When my eldest first started school in NY 10 years ago, I was introduced to "the other British dad" in the class. Took about 60 secs to work out we were saints and Pompey fans. He turned out to be a very nice guy - his dads from Portsmouth by he never lived in UK until Uni as his Dads job had them living all over the world. As such I think it's a sign of character he stuck with his dads team rather than opt out and support a glamor team instead.
He was even pleased for me when we won the playoff vs Leeds. I, however, could not be the bigger man and have any joy for any Pompey success. |

Still trying to get into it with the watford manager, no idea what caused that.
Bazunu is garbage. Can we recall Ramsdale?! |

Sad thing is it just shows how poor SR have been. They recruited him and Jones. They also took too long to realize they were out of their depth at PL level.
I'm bullish on Still but it's versus a very, very low bar |

Post match should be fun. He likes to go with "players focused on self preservation" usually. Or we were unlucky and should have been braver with the ball. |

Not sure why we're persisting with 3 at the back now stoke down to 10 men |

Armstrong just needs to get off the mark today and he should score freely again this season. If we can get 10 - 15 games out of Stewart (big if) he'll chip in 8 plus too. |

Our full backs aren't great at defending so maybe until bree is fit he thinks this is the best way to grind out a result. THB and Quarshie first touch was terrible constantly putting themselves under pressure - hopefully they can fix that in training. |

Reply | Racist Liverpool fan abuses Semenyo

If the FA/EPL really cared they'd dock Liverpool points - this would stop it pretty quickly. If the police/courts cared they'd make a massive example of this individual. The combination of points deductions and meaningful legal repercussions would make clubs ensure no away fans get into home ends (ie trying to get a rival team a points deduction - plus solve a sore point that has existed for years) and it would deter any morons from doing it.
Seems pretty simple but all comes down to whether they really care about it that much or not. More likely they (teams and EPL) are more worried they might not make as much money if they make it restrictive/come down on a top team with huge global following. |

I think you're 100% spot on Semmens was in the proverbial "turkey voting for Xmas" spot. I think he was hoping to be kept on but probably knew he was punching well above his weight and would be cast aside. His salary was about GBP 1 mn, so every month he dragged it out he made another 83 grand. |

At the risk of being absolutely eviscerated for suggesting it (and maybe 25 years out of the country has left me soft) but won't two games vs Pompey next year be something that will get the team and supporters reengaged after a miserable season this year? |

It's amazing how we've got to this state. Appointing Jones, spending $40mn on Sulemana and Tall Paul was the start of a comedy of amateurish ownership errors. We'll sell dibbling and anyone else we can this Jan as they try and recoup what cash they can then I fear we'll be stripped and put up for sale. Well then have another charlatan wannabe ownership group try to apply their second tier MBAs and hubris into "outsmarting" everyone else. Don't see the fun times under Poch and Koeman ever returning... |

ABK will be back in contention. Stephens clearly sucked up to RM and was the mole that ratted out anyone that spoke out against the philosophy of turning saints into man city through possession within the 18 yard box. Can't see him having a future with us now. He has made a fortune from being a mediocre football player, fair play to him for playing the (financial side of the) game so well. |

Reply | Ramsdale & KWP back against Fulham
at 17:06 22 Dec 2024
That game sums up how poor Russell Martin was and how the squad carried us through the playoffs not the tactics. Fulham are a good side and by not messing around at the back and in the middle of the park we kept a clean sheet. We have to accept what we are and that's a bottom 5 or 6 squad and play to the strengths we have to grind out results like today. If we get a couple more results over the Xmas period and play to we have rather than a pie in the sky philosophy we might make a fist of it |

Ever notice that where wee man goes his nemesis Eddie Howe follows? Clearly a crack pot idea but would be amusing if Newcastle wanted someone like potter but didn't want to have to pay Howe out and now we offer them an elegant solution and Wee man goes straight to training with the U16s... |

I'll go for something along the lines of " the players have obviously made a decision the way they played that first half". And "playing my way got us promoted, it's madness they wanted to abandon that". And " I have a contract I intend to see it out or be paid out" |

It was THB trying to tap is sideways to wood rather move I into the acres off space to his right that was the mistake. That is due to the manager insisting on stupid tippy tappy at the back. Nice of him to throw his third string keeper under the bus though rather than admit he's a total busted flush |
