All joking aside, I don't care if it's a football forum or not, I like taking the piss out of people who can't write properly and by extension probably can't speak properly.

Frees Peach and all that

Edit: Even then if only when people say 'of' instead of 'have' really winds me up for some reason.

If we do sign Chaplin, the amount of talk about him in the thread makes me fear he'll be put up on a peddle stool.

It will eventually become accepted as an alternative and then as a standard. And I'll be a whinging old git shouting at clouds by then.

It’s the their, there, they’re one which winds me up. Every school in the land teaches how to write these correctly. It’s not that difficult!

Anyway, what was this thread about again?

Jackett is turning his attention to Portsmouth fans. Most of them think Chaplin is one of their own and has been treated badly by the football club. If the manager can establish that 1) he wants to leave 2) the club are not going to weaken their squad st the expense of a rival and thus want to replace before selling to another L1 club then he is likely to buy himself some time from a Pompey fan base that may otherwise be hard to please.

He’s prepared to not sell an asset and call out a player for a bad attitude (when it seems to me that Chaplin has exhibited quite a good attitude throughout tbh). He’s also hoping that chaplin might Come to appreciate that his chances at Pompey might be as good as with another club who have just signed a new striker from a Prem club.

It might look odd from our perspective but his manner does seem understandable from the POV of his own job security.

He sounds like he's grasping at straws to me. Looks like he's alienated himself from the player and now from the fans by not being fair with him. Still have a sneaking suspicion that we'll sign him.

Isnt that just a clickbait version of what was discussed on here yesterday about the manager's comments but with a misleading headline?

The situation is still the same. The only difference is KJ has said he can leave.

Until they get a replacement though, he's going nowhere. No real difference in the situation.

I guess they might agree a fee and let us speak to him whilst they try and get a replacement.

Apparently all terms were agreed before with him and his agent until Pompey started moving the goalposts.

Sounds like they tried a last minute gazumping thinking we'd be desperate
Robins seems to have called their bluff
Suspect the 10 shirt is being held for Chaplin - all part of showing a main target they are in first 11

The one thing that leaps out at me from this post is the missing capitalisation of Chaplin's name, so you capitalised the next 'C' that came along.
