LGTL Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Donny losing. Need a Plymouth goal otherwise they're champions of a league we've never played in.
Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Looks like they'll be celebrating Eisner's takeover by winning a Mickey Mouse trophy. How fitting.
andysstuff Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Need a Plymouth goal otherwise they're champions of a league we've never played in. Another stick to beat us with.
bpsaint Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 One more trophy more than us to their collection FFS. Hate those dirty ****s.
LGTL Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 One more trophy more than us to their collection FFS. Hate those dirty ****s. This doesn't count! We've never had a chance to win League 2
Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 One more trophy more than us to their collection FFS. Hate those dirty ****s. At least this is one they've won legitimately Anyhow, winning the League 2 trophy is NOT something to get jealous about
bpsaint Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 This doesn't count! We've never had a chance to win League 2 Still adds to their claim of most decorated club on the South, regardless of it being League 2.
Golden Balls Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Still adds to their claim of most decorated club on the South, regardless of it being League 2. Lol if that counts then we are the most decorated club on the south coast.
spyinthesky Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Lol if that counts then we are the most decorated club on the south coast. Not if you count our successes in the Southern league which was the equivalent of Div 3 prior to the Football league being expanded in the early 1920's
whelk Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Still adds to their claim of most decorated club on the South, regardless of it being League 2. Get a fcking grip
Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 They've been gifted that trophy really by Plymouth and Doncaster. They were 17 points behind in February! Surely the worst three sides to go up for ages.
spyinthesky Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Wonder if the Pompey News will be running a campaign to get Cook knighted as it did with Henry Redknapp (and suggestions of a joint arrangement with Peter Storrie!!)
saint lard Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 That is why Adkins was **** and an underachiever. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Surely the worst three sides to go up for ages. It's mad really. They threw it away. Fair play to them though. Winning any league is commendable. Let them enjoy it. And it makes Paul Cook unsackable.
rallyboy Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Is Cook running around the remains of the ground with his finger to his lips or has the booing stopped?
Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 That is why Adkins was **** and an underachiever. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk They won the league with 87 points We came 2nd in League 1 with 92 points. And Adkins wasn't even in charge for the entire season, had he been, we would've won that division. Then, in the Championship, 2nd again with 88 points. They won the league because other teams messed it up for them.
Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 One consolation - the League Two trophy was up in the north east. So they won't be awarded it tonight
Saints foreva Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 There's actually a few having a ****ing meltdown about them winning a league we've never been in? Jesus ****ing Christ.
hutch Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Credit where credit's due. This is no time to be churlish. Roll on next season.
Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Let's see if they have the balls to sing 'Champions of League 2, you'll never sing that' at us
Micky Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Hats off, well played to the Skates, if they take this form into next season whose to say they won't get back to back promotions. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
Crab Lungs Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Loads of nauseating "were the biggest/bestest club in the football league" on Twitter at the mo, likewise a lot of them going on about how they've won all four divisions. Considering their only a few years old, I didn't think that was possible?
Gorgiesaint Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Fair play to them getting out of Division 4 at the (what is it) third attempt. Not bad for a club with by far the biggest budget in the league. Actually good job they got promoted with Coventry being relegated, they might not have been considered the biggest club down there next year.
eurosaint Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Let's not knock them in their moment of elation, after all they will now be mixing it with football giants such as Fleetwood, Bury and Shrewsbury ! It don't get much better than that, eh ! I'm guessing they'll become an established 3rd division side within a couple of short years !

Mr Biscuits Posted 8 May, 2017 Posted 8 May, 2017 Well I have to congratulate the skates for getting out of League Two at the fourth attempt, and not only that they did it winning the league as well. Quite some achievement winning the league on goal difference, I'd like to say I'm impressed. I quite sure that picture of the gathering on Southsea is merely the start of the event and in no way indicates the actual true figures. Just like their match day attendances that bring in 3million a week (home or away) to the local economy. I can't wait to see the first 'ripping up league one' posters to flood social media. I'm quite sure the likes of Southend Utd, MKDons and Walsall are very nearly quaking in their boots at the thought of the bestest most local team in world football bringing the bestest most passionate fans anywhere ever to their ground. Remember kids, every game a cup final. Has Eisner revealed the groundshare plans with Sholing FC for next season yet?

Pamplemousse Posted 8 May, 2017 Posted 8 May, 2017 If we draw them in one of the cups next season, just show that video to our players.
jawillwill Posted 8 May, 2017 Posted 8 May, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/embed/VqpBOom7X6w Their players singing about us. How cute [emoji23] I have absolutely no idea who that player is, but I'd find it highly amusing if we signed him for a miniscule fee (for us) but one they couldn't refuse. And then we let him rot, nowhere near the first team.
Mr Biscuits Posted 9 May, 2017 Posted 9 May, 2017 Are you a mental? I don't want a single one of those skates near our club.
daveygwyatt Posted 9 May, 2017 Posted 9 May, 2017 We shouldn't be so quick to judge, I'm sure I remember Chaplow etc joining in anti skate songs when we got promotion from league one, I'm sure the ox was stood there looking rather sheepish at the time. It's just playing to the fans thats all.
Pamplemousse Posted 9 May, 2017 Posted 9 May, 2017 It all fits into their inferiority complex I wonder what the new owners will do with Paul Cook. Surely if they are going to progress, they'll need a better manager.
SKD Posted 9 May, 2017 Posted 9 May, 2017 It all fits into their inferiority complex I wonder what the new owners will do with Paul Cook. Surely if they are going to progress, they'll need a better manager. Keep him I suspect. They way they've banged on and celebrated Saturday's result, it's like he's won them the champions League... not the bottom division of English football with a wage structure that would dwarf most of those in the league above

Meanwhile, there is something of an exodus going on down there. Enda Stevens, apparently their best player, is of to Sheffield United. More to follow Edited 9 May, 2017 by Pamplemousse

Their captain (don't know his name) is also reportedly considering his options as he's out of contract too.
