Yep, his career has gone downhill quickly...

Although he was class, and should have got more recognition, I can understand Peake not getting a cap...he played for cov for starters. I’d be tempted to say that from that era Gynn could have been called up too. I’m pretty sure nick Pickering got a cap...maybe before he joined us? Bruce on the...

Are they bottom of the Indian super league and sponsored by vodaphone by any chance? Gregory is essentially 5% football manager, 45% busby (see shit telephone advertisements), and 50% Dracula.

John Gregory! Christ! He was selling phones the last time I heard. Would still get a bad reception here...

Now that’s mind games!

Fair enough. Like I said, the real travesty was that Dion didn’t go to a World Cup.

I was 8 and he was my hero! Plus my dad who is a Pompey fan said Hately was shite. I therefore figured England need a big man...

I was too young for any of that but remember seeing maradonna’s wonder goal and regretting that John Barnes didn’t start/come on sooner. I also remember the game of the tournament being Brazil v France in the quarter finals.

I forgot mark chamberlain played for England!

Ah! You’re looking at the bigger picture! The penny drops! Sorry, Im afraid I like to compartmentalise my support a little more - we’re in a better position in this division than we have been in previous divisions. Robins also won us a cup and got us quite far in the FA cup this year. What would...

Maybe, it just feels to me like we’ve been consistently in the bottom half of all the divisions we’ve been in.

The first World Cup I have a proper memory of. I think it was jimmy Hill laughing in the background commentary when linekar bagged a hattrick? Hately scored in the same game as John Barnes’ wonder goal?

It’s an improvement on previous years. Suck it up!

However, we are definitely not going down.

Was Hately that good? I only recall him playing for rangers...difficult to tell with Scottish football. I remember Dixon banging them in for Chelsea, alongside nevin and speedie...and Gordon durie? Probably explains why he’s completely disappeared.

Serious question, Who did we have? I always thought he should have won more caps. I seem to remember thinking he should have gone to the ‘86 World Cup. Although the real travesty was when Dion missed out in ‘98.

I see your point but on the other hand...i’m off work all week, the kids are going out and about (who cares where), I’m probably going to take a leisurely stroll for some breakfast in about an hour (or two), then finish reading my book or possibly watch a film. Let’s judge Robins on how he’s...

I’m sure we had those very same expectations in the championship and league 1 at some point and yet, off the top of my head, I can only think of half a season with Eric black, half a season with Micky Adams, half a season with Roland Nilsson (?) and half a season with Tony Mowbray where we have...

And to date, he appears to have been more successful at this than any of his predecessors.

Paul cook did at Pompey.
