  1. i suspect Sully
  2. If Jack gets interviewed after being taken off ! Imagine his answer to one of the smaller reporters 'why you asking you little @@@@'
  3. That's it click on the bit that suits your argument lol. How about the last week?, yes we are back to about where we were when Labour came to power. Lets hope all will be good for the pound, it helps us all and the greater economy.
  4. That may be a rather good point. So far she has frightened the electorate spreading stories that we are going to have a terrible time. 22bn blackhole, but Im not going to tell you where I got those figures. Factory orders down as people are sitting on their hands, people not investing as they are unsure what the tax implications are going to be. I truly hope she does know what she is doing, as I want our nation to succeed and all have a decent time, but if she gets it wrong we are in for a long struggle. Ive seen too many recessions and dont wish to see another.
  5. I saw that the pound was down on the dollar, yes it was up this year but that was more with the confidence of the last chancellor,(not that is much to go on). The dollar is stronger against the pound this week and up more if you go back weeks. 'wee bit' still adds its costs to our economy
  6. Where did I say not give people a wage rise?? If you believe 20% plus wage rises do not effect us all then you are a bit foolish. The doors have been opened and we will see if we can see modest wage rises or people believing if they get it why not us. Do you also not realise that wage inflation comes around and bite us with the prices passed on to the man in the street. So everyones disposable income is squeezed. Its like going back to Harold Wilson and his bunch
  7. So you think I didnt criticise the last gov?? lol. Yes im more right leaning but not to any barmy politics. You seem to be able to forgive anything that your preferred party is serving up. So far they have given pay rises that will feed other workers to expect, all these costs go on to the final price. The doctors bill will also extra add ons eg NI and bulked up pensions, all coming out of the NHS budget. So they fill a hole (apparently 22BN) with one shovel while at the same digging the hole out at the same time. I have just read that Rayner and co have balsed up a 1bn investment by P&O as they called them unscrupulous and exploitative before an important meeting. It just shows how foolish these are when it comes to business and basic diplomacy. Potentially this will cost jobs, all of us will feel the pain and as always the poorest will be the ones who really hurt. All from a party who say they care for those people. We hold our breath until the Budget, it is sad to see the pound at its lowest to the dollar for a long time, something that again costs us as consumers as all our energy is paid for in dollars. Im not some kind of financial whizzkid but I do know we are heading for a very tough time and your heroes are adding to it
  8. Just spoke to my Brighton fan mate and he said Potter played exciting football getting them top 8. Their main problem was having someone to put the ball in the net,
  9. I suggest Wolves have a better case for removing their manager more than us. Our squad is weak and I doubt a decent manager looking in from afar will be remotely interested in risking their reputation with the fare on offer. We seem to be relying on an 18 year old kid to save the clubs season, it is madness. IMO we should have used the Ramsdale money to buy a top grade forward, as much as I like him, he hasnt shored up the defence and has let in loads (not his fault)
  10. Problem is that when if it was a Tory you'd be all over and talking corruption etc, but as its your preferred politics its a case it doesn't matter. Getting tickets and preferential treatment when you are in power is done not because they like the individual its in the hope what influence or what they may get back in return. Do you really believe that the man who gave Starmers thousands of pounds worth of gifts would have done so ,if there wasnt a hope of a return in the future? They are all at the trough whatever the colour.
  11. Shame I haven't the image of the un-ironed sheet that was laid on the table for that Pompey fans event
  12. Thts intentionally designed so tat their fans leave the stadium quicker when they are losing
  13. I can understand the fans being unhappy, but surely you all must have known we were going to have a poor season with the squad we have? I was very sceptical from the first games of the season but still enjoyed the 25 game unbeaten run. I really only got more on board with RM right at the end of the season when he changed and seemed to be more pragmatic. He went a bit against his football ideology and mixed it u a bit, that encouraged me a tad. It does seem to me that the fans crave the fix of a new manager every 10 games or so, one minute they are eating out of his hands and lapping him up the next acting like a woman scorned! Id love to have the time to read back from all the naysayers posts after Wembley, not a peep then of course.
  14. So they would walk into all the other PL teams in your opinion I assume?
  15. Nail on head. Thankfully the load of spoilt kids we have on here at times is not a fair reflection of our fanbase. Most fans I believe realise that we dot have a top level squad and realistic to know it is going to be a hard season. I read last season how the brains on here were saying that Flynn and THB were destined for greatness, well the harsh truth is that they are both lower PL players at best. They both may get better but we need Flynn to start winning midfield battles. RM is adapting and I was pleased he has pulled TP out from the cold and now will gain confidence to play him more. Although many think TP is no good, but I have faith in him to prove fans wrong
  16. Being in the PL for most clubs fans is vanity only. The BBC podcasts only talk about 3 or 4 teams and then sometimes add Villa and Spurs. Sky only feature us if we are one of the live games, but even then we are just the mug being putting into the ring to fight the world champion. As for MoTD we usually are last and we get little talk, but the bias from all the pundits if we happen to win is always the other team played badly. Playing in the Championship as long as you have a decent team (we all know that would only last a few years) is far more enjoyable, no var as well
  17. as much as it galls you Puel also provided some brlliant times
  18. I think the TV director on Sky must be a Pompey fan as he panned onto them and the panel were saying how wonderful they were, not mentioning tht most had left. Merson obviously lauding them .
  19. He didnt at Sunderland if my memory serves me right.
  20. Exactly, he said something like I had forwards on the bench as we needed goals, well bloody play one or 2 of them ffs.
  21. I slowly warmed to him, but had my doubts I think the euphoria of Wembley was the main factor. I called his football kaleidoscope , pretty patterns but for no real use. In the semi final of the ply offs he gave me hope that he would be pragmatic and non play his rigid system. It annoys me how he has ABK and Tall Paul and doesn't even try and utilise them, all because his footballing thoughts are against aerial attacks. I have argued in his favour the last few weeks as it really is too soon, but the brain fart team selection last night was alarming. To blame the players not trying and not tackling, christ Oliver was likely to book one of ours for any excuse, therefore we could easily have gone down to 10 if we had. Interesting all the players interviews I heard was them saying the same thing, dont blame the manager and we lacked fight. Were they told to say that
  22. I dont know how that can be brought against him, as he was clearly stating facts, the countries gone to the dogs
  23. I didnt know we had Roy Keane on here
  24. But at that stage they were dire, much like us after the first goal we may have gained confidence and they may have dropped their game. I doubt a Ten Haag team talk would have pepped them up lol
  25. I do wonder if the penalty scored against Man U and the last second goal against Ipswich would have made a whole lot of difference. Image had we 6 points before last night how different the whole night would have been. Such small margins
