The9 Posted 4 December, 2017 Share Posted 4 December, 2017 Saturday was a strange one for me. About 1pm a Skate goal came up on my Flash Score app. This prompted me to first think they were playing in the FA Cup, then remembered they lost to a team from League Two. Then I wondered why they were kicking off early, then I assumed they'd won a League game and might even be in the playoffs. It wasn't until about 24 hours later that I noticed they were playing in the Checkatrade, which of course they were "boycotting" last season, ie just not very good in... and obviously they're not interested in winning it...

suewhistle Posted 4 December, 2017 Share Posted 4 December, 2017 Well, at least they were at home. They had to pay the steward(s) and the st. Johns Ambulance but at least didn't have the cost of the coach not to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 9 December, 2017 Share Posted 9 December, 2017 Lower Championship is their level really. But they'll struggle to compete against the many bigger clubs financed by Premier League parachute payments or Chinese owners unless Eisner pumps in a serious amount of money.

Chez Posted 20 December, 2017 Share Posted 20 December, 2017 (edited) For my sins I ventured to **** park on Saturday to see if the Shakers could turn them over, again. Sadly, bottom of the league Bury weren't up to the task, although there wasn't much in it. Woeful marking of Matt Clarke, probably the best player the skates have got, allowed a free header for the only goal of the game. First time I've seen a side, other than us, lose at their place. I'm usually a proper jinx. By and large it was pretty dreadful. Bury only caused problems when Danny Mayor came on, who is a decent player - worth a look. Bury brought about 100 down and made little noise. The skates marginally louder. My friends thought I was surprisingly restrained, despite my best "**** off pompey, pompey **** off" throughout. One minor thing of note, they appeared to have given the place a lick of paint. Perhaps paid for by the ridiculously overpriced £25 ticket price for away fans paying on the gate. ****ing hate handing them money...

Pamplemousse Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 Mack’s right though, this thread has been quite quiet, not a lot of entertainment for us nutjobs. Our best bet for a few laughs is a play off defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 Skates are looking at one of ours. https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/pompey/jackett-still-keen-on-saints-defender-wood-1-8311935 or maybe not. Kenny Jackett is keen to have another look at Southampton left-back Will Wood. The left-back spent a day training with the Blues last month and is out of contract this summer. The Pompey boss explained the 21-year-old would not be recruited, however, without him having a closer look at what he offers. Jackett said: ‘There hasn’t been anything with him yet. 'We want to add some good players if we can.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 Very little to discuss at the moment other than the odd defeat. Things wont get interesting until they make the championship and their superior spending power disappears. Then and only then will we get a chance to see how willing the owner is to `invest' to make it to the top flight. In the mean time here's another `mind the gap story' to help us feel superior during our own on field troubles: https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/pompey/jackett-still-keen-on-saints-defender-wood-1-8311935 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 4 January, 2018 Share Posted 4 January, 2018 Even in our current state we would thrash them, absolutely no problem. Our League 1 team was better than their current League 1 team and their Premier League relegation team was worse than our current Premier League team (which may or may not get relegated). And that dreadful PL team beat our League 1 team 4-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 4 January, 2018 Share Posted 4 January, 2018 The shrewd football fan chooses the correct time to laugh at others less fortunate, so I'll keep my powder dry for the mo.... But if anyone fears a closing of the gap, let's just remember that Eisner bought the entire club and its four year history for £5.6m. Compare that with £75m for one player and it puts everything into context. While we are clearly struggling in the Atlantic, the plucky minnows are currently flapping about in sixth - in a puddle.
