Life outside the Premiership

[Alan Medic]

Oh. I was wondering what you were sobbing about. As United were already out of the cup I wonder why it took you so long to catch up?

[Jah Lush]

Goal magazine! I used to read that from cover to cover when I was a boy. Loved it. Happy memories.

@Alan Medic - I think the moral of the story is - share and share alike.

So porn baron Sullivan finally admits the relegation-get-out clause in Demba Ba's contract was HIS catastrophic mistake and throws mud at Scott Parker in an effort to deflect criticism. What a class act.

Take it you're referring to his interview in West Ham Till I Die

There are things I do not like at all about Sullivan but I think this makes very interesting reading.

Yes that - but also this from Monday's Guardian -

"This might not please many people but look at Scott Parker's performance in the first five games of this season. To me it didn't look like he was doing the tackling you'd normally expect him to do," said Sullivan. "He was running about, he was doing OK but he wasn't doing the tackling we know he can do because he knew that the one thing that would stop a move for him would be an injury."

Easy. (seriously).

*sings* "Ten men! We've only got ten men! We've only got-" *Vaz Te goes down injured* "Nine men! We've only got nine men!"

memo to Sam - ask if we can play every game with ten men and a rush goalie.

[zephyr]

Credit where credit is due... un...flippin' believable. Have to admit that West Ham look like they are playing like champions

Strange goings on indeed. Would like to hear Ollie's immediate reaction.

Happy with our result at Barnsley.

Here it is - tbh the Tangerines seemed to panic when Greene was sent off, as though they HAD to score now and better be bloody quick about it. Ollie was about right...

"It was pretty horrendous from our point of view. Only one team turned up. In every single way they were better than us.

"They were more professional than us, they played it in the right way on a difficult surface and we just made mistake after mistake after mistake.

"Just about everything that could go wrong did. I felt my lot were caught in the emotion of it. They were not professional, they did not get it right and we were beaten by a better team."

[El Pibe]

Moncur and Potts, have I gone through a time warp here? Please tell me there isn't a young Abou in the wings!

[maxxi]

A-Boooooooooooooooooooo!

[????]

:))

[????]

Aboooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo's aside, that was a massive result. the " new boys did well and got goals. Birmingham look in form but a thinner squad than us, Southamptone need to sort their away form. Feeling optimistic right now.

Playing better without Nolan?

Playing better without Carew and also (to lesser extent) Baldock (he needs time maybe to develop a bit more)

Yes it's early days for Vaz Te and Maynard but they are exciting up front. The team (particularly Faubert and Tomkins) have got some confidence from the new arrivals that Piquionne and Cole didn't always instill. Taylor doing a good job too - got real depth now.

Just got details of tonight's meeting with our administrator.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Something quite special going on around Pompey at the moment. In an effort to pack the ground tomorrow, support the lads and get some revenue into the club, people are buying tickets for those that cannot afford to go. I have been offered 4 already from mates back home! Sadly I have the kids tomorrow as it's the wife's birthday and even though I will be in the mother land I will not be able to go.

This is what being a footy fan is all about however!

Hope there are still enough players to form a team after having to let top scorer Huseklepp got to B'ham on loan for financial reasons.

Good news for the Irons is that Green's red card was overturned so he'll be in team for tomorrow's lunchtime k.o. v the Eagles.

[????]

Irons sold out for lunchtime kick off that's on the box - back where we belong soon.

Absoultely gutted for Pompey - can't have proper clubs going to the wall whilst the Milton Keynes franchise survives

[ratty]

We'll rise again in the conference!!!

[zephyr]

It is a sad state of affairs. Rivalry aside, I wouldn't want to see any club go out of business. When Saints were in administration it was dire and we were 2 days away from liquidation following an unsuccessful bid and people pissing around. No one saw our saviour Marcus Liebherr coming. He had to pay a significant amount of money as there was a 24 million pound debt on the stadium. So.... it is possible to get out off this and I think it is a good decision by the administrator that he will find a buyer rather than Channrai finding one.

That said.... down you go......

Hi all, Leeds fan here!

Are any of you into your betting? We have just started posting on a forum called Bet Share and there are some pretty decent bets being discussed for todays football.

I think Birmingham has to be a banker today.

Thought you might be interested.

It should be but as a Blues fan I am too superstitious to bet on our mathces. Especially on our current unbeaten run.

I've goe for Newcastle/Swindon/Notts Co/Burnley paying slightly under 8/1.

[maxxi]

Good away result, Nolan in top form, George McCartney the new Giggsy (loved Pearce's "McCartney's long and winding goal" pun - buy Aaron Lennon now Sam and give headline writers a break). :)-D
