PFC=Wigan of the south did you notice the Fratton end was empty in added time sunday? Those Pompey til I die fans must have had a mass suicide as they all had gone. More plastic at Pompey than at Tupperware party.

Will the auditor be cut then? A mistake that big really is not something that should be allowed to go by. I wonder how many other of these things are out there to be found out. It is a bizarre time in our lives.

I was relaying Jan had said to Martyin Tyler a fortnight ago.

where were the auditors? Who is in charge of overseeing these things. What with the banks not knowing how to run businesses and the govenment allowing these co## ups with the publics money whatever next

Ill take the bet. How do we go about it? I will be happy for you to contact Baj or Granty to put your money up so we know it gets paid and I will do the same. You tell me what you count as your top players and we can then get a list to make sure it is fair to both parties.Any winnings due to me can be made payable to Naiomi house childrens hospice. Leyt me know how to procede

Derry I understand and agree with you.I was one early on who questioned lallanas ability ie in shooting and end product. I also do not wish to criticise him too harshly as the fans love to make a hero and villain. DMG is the villain while AL has the fancy footwork that gets him out of jail when it comes to fair criticism. Lallana is still learning and does have some wonderful skill he just needs to be coached into making the right decisions and learn to make the difference in the 18 yard box not on the halfway line.he also needs to learn to challenge for aerial balls. I want him and DMG to develop into the players they have to potential to become and so am trying to hold off slagging any of them off.

I would have liked BD here before Jan. We have now made the decision to go with the youth, something that financially is correct. NP I hae respect for but dont see him as anything special. People will of course point to Leicesters results but they like Pompey had MM's millions behind them and so have not had to sell their players. They have a very good squad that should have easily stayed up,. NP has got disipline into the side and they will get promotion unless they start to falter like most clubs do in the second half of the season when leading for so long. I think we have a road chosen and we will keep to it, perhaps having a change of manager but the same players in the main.

perahaps Stoke want to be the new saints, Higginbottom, Delap Surman and Lallana ..oh and Andrew Davies. we'll probably do a straight swap those 2 for Pulis's son

Jan told Tyler that he thought Euell couldnt read the young players minds in how they passed and played.Or words to that effect. To me that was terrible man management as it made Euell look either stupid or not any good.Some will say that is correct, but to me he is what we need , although I didnt see him play at Burnley and so may be wrong.

I could not believe what Jan was supposed to have said about him to the commentator before the Palace game. If Jan does not rwate him then perhaps he will go but I myself have faith in his professionalism and will to be a major part in helping us out of the mire

why?

I tell you why he has not been ousted by us.If Mugabe was ever assinated by someone of whatever creed or colour the finger would be pointed at the whites/British. He is still a revolutionay hero to many of his countrymen after his exploits before Smith gave up power. That would mean a backlash against the white population and a bloodshed that would never be forgiven and so strife will be there forever.He will be allowed to live to a peaceful death.It is sick but politics, I have been told our government has stopped a couple of attempts on his life for this very reason.

I didnt know Scargill lived in Spain

Kevin we live in a blame society and so people need someone to blame. DMG is the current fall guy. Fans dont wish to see the plusses, although to be fair there are a lot who are supportive.3 weeks ago BWP had loads of threads about him.It seems to become a hero you have ot be loaned out and then you become a must have legend.

Is this a joke?

no you disappeared when the going got tough, jusrt as I said you would/did. You have been shown up as the big bragger and bag of wind you are. Goodbye as you will flit away until you can come and start with the big one again

we needed to join 2 years ago when the pound was at its strogest.We would be more wealthier than if we have to join when we are at parity.

IMO opinion he didnt touch the ball but as the commentators said he made a meal of the3 way he went down. Iam more than happy with Rudi and he did ok.He linked well with BWP and if we had someone instead of Roberstson we may have got some reward.

As much as it pains me to say that Um is right I have to do so on this occasion.He has just turned 21. Therefore DMG does have to get his mind in gear and start to show consistancy or he will be another who looked to have a bright future and let it go to waste.Im still prepared to give him some slack and would like to see him with a experiienced physically strong forward up wit hhim

is he ? I could have sworn he was 19 but I cant be faffed to look it up and I do know you would have and so trust your post.

by the way , the travelling support was fantastic singing came on the tv mostr of the game and the only time the Palace were heard was when they were safe at 3-0.Even then there was OWTS being sung just before the final whistle.

Ive been neutral about Jan to give him a chance to prove himself but his mistake in not putting on Wotton to stiffen midfield saturday and then not having Euell in the squad added to him bringing on the lightweight Mills when we needed some movement and muscle up front has made me become on the dissatisfied side.

dont worry we had the same bull when Crouch joined , Fuller also. MLT was called a lazy fat g##, and a luxury by some fans but they changed their minds on 2 of the listed and Fuller has proved himself since he found a club whose fans embraced him.Strangely he did well when he was loaned to Ipswich and came back (they also made him feel welcome) We had the same nonsense about KD last season as well.He's only 19 ffs

I cant recall the tackles, the one in the first minute he didnt touch the ball and in many games it would have been a pen and sending off. I thought as 1 of the major players he was hardly inspiring but perhaps I did mark him too low. DMG was not the worst player on the pitch IMO, he was hardly helped by Robertson who I cant understand most of all.Is it because he thinks he is going back to Sheffield and so is not trying to win usover.I was told he was going to cost us 500k in the exchange deal, at the moment that is far too much.As Dyer is not getting a game I expect neither will change clubs.

From the first minute we didnt seem to be at the races. I then said that we would lose by 3 or 4 as we were picked apart so easily.How the ref missed the push on Pearce I really dont know. I like the side to be disaplined but we take those things like pussies and dont give the ref a hard time. Pearce should have made it clear he was fouled. The tv commentator said it was a great finish, strangley enough had he hit it cleanly KD probably would have had a btter chance as it would have been straight to him. Robertson for a forward who was leading the line was dire and I cant see why he doesnt bust a gut to tackle and chase the defenders.That was something BT always did. We played nice football but it was ineffective,I try not to criticise Surman for shooting as we have be loathe to do so recently but it is from where he is shooting is my concern. Davis 5 James 7.5 until his bad mistake so 4 Rudi 5 Surman 7 Cork 6 Pearce 4 Perry 6 BWP 7 DMG 6 Robertson 1 Lallana 6.5 Jan 1 His decision making is poor to bring on a lightweight in Mills and take off the forward was maddening.To not have Euell in the squad is madness. Iam all for stability and happy for the way we are going with the youth but I have now come to think that Jan is not up to the job. RL has made a mistake in making him manager (although his coaching has been good) and needs to address this very soon.I myself will accept another 5 games for him to show that he can make the right choices, if not he(Jan) should go.
