Chez Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 Cook has called fans out, suggesting that they come down to the training ground rather than just abuse at him at the **** park after yet another defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterside.saint Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 (edited) They're having a proper little meltdown this week, and Cook seems to have completely lost it. I can't see him keeping his job beyond the end of the season unless some incredible act of God somehow gets them promoted. They really are an utter laughing stock. Their abject failure to get out of the division despite having a budget that's way greater than their opponents speaks volumes about failure at every level of the club. From the board, through management to recruitment it's been a colossal cluster **** season after season and extremely satisfying to watch. WTFILN? Hear hear! Long may their tatty clown car continue its hilarious and prolonged collapse Edited 30 January, 2017 by Waterside.saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 Are.... are...... you saying that, since the fans own the club (apparently) then all of these failures are actually THEIR fault? The buck stops at the top - the owners are at the top - clearly THEY are the problem ! Boooo.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 30 January, 2017 Share Posted 30 January, 2017 They've realised that ownership of the comatose giant is too big a job - for themselves. It's the pressure of their own virtual cup final, they are weighed down by their own inner expectation. Sort of. Or some other twaddle about warchests, rallying cries and plucky heroes.

Danbert Posted 31 January, 2017 Share Posted 31 January, 2017 It strikes med that there's actually a whole special Pompey vocabulary, so I thought I'd start a dictionary. Additional entries welcome... Bestest - most special supporters in World football, thanks to their unwavering support and boundless enthusiasm (see TCWTB) TCWTB - affectionate acronym for Pompey's best loved and most enthusiastic son. TCWTB is popular with all. Kipper Shed / Krap Notarff / Timber Tabernacle - famous for it's atmosphere (see Bestest) the Kipper Shed is an architectural and engineering marvel, and not just because it's still standing. At various times it's been reconceived as a an underwater casino, a potty and a turntable. Existential dread - the feeling that all professional footballers who play for Pompey are for some reason struck with when playing at the Kipper Shed, and which explains all anomalous results. Their cup final - the curious phenomenon which allows vastly inferior teams to consistently beat Pompey at the Kipper Shed, and which explains all anomalous results. The Turin Tablecloth - a holy Pompey artifact (see The Victory 2). Legend has it that the face of Michael Appleton is clearly visible on April 7 every year (see The Victory 1). The Victory 1 - The famous 2-2 draw of April 7 2012 whereby Pompey prevented Southampton from gaining promotion to the Premiership.

Chez Posted 31 January, 2017 Share Posted 31 January, 2017 (edited) The News reports that there is deadline excitement with the Skates looking likely to swoop ahead of Bolton for the signing of Preston North End's striker Eoin Doyle, on loan. Yeah, I know, gripping stuff, especially as Bolton's interest is non-existent with their expected signings of strikers Chris Wood and Adam LeFondre. But then again you never know what deadline day might bring...my F5 finger is getting a blister. Edited 31 January, 2017 by Chez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Tull at Northampton (and Tottenham I believe) and Jack Leslie at Plymouth would be two prior to the Pompey claim that I know of off top of head who played professionally in England prior to WW2 (WW1 in Tull's case). Probably there are at least one or two others? Leslie is a crazy story, he was picked for England while at Plymouth and then dropped when they found out he wasn't white.
