KK the 2nd Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 Thinking of having a bet on Pompey to go down, 14/1 with Paddy Power on-line. With the other teams at the bottom hitting some form (Spurs, Newcastle, Bolton) Pompey could get dragged into the scrap and 14/1 seems value?
scott_saints Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 No chance mate. They're far too good to go down I'm afraid.
saints_is_the_south Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 Depends what happens in January tbh. If they go & sell Crouch, Defoe, Kranjcar, Diarra...etc then i think they may get dragged into it. I'd be tempted to put a couple of quid on it but no more than that at this stage. Besides i knew if i bet on them to go down they'd be sure to stay up!
jawillwill Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 Stoke, Bolton and WBA will go down. Other positions of interest include: Pompey will finish 12th. Hull will finish 16th Spurs will finish 8th Newcastle will finish 11th Chelsea will be 1st United 2nd Liverpool 3rd Villa 4th
Hatch Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 We are **** and having one of our worst seasons ever. Pompey are the bees knees. We are 7 points off the bottom, they are 5 points of the bottom.
OldNick Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 Fulham will be around about the drop, Wigan Bolton. Pompey will easily avoid the drop unless the Met get their case to stick or there is a massive exodus of players.
stevegrant Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 It's going to be really wide open this season, I think. At the start of the season, everyone was expecting the three promoted sides to go straight back down. However, Hull have already got half the points they need to stay up and Stoke's home form is excellent (and still nobody seems capable of stopping the Delap throw-in tactic!). West Brom, who most people probably expected to be the most competitive have actually been the opposite, and have struggled to score goals so far while not being good enough at the back to keep enough clean sheets. Spurs and Newcastle have had dreadful starts but with the players at their disposal you'd expect them to be out of trouble eventually. Fulham and Bolton continue to struggle, particularly in front of goal. Neither side have conceded many, but if you don't score goals, you don't win games. Wigan have played well for most of the season and have got the find of the season in Amr Zaki, but somehow they found themselves in the bottom three before Saturday (and would be bottom now but for Heskey's last minute winner at Fratton Park). I have doubts over whether Steve Bruce is the right man to keep Wigan out of trouble, particularly when he keeps picking Titus Bramble... Sunderland have spent a fortune but are still rubbish, yet barely anybody in the media is questioning Roy Keane's managerial ability or his judge of a player's ability/value. Blackburn aren't the force they were last season and both Pompey and West Ham look as though they'll be conducting a bargain basement "everything must go" sale in January, so it's going to be very very tight. For what it's worth, my prediction: 1. Chelsea 2. Liverpool 3. ManYoo 4. Arsenal 5. Aston Villa 6. Man City 7. Everton 8. Tottenham 9. Blackburn 10. Middlesbrough 11. Newcastle 12. Hull 13. West Ham 14. Pompey 15. Wigan 16. Fulham 17. Stoke 18. Sunderland 19. West Brom 20. Bolton So Pompey will be safe, but I think the margin between 12th and 18th will be in single figures.
Denzil Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 One team always used to drop like a stone after Christmas. Hopefully it will be P*mpey. Think you have Sunderland and Fulham the wrong way round there Steve.
stevegrant Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 One team always used to drop like a stone after Christmas. Hopefully it will be P*mpey. Think you have Sunderland and Fulham the wrong way round there Steve. Fulham have a proven Premier League goalscorer, Sunderland don't.
Hatch Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 If Pompey lose to Sunderland on Saturday and............. Bolton, WBA, West Ham, Blackburn and Fulham all win.. Pompey will drop 7 places.
Saint Mikey Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 Sunderland have spent a fortune but are still rubbish, yet barely anybody in the media is questioning Roy Keane's managerial ability or his judge of a player's ability/value. Agreed. Why is this? Are the media scared of criticising Keane? He's spent an absolute fortune getting them promoted, keeping them up and then supposedly moving onto the 'next level'. They should be properly competing with the amount of cash they have spent, yet they are still very, meh. What Brown has done at Hull, now that's good management. Spending £150m odd and still flattering to deceive - isn't.
Denzil Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 Fulham have a proven Premier League goalscorer, Sunderland don't. Cisse should score enough to keep them up, that's if nobody breaks his legs again.
saintwarwick Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 Depends what happens in January tbh. If they go & sell Crouch, Defoe, Kranjcar, Diarra...etc then i think they may get dragged into it. I'd be tempted to put a couple of quid on it but no more than that at this stage. Besides i knew if i bet on them to go down they'd be sure to stay up! Well, bet on them staying up then!
simo Posted 4 November, 2008 Posted 4 November, 2008 Cisse should score enough to keep them up, that's if nobody breaks his legs again. + Diouf!
KK the 2nd Posted 8 November, 2008 Author Posted 8 November, 2008 14/1 has gone with Paddy Power, they are now 10/1 to be relegated with PP. Best price now 12/1 with skybet. As short as 8/1 with some. Here's hoping Kenwyne can do some damage today.
Toomer Posted 8 November, 2008 Posted 8 November, 2008 No chance mate. They're far too good to go down I'm afraid. Thats what they said about us.
KK the 2nd Posted 1 February, 2009 Author Posted 1 February, 2009 Now 9/4 to go down .. could happen. Anyone else get on at 14/1? I would love picking up my winnings on this one!!
PES Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Now 9/4 to go down .. could happen. Anyone else get on at 14/1? I would love picking up my winnings on this one!! Always better to bet on Pompey, that way you can't lose. If Pompey go down, you'll be happy, if Pompey stay up you can console yourself with a nice meal on the good people at PFC, you can't lose. I've edged my bets like that with Saints a few times, think of it as a disappointment insurance policy!
Um Bongo Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Adams has been sacked, so you will be staying up.
Deano6 Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Always better to bet on Pompey, that way you can't lose.

If you bet on Pompey but they don't get relegated noone's going to give you a penny!
Colinjb Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Adams has been sacked, so you will be staying up. Really? I've not seen it reported anywhere.

I've edged my bets like that with Saints a few times, think of it as a disappointment insurance policy! I actually put £100 at 14/1 for Pompey to win the cup when they beat Man Utd on the premise that I have never won anything from a bet. My plan that this would scupper Pompeys chances obviously didnt work. For the record I gave all of my ill gotten gains to charity, incl the £100 stake!! Whats the odds on Pompey/Saints & Bournemouth all being relgated? Or those three plus Brighton & Salisbury?
hamster Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Adams probably won't resign IMO. He did that at Wycombe and got no pay off. 'Arry would have shared his wisdom with him re 'how to **** on people and get compensated for doing so' IMHO. It won't be long though, and wouldn'rt it be cool if Jan Portvliet took his place and royally ****ed them up the arse. Then he could come back to us.

My plan that this would scupper Pompeys chances obviously didnt work. For the record I gave all of my ill gotten gains to charity, incl the £100 stake!! Whats the odds on Pompey/Saints & Bournemouth all being relgated? Or those three plus Brighton & Salisbury? Quite probable as it happens. Both Saints and Bournemouth are odds on to go down (8/11 and 4/6 respectively) with Pompey at 9/4 the combined odds are just over 8/1 on all 3 going down. Brighton more likely to stay up and are 9/2 for the drop so all four to go down would be about 50/1. (can't see any odds on Salisbury).
Arizona Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Sadly I think as poor as Pompey are, Middlesborough, West Brom and Stoke are too poor to overhall them. Of course I'd go mental if Beattie scored the goals to keep Stoke up at the Skate's expense. Can you imagine...
Andy_Porter Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Pompey will probably get lucky this season and stay up. There are so many **** teams this season, you're only going to need to string together a few results and you'll be ok. Stoke, Boro and Hull for the drop.
hypochondriac Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Middlesborough West Brom and then it's a toss up IMO.
JustMike Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 14/1...im putting £10 on that!! they are in freefall, something like 5 wins since fa cup victory. *edit..they are 11/5 now

Of course I'd go mental if Beattie scored the goals to keep Stoke up at the Skate's expense. Can you imagine... stoke have picked up some good points so far and have that fighting spirit too, i think they will be ok..just.
PES Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 Are you stupid sir? If you bet on Pompey but they don't get relegated noone's going to give you a penny! Quite often Deano, but in this instance you misunderstood me.
teamsaint Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 14/1 is a very sporting price, although they seem likely to stay up. 14/1 poopey to go down doubled with 4/1 chelsea or Liverpool (don't know what they are now, was 9/2 on Saturday) would make a nice double, and with a bit of luck would keep the interest going till near the end of the season.
saint_stevo Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 Pompey, West Brom and Stoke triple for relegation. If only i could be bothered to work out the odds
Al de Man Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 14/1 is a very sporting price, although they seem likely to stay up. 14/1 was at the beginning of November. Do keep up.
ozzmeister Posted 3 February, 2009 Posted 3 February, 2009 So whats the latest odds now, if they stick with Adams there doomed. We just need to stay up to ensure a derby day!!
Scummer Posted 3 February, 2009 Posted 3 February, 2009 they seem likely to stay up. In what sense? They haven't won a match since November.
Thedelldays Posted 3 February, 2009 Posted 3 February, 2009 pompey are playing liverpool next. torres now seems match fit.. he will tear them apart
OldNick Posted 3 February, 2009 Posted 3 February, 2009 funny how Ho has disappeared.I always said he disappears when the going gets tough and he can't take stick. He's probably been on holiday again Lol. sadly this post will bring him back as he cant not bite back. Pompey transfer gossip threads by him seem short supply as well.
KK the 2nd Posted 4 February, 2009 Author Posted 4 February, 2009 So whats the latest odds now, if they stick with Adams there doomed. We just need to stay up to ensure a derby day!! Best price with Ladbrokes at 9/4
teamsaint Posted 6 February, 2009 Posted 6 February, 2009 14/1 was at the beginning of November. Do keep up. thought it looked a fair price!!!
Stax Posted 6 February, 2009 Posted 6 February, 2009 Chelsea to finish 1st you must be on a different planet! 14/1 is good value get on now with Adams in charge its well possible.
Neil Posted 8 February, 2009 Posted 8 February, 2009 Price has been trimmed again after yesterday evening's late capitulation. Top price 12/5 with Betdaq. 7/4 with Coral/Ladbrokes/W Hill. Stan James offer just 5/4!
Saint_clark Posted 8 February, 2009 Posted 8 February, 2009 No chance mate. They're far too good to go down I'm afraid. :confused:
Dannyboy_Saint Posted 9 February, 2009 Posted 9 February, 2009 Still too many arguably worse teams around them for Pompey to go down i think. A new manager nearly always brings a change in form (i say nearly because it never seems to bloody happen to us)!
