[Spudders]

I look forward to seeing this thread develop over the coming months....

 

(I have a strange déjà vu feeling that I've already typed this before!?!?!)

[Saint Without a Halo]

As well as the 13 point gap they currently have significantly less than half our points i.e 9 to22

 

Looking forward to seeing their league position once birmingham and noffs forest catch up on their games in hand.

[PaulSaint]

Can't you post the attendance figures for those matches too just to rub it in i.e. this week I believe it was around 2:1 in our favor. Bestest fans my ar$e!

[1960saint]

its a long old season ,'tortoise and the hare' and all that malarky

[Bearsy]

Wonder how many years or decades it'll be before Pompey next finish above us?

[derry]

Pride before the fall! It would be better to leave threads like this until the season is over, it's just tempting fate. Last season at this time Portsmouth and Bournemouth were doing the same thing look what's happened since.

[stug76]

Sorry Derry, couldn't disagree more! It's banter, it's what goes on, everywhere. It's part of the fun of being a football fan, sometimes you gloat, sometimes you are gloated at(?).

 

I think it's possible to take thing too seriously you know.

[niceandfriendly]

Agree derry, also being above pompey really isn't anything special, just normality restored.

[hypochondriac]

Of course it is. Glad you get it.

[cellone]

A class above, 13 pts above. Would be nice if it was 2 leagues above at the start of next season.

[eurosaint]

Could we also have a ' Clot's excuses ' thread ?

a) Bent ref !

b) Paperthin squad !

c) Tired !

d) Unlucky !

e) Tactical incompetence ! (maybe discard this one as it will never get used, eh?)

etc, etc, etc, etc.......

[dune]

They must have neck ache looking up at us.

Many on here may not wish to read this. I spoke to a guy that went to the Scum match yesterday. His verdict. They move the ball crisply with purpose. Every player looks comfortable, score goals at will and look destined for greater things. Oh, and the anti Pompey chants are far superior to our bog standard stand up. I genuinely fear for us on December 17 (footie only) if that basket case of a worzel is till in charge.

Praying that Cotterill stays there (don't get rid of him just before Dec 18!).

 

He is fast becoming a Saints legend, and his excuse list is phenomenal. They were tired after playing 3 games in 8 days, bless them.

[whelk]

11261 there yesterday and cant even blame fixture fatigue as havent played at home since 27 Sept. Brilliant support in all weathers

[Doctoroncall]

Tues 18th Oct 2011 21:50 :-

 

14 points ahead after 12 games, and also on a record crowd of 32,152.

Edited 18 October, 2011 by Doctoroncall

[Colinjb]

14 points ahead and they are apparently about to appoint Ian Dowie.

 

Life is good!!!!

[Thedelldays]

Christ we get about 3x as many fans as them and their "legendary" support

[ericofarabia]

Mind the gap please.

[Dark Munster]

I don't want to have to hate Dowie!

 

He's still too good for them. Can't they appoint Sven? He'll be sacked at Leicester soon anyway.

 

Sven is also much too good for them. Stuart Gray would be perfect for them.

[Ohio Saint]

This thread is very distasteful, and shows us in a poor light.

 

 

What!? 14 points between us already!!?? LMFAO!!!!

[Jack]

I think they need Avram back.

[bristolsaint29]

I think we need to change the song from we're coming for you to we have more points than you!

[70's Mike]

also our last attendance is nearly 3 times bigger than their last attendance

[dubai_phil]

I think we need to change the song from we're coming for you to we have more points than you!

 

More like - we went straight past you, you're going backwards; we went straight past you

[bristolsaint29]

More like - we went straight past you, you're going backwards; we went straight past you

 

Think we have to keep "you dirty skate bastards" so they know we are singing about them

[Ohio Saint]

Or, to the tune of "Tell Laura I love her"

 

Tell Wycombe, I miss her

[Paul75]

To be the Skates are just pleased that they can still count the points differnece on 1 hand......................

[Paul75]

****to be fair***** Opps

[The9]

Do you think you could edit the OP to remove the downward blips (ie the 6, the 10s and the 11 in amongst the gradual rise ?). Looks so much nicer...

 

I hear they've been singing "we're waiting for you"...

[The9]

Pride before the fall! It would be better to leave threads like this until the season is over, it's just tempting fate. Last season at this time Portsmouth and Bournemouth were doing the same thing look what's happened since.

 

But even then we were all pretty sure it wouldn't last. This time round... we're becoming more convinced. For a start they have to win 5 straight with us losing them all just to get ahead...

[stug76]

Back to 12 points/13 games.....are they coming for us?

[hypochondriac]

Cough cough

[Jimmy_D]

Hehe, I like updating after days like today

[channonball]

Even in our darkest days I felt it was a waiting game until we got back to where we belonged, above Pompey. I reckon it will be another 20 years before we see them challenge that status again!

[stug76]

15 points, 14 games, back to over a point a game

[JackFrost]

15 points, 14 games, back to over a point a game

 

and with us at home to Peterborough and Pompey away to Palace on Tuesday there's every chance the gap will get even wider very soon

[Lighthouse]

and with us at home to Peterborough and Pompey away to Palace on Tuesday there's every chance the gap will get even wider very soon

 

Just had a look through Pompey's results. They have only managed 2 points against teams in the top half this season, late equalisers against 'boro (injury time) and Cardiff. Been beaten already by Hull, Leeds, Posh, Wham, Brighton, Ipswich and Derby. Yet to play Saints Palace and Brum.

[Spudders]

Mwahaaaa haaaaaa

[Colinjb]

I'm actually glad of the 0-0 v Palace, keeps the Eagles off our backs.

[Sheaf Saint]

I make that 17 points now - more than double, and more importantly (and humorously) they drop to 20th place.

 

Oh my aching sides!

[Gemmel]

17 points.

 

Barnsley and Forrest go above them, Watford equal their points, but stay below on goal difference.

[Doctoroncall]

Twenty points ahead after 17 games played. Nice.

[Jimmy_D]

20 points and 24 goals better off after 17 games...

 

Awesome ^^

[Whitey Grandad]

20 points and 24 goals better off after 17 games...

 

Awesome ^^

 

Oops, let's hope they don't beat us 25-0 at their place. They'd never let us forget it.

I have two issues with this. 1) I don't mind the gap I laugh at it getting bigger (as in the points gap not the gap between the train and the platform edge). 2) why would anyone video the above and then post it on YouTube thinking this would of been interesting to anyone in the world ever.
