K,Billy's supersound Posted 19 July, 2011 Share Posted 19 July, 2011 time maybe with alittle more than three weeks before kick off, but money?. would any players be match fit, able to jump straight into the team and perform, gel with team mates and get use to tatics. the longer they wait the closer to the bottom of the barrel they will be scratching around to gather together a squad i would be worried if i was a pompey fan tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsk Posted 19 July, 2011 Share Posted 19 July, 2011 pompey's squad as listed on sky, oh dear oh dear gotta be the weakest squad i the divsion and i long old struggle install for them Goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown Stephen Henderson Defender Joel Ward Ricardo Rocha Aaron Mokoena Jason Pearce Hermann Hreidarsson Greg Halford Tal Ben-Haim Midfielder Liam Lawrence Hayden Mullins David Norris Striker Luke Varney Dave Kitson N****wo Kanu 15 + the 5 allowed loanees (in a natch-day squad) = the minimum 20 they have to have in order to get the golden share. Expect 5 loanees from the prem just before the season starts. Quality over quantity again - I hope this time around they suffer from many more injuries and suspensions than they did last season.

It's a very good question mack and one that is key to our season. When the attitude was right last season we were playing above our league and the signs were encouraging, hell we troubled Man U even. If we can carry that through to this season I think the top half of the league is a big possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 19 July, 2011 Share Posted 19 July, 2011 don't worry about us Mack, we're a little sleepy giant that is just pleased to be back from Lg1. If we can stay up and maybe get a couple of draws against our superior neighbours, our modest and second bestest fanbase might consider that a good season. I just hope our limited squad can avoid relegation to reduce all those crippling debts that are mounting up... Yes, after six years in the wilderness we are just happy to be taking part. Your club has had all the fun and still looks far stronger, it will certainly be a while before we can claim bragging rights on the south coast again. Approx 18 days.

Telegraph Corinthians' response to City's demand for a proper payment schedule was perhaps a sign the transfer would not have gone smoothly even if it had gone through. See, other clubs have worked out that you can sign players you never have any intention of paying for... And being foreign they aren't tied by the Football Debts rules... Think NC should learn from this - sign Ronaldo & Tevez, don't make the installments, send them back after a season. Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 went to an event in Gosport this morning and the subject got onto football. It was asked of 50 people, mainly schoolkids, 'any saints fans here?'. Two or three of us made noise. Then we had the predictable rallying call 'Any pompey fans here?'..... Silence! Which scientifically proves beyond all doubt, Gosport has gone all red and white! Or perhaps just a worrying glimpse for the few into the future for a traditionally blue town. And on that theme, there are too many Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd shirts about everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was obviously a guess made as to whether there were two or three and you have chosen to believe that it was two. I don't see that Rallyboy has indicated where he is from, so you are again guessing that he is not from Gosport. So from your assumptions there might have been 1 out 49, or alternatively there could have been 6%. You can see from your reckoning how the people who have run Pompey can get it so wrong financially these past few years. But the telling point is that even if there were only three Saints fans there, it is surprising that there was not one single Skate. This is something I've observed in my travels around the area, that when your lot were buying the FA Cup at the expense of the taxpayer and local charities, Skate shirts were fairly widespread. Now I only see a few and they probably mostly belong to people in the care in the community scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's easy to know if it's more than 1 but unless the noises came from definite different directions then it's fair to guess at 2 or 3. I think our numbers drastically dropped while there was a campaign to get rid of our current chairman. Our away support remained really good while we lost games and get relegated and can be a fair judge of support for our team. How has your away support been over the last few years?

Very good but I was referring to the loyalty amongst the younger generation and not attendances. I was genuinely surprised by how fickle the Gosport children were - one moment they were all Pompey chimes but as soon as things went wrong they changes their allegiances very quickly. It could be due to the Naval connections of many of the Gosport families I suppose but it was certainly very noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you that blinkered that you can't see your club is responsible for further poisoning a debt ridden shambles that is professional football, whether that was the previous owners or not it was Portsmouth FC shafting their staff, stealing from charities and writing off debts that you should never have been allowed to be built up. If you were complaining when your club signed Defoe, Crouch, Muntari, etc on sub 20k attendances and if you boycotted the FA cup final and FA cup semi finals you bought your way to with a blatantly unaffordable squad, then congratulations. If you gullibly lapped up and enjoyed that time without questioning it your a complete retard and need to STFU. Protesting once the damage had already been done is like installing a fire alarm whilst your house is already a raging inferno, you reap what you sowe. Your club deserved to have been thrown out of the league completely, but instead got a slap on the wrist. Ask fans of Chester and the other clubs who were wound up for hundreds of thousands of debt if your club with over 100m of debt should still exist, Fratton Park should be a block of flats or a park by now. I had sympathy for Portsmouth fans to begin with but the club itself should no longer exist. Your fans since are revelling at chucking more money at ****, you'll end up the same way again, get a bit of success, get in **** loads of debt and start to protest only when you receive your next winding up order. I despise Portsmouth, Cardiff, Leicester, etc spending what they don't have and cheating to temporarily succeed and bull**** excuses like "it was the owners" when you all supported the teams that put you in the ****, all buzzed off transfers and all enjoyed your cup exploits before even protesting...

The only people who don't mind Pompey remain the completely ignorant. I know a couple of brum fans that feel sorry for them. Waste of time explaining it to them though as they see it as a rant from a saints fan. lol. Your right though, when anyone actually looks into how badly they were run and how lightly they got off compared to clubs a little smaller than them, they soon get the same feeling we do in that there is something more fishy than their aftershave going on.

Minsk Posted 23 July, 2011 Share Posted 23 July, 2011 pompey's squad as listed on sky, oh dear oh dear gotta be the weakest squad i the divsion and i long old struggle install for them Goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown Stephen Henderson Defender Joel Ward Ricardo Rocha Aaron Mokoena Jason Pearce Hermann Hreidarsson Greg Halford Tal Ben-Haim Midfielder Liam Lawrence Hayden Mullins David Norris Striker Luke Varney Dave Kitson N****wo Kanu Pretty strong squad if you ask me, gonna give us a run for our money? I would go with the former quote, a WEAK squad, as there are only 15 players - not even enough for the new number match day squad of 16. Of course, they will sign (at least) 5 players on loan - and may add paterson from Burnley (although I don't think Howe wants to lose him). In any event, which of these 15 players do you think would be in Saints' starting 11 if they were on our books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 23 July, 2011 Share Posted 23 July, 2011 Remember this? Well it is being built finally! Bad news for Pompey fans is that it is not Pompey that are building it, as the designs are being used by Bordeuax! Mabe Pompey fans can go on a pilgrimage to see what might have been...
