I would be with you on the case of the majority of PFC fans would not be happy about the charities not being paid. I do question how that they do not see how they did anything wrong in the glory years. They dont give a hoot and they have memories from wembley trips and cup final wins that have been deprived to all the fans of clubs who played it fair. That is what irks as well as them playing the hard done by card.

To think that it is a Saints fan (apparently anyway)who is introducing these to them. No introduction fee is worth it. I

I wonder when we play them again if we remember Poyets comments. We are no better than them when it comes to grudges, ask Derby about that. I will give Poyet stick when he comes , so Im as bad as they are

We are a big side, but we dont batter teams like the long ball sides do as RL is not that sort of forward.Poyet is amazingly petty and will not be able to cope with thew mind games of managers like Fergie etc if he evers manages a club in the higher leagues.

thats why we should have strengthened in the window. Make sure of going up not taking the chance we would

that is sad, a brilliant comic writer. I didnt know he was unwell

Danish brilliant that is one hell of a list, Im sure there are other gems to add. I recall a long time ago he was telling us that the diggers were in starting

Once synchronised, it will become a sea of blue and white with ‘1898’ written across it. Is this part of the days celebrations 'guess the crowd next season competition?'

Sue considering it was NickH who had the Trademark on 'Pompey will get away with it' not NickG the imposter lol NickH changed his username as he was tired of being confused with the imposter NickG

Lol, and with gold at a record high no doubt Brown would sell it all at once, tell the markets he was doing so and the price would drop by half. The man just has no sense. BTW it was not rocket science to see what was going to happen (not the collapse of Lehman) but the general disaster that was building. Even posters on here were warning of the nonsense.

Lol

only what i was told when we were supposedly in for him.. I'm not in the clubs negotiating team and so can only go on that info.

well when we were balking at the price over 1m , i suggest Norwich would have jumped at it then. It was at the end of the window when Norwich apparently tried to pay a lot more. Therefore it would be fair to assume we were in gfor him before they were. This is not the CMS thread by the way, and he is not the only player we may have got to strengthen.

No but we were a good month ahead of them in our interest. During that time he became more prominent. Clubs watch loads of players doesnt mean they will go and try and buy.

Maybe but it is something that could be aimed for if the 5 year plan was to be achieved.

As i say when i heard we were after him the figure we were baulking at was in the region of 1.2m. That was quite a time before Norwich. Of course Norwich may have been on the case and biding their time and may have gazumped us ,

No not for that much. When we were in for him the hype was low key and i was told he was in the £1.2m area, Antonio for £1m would have been another who cut it already in this league , his power and strength gave us an option that we could do with now.

where have i said those players are free? I think i recall that the club were building a squad that would not only get us up this league but will then go on to get us up again from there. Im not sure those are in that category. Signing a bit of quality to not only assure us promotion but to kick on from there seems to be an odd opinion on this forum.

Anyone got a magnifying glass i can borrow?

Obviously, but thanks for your well balanced reply it must have taken you ages to spell all that out

I agree but Prutton has been her before and did SFA apart from assault the lino in an important match, and Parkin is just just a lump. There are some decent players amongst the rest though

and sadly I know you are not kidding you would

Jon Parkin?????? Lol David Prutton!!!!! i know we all have differing opinions but ....

i dont know their squad but I doubt Fergie would accept taking a third choice forward and a kid for the future as back up to the all important promotion that we NEED this season. If we fail to go up how many of our 'star' players do you think we will still have next season? it is paramount to gto up and so no insurance is too much now.

i thought it was Alf Ramsay you had nurtured
