his eyesight is failing, he couldnt see how Van der Vaart handled the ball sunday.' It hit the apex of his shoulder' Lol

I assume they hoped that the club shop would take some money. If it was only £2 a ticket ,it raised 8k before any expenses! to fly the team over and hotels would have eaten much of the money if not all. Crazy but that is Pompey for you.

The DNA evidence was rejected , his was on the girls bra strap and hers on the murder weapon. She is a great actress and her speech in court turned the decision in her favour. I believe there is more to her involvement than meets the eye. She can go on and live a comfortable life and the riches will pour in, the victims family are left with a sense of injustice and sadness at their loss. If the girl is innocent then fine, but I dont believe so. As for a poster making out how great our justice system is , could not have followed the joke of how the Pompey saga was dealt with.

Did the players and entertainment turn up? I went to Silverspoons atr Wembley organised by the owner of a Fansite, and no players turned up and it was a disaster. Thank heavens the club did not attach themselves to that do as it would have harmed their image, and at the same time not have any control over the actions of the organisers. I think the club is looking after its reputation, and if it cocks up it only has it self to blame not 3rd parties. I am quite impressed by the Saints foundation and can understand why NC does not wish for that to be watered down by other charities trying to use the club to enhance its profile. Im certain the ex -Saints is a fabulous charity but it is independant and so should follow that path.

we still need 3 quality players through the spine of the team. KD should never have been caught so far ut for the first, although the central defender should have sorted it before then. The 2nd!!!! Too much is expected of Connolly, he started well this season but age and fitness will catch up on him. There is no pace up front and so the defences are comfortable. LB is not the answer and neither is Forte. We havent used the loan window and our good start is papering over the cracks.I hope we can get on track quickly, Watford are a team with pace and youth , take them lightly at our peril.

And how many s/t 's did you sell that season? It is quite plausible IMO that many of the worlds football associations desperately did not wish for Pompeys dirty washing to be laundered (poor wording lol) in public. All those foreign players coming in large amounts of money moving around and 130m debt (even your own fans can't see where the money went). Who knows where corruption spreads to, afterall who believes FIFA at the top is clean?

Mick Channon got loads of stuff thrown at him when he returned for Man City.He was warming up and the fans started singing his name, he turned to give them a wave only to be bombarded with dogs abuse,lol

that is the whole thing, I suggest that most clubs fans (88 out of 92)would take what they have had. They have had lifetime memories and will talk about them to their grave. Many have had the good days and now don't bother going, but can brag away forever. Fans like Mack etc I assume will be there in the bad as well as good. If Pompey were liquidated tomorrow , you can't take their experiences away, that is why I am unhappy about it all, they not only spun the wheel and lost everything, they got their chips back. It is all wrong and they never got their real deserved punishment. If any of their former employees gets pulled for wrongdoing, it seems to me that they will be allowed to say that it is a different company and nothing to do with them. That is what the 2 Russians were alluding to IMO, they have been assured that any wrongdongs will not be levelled at the new company.

clubs would be alerted to the success of NA. His behavior when he joined us shows he would not leave easily and without thought for his employers. I suspect we are a fantastic job and if we go up why leave? I doubt any of the big 4 would be after him, anyway in time we could well be in the upper reaches of the Pl and so even less reason for him to leave.

hopefully this works

what about Keegans for us in the 80's?

thank f### there was no mention of Tiger Woods or golf in that, but Im sure you will manage to lever it into a post.lol

it takes all types. Phil is a decent and generous person. He kindly got me a signed picture of Lee W******d to give to a friend as a gift. His constant talk of his lifestyle is not just bragging but many people like to hear/read about it. He also had some very good contacts when we were close to admin/takeover. This forum is becoming pretty dull again, many posters have left and so lets not lose another.

you should be ashamed of such a factually incorrect post......there's no way a woman would wish Ho to go to bed with her , unless she wanted to be bored to sleep.

they had their chance of investment with Pompeys Russians. They turned the opportunity down and whilst history may show it was wise not to take their money, I doubt EM is a better owner. 5m invested at Bournemouth would have gone a lot further than the same at pompeys overpaid squad.I feel EM thought he was Mr Bournemouth, he enjoyed the good days of being cheered and really can't take it they have turned on him.

Gunter was one of Wales most effective players against England the other night and he was up against Fox, as well as derbyshire. both are mobile and of decent quality

Lenny Henry Harry Hall Amanda Holden Jedward Kerry Katona and all those so called celebs who get their living by being in the mags David Dickenson and all of the other so called antique experts on the TV reality programmes, who really know SFA, the list can go on and on

Many players who seem to be at the end of their careers have been been fantastic for us in the past. Mick Channon ,Worthington, Ball etc If JB came back determined to get fit and now should be less of a 'Iam' may be a decent player for us.

if you listened to the forum interview, thy haven't got 1.4m in the back but 400k the rest is due in the next year or so from transfers in.

at the same time why not tell us about, about the Chinese consortium, the stadium starting, the fact that you were not in massive debt,the 15k s/t sales, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

lets hope we get some new players in the Jan window. My head says 7-12 my heart top 4. Poyet has yet again played the transfer window well. Brighton WHU , Leicester are threats

Davis Crouch Marsden etc came here and fans were underwhelmed, many after reading the boards of the club they came from. He may be gash but lets give him a chance. i hope we have secured a price we can purchase him for if he does well.

but it is not. We are being run as a commercial operation and many of the decisions are Lowelike, business first. The Liebherrs dont need investment, money is not a problem for them.I am happier to have them own the club than the Askhams/Lowes of the world. We are a professional club and in time I hope will be the model other clubs look at. I feel fans are starting to feel sick of the way football is going and starting to vote with their feet in the PL, in time the clubs will have to run like businesses (excet for the clubs with billionaire owners who are happy to fund them)

FF if the club has earned 50k then i suggest you have not done badly. I assume it is from books about Saints and so the best place to sell them is at a Saints shop. A good bit of business both sides.

Nothing worse than kicking a man when he is down, oh you are after someone who would. Any club who will by a player like Barton has no morals , and so Im happy to have NC guide us through the cesspit of football its managers , agents and players. IMO NC is ruffling feathers because he is trying to deal properly and all the old school people don't like it as they are not getting such good deals for themselves.
