He's the only pest on here.

Man Utd 0 West ham 3

Off to the bookies I go

[mockney piers]

I bet the odds are pretty good on that score cowboy!

Still, I'm feeling a little more comfortable about relegation. As quids said many moons ago, I think there are enough worse teams about to save us from the fall.

['bout now]

200/1 on william hills. I have gone for a draw 1-1 at 9's. Amazing what a couple of wins does to my delusional scale.

[Atila Reincarnate]

West Ham are Mancs bogey side, let's hope they get a result tonight. Come you 'ammers.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

88-1 for the 3-0 ?1 on big time me Funny on the ladbrokes web betting they stop at 0-2 for West Ham win at 66-1

Man -utd goes all the way to 8-0 and you only get 80-1 for that.

Maybe they know something

I will be happy if we just score against them..

10th Place here we come

[mockney piers]

My memory tells me it's either a 1-0 or a defeat (usually a thrashing), there is no better nor in between.

Yep, looking back to 97, that's exactly the case.

Atila loves me really. Who else would encourage his psychotic ramblings? I can just see him crying into his pint every night and mumbling incoherently to anyone who will listen about doubles and unbeaten runs and Vinegar face and the tiny little things that cause him irrational rage...like anything that's not Arsenal. You gotta love him.

Oh and before I forget...on the subject of doubles...weren't we the first to ever win one? You can never top that bit of history my old son. :)-D

Along time ago old son, a long time ago. Nothing gives me greater pleasure more than sad persons like yourslef imagining what others do in their spare time, I guess you have to do so as you have no life of your own. As for psychotic, I'd take a long hard look at yourself sonny Jim before casting stones. You spuds are a funny breed. Now if you don't mine let's move own, you've laboured the point long eonough. As for sour grapes, how bitter are you with Sol Campbell. Fcuking hell, move on son, move on. Change the record.

[jimmy two times]

Bitter with Sol Campbell? You're right there pal. A pint of bitter all over his head when I meet him for a drink.

[david_carnell]

As a Leeds fan I'd quite like to meet Cantona too. First I'd ask whether he really did give Lesley Ash one and then I'd kick in the nads for defecting to United.

In all seriousness there are probably two or three that would be a tough call to seperate:

Paul Reaney - The most under appreciated player of the Revie era and 3rd in the all time list of appearances. A true gent.

David Batty - a Leeds man thru and thru who won a league championship and returned after a sojourn to help guide us to the Euro Cup semis.

Lucas Radebe - A giant of the game in all senses of the word and a hero on the pitch.

[mockney piers]

I'm not sure there are any players I'm that fussed about meeting.

Haev been to a couple of book signings, but only because they were gimmes for a good crimbo present for my brother.

Geoff hurst looked thoroughly bored, Paolo Di Canio was a true gent, had time for everyone and even shook me by the hand after a bit of banter.

His politics are somewhat dubious mind....

Yawn....move on.

[jimmy two times]

The player I would love to meet, isn't someone who ever played for my club. It would be Johann Cruyff. He was my favourite ever footballer and was a key figure in the creation of Total Football. He was also a great manager. I have read interviews with him and he has so many interesting and astute observations on football.

A bit like Atila B)

[ratty]

Would have loved to have met Alan Ball! RIP!

[Sandperson]

Pompey have until friday, fingers crossed Ratty!

[ratty]

No Point - we're gone. Chanrai is a crook, Azougy is a debt collector for the russian mob and there are NO interested parties in purchase of club. Chanrai has made himself top creditor for administration and assets do not even come near liabilities. You are watching the death of a football club with 112 years of history, and it is almost entirely down to four men, one of whom has bankrupted 4 football clubs now.

Biggest crook of all though - Arkadi Gaydamak

[matthew123]

Has any Club in same or worse predicament been saved ... as I cannot recall any Club (with the exception of perhaps Aldershot who were in the 4th tier) to be booted out of league mid-season. I always expect a Club to quickly reincarnate itself as new company but retain it's league status... we touched on this last week but the consequences of Pompey having their results removed from League would be more costly than propping the Club up til at least end of season.

Even if they do fold in the sense they are wound up and the stadium is bulldozed I have no doubt the supporters would quickly reform and shoot back up into the Football League as appears to be the case with AFC Wimbledon (although under different motives).

Well, you got the right scoreline.....:))

[????]

No points was my predicter score... we'll still be 12 with 42 points!

[ratty]

Just had this mail...

Got it from a source from here xxxxxx.

The whole lot of them are all linked up apart from Al Fahim.

Israeli loan sharks basically own the Club. They're presently stripping us bare. Players pre sold Wilson, Prince-Boatengand Belhadj. Sky money for next year taken out in advance loans.

The SA were VERY genuine in their bid problem was there's no assets left to sale. They twigged that before being shafted and walked. The source had a copy of their final email to the Club - VERY unpleasant reading.

Bye Bye Pompey, Pompey Bye Bye

The only person on here who has anything of note to say is obviously yourself, while you obsession with me is touching, you are becoming somewhat tiresome, not unlike the "club" you support. Now run along and play nicley with the traffic, preferably on the fast lane of the M1, there's a good boy.

[Narnia]

JTT, you are an expert on being 'tiresome'. Where did you learn how to do that?
