Mr Biscuits Posted 14 April, 2016 Share Posted 14 April, 2016 Perhaps TCWTB and his band of tomfools could use a smoke canister in one of their extravaganzas. Wouldn't work, he'd try to ring it, another one would try to eat it and the third one would worship it as some sort of God. Passionately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dellboypete Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 I usually come on here when I need cheering up and rarely post - but I hope they haven't read the article about Leicester in the Guardian this morning http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/apr/15/leicester-city-dreamers-dream-makers-claudio-ranieri I enjoyed reading it but this paragraph made me think that our fishy friends will now believe that they have the right credentials to be future premier champions Jamie Vardy’s racism, caught on CCTV at a late-night casino, is not a stain that will wash out easily and let us not forget it was Leicester going into administration, wiping out £50m of debt, that shocked the Football League into imposing 10-point penalties for any clubs planning similar tactics. Leicester owed £6m in tax at the time and perhaps it would be a decent gesture, on the verge of hitting the jackpot, if they remembered the £16,000 they owed to East Midlands Ambulance Service or the £4,415 that should have been paid to St John Ambulance for providing first-aid volunteers. They have never seen a penny – and nobody can possibly say Leicester cannot afford to put it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 Presumably because FIFA and the FA were going to finance the Maradona Harbourdome until the underwater casino, Saab dealership and Mr Clive consortium stepped in and stopped them hosting World Cup games.

Mr Biscuits Posted 17 April, 2016 Share Posted 17 April, 2016 12 points in the season left. 8 teams are mathematically capable of overtaking them. Reality is that they just need to win the next two games and they'll be safe into the play offs. However given their penchant for royally f*cking things up I think we shouldn't discount anyone who could overhaul them on points just yet. York are pretty much gone so there's no pressure on them - they could really screw things up for the skates Wycombe should be an interesting match as they'll be looking to ensure their playoff spot Wimbledon will be the same Hartlepool have nothing to play for really So the two wins are there against York and Hartlepool as long as they don't f*ck it up.....

rallyboy Posted 18 April, 2016 Share Posted 18 April, 2016 I didn't think I'd see pompey on MotD2 ever again so it was a pleasant surprise to see them get a brief mention last night. For those that missed it, the credits were dedicated to relegated teams who are out there somewhere and who have never returned.

The9 Posted 18 April, 2016 Share Posted 18 April, 2016 (edited) 12 points in the season left. 8 teams are mathematically capable of overtaking them. Reality is that they just need to win the next two games and they'll be safe into the play offs. However given their penchant for royally f*cking things up I think we shouldn't discount anyone who could overhaul them on points just yet. York are pretty much gone so there's no pressure on them - they could really screw things up for the skates Wycombe should be an interesting match as they'll be looking to ensure their playoff spot Wimbledon will be the same Hartlepool have nothing to play for really So the two wins are there against York and Hartlepool as long as they don't f*ck it up..... They'll beat York who are absolute garbage, even though York will have the misfortune of getting relegated if they lose that match, which is on Tuesday night. York are 11 points behind Newport who are the only team they can catch, and they have 12 points to play for. Unfortunately York having to win at home will play into the predictable Skate hands, as they'll score a couple of the counter, and probably run up a cricket score as York collapse their way out of the league (and cost me the £600 I had on Newport in the process). Hartlepool are on a decent run of form under a new manager and could well cause them problems, but the Skates are bolted on for a play-off place - same number of points to automatic as to missing out altogether. They'll come 6th and lose to Plymouth or Accrington over two legs in the semi. Newport having lost their last 6 straight whilst scoring only one goal puts their win at Fratton into a whole new perspective, btw. FWIW I'm going to their almost certain "only the third worst team in the League" survival celebration at Luton on Saturday, they will lose and about 100 away fans will be there. I was able to count them on a freeze frame from Channel 5 for the game at Stevenage on the weekend - and yet most likely Portsmouth will STILL be in the same division as them next season.

The9 Posted 19 April, 2016 Share Posted 19 April, 2016 ‘We have a lot of people who are either on very low paid jobs or who are living on the state pension,’ said the Lib Dem councillor. He added there were many people working in the city on high incomes, but explained they tended to commute out of Portsmouth." I wonder why that would be? As for the "team better suited to League One" comment above, what in the actual hell? There's practically no difference between football from Championship to non-League other than the likelihood of mistakes being made. It's not like they're harbouring some ball-playing wonders who would benefit from a more tactical game, they literally only have one tactic anyway, and it consists of them running fast at the opposition when they have the ball.
