The9 Posted 13 March, 2014 Share Posted 13 March, 2014 (edited) I will give Barker credit for improving their defence, which as we all know is the basis for success in football. Though not usually if "defence" means 11 mean permanently behind the ball and no-one in the opposing half. Still not sure why Chesterfield were so bad against them though. They do have a couple of decent players there. Of course we know Connolly is at Oxford for now, not quite sure why he dropped Jervis and Wallace midweek given that they were their best players in the previous few matches and Jervis in particular looks like he knows what he's doing - though I'm not sure he's a finisher. God knows where Barcham's gone though - he was decent at the start of the season, with Connolly-like levels of performance. I note he hasn't played since the thrashing at Sçunthorpe though, so maybe he's one of those one-way players who doesn't defend... which basically just sounds like he should be up front, cos no-one else is.

"I still want to play for a few years," he said. "I've got another year left at Portsmouth. I don't think it's case of savouring it. It's my work, it's a job and something I'll keep doing until I've had enough. "It's good to come here.

Chez Posted 13 March, 2014 Share Posted 13 March, 2014 I think you'll find that MoneyPenny actually stood up and said, would the prime minister like to join me in a shallow PR campaign for votes in portsmouth by glossing over the demise of shipbuilding and talking about other stuff? And he said, indeed, let's heap praise on the local football supporters, big-up their little fantasy about 100% community ownership - and also remind everyone that I appointed a minister for the city so I really care about you all, so please vote for the tubby one in the swimsuit. Think I'll go and find her on YouTube flopping off that top board and hitting the water like a garage door - it makes me laugh just thinking about it!

Ohio Saint Posted 13 March, 2014 Share Posted 13 March, 2014 I love Portsmouth thanks to this thread. In the past, I had only one club to support, and one club to hate, but without following the hated team's fortunes on a weekly basis. These days, watching Portsmouth fail week by week is kinda like supporting them, isn't it? I honestly feel like I properly have two clubs now.

rallyboy Posted 14 March, 2014 Share Posted 14 March, 2014 That is the definition of portsmythmatics in a nutshell - All the money goes to the theatre, the rest goes to pompey and Sport Relief! So 100% can be converted into 120%-130% quite easily, in the same way that a giant cheque can be taken back off a kid in a wheelchair as soon as the photo has been taken - anything is possible in the land where a one million pound debt can be reduced to £40 and most fans gloss over it, or are just too thick to notice. What a strange island. At this point I should really confess - it's only just dawned on me that many moons ago I was taught maths on said island - and at no point was any of this latest stuff covered. 7 x 9 was 63, 6 x 8 was 48, at no point did I learn a table where 140 was reduced to single figures.

holepuncture Posted 14 March, 2014 Share Posted 14 March, 2014 Corpy isn't happy over on pol... I disagree that we should support Barker. Not only have we not imroved since sacking GW (which was the right thing to do) in the points per game we're achieving Barker's dour, turgid style of play is driving people away from FP and will without doubt see a fall in ST renewals for next season. I suspect the board realise this and that's why Catlin issued his "more money to spend on players" rallying call earlier this week. People seem to be suggesting that the style of football will somehow miraculously transform next season once Barker can bring in new players. He's brough in almost a full team of his own men and there's been no improvement at all. He's allegedly tightened up the defence but our GD has failed to improve in the slightest so the net gain once again is nothing. We've scored 7 goals in our last ten games which shows a pathetic lack of threat and to help address this Barker has sent the only two natural goalscorers we have on the books out on loan - where both have scored several goals. Not only are we not scoring, we're not even threatening to score. In the last three games we've managed 4 shots on target. That's four on target efforts in 270 minutes play. Or one every 67 minutes. Twenty or so games into his reign I can see no evidence of any progression under Barker, no style of play emerging, no method to his team selections and no promise. His style of play at Crawley was described as defensive & dour and his lat seven games there resulted in one goal. Why should we support this man? Nothing, absolutely nothing I've seen or read about him since he's been here makes me think he will bring success to this club. His churlish comments blaming previous managers, players and the Dalai Lama for poor performances are just the icing on an extremely **** cake I have been thoroughly enjoying catching up on this bestest following my absence over the last few weeks, then I scrolled onto this piece of gold. A great, in-depth analysis CORPY, LOL and PMSL at all your stats, what a pleasure for the eyes. Welcome to League Two you filthy skate c*nt.

Wes Tender Posted 14 March, 2014 Share Posted 14 March, 2014 Typical of the skate citizenry to attempt to break a World record using imaginary guitars. I have some other suggestions for them. Next they could go for the World records for the number of people simultaneously jumping up and down on imaginary Pogo Sticks and the length of time that imaginary hula hoops could be kept going by the greatest number too. I understand that the imaginary plate spinning record might also be within their grasp. Plenty of scope there for idiots in the PO postal code area to take money from their idiot neighbours. But that other record they are going for has been exceeded many times over by us on this very thread. Instead of the comedy having to last a mere 82 hours and be watched by a minimum 10 people at any one time, we have been entertained by Skate comedians for nearly five years. I would guess that any one time of the day or night, there were at least 10 people around the World in different time zones looking at this thread for their daily laughs and many had paid £5 for the pleasure of it. It's really a Tale of Two Cities. Their Theatres need massive sums to be raised to repair them and hover on the brink of financial collapse, a bit like their football club. We on the other hand have both a decent and highly profitable football ground and two decent theatres, both in good condition structurally and financially.
