The bit I heard made me realise we have a very smart man guiding our club. He like me is keen on the idea of having our own end and the away fans moved. He knows that some will stick their heels in and may not return to watch the club.If we have the crowds back im sure he will be happy to factor in the loss of perhaps a 1000 fans.To be fair if they are more interested in making jestures to the away fans, then perhaps it will be no loss.

Fortunately I have not had to give your rabble a motivational speech, and I must say I can't compete with Phil's, as 35 minutes of him reminicing about a Bullfrog and his exploits on a golf course when he was holding an umbrella for a golfers ex wife is very hard to beat. I will have to concentrate on stupid things like telling me players what an honour it is to be their manager.

If you score I think we all will celebrate as Haleys Comet is more likely to appear above us on the night. As I mentioned to the Flying Finn you dont celebrate own goals. I do appreciate the sentiments though, i do hope you enjoy the away team dressing room, it is still the pits wheras my team have the luxury of the newly updated home dressing room.

I have e-mailed the CEO of Johnstone paints. I pointed out that having empty seats on an occasion that will be watched nationwide would not do their branding that good if there are lots of empty seats....also of course their brand would be more popular in the south of England

Is it me (yet again!!!) but since Gordon Brown mentioned Pompys plight, that the HRMC seem to have softened their stance...World cup bids coming up, politically sensitive. Another real longshot but Pompey seem to be given so much slack. I doubt any other business would have had this.
-
Consensus politics! Surely that is just a group of people fudging the issues. No strong action is likely to be taken in that case. Let Labour win the election, they have made the bed so let them lay in it. To win the election is a poisoned chalice. Whoever wins will become very unpopular very quickly.

I have e-mailed the CEO of Johnstone paints and pointed out that their branding will benifit if they hae few empty seats on the day. I mentioned we sold our allocation and it never got to general sale, and that i felt confident that 5000/10000 more may well be sold.

I watched AA giving his interview at the press conference and was very composed.At the end he was asked about people interested he said 2 had shown proof of funds and at that stage his eyes went side to side like the baddie puppet did on Thunderbirds. Not sure i trust that statement

Hi Mack after me slapping you down yesterday, I feel more mellow today. I have seen your games to come and as has been rightly pointed out, the expectations of you getting a lot of points is unlikely. If Spurs are your opponents in the semi, you will lose O'hara, a massive loss as he was the only player you had who had the balls to stand up on the day against us. Going to Wembley for a semi-final and losing will not be nice. i have experienced it twice in the FA cup and at least once in the League cup. It is not like losing in the final i promise you. If you only get relegated you have got off scot free IMO (that is the club not you) I think without a doubt most saints and Pompey fans will be delighted if PS Redknapp and co get theiir just desserts.(although it still bemuses me that some of your fans still think PS did a good job)
-
I think they were very lucky against us and had we scored first htey would have folded. Perhaps after watch them escape so many times it has made me less sure. I still resent their cup win, as they were patently fielding a tream they couldnt afford.
-
Sounds much better.

Not to be pedantic they beat Sunderland as well. I hope you are correct, I will be happy to come on here and apologise that I was wrong if they do get thrown out of the league or really do face justice.
-
from you that is a compliment. I wouldnt want to be in your world, i read your stuff after games where everything is downbeat and your constant sniping at the club.I notice you will be going to Wembley though Lol
-
There is a difference of getting relegated and playing in the BSL that has been very much been predicted on here. Getting relegated 1 division, stil to fight another day is to my mind 'them getting away with it' They are still going to wembley with a team that they rightly should not be able to field, they still may win that and get to the final. At the same time stopping fans from other clubs who are playing by the rules having their day out. So I believe they are getting away with it big time.
-
Can you recall their position when they did their escape before. They were doomed until they got the lift of beating us...oh Burnley Hull and Wolves are woeful. Wolves have to go to Fratton, Hull also. The others have a much harder run in. We have fans on here who think that we can make the play offs and we are 15 points behind! I will agree that it is doubtful but look back 50 pages on here and see the posts how Pompey would be dead by now, or toast.
-
Lol. Unfortunately at this moment in time my prediction is coming to pass

Somebody wake up Clapham saint and Bucks saint who are in the business to give us their inside knowledge of the workings of this process. Also their thoughts why the CEO has been left in place. It was interesting to hear Krasner on Solent and his views. He said' nothing in football surprises 'him when asked about Storrie keeping his job. he did say that the administrator was correct that he couldnt release players.
-
Storrie Keeps his job, 85 ordinary people lose theirs... Discuss...

while the people who may have , I state may have done wrong, are still in office they have the chance to lose the trail of wrongdoing. I still am dumbfounded that the CEO is still in place, I would have thought gardening leave would be the least the admionistrator would put him on.
