What was that?
What was that?Two games, no goals, no red cards. Pretty boring derby
think he’s the lad who used to play for watford. don’t remember him ever being a fantastic playerAny good?
Nah. Southampton will already have a 500 page dossier constructed by a high priced lawyer saying "Portsmouth fans started it"Will the FA be fining the Southampton player for cupping his ears to the pompy fans
no he isn'tthink he’s the lad who used to play for watford. don’t remember him ever being a fantastic player
Always remembered him just being bog standardno he isn't
I think it’s gonna be a case of others being worse. Tbf to them they’ve ground out a few decent results lately but they ain’t got lots of quality.I can’t see Pompey having the quality to survive, honest hard working side but just not quite good enough
Yeah, really surprised to see Southampton players having another polite request for the opposition to calm down and not behave like that so soon after last month.Southampton’s lawyer rubbing his hands
Blackburn and WBA are in serious trouble. Both out of the bottom 3 by 1 game. 1 point in the last 5 games for WBA and 2 points in the last 5 games for Blackburn. All clubs other than Sheffield Wednesday are picking up more points. Blackburn are only out of the bottom 3 by a GD of 3.I think it’s gonna be a case of others being worse. Tbf to them they’ve ground out a few decent results lately but they ain’t got lots of quality.
Charlton would be my guess of the team to join Oxford and Sheff Wed.
And that's Blackburn in the bottom 3Equalizer
I still don't get how. They've not looked that bad every time I've seen them.And that's Blackburn in the bottom 3
Feels like it. Been a decent game.There’s a late goal in this me thinks
Normally one of two things....or even both. Poor in defence or poor in attack.I still don't get how. They've not looked that bad every time I've seen them.
Said most of the season I thought they were in a false position. I guess we're at that stage of the season where I admit I am probably talking a load of bollocks.
they have a game in hand on leicester, 9 points off would put them levelAnd that's Blackburn in the bottom 3
It isn't "the wealth of their owners" that is moving them forward any more though, is it? It was in their promotion from non-league, League 2 and had a hand in their promotion from League 1, but now in this league, up against clubs with more in their owners' bank accounts,it's a lot down to their TV coverage primarily in the states.To be fair your club over the years have overspent their earnings as much as most clubs at this level but because Steve Gibson isn’t a Hollywood billionaire it seems more acceptable to some
Was it aggravated ?Yeah, really surprised to see Southampton players having another polite request for the opposition to calm down and not behave like that so soon after last month.
It couldn't be an issue relating to them, could it?
Would be a solid addition.

Regarding your mentioning us, yet we've never exceeded FFP have we, despite this? So to say we've "overspent our earnings," like Derby for example, is a bit of a stretch to say the least.
We get bigger attendances and have more "local" fans than Wrexham do which helps, but the fact we're generally better at spotting players, developing them and moving them on for profit than most of the league and also have a top academy over the years we can sell from which is pure profit have much more to do with this. That's more about having a well-run club with a good business model. Wrexham don't have to do this due to their TV coverage. You do know we've made well over 100M from player sales in the last few seasons, with add-ons still coming in too, don't you? Add this on top of the relevant TV money,, sponsorship deals, match-day revenue, merchandise and hospitality income from the Riverside and Rockliffe events and easy to see why FFP isn't a problem for us, even without the parachute money that tips the balance in some clubs' favour, meaning we have to choose managers extremely well and recruit much more carefully, like yourselves.
Besides all this though, we're never described as "plucky underdogs" anyway, unless in relation to the parachute clubs. Wrexham get described with this tag sometimes in relation to the rest of the championship in general, which I think is ridiculous. Obviously our opinions may differ on this.
Unless you're referring to the Boro of about 25-30 years ago in the Prem of course? Even then we were predictably dwarfed by the regular European sides of the league we were in, plus one or two others, like Newcastle fur example.
