thats it rest on our laurels. Whilst we have done ok we have hardly been awesome. LB may well be otherwise employed during the run in, we may pick up injuries and suspensions, add to that complacency (by fans it seems) due to lack of competition and so fresh faces would give a us a kick on

quality doesn't take long to gel.Whilst i agree some players do take time to settle in others click straight away. it also makes players realise they have to fight for their place and so may step up a gear. To me we need some more players

to delve into the loan market to show our intent, freshen the team up and make us stronger for the run in. If we really do want to go up we should invest a little to push us on. i want us to have a massive advantage over the rest who are jockeying for position

forget top. if we get to 2nd we have done well. IMO we should now dip into the loan market to make us freshen up but also that much stronger for the run in.

Perhaps the people in their community should stand up and give him a kicking, they would go up in the majorities opinion if they did.No they sit back say nothing and in doing so leave him to create more division and resentment.

perhaps they had a bet on Taylor scoring a shedload, lol

to you it may be apples and pears but to me the symbol of the Poppy is more important than the bible, and i would not worry if the bible was burnt. It is a way of honouring the young who died. i doubt many wanted to sacrifice the rest of their lives to enable these people to dis-honour them. It is right that he did it for publicity, and no doubt thrives on that, the stupid thing is he is allowed to do so whilst others could not retaliate.

people should remember that the Poppy is symbolic of the sacrifice made by millions of people (who were younger than the majority on here) so that he could do much as he likes likes. To me his action was similar to that of me burning the Koran to him. It is amusing that these people talk about how bad it is here but dont wish to go to their homeplace

surely you are Royalty and so dont get parking tickets

I felt bad mentioning the meal I had had yesterday and i thought i would join you and so had my roast dinner, followed by trifle liquidized ... that is what you do on hunger strike i assume, as Im sure you are allowed liquids

well it was supposed to be a joke and whilst i got the wording I didnt see the joke

Deppo how are you? I have been awake for 20minutes worrying about you while I had my breakfast. In a gesture of solidarity I decided after eating the beautiful piece of bacon, 2 saugages, an egg, fried bread and beans I refrained from eating any more.....i did slip in a couple of slices of toast with home made strawberry jam and lashings of breakfast tea whilst deciding to do so.Anyway i was with you and like General Haig, i was behind you to will you over the top in our crusade....what was it for again?

i think you are confusing me with Dubai Phil, but for your info she gave me a load of mouth , if that is any help.

please try and avoid my world where I see the few getting away with it. I swear that a Pompey fan opened a bottle and a genie popped out and granted 3 wishes. It would be like a puppy playing with a ball of wool how our hopes are raised only for them to be dashed again. can you imagine the media and the 'Fairytale of Pompey' comong back from the dead and making the PL again? i notice the media rarely say Portsmouth but Pompey, sick bags all round

Canada saint obviously is an ex saints player who played with Mick Channon.

have you thought that perhaps the fans overrate the players? I have seen too many unknown players come and dominate our midfield. LB is too slow to pull away from a defence, and our defence (except Fonte) is not that great, afterall we don't do that many clean sheets. As i have said on other threads, we should have cashed in on Ox and bought back Antonio and paid a fair price for CMS. The folly of us asking upwards of %m for a 16 year old but then baulking at over a £1m for a forward who has scored 24 goals this season. if a club came to us and offered sub £im for RL what would we say?

i did that course because all the rest in the class were girls, not stupid eh, my fingers got quite a work out

Mack calm down or your gills will explode in excitement. The bestest team in L1 won 1 nil last night whilst the 5th best team lost 1-0. The highest paid team in the Championship won again, no talk of only 3 subs and how tough it is for you by your manager for a few matches now. of course that only is brought up when he is trying to deflect the attention from him.

but ic think it is not because we have lost, but that we have been playing so poorly for weeks now. I suffered our display at Exeter that we won and a few since and we have been fortunate to get results. It is concerning that we just dont look head and shoulders above any of the teams we play. I had hoped we would do a Norwich and be the real thing not the bunch of underachievers we are at present

have you started getting dizzy turns? i was going to say lightheaded but then i realised who i was posting to!

Im not a fan of NA but this is ridiculous to even contemplate

that was to appease the fans who want to keep the player, but IMO is not for the best to get us up this division. PS Pardew said Carrol would not be sold, he's at Liverpool now

the folly of not selling Oxlade and using the money to buy Antonio and CMS becomes more blatant by the day. Oxlade will not be here in the long term and if as some say we would get above 5m for him ,then balking paying just over a £1m for a forward who has already scored 24 goals in this league this season is laughable. Holding onto Ox was a vanity not proper sense in getting us up the leagues. Please do not tell me that the club have plenty of money, as the window showed to me we are working to a budget. Last season we bought Fonte and Barnard for real money, this season????? Forget not also come May LB may not even be availible so who then to play alongside RL...

thanks Dune for wasting 39secs of my life
