trousers Posted 14 August, 2015 Share Posted 14 August, 2015 (edited) Points deduction says the distinction to the holding company was moot. Yes, as far as the football league were concerned. Legally, it never happened (to the football club).... Might be better to compare CVAs. Now, we definitely didn't have one of those Edited 14 August, 2015 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 14 August, 2015 Share Posted 14 August, 2015 The Portsmyths are in full swing on POL To be honest you can combine the histories of Reading, Southampton, Bournemouth and Brighton and still not get anywhere near ours though. Scum now have more than us- absurdly, implausiby, unbelievably, yet it is so- by default. They are going to rack up more seasons in the top-flight until the likes of Leeds, Derby, Forest and Sheffield Wednesday get their acts together. So long as the Watfords, Bournemouths and Swanseas populate the division they are safe. Combine the elevation of those clubs with a poor successor to Koeman, a drying up of the academy and some more of the dubious signings they have made this summer, and then... They are a feeder club for the top few and no more than that. They will go down, but it will be some time before they do. If you count it in straight seasons, then yes the scummers have more. If you count it in years, then we have more ie we were still a top flight for the seven war years. If you count it in percentages as a proportion of our time in the top flight compared to the other leagues, then we win on seasons and years. A nice one for the scummers there. It's not how long you spend in thee top flight it's what you do with it. By the way, there are a lot of the stripey boys who want us to get through, so that they can stuff us in the next round. As if. LOL This is why we need to play them and beat them. One win against the Daggers and one against Derby and suddenly they're the bestest team in the whole wide world. For balance, there is one comment which sees past the portsmyths but I presume he's a jealous scummah in disguise Fans of which team do you think would change places with us? Reading, brighton and Scum are miles above us, have better training grounds and stadia. Bournemouth are embarking on their maiden prem season. Maybe we should crow when we don't have to crick our necks looking up.. Till then the cup is a nice distraction and can keep us dreaming, but ultimately I'd be far happier getting smashed by reading and getting promoted from the league than I would taking a cup run and damaging promotion chances. look at what we've actually beaten so far.... teams like Dagenham and a championship C team. Its a very long season ahead and the league is all that matters..... Lest we have Eastleigh giving it large next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Biscuits Posted 14 August, 2015 Share Posted 14 August, 2015 Nice to see the delusion is alive and kicking Also very amused on the ways in which they are trying to come up with new FACTS to prove they are better than us (the one about us being relegated had me chuckling) The entire argument is done. They used to be good, they aren't any more, they had a brief flash in the pan by overspending and will continue paying the price for that stupidity for quite some time to come. By contrast, Saints grew and grew, spent nearly 30 years in the top flight, lost it due to poor financial management (but nowhere near to the extent of that lot) and are now back in the top flight with an owner determined not to overextend the club ever again. Europa will probably have an effect on our league position this year but there are many more teams who will still not perform as well as us so we're not going down. The money coming in next year just cements our position yet further. The squad will continue to improve, the academy isn't going to do anything other than keep churning out the talent. The argument is done. We are simply better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biscuits Posted 14 August, 2015 Share Posted 14 August, 2015 What. Basically...... You can prove anything with statistics (not necessarily the truth though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biscuits Posted 14 August, 2015 Share Posted 14 August, 2015 Also quite amused by the 'feeder' club accusation. If the price is right and it's right for the club, anyone is for sale. And that's true for ANY team in the pyramid. However if by feeder club the skate was referring to us selling some top top talent at the right price which is then immediately reinvested in the squad then I'm actually quite happy to be referred as such. ESPECIALLY if we get another situation where a player gets big headed, engineers the move and goes on to struggle while we walk away pocketing 20million and picking up a better replacement for a fifth of the cost. Yep- definitely a feeder club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Super Saint Posted 14 August, 2015 Share Posted 14 August, 2015 Personally, I like the way they are trying to fabricate statistics based on time in the top division to prove they are the bestest. This would be the same top division they have been lambasting for the past four years and shouting to anyone that will listen that they don't want to be a part of it!

Ohio Saint Posted 16 August, 2015 Share Posted 16 August, 2015 Joint second if we don't mind splitting hares. (subtle gypsy joke there) They've had a good start to the season, as they did last year. However, this season they are looking better and consolidated after all their struggles. Most on POL are feeling very confident. It will be a more interesting season this time for both the skates, and anyone hoping to see them fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 16 August, 2015 Share Posted 16 August, 2015 Since when did football introduce joint top as a league position?!

I also saw County beat them in Division three in 1982/3 and in the Welsh Premier Cup once - even so, poky bottom division side not bigger than currently much more successful recent FA Cup Final losing rivals.

Mr Biscuits Posted 17 August, 2015 Share Posted 17 August, 2015 The spelling and grammar alone says it all (I have to say in this age of auto-correct on most phones and tablets, I find it amazing how anyone can be so illiterate online. Unless of course there is an app which deliberately spells words wrong for them so they can understand what other people are saying) Also nice to see them still harp on about one game where the result went their way, conveniently forgetting the FACTS of HISTORY where, down the years, we have spanked them more times than they have managed against us. Still I see no reason to let the FACTS get in the way of a good argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
