WSS that is fair. I notice that some of the vitriol is coming from some who had privileged positions under previous regimes. I do have my own reasons to be anti NC at present,but Im trying to be even handed and see things from the bigger picture and having a long-term view..

In what play did Shakespeare use that phrase?

It is disappointing reading posts like this. The feelgood factor is fading away and we will be back to the infighting we had over the last 5 years.

my wife is unbelievably happy as she married me. I can't see how single women are happy, as they always seem to be desperate to get married to make them so. Ps im am very happy and lucky as well

i back the club in the main but i do not see why the club are going to charge fans who are going to games a £10 fee.They know these people are in the main diehards and don't deserve to be screwed but applauded. On the other hand are there costs incurred by the club in providing these parking spaces? Insurance and stewarding perhaps

im at this time not going and not at all enthralled. I expect us to lose and will not shed any sleep over it. i will get some stick from some bournemouth fans, and even had a call today with them giving it large. The league games against them are far more important, our cup runs cost us last season

the lack of new faces are frighteningly obvious to me that AP has little future here. It is not what i want but my investment is not at stake.

I mentioned in the summer that i feared that the over expectation of the fans could re-rail us in our promotion push. I had not factored in a portion of fans who were going to try and destabilise the club as they didn't like the way it was run/ or had been shunned in some way.

I like Oneill but isn't it always a case that he looks good as a manager elsewhere but when they are our own we find faults?

I have sent my payment, Im waiting for Granty to re start my membership.It should be anytime soon as i sent it first class.

I suggest that the media will try and quash this as they know if we are successful the really big clubs may do the same and that would cost the media a lot of money. Players get image rights, why not their owners? Iam not in favour of this move but i can see why NC may feel the need to test the water.

It just shows how easy it is to get around rules if you have no shame. I watched the first 20 mins of their game last night and got tired of hearing how their squad had been cut, (ian Darke is a Pompey fan) and the Exodus, not a word how the nation and charities had been robbed

46m wage bill, he has done well to get that down to 14.

There you go, this will now backfire on any other club who asks for this. NC will now be able to say 'No sorry we can't let you have your own as we were let down by Plymouth, it's their fault'

i suspect Milner has been allowed to leave against his wishes

A very good post. I do think the press are being quite hypocritical as they sell on the pictures to their readers. My concern is more that the camera man will miss vital incidents. Is it also a way of stopping the press getting pictures of fans showing their disapproval of any officer/member of the club at anytime in the future?

I like Hammond but am a tad concerned that he has gone backwards not improved. He is a winner ans puts a bit of bite into the midfield

NC has now banned any pencils , watercolours and crayons entering the ground.

I didn't mean to give the impression that JP had a bad game, as I thought he was oK but his speed does seem to have dropped. Had we had a forward who had aerial ability im sure we would be all upbeat as the crosses were dangerous and waiting to be be claimed, our two small forwards had no chance.DH should have done better with his free header, as in most of these games we need to score first so the opposition have to come out of their shell.

2 of those didn't start saturday and we have no back up to Lambert if he is not fit. Puncheon could not out run his defender and so our attacks were nullified. I am not a fan who thinks we are the best team in this league, i am alarmed at the lack of pace and would like the club to strengthen in a few areas. It was alarming that Barnard and Connelly did not get a sniff and showed our over reliance on RL.

How can we play Morgan in an attacking midfield role when he he doesn't know how to put the ball in the net? Plymouth did the job all team,s will do at SMS. Shut up shop and let us play our pretty football 35yds from goal, they will fill the box and stop us getting the ball to our forwards, then nick a goal from a couple of attacks. You can talk about morgan and his position to the cows come home but unless you have pace up front that hurts/scares the opposition we will have lots more of these debates.Since we dropped from the PL we have not played the way most teams get out of these leagues, a big brute of a centre forward with players around him to take advantage.

I went to a do on saturday night where there were a couple of friends who are with HMRC (1 high up in corporate collection) I have not spoken to them in all the time of the court case and dealings with Pompey as it would put them in a difficult position.As the case was over I asked them and they said they were devastated.They had not been on this case. They say they are calling Pompey, HMRC FC and taxpayers fc .The FA cup needs to be re engraved

my 3pence worth. We got some really good crosses in but did not have any aerial power to take advantage. A back up for Lamberts air power should be a priority. Their number 3 was too strong for us. A team with no pace will always struggle. We still have not come to terms that to win this type of league you need a great big bully/lump at centre forward for others to feed off. Jaidi is finished Morgan IMO is not as good as some believe Plymouth were poor and scored with their only real attempt, and that was due to comic defending. We will get better, but we had nothing on the bench (apart from AL) to change things unlike last season with Antonio, Papa. Lallana looked good and bright when he came on It is on ly the first game and so be patient, but AP is already under pressure and the fact he has not/allowed spent money is telling as NC's position on him.

The moment Pompey kick off this season they will be safe as the FL will be left with the same problem that the PL had, as in a team unable to fulfill their fixtures. They will again get help that scu's the league

they have been waiting for this game for a long time. I saw a friend who is a Bournemouth fan yesterday and he said 'see you at SMS tuesday' I really didn't know it was as soon as next week. He understood as he felt that the game was a big thing for them but not for us.
