    Cov fans fighting eachother

    I did not say that I look down on the working class, and neither do I. I said I was middle class - that is not the same thing. I look down at those who show no respect for anybody else. I look down on people who's first reaction when they score is to be aggressive and sneering toward the...

    Cov fans fighting eachother

    I seldom go to a game - I stopped when we bought Marlon King. I went to Pompey though - first return since the recidivist arrived. Whilst there were no fisticuffs per se, there was plenty of aggressive gesturing. In particular I recall one Portsmouth fan whose first reaction to scoring was to...

    Great stuff and very practical. I have also come up with a list of equities I would have bought and sold this year.

    Councillor Kevin Maton

    Kevin Maton has been a member of the Labour party for 32 years. Is it any wonder that he does not agree with private ownership? Jeez.

    Coventry vs Doncaster match thread

    If we play like we did at Pompey we'll be lucky to get nil.

    Maybe we should follow Cardiff's lead?

    Yep, that's the reason. It's not the leaching of the club's money by some directors. It's not the mismanagement of the club since we fell from the Premiership. It's not the lack of money. It's not the ownership by a firm that's whole raison d'etre is to get financial returns greater than...

    Take me home, Highfield Road...

    Bigger does not equal better. Modern does not equal better. Sterile does not equal better. Highfield Road was a fine stadium - it was classy; it had atmosphere. The goals and drama and personalities from 106 years of football had seeped into the fabric and hugged each game. The Ricoh is a...

    Take me home, Highfield Road...

    I welled up a bit when the crowd sang this today. I love Fratton Park, reminds me of Highfield Road. It was a dreadful decision to leave, it really was. And where is Richardson now, does he even look out for the results each week? I don't know how he sleeps.

    That's it I'm done

    I decided to stop going when we bought King. I went to my first match today since then. I still want the club to do well, but it's too depressing to go all the time.

    Portsmouth Match thread

    Broadly agree. I think there was some contact on Eastwood and he certainly fell badly - but I don't think there was any intent from Wilson. That new left back is poor, and McDonald is not a lone striker - he clearly needs to play off a big guy who can hold it up and nod it on. Jutkiewicz and...

    SISU apologists seem to be looking uncomfortable !

    Nothing here is black and white. All we have is the press to form any opinion, and the CET is hardly a centre of excellence for investigative journalism. It's not being very enlightened to make absolute decisions based upon so little information. One possible read of the situation is that...

    Agree, without Lenin his policies quickly went awry.

    Sisu end game in play

    Agree with Sam. This is an attempt to limit their losses. The legal entities were always set up with this parachute in mind.

    Cov Uni = the Lanch? I reckon my sister was at that U2 gig. She must be about your age. I had left for Uni, she knew all the Comsat songs from me playing over the years but nothing of U2 (pop music that was).
