You're quite right. Can I be the first to point out that even if we survive this season, next season is not looking good. We are already level on points with the bottom club and assuming we don't get through the season with a 100% record (which we won't) we are already reliant on others droppnig points for survival. On one point we can all agree. A good win a Tottenham will end the debate (this season's that is). And lets face it, with our brand of football it won't be undeserved will it?
Probably, and Nelson's home team would have been the Canaries. I guess Churchill would have been either Oxford United or Oxford City.
For a ship to come home safely it needs to reach the quayside and offload its cargo, sinking in the harbour mouth does not count as a success. Those of you of an optimistic nature can get the bunting out and strike up the brass band, I for one will reserve my celebrations until mathematics proves that relegation is impossible. Not pessimism (as I dont believe we will fail) just hard headed realism, recognising that there is still a job to do which should not be taken for granted.
The pessimism makes me laugh. Just like last season, when some inexplicably expected Coventry to suddenly turn into Barcelona.
There's a nasty rumour Nelson might have been a skate. Don't believe it myself, but he has docked his boat in a very dodgy spot, so it's possible.
Done purely to WUM the approx. 50% of the Pompey fanbase that was watching. Dozens of Skates were disappointed.
Until we got that 1st goal I really was not enjoying that day, the festival atmosphere in the ground was making me very nervous!
