They can't handle the truth...

Wotte has been smelling the coffee and it has suddenly dawned on him that if Molyneux had been any good, Moyes would not have let him go. Very much in the mould of the scouse rejects who seemed to be a permanent feature of our line ups in recent seasons. Rudi Skacel is a Czech international for FFFFFF's sake and he has to beg for his place in our crappy team? What is that all about????? Wotte Out! Rudi, Rudi, Rudi.. IN!

The sacking of Tony Adams is a tragedy for Portsmouth Football Club and the end of premiership soccer on the South Coast. They are now certainties for the drop. The effect on player morale of two managerial changes in one season will be devastating. It is extremely unlikely they can recover in time to avoid the drop and with their huge debts they will have to offload like hell to balance the books - in fact, another Saints story BUT without the debt of a new stadium financed by credit. All of you must have wondered why a City the size of Bristol (750,000) cannot support a Premiership team and the answer is of course that their is no deep lying tradition for soccer in that City and so not enough support and committment to drive a team into the Premiership. If you don't agree, conside Hull City, a tiny connurbation by comparison with Bristol but a huge committment from the community and their local authority. The Solent area is too prosperous and middle class to really support soccer in the grass roots fashion of 'working class' North Western clubs. With the demise of Pompey our last chance of hanging on in there has gone and it won't come back because nobody in the end except the core fanataics like us - all 13000 of us - gives a damn!

The questioner assumes there will be one, one day. Hard to imagine at the moment

As a very long suffering Saints supporter since my very first match in 1948 as a kiddy-wink, I can say from all my watching over the many ensuing decades that this season has seen some of the most inept displays ever by a group of players wearing our Red & White Stripes. Honestly, I cannot recall anything worse. We always had a local star to lift us but no longer it seems. Le Tiss may well have been the last of them.

He was there last night

No, never if Lowe and Wilde still have any interests or control at the club. Even without them it'll be a very hard call to spend Saturday afternoons watching Huddersfield and Lincoln and Bury... I don't even know where these places are. The ultimate bloody nightmare, Pompey get relegated and we won't be there to greet them!

This was the biggest load of sh*te it has ever been my misfortune to watch. Wotte is just as big a t*sser as Poortvliet when it comes to knowing anything about English football. 'Hit & Hope' long balls up the channels, what the f*** is that all about. Suddenly we have gone from total football to TOTAL CRAP. Is it too late to get rid of Wotte? We've no chance of staying up so we might as well prepare for next year with a totally new system and set-up. I ain't watching any more of this b*ll***s...

Not much point in playing to a crowd of 5000. Many fans live as far away as Andover, Poole and Worthing not to mention the Blades supporters, who will certainly not want to stay overnight in local hotels at exorbitant cost. The weather at SMS is not the issue. I think this is a no brainer, the boy's in blue won't want to stand out in this weather either so a good excuse is 'Elf & Safety with "high risk of road accidents." Of course, Saints will get fined by the FL if they just call it off so ergo get some other organisation to do their dirty work for them, then they can all stand on the moral high ground. PS As I write at 10.49 it is snowing again in the New Forest so it looks doomed anyway.

On or not, it's gonna be EFFFFing freezing up there tomorrow with all that steel and concrete sucking the heat out of everyone and everything. Most definitely I will not be getting my cajones frozen solid just to watch another Saints sh*t-or-bust effort of the "quality" they served up on Saturday. If you lads have any sense you'll give it a miss as well.

What he calls ridiculously low offers might have been their actual market price based on the sort of crappy performances they have been turning in for Saints of late. Can you imagine any of our clueless lot surviving in a premiership team? I thought not. Sorry Wotte but you can't talk it up for Rupert like this. Let's face it he needed the dosh desperately and now he's missed the opportunity so when does the man in the bowler hat come calling?

I loved the bit where he bit back at the Swansea bench in the second half after his sliding crunching tackle was being criticised by their coaches who gave him the evil eye.

EFF! Missed it. Anybody putting it on You Tube?

I actually went to a match yesterday even 'though Lowe is still at the helm but this was more to do with being part of the protest March than football. The football was unbelievably dire compared with where we started out last August, what have we become? Swansea were excellent. bossed the park and played it around in a way that was always promised by Poortvliet but never actually achieved. I thought we were second best all over and were lucky to salvage even a point courtesy of one superb Surman spot and an equally superb piece of opportunism from Saga. Moments like that get a result that flatters to deceive, because there was nothing else in this Saints performance that gave any cause for optimism that we can escape relegation. We are a shambles and the only light at the end of the tunnel seems to be that we have Svensson on the coaching staff to stiffen up our rearguard, maybe too early yesterday - another two goals against - but at least the back four and Wotton looked terrified to leave their positions for long less they got a rollicking from the new ginger fixer. At least I haven't missed much by staying away Rupert...

I think it is odd's on that Swansea will beat us 5-0. They scored 3 & 4 in their last two games. I hope we do get thrashed because it will bring everything to a head along with this March.

Tony Husband has just publicised the Long March on the 1.00 news so should be a few more joining.

Why didn't the filter work, mods?

The PRESS of course, who else. It'll have bugger-all impact on Lowe or Wilde

Don't believe anything you read in the papers. Everything they do is designed to sell more copy. One brain-dead, spineless moron sends an anonymous e-mail to a sister paper in Jersey and it's worthy of headlines in the Echo? Do me a favour!

Dave Merrington got on my tits tonight, why does he have to make the same point one hundred times? Dave, if you're talking crap the first time it is still crap after one hundred times. Just shut up if you have nothing worthwhile to contribute and get a proper job. It's bad enough having to endure the commentary of the dross served up by Saints without having the overlay of dross served up by you.

Leon is too naive and it came across in spades in his interview. Short-term fixes will no more solve Saints problems than the national economy.

Usual load of garbage and a very lucky escape. Now it's pick any 11 from 20 time, b*gg*r having a plan or a best eleven. Relegation will be a blessed relief on this showing.

Wotte a load of old poppies! Poppies are a symbol of the fallen. The manager of The Poppies is the last thing we need. Where do these ideas come from, Kettering? Perhaps they just want rid of him and think SFC are the only people around gullible enough to swallow their bait.

van Nistleroy coming soon?

I am certain that Crouch would have been called in by Wilde to ask him to facilitate the return of Big Mac as Football Chief whilst Lowe concentrates on the business. ONe suspects that Wilde is at hear t a fan and has watched the dismal sage of Portvliet in exactly the same way as the rest of us. If as we do, he attributes Poortvliet's appointment and methods as being entirely a whim of Lowe than as far as Wilde is concerned his faith in Lowe as a football guru will be finished for good and he'll want as much distance as possible between the dressing room and Lowe. Big Mac is probably as far as Wilde can see for now so politically must be the best short-term, no cost option, provided Big Mac will swallow his Big Mac Ego and come back. Compromises all round is a good old British solution to a crises when the unthinkable becomes suddenly the most acceptable option in focus. Ah! politics!
