The thread for the more optimistic in life - part 2 of many

[kwsaint]

I went to the game with an ex-portsmouth supporter who said he always wanted to support his local team but found the atmosphere down at fratton park too aggressive and the football was horrible. He said it's been a while since he's actually enjoyed a game of football and Sunday was that time when he has. It just put it into perspective for me that, even though we're second from last, some of the football being played on Sunday was premier league standard. I wonder whether any posters on here have forgotten that? And before you say that there should be discussion and people can have there own views, I'm just fed up of saints web becomming a place of doom and gloom.

We still need to get some results under our belts. I think that the unforgiving demands of the Premier is undoing some of our stars who were able to coast a bit but now nothing less than 100% concentration is punished defensively. I'm not a lover of the mania to play 100 slow motion consecutive passes in our own half then give the ball away to the opposition who attack with pace and movement. I think we were much more effective in the last half hour and played some really sharp football which I really enjoyed. I didn't really enjoy us being cut to pieces for half an hour in the first half.

The tide of ex-Pompey fans coming to SM is starting to happen, I see.
