“8-1. 8 bloody 1...” Now I’m watching Ripping Yarns episodes!

I was actually thinking of Accrington when I commented!! He did a bit of skill, a few step-overs or something, by the touch line, which completely bamboozled their player. I turned to the person sitting next to me and said...”different class”. Then went back to shouting obscenities at everything...

What a great talent he is. I hope he performs this year. Every game I’ve seen him, even on his off days, he’s shown flashes of brilliance.

Yeah, I can’t really remember his rationale. I guess it would make more sense if he refused to recognise any nations. Anyway, it was a long time ago...he’s probably in UKIP by now. Good teacher though! I remember I asked him what he thought if I supported England as I was familiar with their...

Just re-read the original theme...yes, I do know people who are English born and bred and adopt an anti-English stance. I remember my old teacher at stringer saying that he would always support whoever england were playing against in the football. It was a Marxist thing.

I know quite a few people who are happy for England to fail. I think they argue that a brief search through some history books might explain where this comes from. Coupled with the perception that everything within Britain is Anglo-centric.

Don’t worry...we’ll look after him. Pompey have done alright though...anything but dull! Two cup finals, a couple of promotions, 18k gates, lassana diarra et al entertaining everyone for a while. We’d dream of swapping our last 15 or so years with you! My old man has supported them for the best...

He’s getting on a bit now...

The link doesn’t work for me but is there a way of voting for other teams now so that Sunderland can be knocked further down the rankings?

I’m sure Robins would’ve asked his opinion at least.

If we are spending this much on him I can’t see us getting anyone else in. I think even £500k is a lot for a league 1 player in the final year of his contract. Especially one who hasn’t been a regular starter...and I think he’s good!!

I’m not sure what statement that would be making.

I’d tend to agree but it seems we’ll have more creativity than last year...and possibly more goals from other areas? Part of me would like to see if Ponticelli is the goal scorer people think he can be.

Yep, maybe even an improvement! It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on in the championship. I blame that Dennis Mortimer... Nb I do not blame that Dennis Mortimer.

If not men, who do you like with beards?

Pompey played with Brett pitman as their striker. He got goals, but I think others suffered as a consequence. For example Kal Naismith was played on the wing, was released and has just signed for Wigan. I think Chaplin might be someone that could shine in another side.

I’ve seen Chaplin a few times and think he’s good. I’d say he is trickier than mcnulty but he is very small. My Pompey scouts (hi mum, hi dad) reckon he’s too lightweight to make the grade...but they’re Pompey fans so what the fuck do they know!

Can’t be arsed to check if this has been said... EarlsDon Hutchison

Yep. At least burge seemed to improve. We’ll defo need some competition for him. Is addai any good/ready to compete? Slightly off topic, and in the realms of fantasy rumours, I was told the other day that RCC is off to PSV Eindhoven!!!!

I’ve seen it noted on here about his tackling...I just haven’t particularly noted it myself. If this is the case, like I say, maybe he’s just not that sort of player? I think most of the new players are unknown quantities so, in respect of the squad, who has he suddenly dropped behind?
