A Portsmouth fans prospective

I have long been a fan of Newcastle United as my 'second' club and whilst I have only watched them of late on the TV, I have been to st.James Park to follow Portsmouth there. Newcastle have always been important to me ever since the days of Micky Quinn and more recently when we demolished the Toon 4-1 on your own patch in about 1/2 an hour I think! The last time I visited your ground I left Fratton station in Portsmouth on the 5-24 am train and got there just in time for kick off, not even time for a beer and a joke or two with you friendly geordie folk.

You guys have made a very impressive start to the new Premiership season and are flying high, despite the sale of the magnificent Andy Carrol whom I rated highly. With good honest and hard working performances coming from quite frankly new and not well recognised players do you think your challenge at the top of the table can be sustained or will you need an injection of cash from your owner to climb even higher and maybe into European contention for next season?

Your neighbours are however I fear on a downward slide , will Steve Bruce last until Christmas or will he the first of many to lose his Premiership job?

Any thoughts my black & white stripey friends?

 

thanks for the compliments. I hope Portsmouth can make it back up to the prem sometime soon

 

re; staying around the top of the table - 6th, 7th is possible if we are extremely fortunate and dont suffer any injury crises. Cant see it happening. Will probably finish anywhere between 8th and 10th. Depends on what happens transfer wise in january

re; challenging Europe next season - depends on what happens transfer wise in january and february

re; dirty mackems - lets hope they keep Brucey and therefore continue to falter.

 

Nearly got my head taken off in the game you mention. The shots that didn't go in the net were whistling past my ears on both sides.

 

nice thread

 

So 9th then?

 

8th, 9th or 10th. Yes.

 

I didn't look to see it was you I thought it was some random new guy (I blame the avatar), gotta keep them in their place

 

Your hostility was not appreciated

 

Nice comments dude

 

Re: Andy Carroll - he left nigh on a year ago now. People need to get over it. Personally don't think we've ever really recovered from getting rid of Ruul Fox.
