  1. I get your drift Alps.
  2. He would complain that Bechstein had not designed the piano properly
  3. All those who are only registered members should have their 3 posts a day cut to 2. Whose with me on this? That would sort out the cheapSkates. In fact that is the name of the petition Cut the cheapSKATES quota. We can even call Stu a Skate then
  4. MB a tip , if you want to catch a thief next time run in the same direction as him not the opposite way
  5. funny this comes out when HR is conviently in his sickbed.No Sky interviews.
  6. Tiger is correct but I think Im right in saying that all the big earners were told this but it was who went first was to be waved goodbye. Seeing the squads I expect BWP, JE and Rudi will be pushed closer to the front of the exit.
  7. Plan A through to Plan z is the same as we have no option.If you are in the desert dying of thirst and find muddy water you cannot afford to wait until you find champagne. You dont seem to have a grasp of fundamental economics, if you are losing a lot of money and you have a chance of cutting those losses by ridding yourself of a major outgoing you must do so.Saga, Rasiak etc are just those luxuries we cannot afford. I realise you have set this thread up and so you can say this time in 6months 'I told you we couldnt let the goalscorers go' but as you have not seen the dynamics of our fluent forward play you have no faith in it. From what I saw at Exeter the cunning and guile from the forward line was heartening, its the defending from set pieces that we need to worry about.
  8. there never was a roof on the Milton....oh yes there was...oh no there wasn't. Its doing my head in, if there was it was very late in the day.
  9. Thank heavens you only have 2 more posts left today, the debate about GH has not been done for about 3 weeks
  10. if you have no pot to p### in do you refrain from taking one?
  11. To rub shoulders with top celebrity chairman like Sullivan and the Golds I expect they will do so.
  12. To be fair when we scored the 2nd the game was up, it was only a joke of a goal by them gave them a lift.In games like this once you get a 2 goal lead against lower opposition you should win comfortably, unless you are managed by Glenn Hoddle.
  13. yeah 2012 is when Pompey are going to win the Olympics ,get it right.
  14. The scoreline does say convincing.The truth though was that to be leading half time was flattering.The second half was end to end but we nearly killed the game off with Lallanas terible miss and Holmes attempt saved.MCG then scored a greatr goal and the game was over, until Barts error.They didnt cause us any real problem though and Lallana and Gillete took the ball to the corner flag, before setting up the move that got us the pen. 1 thing that I thought Jan missed a trick onwas when Exeter scored and we got close to injury time he didnt slow the play down by bringing on a sub.
  15. No I dont fall into the trap believing that only working class people dislike RL.Scooby cleverly knows that by seemingly being aloof that it infact works in his favour as it immedaitely puts some fans backs up. I have suspected all along that he is not from the 'Toff' classes but a normal man in the street. A 'Toff' in the old sense of the word would not come on here and would be better brought up than to scoff at the less well educated/well off. Its a game to Scooby and some of you are being played.
  16. Thankyou Greenridge, my post got you out of your box and you put out an arguement that I believe in as well, although only up to a point. Iam not unwavering in support of RL but will not sit and let some of the mistruths develop.If MW had not come on himself that false rumour about not being at the game would have become fact. I again was appalled that the slurs against GB regarding his drinking should be allowed to fester.Because nobody came on to deny it gave people to believe it as true.(Im not saying he didnt like a drink by the way, but the falsehoods of him being drunk at worketc). Fans running a club was always going to be a nonsense and I warned that having 4-5 businessmen with all thier egos was never going to work out.You need 1 vision and be brave enough to adhere to it. For me RL's arrogance that he is correct is our way forward.He has come back deciding that he isnt going to be swayed by fans, and go for it his way.If the fans dont follow he has lost little because he gets the blame whether it was his decision or not. He has grasped the nettle and taken the stick and I do admire that as many would have gone for the 'nice way' to appease. Once we are stable then we may be attractive to a buyer but more importantly as a fan I think we may be attractive to watch, attacki8ng wise anyway. The way the forwards did their interplay was a beauty to behold on tues night.I understand that was mainly after Stern came on and it was Exeter but I believe the forwards quick minds and movement will cause problems to many higher class defences. As for the PL you are deceiving yourself if you really believe wee can get there in the next 5 years without big money coming into the club. I see it as, the club will develop the youngsters and their sale will keep us going, MCg will start to get clubs attention and before a year is out he will be gone to balance the books.This will be the common theme in our future watching the team. Enjopy the kids playing and if that gets us success then that is a bonus.At present survival is our number 1 aim.
  17. surely not, isnt he in the process of running his own business? Stu dont be mad the guys running this site will make very little if anything.If in a few years time they do,why worry?
  18. Hey Greenridge, you, I thought had a bit of brain.RL is not my idol. I support Scooby on this thread because people want him banned, for what?? He is at times very amusing because he knows exactly what pushes some of the very rabids buttons. RL is the best way forward at present if no body is going to take us on.You may have loved the way LC and LM were leaving their heads in the sand and not grasping the nettle I was not and saw RL was the best option of the 2 scenarios. I was very vocal in my anti bringing HODDLE back stance and argued against RL on that issue. You are one who doesnt actually give views but just criticises people who do.I would like to know if you have any thoughts of your own how the club could move forward other than the RL way.
  19. no it cant be as late as that.God if it was Ive got some humble pire to eat......there again if it isnt boy will you boys be on the end of a superior smile
  20. but Wes you fell for the very stereotype, because him mentioning flat capps yuo immediately thought he was meaning working class. We are all guilty of jumping on things that can be put to set us up.
  21. I dont think he is a Skate, but if he is fair play. Anyone with the right sense of humour could do posts that Scooby does, as he goes to the limits of worshipping RL and puts the views down as if he was.That gets the antis back up and then mix in their chips on thier shoulders about the class war and you have it.
  22. Hey thats plagerism I posted that higher up the page.Get your own material
  23. Yep, it does weaken any sympathy. Does anybody know what happened about the the main steward in the carpark last season.There was a furore about him pushing a grandfather and grandson or something?
  24. All due respect and all that but you came on here telling us a steward had pushed your daughter over and wiahing to get us against the club and now you wish to not go into the details.Thats not right, surely.
