The9 Posted 23 November, 2013 Share Posted 23 November, 2013 We were definitely kept back a while, that's why Beasant came out and told us all jokes. Was dodgy afterwards, police lined the street for about 50 yards then there was none and it was just a free for all. I remember a big bunch of skates jumping out and steaming us from behind a petrol station. I have been reliably informed by my co-attendee that we were indeed kept back - I remember all the missiles, front and back, didn't remember being there after they'd cleared the pitch, but do remember being VERY late to the rendezvous at the car and hiding behind a wall/shrub thing.

The9 Posted 23 November, 2013 Share Posted 23 November, 2013 You must admit, tracking down missing players, travelling to Belgium etc to get a photo; then throwing it in the sea, is a bit odd whoever you support. Especially when you can buy 250 of that album's stickers for £20 on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 23 November, 2013 Share Posted 23 November, 2013 Got to say that is a riveting post from you. Well done, as always. I think you are not familiar with the "crazy quest" non fiction genre pioneered by the likes of Gorman, Hawks and Wallace. Can't say I am a massive fan but at I get the concept. All written and popularised in the early 2000s, and therefore a concept which is a good 10 years too late. Almost like Pompey fans thinking there may be some kind of funding issue at "their" club.

Surprised she didn't put in a claim for antiseptic mouthwash as well (and for some knee pads) used in the coercing. Avram must be p!ssed off he left so soon.

We were indeed. We eventually got out and by smiling sweetly at the coppers I managed to get away from the herding down towards the station, which is just as well as I live to the East and my car was parked appropriately. Needless to say I'm not the colours wearing type but still felt a bit nervous as I walked down the back alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 23 November, 2013 Share Posted 23 November, 2013 When struggling visitors with no manager outplay you at home, even the most ardent Whittingham fan must be wondering about the future. I was expecting a 3-0 home win that would have kept him in work until Feb, but things look dismal. How long before Connolly and the keeping coach take control? I see the packed fortress of fat is starting to show gaps as well. For those people who are disappointed that Saints didn't go top today, there's always someone worse off. And then there is pompey. It feels cruel to mock. Anyone still feel that despite lack of official sanctions and leniency by both courts and the FL, they haven't been punished yet? Look at that league table.

OldNick Posted 24 November, 2013 Share Posted 24 November, 2013 The high nett worth must be starting to get edgy, whilst the crowds are staying admirably high (14k) yesterday, although they are watching cup finals every time, the thought that they may well be staying in this league will send shivers down the spine. The likely hood of the crowds keeping to that level are unlikely next season. Promotion I assume is a must to keep in line for the financial planning. They still could get to the play off places if they go on a decent run, a new manager would be needed for that to happen though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one single points deduction actually hurt them. Had the minus 10 they received, after already being relegated, last season been carried over to this one - putting them bottom of the 4th division - I might have felt differently (but would probably be saying it should have been at least -17).
