  1. not my point, watching saints for 40 + years it has always seemed the case that any team on a terrible run, not scored, change manager and it is us who open the floodgates. Just a perception Im sure and \I hope to be proved wrong saturday.
  2. 'Messrs UHY Hacker Young, and will continue to trade outside of Administration.' Just read that and is that a normal practice for administrators. Or is it a case that in doing so they are no longer liable for debts incurred as they would be if they were still in Admin?
  3. not against mot clubs perhaps, but time and again against us it seems to be the recipe for a good start
  4. no he didn't but does that make you the best player if you win a free kick????
  5. Notts co sack manager on SSN so here we go again. New manager against us and a win
  6. The love in with Morgan surprises much the same as the slating of Puncheon on yesterdays performance. Morgan is a tidy midfielder playing in L1. He rarely makes a defence splitting pass and gets booked quite often. Yes he does add aggression but I can't see why he is so lauded about. Lambert is not right at present but I dont think dropping him is the right thing to do.He will come good and the club relying on his goals was always a folly. Why not pick on LB if you want to talk about lack of goals. Yes LB runs for us but again he cannot outrun a defence and does not have a good repore with RL. When AL and RL are close together they both perk up and have an instant pairing.Yesterday AL was put wide and could not get into the game, that made us ineffective. Adkins subs proved me wrong but I was amazed when he took Punch and Lambert off, and when he put on PW wel!!!!!This is from a manager who talks passing the ball Lol.Guly should have stayed on as he was running the show and Oldham were on the back foot,as soon as he went off they could come forward. Chamberlain looked great but I hope that he is not rushed too soon.Although his pace is just what wew need. Kelvin saved us 2 points by the way, for all those who knock him.
  7. Puncheon was the only attacking threat we had in the first half, and probably our best player
  8. it was like watching the Graet train robbery unfolding in front of your eyes and the authorities not answering the 999 call. So sadly 'pompey will get away with ' has morphed to 'pompey got away with it' I now await the smug crew return. As I said to Phil yesterday it is vomit time form now on. As they go and push on for promotion with a damned good squad. the only thing may be that Stoke may get a decent bid for Lawrence and they dont go through with his transfer. The FL showed no balls and again I said that the ex Leicester chairman who would be mates with MM at the top instead of Malwinney played into their hands as well.
  9. i understand they have costs to run the business, but what are the rewards if it comes off? Iam as bewildered as anyone to why/how they have got through but it seems they have/will. It seems that Gaydamek is backing off and doesn't want to hold it up.One thing in this is that i know if SSN put anything on thier ticker they are guessing like the rest of us. They know about as much as we do it seems.
  10. I dont see where you say Chanrai does not have the money. The last time they went up MM threw about 5m at it, i dare say at present the same in jan would do the same. They have won 4 in 5 and look far too strong for the majority of weak sides in that league. To me it seems a punt worth taking. The PL money is so vast now that being a memeber of the club makes even that club with no assets a propostion for an investor. So in a way i agree that it is a flip deal but a very worthwhile gamble. Of course if they lose today and the next game it will not look so good. That is why I felt they were going to try and limp on until december and then take a view.
  11. Phil i disagree ,i believe we are about to face the real vomit time. MM will come back they will strengthen and go on a promotion push and get the PL riches. It is so like the last time they went up, all the other clubs in disarray and them with a good squad and money to push their way up. When back in the PL they will then have big paydays to fund development. You have to hold your hand up and say that AA is very good at what he does and that doing anything honest in football is a fools game. Pompey know that both the PL or FL worry more about having the fixtures played than integrity, and uses that to their advantage. it is shamful, but I suppose if it was not Pompey we would not be so interested. We are a small pool of fans who do give a f###, the rest of football look at them as victims. it is laughable how thick and shallow the average football fan is.
  12. visit the Biltmore hotel for sunday brunch. Fantastic. Apparently Al Capone rented the whole top floor to live in. Some fantastic malls to shop and only an hour from the Florida keys. As for working there....not sure, it gets uncomfortable hot in the summer months
  13. considering they are more likely to own a pony for pulling the caravans, it is surprising that the accusation is pointed to us
  14. always a rise to apply pressure on the FL. MM will rejoin and the 3 amigos will be hand in hand.
  15. 'particularly where the payment is being demanded by one of the authors of the club’s current circumstances.' interesting how they are putting blame of the debt to his door. That statement was written in auch a cynical way Lol. The FL have obviously accepted the deal and the 4 point have been waived or approved.
  16. a few things. AA trying to turn the screw on Gaydamek to take poor terms. To put fear into the FL, really if there was a real threat they would postpone tomorrows game, and so they give up on the 4 items.. Funny timimg how Leicester have just had their new owners accepted by the FL and so that leaves MM to ride in again as the saviour. Sky making out how heroic they were winning their battle in the high court. We have days of people crying about job losses but the media skirt over the 30m lost to the exchequor. PES you still have your club and still will have this time next week /next year. Watching those fans on Sky is a good cross section of what you should be proud of.
  17. Gemmels point was that you didn't take up the option for a second batch of 1000 tickets, hence that is why there was room for the 170 others who turned up on the night.
  18. I don't see pensioners as rich, but there again Im a bit closer to being one than you Mike. Don't fall for the rich getting away with it. The super rich maybe as they can flit from country to country but generally everyone is worse off.
  19. the rest of the world,I assume you are not counting Ireland Spain Greece, are not in the state we are in. If it is so easy to spend on hospitals schools and health why dont the rest of the world? We have debts that are unsustainable and you spout about putting paying it off slower, well the interest on the interest gets bigger the longer you let it fester. There is no soft way out of this, and the prudent, who have saved in the good days are now paying for the irresponsible people who spent spent spent. It is not all down to the banks,we were outspending our earnings years before the banks went pearshaped. The nation went on a spending spree and the chickens have come home to roost.
  20. but if the jobs are not needed but just manufactured (only thing that this country can manufacture now) the wages will be far more than benifits. A % will get a job and so i doubt all will go on the dole. I would like no-one to lose their job but we are in this state and so we have to plug some holes.
  21. i dont think that is the case The parachutes are being used up to pay the football creditors/ Chanrai etc. You need to go up this season me thinks
  22. they are all a bag of snakes. If Pompey went back up they would have the PL riches to stave off the creditors. The FL clubs caving into PL pressure late last season to allow the extra parachute monies saved pompeys bacon. if it had been to the old money they would be gone
  23. I dont think the Liverpool fans woulod want him after playing for their 2 biggest rivals. They haven't the money. its man c for me, and after watching SAF on sky yesterday the wounds are opening and it will get nasty. Rooney will know going to Man c will tear SAF apart.
  24. yep and the media telling the world about a 'fairytale story'for the poor Pompey fans Lol
