Fate & karma are walking all over the skates in high heeled stiletto boots

 

nah they'd enjoy that. But being sent down for a long stretch due to Karma catching up with them, and then finding themselves sharing a cell with a huge sweaty-arsed old lag called Fate who wants to play mummies and daddies - I could go for that

Reading through Allen's article, they talk about P&L, can anyone point me to where the P came into it?

 

Ah, apologies, they took the P out of the charities and other creditors.

 

There is good news for them however. At least a tonking should mean their highlights should be on before 1am tonight

don't be so smug, they are on the up!

Last saturday was rock bottom - this week they got beaten by someone I've heard of.

 

The swing in league places is approx 130 now. :scared:

Just a few classic lines forum comments from out friends in blue tonight after a heavy 4-1 defeat

 

Why is it all the defenders of whitts say we have to come up with a replacement.

That's not my job that's the first really big test for our new board there would be plenty of managers out there who would jump at the chance to manage here and would more than likely take a pay

 

 

 

Manager of Pompey is a big job in football and an inspiring one. The chance to turn round a big regional club with a strong fan base

 

 

 

Exactly mate, any manager worth their salt would jump at the chance of managing this club with the turn out week after week we get ... They'd have the chance to join the legendary ranks as Burrows, Campbell, Ball etc in turning this great club around

Perhaps they needed another one?
i suspect I misread the item, but if they repaid the loan in a fanfare and then took another out straight away, it would be quite a trick and the local ratepayers might not be happy

Bloody he'll, they've been turned around so many time, no wonder they're all dizzy.

Figures in the article are from end of June. Loan was repaid in August.

I wonder how many variations on the theme 'sorry, I've just found something important to do but thanks all the same' they'll hear from the targets on that modest list

A casual glance of Twitter makes me think the natives are restless.

 

The Dave Clark Five must be ****ting themselves as to whether they can afford to sack 'Fall' Guy.

The funny bit is that at least half of that list wouldn't consider managing them under the current circumstances in a million years.

POL Comments of the Day:

 

"Who the hell are Bournemouth? A minnow, devoid of decent history, with a wealthy foreigner punching incredibly above its weight. Crikey, a comparison with them. You post as if they are a rival to us."

 

"I am getting grumpier and grumpier during games. We are drawing with the football powerhouse that is York City. Faneffingtastic. Can we please actually win this one and stop piddling about"

 

"We've got the mighty Rochdale next week"

 

"This is their [trust] first real tough decision they will have to make for on the pitch matters. How much longer can we go on like this?"

 

"its time for the trust to grow some balls"

 

"We need to use the loan market starting with a goalkeeper"

 

"Time for the Board to match the ambition showed by us and appoint Warnock"

 

"I am sick of losing. Sick of minnows wiping their feet on us. We are numbed by this garbage"

 

"We are Portsmouth Football Club, twice champions of England. Playing Minnows. I'm sorry to adopt such a superior attitude in the 4th division but too many people at this club do not have that ruthless, aggressive, 'we are better than you, AND we will show it' attitude. At the moment we have an attitude of 'we are bigger than these clubs, but lets allow them to enjoy their big day out against Pompey'. It's arrogance but more importantly, it's soft as ****!"

 

So basically they are already fed up with League 2 and are prepared to sack any manager that doesn't look like winning every game in the division, as is their right. They want Warnock installed and if that doesn't happen then the trust has no balls. We need to sign better players regardless of financial consideration and how dare they be compared to Bournemouth because they are minnows. Another few seasons in League 2 is just what they need.

 

and one to put a smile on your face from the general himself...

 

"I wouldn't put it past them to make it into a Europa Cup place though. Dear God, even when they were sh*t and down in League One they would have absolutely creamed us today, we are f**king atrocious!!"

From Pompey online - no doubt banned seconds later...

 

 

York fan here. Firstly you don't know what our 'aims' are for this season. Just surviving certainly isn't an aim as that is dangerous, we learnt that last season.

Secondly when we got relegated to the Conference in 2004 we had a similar attitude. We even called ourselves 'the Arsenal of the Conference' reflecting our misplaced belief that playing fancy football would get us out of that league. It took us 8 years and by then we had a lot more respect for that level.

Thirdly, playing you isn't a 'big day out' for us. In recent seasons we've played at Wembley 3 times and played top tier sides in cup competitions. Those were big days out.

You're a 4th division side now and you need to get used to it. You certainly won't be leaving this division in an upwards direction until you get a new defence.

 

I didn't intend to post on here, I only signed up to read the views and opinions but your attitude prompted me to.

 

Good luck for the rest of the season.

I'd love to see how that message is received on POL. Playing Portsmouth isn't a "cup final"? Who'd have believed that? :-D
