That was a quote by John Pompey Westwood, not to be confused with something I said.

Christ, nightmares are coming back

Ive said various times that it doesn't matter how good the black box is, it is the person reading the data. Seems that we have poor analysts. To be fair, Kotchop, Salisu, Lavia have been pretty fair signings but some dross who have signed as well as the madness of extending contracts on massive wages has been also criminal

great news

He needs the attention. His whole attire is to make him a poor mans celeb, his only oxygen is to turn up at FP, if they banned him for life he would be finished as his appearances on tv , media would just cease

Was it on tv? I doubt it was difficult to watch on TV as a Pompey fan.

you have to give credit where credit is due. Most of them look as they are truants

I wish you luck in your fight, it will be a damn more braver than our team put on.

All personal opinion, but if he was manager we wouldn't be in this mess. You cant take the credit away of what he did in a small period of time. Re watch the League cup final and the quality of football he got the team to produce, let alone the 2 semi final legs against Liverpool , the game at Arsenal. Yes there were other disappointments eg Europe but those misses by VVD in those games cost us dearly

They left on their own accord of course. The fantasy was we didnt have to get rid of Puel

that is a tongue in cheek reply lol. Given him a transfer window or 2 and we would be in a better place than now

but we will still have the basis of what we have, and any with the slightest sparkle will have gone.

who will take them? they are on PL wages and big fat contracts.

Yes I think so, doesn't make it a bad thing to my mind

Its pleasing that I havent had the usual negative posts about him. Perhaps more people realise he wasnt that poor and would improve the team a great deal.

Im not sure what these intend to do. They dont seem to understand whatever craphole we play at fans want to see winning football teams who play a bit of attractive football. To some the quality of beer, pies matter but mean nothing if they are not entertained. My biggest non footballing gripe is how we make every game a home game for the opposition. The Northam do their best, but if they g ad stand elsewhere in the ground , especially in the Chapel they will hear how their efforts are drowned by the opposing teams fans. Rupert made a major error when planning the stadium by allowing the design to have the away fans sited where they are. I have always wished for the ground to have a kop like end where the fans suck the ball in. It will never happen, if I had been a billionaire I would demolish SMS and start again with a design that would really give the home team advantage. I would make sure the bricks I have in the stadium wall are preserved and put in the new ground though Lol

In what world does he think people like him are the majority? "It seems to me now that minorities in this world are telling the majorities what they can and cannot think. I’m for equality but they cannot foist their ideas on people."

what happened to JWP and his runs into the box. It was a good idea and worked, then we stop doing it. To my mind I dont feel JWP is a defensive midfielder as he is not a tough tackling player breaking up the play in the old sense. Surely getting him up the pitch and asking him to make forward passes would help.

a winger each side of the pitch up top, would make them have to take some players away. The wingers are too small to do much in the box

Like him or loathe him we wouldn't be where we are now if we kept Puel.

I just dont think he is putting the money in. Whilst a billionaire is very wealthy, putting a tenth of your wealth doesnt add up.

Why he changed the team is madness. To build on the Man U result was paramount. All optimism has evaporated in an instant.

I think we will see if it is their money. The owner is a billionaire but that does not mean he can throw £100m away. I suspect we, the club has taken on the debt and perhaps that £100m may come back and haunt us

When you hand the home advantage to the away team by placing their fans in a section of the ground where they nullify ours, its always going to happen. It seems to me we give the away teams more tickets than they should be. So for say 20k sales we lose more games due to our shortterm thinking.

I will get the usual abuse on here, but Redmond created as many assists as JWP last season, added the odd goal and at least caused some excitement as he added a touch of pace. The haters will disagree but he would have been useful to us
