    Pompey Match Thread

    Relax a little folks. Our home form is poor still - but 10 games ago we may well have settled for a point at home to the then performing Pompey...& their run had to end sooner or later. That being said the manner we drop points in the last 5-10 mins is annoying ("job done" attitude?)

    Tottenham Fans Stabbed

    All I am saying is that most of us would agree with what you say about them being a nasty bunch & "operational" in that area. So common sense says stay away & at the very least keep a very low profile. Sadly - not going I's the safer option. Either way it doesn't excuse the beating. As far...

    Tottenham Fans Stabbed

    They'll probably get off scot-free Lazio will...this was not an in-stadium happening like the Serbian thing. It'll probably be ignored by UEFA

    Tottenham Fans Stabbed

    Hey...hang-on! I detest what happened. What I'm getting at is the "typical Italians" & "cowards" type generalisations. That's likely to simply inflame things for future teams going there. The vast majority of Brits going abroad are at least reasonably well behaved, just the mindless...

    Tottenham Fans Stabbed

    The first thing is that things anything like this should not happen to anyone - let alone someone simply travelling to watch a footy match. Second, tarring all Italians as thugs &/or cowards is somewhat extreme...I know some Italians who are neither, & believe me - you wouldn't want to upset...

    what if...

    Better make sure we beat ten then! My guess would be that half the fans that pledged were Saints fans trying to stick them up good & proper...so they're never going to cough up the money to buy anyhow. It's all very sad really.

    Carlos Tevez Pay Slip Leaked

    Well good on him! He's paid more tax than Starbuck's & the MPs combined!

    Call to arms

    No they're labelled as the "skates" (navy reference i.e an insult to them). Soton are "scummers" labelled so after breaking a dockyard strike way back when.

    COLCHESTER MATCH THREAD - let's go

    Been out at work meeting all night, so not had chance to say it but yeeee-haarrrr!!! THAT is a great result - & 8-1 positiv return on goal difference in 2 consecutive away games is very encouraging. That's won 4 from 5 of my projected 10...only 2 more wins needed to hit my minimum target to be...

    Beckham anyone?

    It is a serious QUESTION, not speculation...& to all those ridiculing the question...you might be right - but I think the idea of Edgar Davids playing for Barnet would be ridiculous too wouldn't it?

    Beckham anyone?

    That is stated...but an English league ownership involvement has not been specifically dismissed as far as I know. Getting CCFC back in the Premiership is a challenge (which he IS stated as seeking)...& there would be some serious earnings in that...& where there's money there's the Beckham's

    Beckham anyone?

    Well yes...it a serious thread with a question mark at the end.

    Beckham anyone?

    Leaving Galaxy & looking for ownership involvement...could he still do a job on the pitch in L1 too?

    Where will we finish???

    Stop thinking the Hartlepool result is any good

    This is it...& Walsall after that - they are on the slide too. A few weeks ago I gave my opinion that 6-7 wins in the next 10 L1 games was possible (not expecting the Scuni result - but thought Pompey at the time would be a much tougher one than it looks now)...& we have 3 wins in 4 so far so...

    play off Form?

    And IMO is a good solid start to the Robins era...ship I's steadying on & possibly off the field, financially speaking. The latter will take longer to come to fruition than on-pitch matters I think though...so much more complicated

    Stop thinking the Hartlepool result is any good

    Now we're beginning to agree. The right history I's the one we choose to look at. IMO we can only fairly judge the team under Robins by looking at the results in the Robins era. Whilst performances are not that convincing, results seem to be at the level we need...& if we can improve performance...

    Stop thinking the Hartlepool result is any good

    So by implication you could be suggesting those that differ in opinion & outlook are:not realistic; looking at the wrong history; irrational; unpragmatic; not listening to the right people (based on your words) which is indeed setting yourself up against others. What I do agree with is that...

    Stop thinking the Hartlepool result is any good

    Well said that man - I haven't made or seen a single post from us positive heads that says anything is in the bag. What we are suggesting is that if we keep the good form,since Robins took over, going - we will be there or thereabouts.

    Stop thinking the Hartlepool result is any good

    Ahhh - now before I read on...at least one response I's likely to insinuate that you are a hopeless romantic, ridiculous optimist or indeed simply insane. Whilst they are realistic & all-knowing. We could try to simply ignore ten & carry on happily in our unreal but happy world...& just enjoy...
