  1. Well the advantage is to the away team kivcking ot their fans. We are polarised in our opinions on this. I believe we need something.Some thought the white witch helped before,and our form turned so why not change something that may just give a slightly different mindset. It would be interesting if we could find the ststs we results kicking to each end second half.It may just show no difference but you never know it may show a better win ratio.
  2. No but they had a bloody good try
  3. A nightclub and pubs without camera phones, you are not from Pompey are you? Seems to be the same story that Duncan talks about on here.
  4. you dont think we haven't been there.What has happened to think that all of a sudden.Look at it from an outsiders view.You were buying top players well above the financial position you were at. You had some days that were wondeful and now you are having a bit of medicine. You are hardly on deaths door, you may well struggle but you are still punching above your weight and are hoping to be baled out yet again and then will expect to have the stars again. Your club will and should cut its cloth accordingly, football is the only business where profit comes second and in time most clubs will have ot come into the real world.
  5. I'll give you that he does sound pie eyed when he talks. He brought us KD so we should be forever grateful for that dont you think?
  6. I hope that this does go through as Storrie will have his other man ready and waiting, who seems far more wealthy.
  7. You might be pleased he hasn't.If it is the case Storie will be able to bring his crowd in...oh sorry crowd is not a correct term when talking about your lot
  8. Well that is news to me. I am not denying he liked a drink but the way it is portrayed is not as it was IMO. We know how false rumours are spread, you only have to ook on here and you see how it grows.KK at SMS and it urned out to be Mervyn King Lol
  9. Norwich, man u Spurs. i dont go to many away games. Of course in the old grounds this would not be he case. I remember when we gave the away fans the archers in the old bike shed,the away fans were then able to create more noise than the home fans, after lots of complaints it was changed.Of course that wouldnt make a difference in some peoples minds, but i recall when Newcastle froze when the archers got up for it in an amazing turn of atmosphere that time where we were drifting to a 1-0 loss but the game turned and we won 3-1.it was not down to the players doing something but the Archers lifted and changed the grounds atmosphere, i was up in the east stand and you could feel it sweeping the ground.The players got energised and things changed, it was remarkable.
  10. I find that hard to believe DD. Rasiak also played fir him at Derby and so would have known about any problems before. Other managers were at the club who didnt play him either, are you saying it was for the same problem?
  11. What happened to your knee then?
  12. Where have you been? i have missed you. I thought GB took you with him up to Jockland
  13. Diego may be heading that way afterall after Argentina's WC campaign, i think they are not likely to qualify.
  14. You cant add the failure of the D&G period to back up your case. They were bad results seperately and have no basis on GBs or NP's performance. The fact is GB's ratio was better and I do agree it is by a small amount. The last 7 league results under GB were Hull h 4-0 Cov a 1-1 Prest h 0-1 Colch a 1-1 Barns a 2-2 Wat h 0-3 Scun H 1-0 Not relegation form. At the time of his departure we were looking to the play offs not relegation. You also have to throw into the equation the statement that in jan we would have to sell all our players (Hoos statement) that caused a lot of uncertainty. GB has gone , he dropped us like many others. NP dide no wonders here but is at present doing very well as manger at Leicester.Not withstanding him being bankrolled by MM and a season in L1 with a squad that was very well equiped to do well with a couple of decent strikers. Still he has done well and IMO it is not about him anyway.
  15. Alps you know that each post has to be debated accordingly. You made an insinuation that I believe is unfair.
  16. they seem to be preparing for the CCC and hope o bounce straight back
  17. Thats correct.We havent seen Waigo play yet and perhaps expecting too much too soon.
  18. St Marco im used to your sweeping statements and inaccuracies and so smile when I read them.Your first point of us playing in a lower league means nothing as TB and LM also have figures based on that .Add to that the quality of team we put out was better in higher leagues so you can only go by results. Please tell me how NP's ratio is as good the season they were both at the club? GB played 28 games 10 wins 5 draws 11 defeats NP played 13 games 3 wins 7 draws 3 defeats (not including Plymouth home his first game as manager) I cant see that as being anywhere near comparable. As for your assertion that fans from other clubs he has managed hate him is just nonsense. I know the Ipswich fans dont. IMO he left us and had no care in doing so, much like Hoddle Bally LM Souness and so he is no better than them, as they all left us to go onto a perceived better job.
  19. You're not for real,.Your personality just can't accept being wrong. Insinuation is nastier than accusation, accusing somebody you are at least being honest in opinion, insinuation is cowardly
  20. for a moment i thought I had typed that stuff.Lol Unlucky Saint Clark you are going to be £20 light in the pocket. If I was you I d hedge the bet by putting another 20 on spurs being beaten by Pompey as that is a sure fire bet.HR will do anything for them to be buddies again.
  21. 'As for the accusation, trying having a word with a few city centre taxi drivers when you have the chance, as I did when I came home recently..' Your quote. That is insinuation at worst.
  22. You have won £20 Baj if it was mathmatical it would be won every week and DB would be the first winner.
  23. Well if you make accusations it is best you have better than the word of a taxi driver's 2nd hand story.The concept of a national manager being p##### everynight and staggering all over the cities of the UK and not 1 person has of yet has been able to get a camera photo does not seem plausible.Big Foot has been photoed more times FFS. GB had a better points per game record than most other managers over a decent period of time. just because football judges like yourself dont think he did a good job doent mean he was a failure.You love wallowing in these things, your opinionwill not change and nor will mine. In the circumstances he did ok, there were lots of factors being played out behind the scenes and it was at a time when the club was still in awful turmoil.The fans still thought we were god given right to be in the PL and it has taken near on 5 years for many to accept that it has to be earn't. The squad had been thinned out and money was spent, RL was deposed and Gb was allowed to overspend, whose fault was that? I was thinking the other day about all the times in our first season down where we sang to the opposition 'you will never play here again' how right we were.Lol
