Mr Biscuits Posted 28 May, 2016 Share Posted 28 May, 2016 Can't you use the phrase taken from (I presume The News' ) article: "the latest bid to escape League Two." :-) No. Because that sounds like Factless Allens Goebbels-esque positive historical revisionism. They failed to get out of league two this season and that is what I shall remind them of. Failure is failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopGun Posted 30 May, 2016 Share Posted 30 May, 2016 When I think about it, it's to the benefit of Factless Allen that Portsmouth are in the bottom league. Any higher and he would have to up his writing game or face competition from journalists capable of writing factual, objective and investigative articles rather than spewing out turgid puff pieces on a conveyor belt.

Mr Biscuits Posted 30 May, 2016 Share Posted 30 May, 2016 So basically: 'We signed them on long contracts because we expected to get out of league two sooner but that hasn't worked out so now we're touting them wherever we can but we might be stuck with them in the squad. But despite the fact Cook still doesn't want to use them we'Re going to say they are amazing because they play for the bestest' As for that article by Factless.....

Shame for Plymouth but pleased for Ardley, remember him being so gutted when Wimbledon were relegated at the Dell. Plymouth will have the Wembley money to reinforce next term and have to start as favourites to win that league. Skates will be amongst the favourites as well but won't be easy for them to get automatic, especially with those 3 big earners Cook wants out on the books. Wimbledon v MK Dons is mouth watering!

Saint-Armstrong Posted 30 May, 2016 Share Posted 30 May, 2016 So that means that Paul Robinson and Ricky Holmes - both of whom were pushed out by Pompey despite clearly being two of their best players - have been promoted to League 1 with Wimbledon and Northampton this season.

Judging by Cook's ability to spot talent... ‘It may not necessarily be the end of them and Paul will use an example of Sam Hird at Chesterfield. ‘He transfer-listed him, but didn’t leave the club and ended up becoming a regular, this year named as their player of the season. ‘John-Joe O’Toole at Northampton was the same.
