warsash saint Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 Our last away game at Walsall was a Tuesday night. We battered them but lost 1-0. Remember the massive over reaction on here after the game as those at the match said it was 'one of those days' (it was) and others who just saw the result and wrote off any chance we had of automatic promotion. .

rallyboy Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 I note on Twitter that their fans have downgraded themselves from the bestest to some of the best. That looks like a slippery slope - otherwise known as a cliff, perhaps reality is biting. Oh no it's not! - they're still banging on about the illegal cup runs and pretending they were real. Saddos. They must be obsessed. As for us, we're just jealous - yeah, that'll be it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appy Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 That's when he absolutely wrote off promotion from league 1, despite saints still being favourites and looking odds on. Some people can't handle the simple fact that sometimes you'll lose matches however good you are. But most learn from mistakes, and at least enjoy it. After the 50th writing off of saints that season, they were promoted, and following writing them off in September and every other month, they were promoted again. Still no joy, still no learning, still thinks he's right for making generic non-points. That's why this thread has lasted so long, it's a distraction from the main forum and the impossibility of a decent vaguely calm, rational discussion. Ironically because he pops up getting abusive so he can accuse people of being abusive in response and not allowing a discussion. Irony sadly lost on him. Must say, I liked the challenge of anti-pompey supporting when they had a decent relegation scrap last year. This is just such a lost cause it's hard to take much joy in the individual games. Except swindon of course. Nice easy relegation is fine by me, i'm on for £115 when they go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the massive over reaction on here after the game as those at the match said it was 'one of those days' (it was) and others who just saw the result and wrote off any chance we had of automatic promotion. But you are right - the supporters club (a few quid to get in) did run out of food and they had about 2 people serving and all the food on a few trays and kept having to cook more. Then once you finally got your food after 45mins of queuing you'd turn around to see there wasn't a spare seat anywhere to be able to eat your food and instead had to eat standing up for yet more ballache.

Katalinic Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 "When PFC was last relegated to the third tier it took us seven seasons to return to our 'default' level (ie the one where we've spent most seasons) which is the second tier. That would seem to be a realistic timeframe to work towards this time around, although football does tend to concertina ups and downs more these days. I disagree with you about players. PFC will be the biggest opportunity many decent lower league players will have in their lives. Pompey will be the chance to play in, probably, League 2 at a club which won the FA Cup five years ago and gets gates of 10,000+. In League 2, only Bradford or arguably Plymouth, get remotely close to offering the 'football' career opportunity we present. Whether we will be able to afford to fight off the likes of, say , bankrolled Fleetwood to sign those players is another matter. By all means talks our prospects down, but I'd beware the self-fulfilling prophecy..." Posted by Colin Farmery on one of their message boards.
