    Well Pompey have made a good start to the season and with their astute choice of manager and decent finances, surely it is only a matter of time before their class shows and they are promoted in May.
    The Gentlefolk of Portsmouth surely deserve this? They are a fine upstanding group, not at all given to interfering with livestock or for that matter Xenophobia.
    I wish them well and look forward to celebrating their inexorable rise back to the top tier of English football. Huzzah!

    It will be all the better when we go up, and , you Scummers come down, maybe we will pass like ships in the night again? <laugh>

    After all I imagine there will be a few more of your rats jumping ship soon!<whistle>

    Well if both threads are correct they will only be one division between us this time next year - or am I skating on thin ice? <laugh>

    Are we talking about the cost of fish?

    No, I think the price of fish is hardly worth discussing:).

    I suppose that this thread is based on a whimsical idea of providing an antidote to the SB3 pantomime thread. To develop it further,I am going to state for the record that SB3's suggestion that he wants to attend St Marys Stadium, (might have quite a wait for that one) hoping to follow the Bell Ringer's example of urinating on the seats, is merely a pretence. In short, he is a "Phoney Piddler".

    It would appear that the skates have a squad that will certainly challenge for promotion this year.

    A promising beginning to be sure and a promotion is in the offing but according to a Plymouth poster if their side is not "nit picked' and they "fire on all cylinders" they will "p**s this league" so runners up for Pompey at best.

    And then along came Accrington Stanley, and not for the first time Pompey failed to score against League 2 opponents this season. While the team may have changed, it is hard to get rid of the air of mediocrity that has presided over this club ever since my late parents moved to the South Coast from Twickenham in the late 50s, and after a while I adopted both Pompey and Southampton as teams to support because they are Hampshire and I have always wanted Hampshire teams to do well.

    Stanley came for a draw, Ides, they parked the bus, and we couldn't find the key to move it.

    All 51 of their fans celebrated like they had won the Cup.

    Still unbeaten in the league though.

    Still think with slightly higher quality players, you would have scored. Longing for the day when FP is modernised. If Preston can do it without rich benefactors, Pompey can and moreover Pompey's potential catchment must be similar to the likes of Norwich, Derby, Hull, Ipswich, Sheffield United,.... but Pompey have never capitalised on this potential, which to my mind is criminal.

    There have been many plans to develop Fratton Park, including rotating the stadium through 90 degrees using adjacent land.
    The accountants rejected this idea, concluding that rotating the stadium through 360 degrees was the least expensive option.

    Yes there is, but frankly most of the jokes on there seem to have come from the 1970's. I will continue to plow my lonely furrow in the hope of occasionally amusing some of you. Thank you for your consideration.

    That's a bit rich Channon, coming from a fan of a club that have just splashed out a lot of money on the bloke who once played the role of Bert in Mary Poppins :)
