We were robbed of this Misery title. In that period, Pompey have had an FA Cup win and a promotion, and Wimbledon (in reincarnated form) have had a huge amount of fun. Like the Yorkshiremen in Monty Python, I will continue to insist that we've had it worse than anyone else.

Yes, I spotted that too, but PLEASE everyone let's not divert this thread :)

I was trying to work out what you meant by reverse chronological order. And then I looked at the figures and realised it makes fcuk all difference which way round you put them :) Not sure why you left off the next 5 in the sequence, which are 11th, 15th, 19th, 16th and 12th? To be honest our...

I see one of the criteria is "near misses". Well we won't score any points for that because there haven't been any near misses have there? In pursuit of this award, we've kept ourselves out of the top ten for 25 of the last 26 seasons, and made sure we almost never win a cup match. And now we...

In the past 10 weeks we have lost in the Third Division to Colchester, Peterborough, Shrewsbury, Rochdale, Barnsley, Fleetwood, Scunthorpe, Southend and Burton. Like everyone else, I’ve endured some hard times following this club, but surely this is the most pathetic run of the lot. Despite...

I agree Lee, outside the top ten 25 times out of 26 is disgraceful. How the hell do we tolerate it? Since we are into self-flagellation … In the 48 seasons since promotion to the top flight in 1967:- Average No. of places from the BOTTOM of the league = 6.8 In the 23 seasons covered by...

I'm sure there is - I know the reality is that money talks. I was only trying to cheer myself up :)

Money helps when assembling a team, but large amounts can be squandered, and small amounts can be spent well. Cash plays no part on the pitch. Famous players can be rubbish, unknowns can sometimes outplay them. And since CCFC has been reduced to operating on a shoestring, what choice do we...

According to that, he's already "singed" with us. Perhaps he cost us a tenor?

"Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal." A nice quote from the legend, and one we may need to repeat as a mantra for years to come.

Not an interview as such, but an item on the CCFC website - use the link posted by Torchomatic (No. 4 on this thread).

Yes, and Mark Venus refers to "the project we're building here". I know talk is cheap and we've heard it all before, but it's still good that they are talking in those terms.

He did admit that there is a lot of work that needs to be done on the question of a ground before the club would be in control of its destiny. He stated that the club needed to work closely with the council to achieve a successful outcome. Not sure what the reference to the Council is about...

It makes a nice change to be thinking about something positive for once. If would be good if the Maddison money allows us to do a few deals like this - nobody is demanding big-name signings, just something to suggest there might be a plan.

I’m sure Cranfield wouldn’t consume to excess like that. He obviously missed out a decimal point, and actually had three very modest 500ml glasses, which equates to 2.6 pints.

Indeed he did point the finger at the Council, and was full of praise for Joy & Tim even as he walked out on them in the middle of the battle. I somehow doubt they would be keen to sign him up again. I know what you mean about the slump - it would obviously have come! But personally I think...

Indeed. Is it going too far to imagine him reporting to Ms Seppala’s office with an A-Level Statistics book tucked down the back of his trousers?

I loved it while Robins was the manager, but it’s hard to overlook the fact that he cleared his desk and walked out on us like spoilt child. And I doubt if Joy has forgotten that either.

Really disappointed that TM is sticking with such a small team and trying to play our way neatly out of this tough league. Fine while it was working, but we have been completely sussed, and to defeat the system teams really only need to work hard on closing us down. We have no physical...

Ms Seppala appears to be saying that we were run by the wrong people until 2012. But the things that have happened since then represent an improvement, and everybody at the club is working to a clear plan that the fans understand. Thank goodness for that. We need a rent reduction, well...
