So much for mind games - lost it in the final minute of added time. I'm really losing hope for this season.

10 minutes left, 2 each - what chance of not losing? Today is going to be the day to change things, we will not lose it, we will win (keep repeating to yourself!)

Why can defenders not get to a saved penalty before strikers?? It happens so often. Murphy must be raging. We need another goal now, but Ipswich sound much stronger than us. Maybe Ollie can be our hero!

yesssss!!! Gary Deegan just made it 2-1 City, just on half-time. Surely, we cannot come from behind to win!!! Long overdue.

YESSSSSS Level within 3 minutes. Sammy Clingan penalty.

1-0 down after 22 minutes. Commentary says a series of defensive errors led to the goal - Clarke, Wood, Clingan. First first-half goal we have conceded in 10 games! Hate not being at the game, even though we are losing - I decided the snow would probably leave me stranded after the game. Still...

News on BBC South tonight is that Pompey's administrator has said they face a likely winding-up order from HMRC in the next few days for unpaid tax bills. So they would be facing liquidation, ceasing to exist, which would not be a points penalty but would - I think, but am not sure - mean no...

Some of our Ernie's made a big impression on me back in the early 70s: ERNIE HUNT - for being such a character, a rebel and a great footballer. More memorable for me than the donkey kick was a stunning volleyed goal at WBA in the FA Cup - it was a virtually impossible angle to score from, but...

This signing makes a lot of sense to me. Left-back has been a weakness since we lost Danny Fox. Hussey is the only proper left-back we have and he is injured anyway - even when fit, he is prone to making mistakes. HH has the experience to provide some leadership and organisation on the pitch...

As a team, you did not have a good day, though I did like the way you start passing from deep - similar to Swansea last season except your defenders looked more likely to make mistakes and give the ball away! Your left winger Noone did impress me - he ran rings round Christie in the first half...

Thanks for that Johnniericoh. I do vaguely remember him now! Cheers.

I was there that night, freezing cold and a bitter-sweet occasion, as we were playing the best club team in Europe but there was nothing but pride at stake after the first-leg thrashing. I recall all our players well except I have a mental block on Hill - who was he, anyone know? Neil Martin...

I predict we'll finish with 45-50 points this season as a take-over will go through in January, a new manager will be installed, no players will be sold and we will buy 2 strikers, 2 pacy wingers and a creative goal-scoring midfielder by the end of January. We may still get relegated but we will...

As well as reduced season ticket sales, there would also be a major drop in income in Div 1 from away supporter sales. Selling 5000+ tickets when Leicester, West Ham, Leeds come visiting, and 2000+ for quite a few other Championship teams is just not going to happen in Div 1. It all adds up to a...

I agree with you on this - the whole is less than the sum of the parts! And that has got to come down to management. However much I like Andy Thorn, I do not think he is proving to be a good manager this season. SISU are the fundamental problem, but AT's inexperience and limitations are making...

Even in our dispirited and morose state, the one song we can still sing loudly together is the Sky Blue song. The 'Tottenham or Chelsea, United or anyone' lines have long become irrelevant anyway, so let us sing a Protest version instead. How about one of these 2 options: 1. 'SISU or Brody...

4 sounds like a good starting point for the Dorset Sky Blues - enough to fill a car to the Ricoh or meet up for a pint/curry maybe? I'm already in contact with Skyblueindorset so Skybluejohn and Skyblueelee I'll PM you with some contact details. This is great - suddenly I don't feel so alone...

3rd Jan would allow him to play 7 games for us. Just dreaming, that is a potential return of 21 points, which would push us up to comfortable mid table. OK, that is not going to happen, but maybe 4 victories could and that would get us just clear of the relegation zone. So, this loan could...

The original poster picked this up from a comment made by BlueSkyBlue03 on an article entitled Luckless Coventry City praying for change of fortune, written by Andy Turner this morning on the CT website. It caught my eye also - not that I have any clue what is going on anymore - the lunatics...

You all seem to be saying the same thing here - that ROD's footballing ability is very limited, but think business for a moment! He has only 18 months left on his contract and he would probably accept quite a modest offer right now for a long-term contract extension. This would significantly...
