gaz Posted 26 December, 2012 Share Posted 26 December, 2012 No money in the bank, journeymen mercenaries robbing the club blind, a takeover that is a non-starter (never mind the property developers wishing to pillage the carcass for what its worth), ten point deduction on the horizon for the relegation bound ship, and now, the self-coined "bestest" fans can't be bothered to turn up in their hour of need. Pompey, nobody cares about you. Go away quietly and die with what little dignity you have left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 26 December, 2012 Share Posted 26 December, 2012 a 2-1 home defeat to Crawley.... sounds really depressing and glad we are top flight again...

rallyboy Posted 26 December, 2012 Share Posted 26 December, 2012 that is a tough result to take - beaten at home by your local rivals as they head up and you head down. They're coming for you, they're coming for you - Aldershot and Eastleigh are coming for you!.... No, that can't be right, pompey are a massive club, one of the biggest in Europe with a fanbase that dwarfs the likes of Rangers, Newcastle and Liverpool. They are the most special fans, that's why players come to Fatpipes instead of going to minnows like Spurs and Celtic - I keep hearing and reading that, the fans who never give up supporting the sleepiest giant in the world. The tables must be wrong. It's that nasty league rewriting the results and sending emails to refs, yeah, that's the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 27 December, 2012 Share Posted 27 December, 2012 So, the end of the month rapidly approaches. January is the transfer window. How many of their monthly contract players will re-sign on 1st Jan and tie themselves in when they could go to a real club? Could be a nervous few days down the road as they head for the 15th Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutch Posted 27 December, 2012 Share Posted 27 December, 2012 What with Mr.Robinson having renewed his vows, and the unprecedented success in converting pledges into cash, I'm expecting an urgent application to bring the Court date forward, because to wait until the last minute on 15th might suggest that they can't really improve their case.

tony13579 Posted 27 December, 2012 Share Posted 27 December, 2012 http://www.chichester.co.uk/sport/football/pompey-latest/pompey-boss-lifts-lid-on-shock-striker-omission-1-4621196 Guy Whittingham has revealed Izale McLeod’s Crawley omission was down to tactical reasons rather than a sign he is heading out of Fratton Park. The Blues’ top scorer was yesterday dropped from the side for the first time this season. Paul Benson was instead preferred in the 2-1 defeat to the Reds. The on-loan striker netted Pompey’s only goal, with McLeod appearing as a 74th-minute substitute. McLeod has already been linked with a move to Swindon and is expected to attract plenty of interest when the transfer window re-opens. Whittingham is adamant the former Barnet man has not told him of any intent to quit, though. And the caretaker boss revealed the decision to axe McLeod after 25 successive starts was down to a wish to operate with a 4-3-3. He said: ‘Izale has done a fantastic job for us when he has played in that wide area. ‘We just thought yesterday that Paul Benson was the right way to go and felt Mendez-Laing might create something for us. ‘Darel Russell and Brian Howard have got themselves forward well and that is what we were looking for this time. ‘We did bring Izale on to try to help us in the 4-4-2 situation. ‘He is not a wide man, it is a special position. People think you can play him all over the place but we want players playing where they should be playing. ‘Although Izale wasn’t picked up front yesterday – we felt the game was right for Paul Benson to play in that position. ‘Come Yeovil we will reassess. ‘Benson is a bit more combative in the air, he is better coming to the ball. ‘Whereas, it is no secret Izale is one of those who you want to put in a ball for him to run on to.’ Regardless of yesterday’s reasons, there is growing uncertainty McLeod will stay at Fratton Park. His contract runs out on January 16, along with seven other players.With 11 goals to his name he will attract other clubs and arguably will be Pompey’s most coveted player next month. Certainly Whittingham is anticipating plenty of interest in the striker. He added: ‘Izale has not said anything at all that he could be going. ‘Of course I am expecting interest, though. ‘He’s our top scorer with 11 goals this season and up among the highest in the league. ‘I would be interested in him if I was somewhere else. ‘Especially as he’s a free agent. ‘All players want is a bit of security and at the moment this football club cannot offer it. ‘It can offer great fans, great support, what I think is a good coaching side of things with top staff. ‘What we cannot offer them – if they are looking for it – is security and for that reason some could go next month.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopGun Posted 28 December, 2012 Share Posted 28 December, 2012 I'd imagine they are desperate to get the game on, in terms of better the devil you know. Another delayed fixture is bad news in many ways for Pompey. At least they have a semblance of a squad right now and 3 points would be a morale booster for the PST financial cause. Although if Yeovil win, it would be a very bitter blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
