How did we do in those games?

Yep it was sad to see Theo drowning and not knowing how to survive. AL I think does have a football brain,but somehow thinks a flick or clever touch masks other missing parts to his game.

AL's position is very important as well, and a more traditional worker and player in that position would be better IMO. I love watching lovely football but you have to earn the right to play it that way

To be fair AP said this week something about racehorse that doesnt like mud, and so he knows the problem

Nope but I was hoping he would and we could perhaps stiffen the team in that important area

Thanks phil i need something to cheer me after today

No it is not down to us, but as you know the fans turning on the manager is a powerful force that changes the whole dynamics of our clubs fortunes.

+ 1 I have stated that AL is a luxury that a L1 club cannot afford, and he would be better served if he did leave for better pastures. We need a less flashy player. This is not a pop at AL but just that perhaps he would be better served in the CCC where he may get a little mote time to play his tricks.

Alps sadly your consistant stance over the time I have been reading this and S4ever has been to snipe away at the club. I accept (IMO)that it is down to frustration, but it does get peoples hackles upo and so no wonder some think you do it for attention or trolling. No manager wins every game

I fear that the years of changing the manager every few months has taught us SFA. I think it is time the fans grew some balls and accept that we are a provincial football club and greatness is never going to happen. Yes AP has had the privilage to manage and spend a bit on our squad, and results like today are disappointing but for heavens sake when do we stop wanting to change the manager every time a poor result comes around? I think this self destruct button should be held back until we see how the team shapes up after the first 15 games of next season.

As much as anything he should have the social services look at him. No parent in thier right mind would take your children to a game wearing your hated rivals kit and sit near the away fans. Can you imsgine what could happen if he was seen walking form the ground and seen by a few who are not above attacking anyone in a Pompey shirt.

Im glad you are so confident. I have read so many times that it is game over and since the day I was on here and saw 'Lol Pompey scored, own goal ' in the last minute at Cov i have had a bad feeling their cup luck had returned. If no wrong doing is very obvious , i think they will be baled out by the PL/FA in their desperation to keep their tarnised comps to be saved.

It will take a hell of a judge to kill them off now. The pressure will be intense from all sections of the media. I understand the law of the land and all that, but they live a charmed life.There seems to be one law for us and special laws for the PL. I expect a fudge after fudge and time given until they get out of it. We now have the PL and FA needing them to survive, it will be in their interests now to pay the HRMC off to keep both the 'competitions integrity' Lol. The media are happy for them to carry on and i suspect most people outside So postcodes dont care. They are playing on an unfair playing field but Brum did not object and the FA have turned a blind eye. they are going to come out of it, as I cant see any toast at present.

Minty,I can';t believe it, FFS you have thrown the home team into complete disarray. I do hope that the fear of my hairdryer at half time has put you off, Sebastian (my hairdrier) was looking forward to getting his hands on you. I dont know if we have been weakened or strengthened with your withdrawal, although after the way Granty has been plying the team selection Im fully expecting Steven Hawking to be playing at right back.

did anyone see the Burnley chairman on sky sports when talking about Pompey and said 'the football family and should be helped' Where was the football family for Leeds saints B'moiuth Chester etc..oh of course the PL football family

I heard a small snippet from South Today and Im sure they said the PL were going to help Pompey. Pompey are going ot get away with it.

I dont know what others in the administrator world think but are they surprised that the loan players have not been dispatched yet to help reduce the bills. He seems to be carrying on like they were before

Sadly I took it that you emant it and would have those beliefs, my mistake. We are in L1 and I agree a player with all attributes would not be playing at that level.We are fortunate to have many who now I beleive are getting to a level that is above where they are playing now. is it down to them or the manager I can't say. All I know is that Iam enjoying going to watch the team again and frankly couldnt care if it is L1 or PL the entertainment and value for money is there.

Interesting to look at the squad compared to now.

was that the Lazio one

Good game , top marks for all

I agree that Waigo is not better than the front 2 on show last night, but he is one of those players who keep you on the edge of your seat. One minute despair the next celebrating a goal from nothing. He works for the team and was the first to go over to the lad who missed his chance and give him some encouragement. A top person and a great player to scare the oppostion in the last 20 minutes. I would sign him

well I think it was during MM's period as well as I was under the impression that a large accountancy firm were offered the job under him and they refused as they said their systems were so poor that money was disappearing and not sure where. Now that is not neccessarily due to dirty deeds of course but the structure of the club was still Div 4.

Please do not compare AL with MLT, it is unfair on AL to be burdened with that and also unfair to compare his with MLT's mercurial skills. At 22 MLT was head and shoulders above where AL is now (no shame in that) As for criticising KD for goals, with our lacklustre defence over the past few seasons it is only KD's briliance that has kept the scores down. Even last night he made a save that kept the game from changing its course.

i wish you were the same when you do your line calls...lol
