Only a 10 point penalty? Hopefully they go bankrupt and cease to exist as a football club.

No. We have 13 games left and need about 10 more points to be safe we'll get that even with him in charge. The relegation battle is between the bottom 5.

Yep. Its unsustainable because we are not big enough or not able to generate enough income to be self sustaining as a top 5 club. That's the harsh reality. That's because its not possible. If you have a group of players who are good enough to get you into the top 6, then guess what they'll want pay packets that are the same as at the other top clubs, otherwise they'll be off. Football's all about money, simple as that. We don't have any so unless we get a shiekh in a la man city then we have to accept that we are going to be a feeder team for the bigger clubs, we can at best finish about 6th in the league and maybe we might get a FA cup or carling cup win sometime. That's it. We are not able to compete for CL or a league title.

He does that all the time. He seems to think he can catch the eye by trying to hit 50+ yard passes and then fails 99% of the time. I thought he was awful yesterday.

19 goals in 37 starts for a midtable side like ours. The boy's not a bad striker, can't think of many that would get that kind of record here.

:shock: Where are these signs? 45 minutes of decnt football versus QPR?

I'd say it more to do with the fact that we are rubbish. Nike only pay to make the jersey's of the biggest and best clubs in thwe world. Its part of building the brand so that you associate Nike with the best. I can't say I'm surprised they don't want to pay us to make our jerseys anymore.

My heart bleeds for him. He is a shit footballer. He is a terrible defender. The crowd booing or not booing him isn't going to change that.

I wouldn't swap Carroll for one of Tevez's boots

So we are ideally suited then? Yep. We are a midtable side because we have players like dunne/collins in the side. Simple.

Nice of Mcliesh to come out and blast RVP for an elbow in an attempt to distract attention from his sides capitulation from a 2-0 HT lead and the inevitable blame that would come his way. I guess he must be learning something from Fergie...

This. He's a journeyman premier league player for a lower to midtable table side. That's all he ever was or ever will be. That's not a slight on the lad, not everyone can be a maldini.

That's what I was thinking too. They seem to have been in administration for ages and there always seems to be some supposed takeover that never happens. AFC Portsmouth to appear in the bottom leagues soon?

I want the Giants to win but I can see the cheating patriot scum winning another undeserved super bowl. BOOO!!!

What's the future for pompey here, get a take over or face complete collapse?

Great to see Warnock dropped. At least mcLiesh isn't completely blind.

Yes it should be allowed. /Close thread.

I've made it to mission 45 of 47, and i'm bored now. It's a good game, but GTA is still the better of the two. I played this and never really got into it at all, just wasn't as fun or as funny as I was expecting. Maybe its because i never played the other games.

This. Surely the lad can't be any worse than worse the warnock.

Not really IMO. The issue is that the US government are trying to close the door about 20 years after the horse has bolted, and they are trying to close that door with a sledgehammer that's only designed to break the door. The problem with free speech is that once you give it to people its very hard to take it back. The internet is already well established with free speech & sharing, trying to take that back is going to be next to impossible. Like The_Rev said above its the US government trying to copy the chinese model :shock: and just using piracy as camouflage

Its his appalling passing that's the real problem :winkold: Don't we know that already? Our midfield has been abysmal this season and he still can't get into the side. At the start of the season I was hoping that he would come good this season and cement a place in the side. Instead it looks like he going backwards to a career in the championship. Maybe I'm being harsh but I haven't seen anything from him to show me that he'll be good enough for us.

Yep just some captain showing off and then when it went tits up, tried to leg it.

I have recently completed Arkham City (with Catwoman DLC) too and thought it was great. I love the dark atmosphere of it and excellent voice acting especially by Mark Hamill. Give that man an oscar. I have also recently completed LA Noire, its only okay. I like games that try to bring something new and innovative but I'm not sure LA noire really worked.

The difference is that they are not spunking a load of money like we did under the MON era. I doubt Pardew has spent even half of the £36m Andy carroll fee. I agree though, they are just a one season wonder. They might get 7th this season but that's as good as it'll get for folks at the sportsdirect.comarena@saintjames'park
