Gloucester Saint

Friend of mine (Carlisle) had the misfortune to sit near him at England games and at a qualifier v Croatia Westwood kept making the ambulance 🚑 trumpet sound when one their players was down, annoying the hell out of everyone around him. That and I know a few fellas through work who used to have STs near him at FP and he apparently absolutely stinks of rancid BO. 😷. A significant number of their fans aren’t keen on him. Been arrested and banned for pissing outside of stadiums pre-match including nearby FGR. Literally urinated up the perimeter wall there, was a picture at the time https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/pompey-fans-remain-divided-after-john-westwood-banned-for-second-time-this-season-after-urinating-outside-forest-green-rovers-stadium-3897794 and this random statement https://www.facebook.com/100063868732913/posts/portsmouth-fc-the-news-fan-john-westwood-has-realised-this-statement-on-police-b/947822997356649/ Banned from the Dec 2003 PL fixture after urinating on the seats at the League Cup game. Hence us singing ‘ding dong where’s your bell 🔔 gone?’ . IIRC was banned from England games at SMS too.

If you’ve had the misfortune to meet him, his bonkers views wouldn’t be a surprise. Chip on the shoulder doesn’t even come close. Glad he got a barrage of replies putting him back in his box and reminding him of their cheating over several years, charity-fleecing and Lithuanian pensions robbing in the 00s and early 10s.

I agree it isn’t through the prism of victory but he’s been miles off the level of last season when he broke through and stood out. Has to improve his conditioning because he won’t be dislodging Downes, JWP and Jandar without substantial improvement and getting to last season’s levels.

And has since as per the Fabreze advert ‘gone noseblind’. Would take weeks to get the stale months’ worth of BO out of your nostrils.

Will Smallbone syndrome - poor conditioning and fitness. Seems to be a recurring pattern with our recent academy graduates. Hope today spurs him on to get to the gym and put in the summer work which should have happened but the club doesn’t seem to push younger players to maximise what they can be. Too comfy and easy.

He couldn’t have failed to contribute more than Emmanuel Mayuka.

Who cares, just beat the St John’s ambulance stealing fish shaggers.

You nearly had your wish - Haaland very surprising miss clean through. Scouse fury directed at the referee for second Gravenberg yellow instead. Carra Spit the Dog fuming on commentary.

It’s been like Saints v Pompey of last season. Scrappy needle, but no chances at goal.

Just 4 arrests, all Southampton-affiliated.

Hostile atmosphere, albeit not on an intensity of our game today. City getting it every time they have a spell of possession, fight a few minutes ago on the pitch and some of the banners - the ‘We’re not Here’ with the trophies crossed out and another in the Kop corner saying ‘a generation of supporters cheated’.

Loads of better pubs nearby. Fat Cat & Canary for starters.

Andy Hinchliffe I think it was. Either that or Don Goodman. Neither of them like SFC.

He got emotional with the messages from former team-mates plus the montage, understandably.
