    Suggest what you want. It's an opinion not a statement of fact. It's based on how I assessed him. I don't give a **** what Neville says about it.

    Fwiw He also said "Lovren does well arching his back to get the free kick" so he cheated to try to ensure Bournemouth didnt score and he did well? Why would I want the opinion of someone who says someone did well by cheating? Kaboul was certainly not our worst defender. He was probably our best which is basically what I said! That doesn't necessarily mean he played well but he had an awful lot to contend with with pva playing outside him

    Hope this is welcome back, Smug. I've been watching the site for a while but you haven't been on?

    All ok?

    In a defence that let 3 in, but could have been 6, it's hardly an achievement, and not even worth noting.

    I gave an opinion. It was questioned and I was misquoted! Would you just keep quiet if that was the case? I felt sorry for him! He was the only one of the 4 that looked like he could defend! But due to the other three being so ****e he can't exactly shine can he!

    You obviously missed the second half if you think it could have been 6! Easily more!!!

    Sorry mate just fustrated at another bad signing for our club.

    We have turned into the Wigan of the premier league, and us fans deserve so much more.

    Constant make do signings that are either too old or not good enough.

    Short has a lot to answer for.

    Not sure he's that bad a signing mate - Always looked a good defender and he's only 29! You could put Bobby Moore or Charlie Hurley in that defence in their pomp and they'd look ****e!

    Well why do you deserve better?

    What have you done different to other fans?

    You haven't done anything different.

    We average around 43,000 fans at home. Those 43,000 have turned up every home game to watch nothing more than ****e in the last 3-4 years.

    We've watched our better players sold one by one until we have been left with complete and utter dross, yet we still turn up in our masses.

    We take 1000s of fans all over the country to watch our team, and see the likes of Swansea and west ham bring handfuls up here.

    When Wigan were in the premier league, they had around 15,000 turn up to watch them, they were always flirting with relegation, but at least they had some flair players to excite the crowd, we have no body to get the fans of there seats, and it's been like that for 3-4 years.

    It's all very easy being a utd fan and asking us why we deserve better. Let's see how many people would turn up at old Trafford if your backs were against the wall EVERY game. Your players were either too old or unwanted by every body else. Your biggest achievement every year was to somehow avoid relegation, playing the most dire football along the way, with no pace or skill within your team.

    Let's see if you would fill the theatre of dreams then, because for the last 3-4 years we've been playing in the theatre of nightmares

    So you deserve better because your fans can be bothered to go to watch football in a stadium and because you sold some of your better players.

    What other club does that not apply to exactly?

    A couple of years ago, you were one of the worst supported clubs in the league when attendance was measured as a percentage of capacity. 18th out of 20.

    So you deserve more because you have a bigger stadium?

    I'm not slating you as fans, by the way, I think you have probably the best away support in the Premier League, but that doesn't entitle you to anything.

    Putting up with ****, doesn't mean you should eventually get a reward.

    That's my issue with your statement, thinking you're owed something greater because you do the same as other club's fans.

    43,000 turn up to get excited about us getting a corner, or someone producing a good tackle.

    We would need to extend our ground If we had a slight bit of success.

    If we were to swap players and positions in the league with utd, let's see how many fans you would get.

    No offence, but being a utd fan, you wouldn't understand.

    It's all a bit to convenient to say you wouldn't understand.

    What do Pompey fans deserve then? Or Darlo? But then you wouldn't understand what they have had to put up with...

    I do take offence, don't tell me what I can and can't understand, you patronising ****.

    Try doing your research, when we were playing in division two we had more ****ing fans turning up than any other club in the country.

    Cry me a ****ing river.
