yep, not taking away too much from what he did, but he did get plenty of financial support and should have won at least 1 title for us. He still did well and respect that.

I thought he retired about 5 seasons ago. His last game is against us,I really do not want us to need to win and him determined to sign off with some goals

Iam told he had a choice of sitting next to a forum member of his choice or on his own, like myself I would choose his option....

Blair should be prosecuted for murder IMo

He did a job and is well liked. not my cup of tea but I am grateful for him getting us promotions. He still was in charge when he let Reading overtake us, we should have won the title, period. This season he made some really bizarre decisions, marginalizing our top striker. Yes i accept he did well but he is not the god some make him out to be.

if they are taking Adkins on I suspect that will be to get them ready for next season. I wonder if NA can actually win something and not come 2nd. he had the tools and backing to win L1 and the CCC but failed at the last hurdle each time.

Glasgow. For somebody spouting about being positive I point you to the thread title

Please no

it is for prestige only IMO. Perhaps to protect the Falklands but we will never be a force in the Indian ocean again. The Indians and Chinese will build the ships that will dwarf our navy. I assume we have the smaller ships to support and defend this moving target?

Your mates may well be more aware due to your support of us and so they are more likely to know. NC is no doubt more high profile now, but we are not on most clubs radar.....yet

i dont know if NA was treated with decency and respect as i was not there when he was removed from the job. I would have more time for fans complaints if they were consistant on this. NA has come away from his appointment with a fantastic reputation and the chance for getting another plum job.If NC had not given him the chance he may have failed elsewhere where the expenditure may have been less. Pay him what he is due but not more.

Taxi drivers in London have no idea about much at all, in fact im surprised they know of NC. i suspect the majority of football fans don't know of him.

it is amazing that a manager can leave a job get 100,000's of pay-off and then jump into another lucrative job. it is double whammy. Forget not, monies out to NA means less money to spend on new players. As for the soul of the club we have sacked a lot of managers under the pressure of fans and never a whisper of doing the right thing then.

Iam waiting for Mr Allen to tweet Barca 4 Pompey 0

I may be wearing rose coloured specs but i dont think id swop our fixtures to any of the others apart from QPr and then Im not sure they will be that easy either. We should scrape through, a couple of wins and 2 draws should be enough. QPR have won 2 in a row and so everyone is bigging them up,but how many more wonder goals do they have in the side?

MP is dealing with Adkins squad, I assume that he will in time build his own.At present Iam watching Coutinho who MP found and looks pretty useful. Hopefully he will keep us up and build an exciting team. As for the inane 'you have to win games' that is not rocket science, but taking off your best 3 players on the day when beating Man U with 25 minutes left is not clever.

Looks lovely stuff, I notice your delivery charges over 10miles at 30p per mile. This of course will limit your customer base dramatically. I assume you will have to target small delis etc to stock them around the areas, as I doubt people will pay 15 quid delivery.

I don't think we would have beaten Man city, we may not have come from a goal down at Wigan. I don't rate NA as a prem manager and his mad subs against Man U and Fulham cost us. There is no evidence either way only personal thoughts.

i find it interesting that you say Yoshidas is not a right back, well he did prevent 2certain goals. In my world a defender who stops goals should play

It is great that so many had faith in NA, I for one feel that we would be about the same or worse off now under NA.

I assume the dummy (that is the rubber one) garroted to the scaffolding is for a bit of hanky panky in the break. Iam sure most Pompey fans cringe when they see such things, I really would hate having such fans at the forefront of our club, they can keep the bestest tag if this is what it means.

Aztec bar and Milky Lunch

I will try to keep to poetry and limmericks Minsk....but he started it....oh no he didnt

I respect your position but do not agree that there was eventually going to be a buyer whatever.

No club you mention have been liquidated and so you Mr brightspark have got that wrong. If the club had been liquidated it would have been thrown out of the league, try and run a 35k stadium from that. The city could not have rented that out to Coventry etc. As for Pompey getting away with it, i suppose it depends on what you think a fair penalty is for cheating, not paying charities, watching your team at Wembley 6 times (?) having a team of international players, winning the FA cup, playing in Europe, fielding top players when in administration, then depriving businesses of their money,and also beating your fiercest rivals. In doing so they also deprived kids from clubs who had not cheated of having their day in the sun and having those lifetime memories. They have had about 18months of real hurt but had 5 years of fun. Until they lose FP or go into the Conference i dont believe they have had the correct punishment. Going down to L2 may be enough for some, but not for me.
