Oh come on the ref is outside the box when a corner is taken. The cameras did not show anything else apart from the BC player and our back 2 , we dont know how many were 10yards behind by the time he scored

That is just how the government wish you to believe. When they came to power they took away the powers of the Bank of England to regulate and left the power to the bankers boys club FSA. they of course couldnt give a toss, and the bankers at the top took a once in a lifetime opportunity to make more money than you can dream of and so their famillies are financially secure for ever. During this time the government went on a spending spree on health and education and wars.the money the city was 'earning' was bringing in taxation that the chancellor loved spending.it then got to a stage where he couldnt reign it in as he was embroiled in the spend spend phiosophy.Blair saw the writing on the wall and has walked away smelling of roses when he was overseeing it as well. I and others were questioning how houses could go u 15-20% a year when wages were only going up 2-3%. So much so I sold my house 4 years ago and downsized and put the difference away to protect the gain. Any school kid would think it odd that people could lend 125% to somebody.i f they cant pay a deposit of 1% how will they ever pay 125%. It was madness and the government should have done something eve n as late as the day Northern Rock fell.

Now that's better I thought you were going soft in your old age.

thick as s### may also be reason

I suppose a grudging acknowledgement is as much as I could expect

I have said /thought the same all along.Although I did read the letter by Richards that was posted up on here from the time of the Wilde bunch nad he seemed sensible.Askham and co dont have any credit in my book.There are others that have been around the directors box for decades who should hold their heads in shame as well.

well smarty pants the original post was in reply to the statement that the ref and 2 of our players were the only ones close to play and no others were to be seen.It was not about James and Surman.So I will accept your apology

I think it is past him doing so.The only way a change of manager will happen surely will be if money comes in.

How am I defending the players Andy.We are 1 down in injury time and the team pile into the box including the keeper.James is left to defend (when o myself would have put a speedier player to do so), to try and equalise. It was in the dying seconds, what was wrong none of our players blocked the keeper to stop him coming for the ball.

How is what I described be out of touch?

I dont think the finances that seem to have improved a little are such a problem it is the teams lack of points in the last 10 games that have caused so much problem.The team was full of experience yesterday and still failed. We all are floundering without knowing exactly which way to go. The removal of RL will help a little with the fans who hate him but I dont know it will help on the pitch.Can we afford another manager in now to change things yet again|?

The authorities never stopped the obvious disaster of overborrowing and the masses also borrowed more than they could afford.I suggest 70-80% of the population joined into the party and now have a hangover we all can share in.

It went into the mix, the keeper should have been blocked from getting to it and then from releasing itquickly.Sadly we dont have the muscle to do these things

It was the last minute in injury time and we threw the whole team into the box to try and get a goal.Their keeper took the ball and threw it straight out and their player is very quick.There was no way any of our players would make up 20 ye ards on him

I dont rate him highly but he did add something when he came back in the first few games.I wonder why we dont try BWP up alongside Saga and give DMG a rest(i still think he will develop but needs to be taken out of the firing line for a few games ).BWP scored twice at Reading and then was dropped it is ridiculous.

Under 10000 probabl in the region of 8-9 but with a little success 10+ poor results and sub 7k IMO

He is managing Brighton who have just slipped into the relegation places in L1

you are kidding?

All due respect but where is Adams jnr?

For every Swansea there are many who havent

My neighbour is a Pompey fan and had his shirt hanging on the washing line.A thief came along and stole the pegs

I still cant see why a person with money will wait for the club to be a L1 side before coming in.As waiting for administration is what that is doing.If i was wealthy enough Im sure I would not wait if I really cared enough and was prepared for the aggro of oning a football club

Mike Osman using a very tired old joke, shame. MO was very much in favour of MWetc and so perhaps should keep out of the jibes as that change hasnt helped one jot.

If you look at any of the good sides they have pace and muscle, we have neither in abundance

What percentage of ratepayers would be prepared to pay more council tax to help buy the club? 1% idoubt it would be many more.
