Most youngsters won't even remember he played for us. It would be hate by association.

Yes, I was giving you the same one-word response you gave me.

However, I'm not abusive towards Sheaf; I simply think he's injury prone and overrated. Have never called him a "prick" or abused him on here or at a match.

Also, Sheaf has cost us more goals over the years than Collins, when losing the ball on the edge of our area or giving it away. Right from the St Andrew's days.

I'm not a Collins fan or anything, but despite his failings he doesn't deserve the abuse he gets on here and at games. He is one of our own players, after all.

Anyway, it's over for Collins and he'll be gone.

Full time job for Leon Clarke. Has to have a separate wardrobe for his club ties.

Probably had his ties written in as a leaving clause in his contracts. A life long discount at the very least.

I just put the word Sheaf into your posts, you've questioned his leadership, called him crap and lots of constant snide digs at him. That's your way. You might not have called him a prick, but it's only a word and you've implied just as much. Also nicely saw in the Sheaf posts you referring to Dabo as 'fucking useless' so let's save the higher ground for others. As for Sheaf giving it away, so did Grimes yesterday (who I rate highly). All players do, but Collins has nothing for me in the plus column.

You even had a little pop at Wilson with the "super" quotes. He's a golden glove winner (oh yeah it was all the defence). I wouldn't have even signed Collins and think Moore was better. You say it's the end for him, I'm not even certain he won't start Wednesday. I really hope he doesn't.

Haha. OK. Yes, I have called players crap, but that is different from calling them a prick and abusing them. I'm sure you won't see it that way though, which is fair enough.

As for Sheaf, I've questioned his leadership skills because he has none. I've questioned his fitness as he misses too many games, but have never abused him on here or at a game. And I've never "implied" any personal abuse at him.

I support 100% in a ground, even Collins yesterday. I saw first hand what abuse can do to a player after witnessing some of our own fans disgusting behaviour at Pompey.

Again, haven't abused Wilson.

When Billy Bell said 'and last of all, for me the best player to ever play for the club' I was massively confused as Marcus Hall had already come out.

And I thought, "Eh? David Smith has already come out".

Serious question.
If you're a member of The Former Players Association, can you only be a member of one club or can you dart around every Saturday showing up as a Legend for another sides too?

I took my dad to the Mahou lounge for his 80th birthday (home game vs Swansea). John Williams as the FPA guest of honour. He was a lovely, lovely bloke and was very kind to my dad. He admitted that his divided loyalties between Swansea and Cov meant he was hoping for a draw - which I understood.

What I didn’t understand though was that he admitted to still being a Tottenham fan and that he had celebrated their two late goals against us in the League cup the week before.
