You did look like a loser, you'll fit right in

Dubai Phil, Dubai Phil, are you listening, Saddam Hussain, King Faisel,Lawrence of Arabia, Sheik Yerhand, your boys took hell of a beating

the highlight of last night for me was saintDonkey at the end going down and kissing the pitch. That said it all for all who played, it wasn't being the best but just playing at Mecca. Well done Donkey

there was a lot of segregation due to the friction between the home and away fans

Good to put a face to the name....or perhaps not. i said to Scudamore , 'Which one is saint stevo' his reply 'He's the one in the hoodie' lol Sorry you couldnt get off yer a### to come and say hello.......oh you did but couldnt get up for your knee.

Hey you were sick of hearing me celebrate as each goal went it.

Things have been a tad quiet, im wondering what tricks Phil and his team have been up to, Im waiting for a player to be parachuted in at the last minute. Just you watch, it will happen I can feel it in my water. The weather is warming up a bit, so i dont think Im going to wear my Avram Grant long coat (although i'll have his long grim face) I wonder if the Mancini scarf around the neck will look good though, it is tough trying to make a fashion statement, that's the stress of management.

It seems to me that AA and co, have pulled a fantastic deal and expect the CVA to be accepted. They know if the HMRC who are on the board of creditors are part of this they are most likely to accept. My feeling is that the CCC is the weakest it has been for years and promotion is not as hard as in the past. Like their last promotion season the other clubs were reeling from the ITV debacle but they had the financial muscle to go up. This time they have Chanrai, who is at present going to be quids in, with a 5m gamble he can install a manager like Cotterill and get some good players on a 10k a week wage cap. Then if they get back up he is going to ring the bell and have a PL side costing 5-10m. The only thing i can see stopping that is points reductions. Now if the HMRC have agreed to the liquidation in 9 months so they can go after PS etc then I can only assume that they will not put a spoke into the wheel. When i first said that the HMRC pulled back when Brown came out and said 'this shoulkd not happen to a great historic club blah blah blah' it was scoffed at. I am probably talking bollix (VFTT tm) but I do wonder that there has been a lot of influential people in many important places where this cannot ever come out. Conspiracy theory perhaps but only time will tell. I cannot see justice coming into play at present, and as I ve stated before if relegation has been the only penalty the club has received then they have got away with it. The last hope of them being holed below thw waterline in this is if the FL/FA do take steps and give them points deductions. It is not that i dont respect the very good and knowledgeable posters on here on the other side of the arguement, but it has gone on too long and everything seems to be turning their direction. Many thought they would not make the end of the season, now we dont get the winding up theory , but they will struggle in the lower half of the CCC, that will change to they won't make the play-offs etcetc.

Sorry you are not there again, even though you played for the 'cheesy one' I mean the 'Chosen one'

Lol , looks like I will need to get a double sized cage for you and Spades Im not sure the away side know what they are up against, although nor do I !!!!

To all players if you read Steves email, you must have shinpads. For the better built you may need to bring some shorts or socks just in case. We dont want you going out looking like you have lycra shorts on lol

that was a scuff not a shot

That can't be from last years game as he hasn't a physio by him.

Perhaps there are too many influential people in football in many countries who really don't wish for a lot of the actions at Pompey ever to see the light of day.

the language of Shakespeare, but a lol

that's a no then lol

Lol, yes the manager change may have been enforced. I will be happy to walk away with a victory to make up for last years injustice. Of course when we win, I may think again

i know Scudamore is the type of person nobody notices, but he was/is an opponent. I think disdain is the best way of treating him. Anyway Capt. I have some cunning plans formulating in my head. The first is my resignation, after the game.....although resignation before the game may be the cleverest and most popular option. I know that you all will be begging me to stay on, but the time has come to gracefully hand over the reins to a younger man. I know the9 has his sights on grandeur and will no doubt be willing to fill the position next season.That is if he doesnt get locked in Itchen college again. My revolutionary managing techniques will be lost, but i hope that some may have rubbed off to you all to take on with you in you lesser managerial posts. The 2nd was to bribe the ref, but DP has the option on that! 3rd is to get my side to score more than the opposition, a modern and quite a daring concept. i will put it to the team and see if they can get their heads around it.

Whose side are you on??? We are supposed to be playing mind games here, and wanting their defenders to have a sleepless night. Now they will be tucked up in bed tonight with no fear of a battering. Repeat after me, our strikers are big bruisers , a cross between Dowie and Joe Jordan

DP is Mr Motivator now is he? lol. We are the underdogs,but our team spirit , resolve and personality (I suspect most of your team will have to look up what a personality is, except the 2 who granty knicked away from last season)will be a fair match for your lot. No doubt Granty and DP are parachuting a ringer in to strengthen your side, but we will just get on with things and fight on.

Oh thank the lord for that, i had just come to terms that my big bruising centre forward was called Julian! I can now settle and have a nice long nights sleep in the knowledge that my team will be tucked in bed after a good run up to the game, after their days of cross country runs and fitness and healthy diets

he wears a hairband!!!!!!!!, oh lordy. I think i will get all the mirrors taken down in the changing rooms, i can't deliver a team talk while he is brushing through his long tresses.

who's the lucky lad then?

you were mentioned, we fully expect you to look like David Dickensons tan. Orange boots to match no doubt

UPDATE of MEET UP with Dubai in Salisbury It was like a meeting of the Jets and Sharks, without the singing and dancing. Dubai Phil, or DP he is known as in the adult trade, now wishes to be known as 'the chosen one' not the 'special one', he has had more name changes than Prince FFs Anyway he PM'd me for 'a meet' and offered me a evening with a coq au vin. I was expecting a lovely chicken basted in wine, but after he had plied me with lashings of wine he said 'It was time for the main course' The evening finished at that moment. The away team had better shower when you get home. DP was bragging how the ref is another member of his family and was pretty confident that they had the game sewn up. As a peace offering he did bring me a lovely bottle of red wine from Dubai (Lebanese, apparently it is top stuff. i'm torn whether to drink it or put it on E-bay)
