Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 6 May, 2017 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgiesaint Posted 6 May, 2017 Share 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 Share 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 !

Mr Biscuits Posted 8 May, 2017 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, there is something of an exodus going on down there. Enda Stevens, apparently their best player, is of to Sheffield United.
