beats us, to teach NC a lesson' or 'lets sing his name all game' or 'i hope we go down instead of NA's Reading'

As much as i dislike Pompey and their cheating club, the majority of those fans are decent football lovers. By a accident of nature they were born in Portsmouth and support their local team. They made the long costly journey and by the reports sung all game, hats off to those few. The bloke on Sky initially said there were 4-500 but at the end of the game it had increased to 600, amazing procreation during the game but i assume as they have little development in lifes structure it takes about an hour and another is created from procreation to birth. In the morning the Port Vale manager was on and said that in league 1 the average away following was 800-1000 and in L2 under 100, about 40-80. it seems to me they will fit right in.

therefore it seems to me that I hope Oldham pick up a few points with their games in hand,if not they could stay up. Their form has improved. It would certainly instil more belief into the Trust and give them a boost.

it is amazing how uptight people are getting about Boris and his affairs. Of course now the trendy B list celebs etc now have neutered the Redtops the affairs will not come to light.

at what time on the final day is that then, is it a minute to midnight? They could well stay up yet, they seem to have improved their form but do need Oldham etc not to win their games in hand, or get a few points from those games.

Pompey will hang things out and the -10 will not apply this season whatever IMO. Therefore if they get enough points to stay up the -10 will not be applied until they come out of admin. Therefore I believe they are not dead and buried but within 5 points of safety. They will either way be on -10 next season

looking at the fixtures left, it seems that we need Norwich not to take their eyes off the ball and start coasting. They have to play the clubs near us
