you and us.

[BileysThere]

You have been dumped out of both cups, your charge for the CL was quickly replaced with a go at the Europa only to be now settling for safety, your "in the don we trust" made his escape and you're left with a woman who probably does'nt care about your club. Your best players are destined to be elsewhere as usual. So you can probably guess that it's a source of great joy on the right side of Hants. I could say WTFILN but really I would rather ask you for your thoughts on both our fortunes at the moment.

[kernow]

I would say our season is pretty much over and PFC will be fighting to stay up which they will probably achieve from what I've seen.

As you never go and watch them you'll just have to trust me.

[Bazwalk]

After a bad week we are 8 places from the top of Division 1. After a good week you are 8 places from the bottom of Division 4.

I will take that O:)

[BileysThere]

Thanks Kernow for that. Living on the west coast of Ireland means more than a few hours drive.
Still as long as we both agree that our hopes for the season have been dashed. :)

[BileysThere]

After so much promise are you happy with the way things have panned out then Baz?

[kernow]

So you hope PFC will relegated ?
Yes we both agree on that.

[BileysThere]

Kernow :( You know what i meant. Obviously you you are disappointed with no hope of silverware again but at least you can't say we cheated you this time.

[Bazwalk]

After an early season of "relatively" easy fixtures and performing really well the press hyped us up.

After several injuries we fell back. I have supported the Saints for many years and cannot remember us being safe in the top division in February since the 80s.

So, League wise I am happy. What I cannot understand was the last match. Ok, we fielded a weakened team; but they should have been capable of beating Sunderland ! Best chance of an FA Cup since 2003 and they blew it.

If MP does go in the summer I hope we get a manager who understands English fans and their expectations, ie. Alan Shearer.

Good luck for the rest of the season, I think you will easily stay up. Hopefully we will draw each other next year.

[kernow]

Alan Shearer !? :O
Not sure I'd like to see him as Saints manager.
He already left us once when a better ambition came along and didn't make a very good job of keeping Newcastle in the PL.
Not for me.

Fair play to you Baz, i remember being very disappointed in 2008 with after reaching the cup final our players blew a chance of a top 7 finish. Good luck for the rest of the season.

[kernow]

Considering our situation in 2009, a bad year personally and in the trivial football sense. I'm just happy to still have a life and a favourite football team.

I guess you and us have that much in common.

[Bazwalk]

My year was 2007, but I totally agree.

[OhWell]

Sorry to disappoint you but my hopes for this season haven't been dashed at all. I had hoped that we might finish in the top 8 and qualify for Europe and we are still in with a good chance of doing that.

From what I read of Worzel hopes at the beginning of the season, you expected to get promoted, and hoped to win League 2. There is no doubt about it, your hopes have not only been dashed, they have been destroyed.

[Grannie64]

My only expectation this year was a higher finish than last year, hopefully job done anything else would have been a bonus. Even early on I could not see it lasting as I have realistic view of the squad we have, it's still two or three players short of a real challenge against the top half of the table. Disappointed with the result Saturday but there is always next year.
Hopefully you have the Skrill to look forward to, but you may just survive for another season.
Any expectation must be tempered with reality, hat a lot you Skates have a tenuous grasp of, as a colleague of mine who has a season ticket of pain to derelict shed in Portsmyth openly admits you have a sh!t team playing sh!t football and if you escape relegation it will be a bonus.

[st_bangkok]

The opening post could not be more wrong. Firstly we were never going openly for the CL. Secondly it was clear we did not want to win the cup and MP has even gone on record saying he does NOT want to qualify for the EL. So not sure exactly how our hopes have been dashed.:?

Sadly bang you confirm Saints history in a single post.No ambition apart from survival. :(

[kernow]

Saints' youth development policy refutes the "no of ambition apart from survival" accusation.

Even if the best talent gets poached it demonstrates sustainability if nothing else.

Ambition at the cost of self survival?
Ambition at the cost of the survival of others ? The Pompey Way ?

No thanks.I'd give up following football and take up DIY and gardening.

If you really had a football conscience you would have given up years ago. The game is not about football anymore, not anywhere, grabbing what you can is the way of things now, our history beats yours and unless sfc can show a better way then you cannot take any moral highground.

[kernow]

You talk of history and beating us and being better than us, or is it only us ? You lot think you're the best ! It's well documented.

I live in hope that there is a better way and no wish to moralise.

Anyway, shouldn't you be setting light to the galley !?

Not so much about being better or beating you, more about how we go to extremes, we could never be accused of waiting around whereas you seem to waste every great opportunity you get.

The master of pointless drivel, carry on believing your team is better due to your boom and bust attitude. You are a sh!t team playing in the 4th tier of English football that is not going to change over night.

Based on what, exactly ? One FA Cup victory in living memory, closely followed by an embarrassing and humiliating slide into oblivion ? I think you've been taken in by your own deluded and desperate hype, fella..

I'll happily take our one cup win (well within my living memory) and our position in the top half of the Premier League, with our UEFA4* stadium, our elite academy and our bright future over your 'extremes' any day of the week..

Just 5 yrs ago we were a good team winning another trophy whilst you were watching the telly dreaming of our fortune, now we languish whilst you have it all apart from what really counts. WE "EXTREME" while you are cozy in an empty bed.

5 years ago your were an over paid team punching above your weight, unable to fairly pay your way, who managed to win silverware.And just like last time failure to invest in infrastructure has resulted that within that five years you have collapsed to verge of extinction which is still a possibility, especially if things do not improve. Currently those Portsmyth fans who are subjecting themselves to utter dire football week in week are the only thing keeping the club afloat. But if it doesn't improve how long will it last, one or two seasons. Will they allow the club to rebuild properly or will they demand more boom and bust?

[OhWell]

"We have highs and lows while you barely flatline"

Classic portsmyth and complete and utter bullsh!t.

Pompey's highest high in the last sixty years is just 8th (once, in 2008). Nearly all of the rest of those years have been spent struggling at the bottom of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th divisions. With the exception of the one little blip (your cheating phase), the last sixty years have been one long low for you. You are perennial bottom dwellers.

Meanwhile, this will be the tenth year of those sixty that Saints have finished in the top eight in the country.

The truth is Saints are regularly near the top while Pompey are perennial bottom dwellers. Portsmouth - the club that barely exists.

Can we do nearest the pin?

Before a ball was kicked this season I think the mood of Saints fans on here (and I know mine was) went something like this

Improve on last season, Stay clear of any relegation issues, Stay around top ten.

... and on the dark side?

Play off's at least, Promotion, We are going to pi55 this league.

So who is nearest the pin?????

re: How many will be at FP after today's shambles...
I've missed the last seven home games. The football is absolutely dire and I refuse to waste any more emotion and time going to FP to see that absolute crap.

I may pop back once before the end of the season to say farewell to the friends on the North stand. But renew the season tickets - no chance. Twenty years of attendance are about to end.

Oh, I reckon at least a couple more years in Division 4 before many years in Division 3. Football nothingness for years and you can count me out.

It makes me happy that we got something out of the mess caused by people who had no concern for the welfare of PFC, something outside the control of fans i might add. Do you think that our situation would be any different without that cup win?
The fans of Pompey have earned that 'blinkered trophy'.
