rallyboy Posted 22 September, 2015 Posted 22 September, 2015 If you are feeling low there are now three things that will always make you smile. The statue of Ted, Penny going off the top board and that 'corner'.

The9 Posted 22 September, 2015 Posted 22 September, 2015 I have a set-piece which also deserves a wider audience, from Dag/Red v Newport. Not sure if I can get a link that works at work...
The Cat Posted 22 September, 2015 Posted 22 September, 2015 The thing is, as Saints fans we have never had to watch football that sh!t. Not as Saints fans, but plenty of us go to non league games as well. And while some games can be dire there's still plenty of decent football at all levels. Although I can't remember ever seeing a corner that bad - even in the Wessex League.
The Cat Posted 22 September, 2015 Posted 22 September, 2015 The only thing I took from this utterly worthwhile video is that Allen's either been away or slapping on the fake tan. People may look in the background and wonder why no one appears to work at the News, but the truth is they were all down Southsea with the other 250k fans watching an open top bus parade to mark Conor Chaplin's new contract. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-video-neil-allen-on-conor-chaplin-s-new-contract-1-6970238

Dark Munster Posted 22 September, 2015 Posted 22 September, 2015 How would they ever afford the electricity bill? Well as we all know, not affording things has never been a problem for the DCFSBs.
suewhistle Posted 23 September, 2015 Posted 23 September, 2015 nothing screams league 2 more than this piece of skill Thank you sir for a great laugh! All those bodies running backwards and forwards in the box too, all to no avail. If they want a more reliable corner taker I can recommend Laura from my team.:-)

Mr Biscuits Posted 25 September, 2015 Posted 25 September, 2015 Soon to be found in the bargain bin at a fraction of the original price Why does that sound familiar?

'Priced at £16.99, it will be available from a host of newsagents across the area.' #tinpotmostest
rallyboy Posted 25 September, 2015 Posted 25 September, 2015 If you can wait for two CVAs, that £16.99 will come down to three pence, which you can spread over five years. It's the pompey way.
buctootim Posted 25 September, 2015 Posted 25 September, 2015 Would be more apposite to buy it from a charity shop. Used, tatty, cheap and not well looked after by multiple previous owners.

Pedro Posted 25 September, 2015 Posted 25 September, 2015 Don't TCWTB own a bookshop, he'll can sell 250,000 copies on promotion day easily.

My gran's sitting in a chair looking out of a window in South Wales. She was a table tennis champion in her day, but might even struggle to match that set-piece now. By the way, if anyone is interesting in buying some worthless* Newport County Supporters' Trust funds or just making a donation: http://www.ncafctrust.org/index.php *worthless in the sense that the rules are documented for Newport in this highly transparent document here: http://www.ncafctrust.org/downloads/Model_Rules.pdf" Edited 25 September, 2015 by The9

Danbert Posted 25 September, 2015 Posted 25 September, 2015 Daringly, they've set a date. Expect the new dawn that is Championship-standard illumination next Tuesday.

alehouseboys Posted 26 September, 2015 Posted 26 September, 2015 . That's strange, why are they celebrating in front of the Wigan fans? The away bit is obviously the other end
Waterside.saint Posted 26 September, 2015 Posted 26 September, 2015 Daringly, they've set a date. Expect the new dawn that is Championship-standard illumination next Tuesday. Let's hope they have a decent stack of 10p pieces for the meter, those low tech floodlights really burn the juice

Jonnyboy Posted 26 September, 2015 Posted 26 September, 2015 Seems like the 7 year car crash has finally slid to a halt. I guess we'll have an idea at Xmas if anyone has emerged from the wreck...
Ohio Saint Posted 26 September, 2015 Posted 26 September, 2015 Congrats to the skates for going top!!! Of course, I hope it all goes booblies up for them, but congrats all the same. Fair play and all that.
Crab Lungs Posted 26 September, 2015 Posted 26 September, 2015 wtf is wrong with Paul Cook's voice? :uhoh::uhoh:
norwaysaint Posted 26 September, 2015 Posted 26 September, 2015 Amazing turnaround for them to go top. Nice for them to get something to cheer about again. Looks like they're in for an exciting season.

Mr Biscuits Posted 26 September, 2015 Posted 26 September, 2015 Official Pompey twitter account in selective memory shocker. And there was me under the impression that they had disowned their grubby recent past.... Wtf is it with this 'we played AC Milan' guff? You played a team in the Champions League. Big deal. We play Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal etc every season and they are in the Champions League too Not only that, apparently their draw against AC Milan is their greatest achievement.... Really..... Do you honestly want me to believe that your greatest achievement is. DRAW?

We still were the best team in england 2 years in a row

Crazy Diamond Posted 27 September, 2015 Posted 27 September, 2015 Yes that selective memory is amazing. - How much of the taxpayer's money was lost? - How many administrations were there? - How many crooked owners were there? - How many of the bestest were at Wigan that day? Don't suppose they'll recall those...

NB Saints have played in European football in the past month, Milan haven't qualified for European football since the end of the 2012/13 season.

Mr Biscuits Posted 28 September, 2015 Posted 28 September, 2015 Greatest achievement is back to back div1 league titles. Yes years ago but it it what it is. We still were the best team in england 2 years in a row Now I wonder why you have popped up all of a suddenly.

We still were the best team in england 2 years in a row Fair play, and of course you also added another record soon after, Portsmouth went down to the Third Division in 1961 (the first former English League championsto do so)
Mr Biscuits Posted 28 September, 2015 Posted 28 September, 2015 Greatest achievement is back to back div1 league titles. Yes years ago but it it what it is. We still were the best team in england 2 years in a row Bully for you. Come back when you've done it more times than Huddersfield Town. Also.... You say that managing to defend the title once is your greatest achievement. That was in the '40's. Therefore it follows that youve not done much since.in fact.... In the SIXTY FIVE YEARS since all the Skates have managed is to buy the FA cup on tick and get found out for doing so. Other than that it's just been a general meander downhill. Usually I don't go trawling for FACTS since I don't think it makes for a very good argument however..... I honestly didn't realise that when we take the mickey out of the skates for banging on about history they really are talking about times which will very soon be out of living memory. Wow........

Mr Biscuits Posted 29 September, 2015 Posted 29 September, 2015 Trousers...... I'm afraid you are struggling against a portsmyth. It is now FACT. You simply cannot change the fevered history of the phew down the road, you are just going to have to accept the FACTS as spouted at low tide.

I guess time had dulled the memory as to how thick PFC123 was, how Ho still proclaimed that there was greatness ahead for them, that charities and businesses would get paid..and f**k me there's a post from Mack (Hi Mack!) that is grammatically ok, spelled correctly...I suspect a ringer...and not of the evil-smelling, tw*t-hatted variety! Five years on, karma tastes as sweet and smells as wonderful as their festering fat-ridden smells putrid. Long may the comedy continue!! :-)
