Best Of
Re: Match Day Thread: Poemsmouth
Our best season in years
But all we currently hear is fears
Low to go, Kone to go
But Bloomy going would arguably be the biggest blow.
We've brought in some Danish fella
Loads of gasroom blaggers pretending they know he's stellar
I hope they're right
We really need his might
Otherwise the gasroom is gonna be an ugly sight
With glasshalf empty leading the "woe is us" tales
Even though at 2nd in the league the wind should be in our sails.
Midlander speaks with such authority on all things blue
But I can't really recall many situations he's called true
Frequent stander switches between high and low
He tells us his "group" all back his flow
@Shev , @micra and @Wendoverman give us a more grounded feeling
Personally in a sea of ranters, I find them healing.
So on we go to tonizzy
I fancy a Wycombe win. Let's get bizzy!
Re: Match Day Thread: Huddersfield
When you have Kone, for all his hold up play, you want him in the box with crosses coming in. When he is out wide, holds it up, lays it off to Fred and stays there to receive it back again it tends to come to nothing. I think once in the match a quick ball came into the box with Kone centrally placed. Keeper got it. Do it 10 times a game though and he’s going to score or someone else is. Udoh, Lubala, Vokes.
If Sadlier isn’t back soon then wide players who can get a cross in are needed. Sadly this doesn’t seem to be Fred or GMac.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I love King Kone and Matty...but I still think both having had only half of an excellent season would be a risk for any club to invest in them.
I'm not saying it would not work out for them if someone wanted to take that shot, I think they are both destined for big things, but I would imagine most owners will wait until the end of the full season to see the big picture.
Of course, I would never have signed up Rooney after Birmingham, so I realise I know nothing.
Re: Match Day Thread: Poemsmouth
I'm excited to see
Our new signing from Molde
I just pray that this time
The coffee's not cold
Re: Match Day Thread: Poemsmouth
We had a player named Morley
Who left and so we played poorly
We signed a Dane
To help our form regain
But we still miss him sorely
Re: The definitive ex-player news thread
Surely the starting XI has been submitted to the ref before the warm up starts? Great story tho!
Re: Match Day Thread: Portsmouth (FA CUP)
The overseas TV deal has happened because FA Cup matches have been bundled with the Premier League for overseas broadcasting rights. TV companies that want to show Premier League games are now contractually obliged to show some FA cup games as well. That's why we have the ridiculous situation of less than a third of the cup games kicking off at 3pm Saturday.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I don’t think he has a release clause but I don’t think he has much of a contract left so the club won’t be able to ask much if other clubs come calling.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
What @eric_plant said.
I must admit I have to push myself more and more to get out to evening or rescheduled kick-offs already and I love live footy. I think if Matt did appear to get shafted after this season I may have to rethink. I know PL teams could give a stuff about fans, for even if clubs like Forest and Ipswich price out regulars, they will have people willing to come in and fill the gaps at the drop of a hat. Lose the goodwill of a thousand die-hards at teams (and attendances) of our size and you've really got to pull out the stops with signings, results and performances to get people in.
