    Yes something like that <laugh>

    Lambert is different because he's a big scouse bruiser I bet Sharp will be likewise but our southern fairies go missing in the winter.

    Good to see you up and about again fatandfunky
    I thought they had closed the Pompey board down because you were (pig) sick along with the other Very Blue Few
    What was it like to wander around a real Football Club and see everything in place and paid for ?
    Oh hang on i am doing your club a deserve, You paid for your Trophies didn't you. In fact we still don't know the total cost yet do we ?
    Have you decided to change your colour to Red and White before you get embarrassed any more by the name Portsmouth Football something or another.

    Oh Possum, you're SO bitter. Come on down to Fallingdown Park one day and I'll show you round the trophy room (I don't think it's been pillaged yet) Then you can see some real trophies <ok>

    We might be down and battered- and who knows, even liquidated soon but what a proud history. Nothing like it elsewhere along the South Coast my friend. In over 125 years of trying there's not a lot in your little cabinet is there?

    If we didn't have a single trophy, I'd still be proud to be a Saints fan. You are living in the past (for which you are still paying the price)..we have a future.

    You should always be proud of your club no matter whether you have achieved trophy success through the cost of War or the cost of fools money. Well done funky, your club is respected through out football.

    So what will happen to your trophys if/when you go out of business. Will you still brag about your League titles for ever after. You cup exploits was it worth the carnage you are now going through just to say you won the FA cup and lasted a couple of years in the top division......How many was it....4/5........um....doesn't stand up to 27 years straight off does it. So what suddenly brings you over to the saints board stirring the **** FFD......Do you really want to go down this road ..........

  14. Yes, FFD have you assumed 'stirring duties' from SB3?

    Bet you had a tear in your eye when you went for your work's do at SMS.

    If I lived in the house Godders described, I would get the builders in. Proper expensive ones too, no cowboys.

    no matter how bad the state of the house at least knocking down the house you could rebuild because you own the land otherwise you might have to put a shop on it

    I'm sure the massive hole in Godders' argument has been pointed out, but I'd just like to reiterate. Cracks in the wall have a sure-fire method of being fixed, however a football team low on confidence and on poor form has no sure-fire method that could be applied and "fix" the problem.

    Poor analogy there Mr. Windsor.

    OK, I will play, although I know little about metaphorical architecture.

    If my house had these faults which St Godders describes then naturally I would try to get them fixed. I couldn't get them all fixed at once of course, and you know how it goes. The tiler who was going to come in Saturday, suddenly falls ill on the tuesday before. Then the roofer, the best roofer in the division, loses his balance, swings his arm and ends up suspended from his ladder. Well, you are not going to see him for a couple of weeks, are you? You do get in another roofer to do a makeshift repair and you board up the broken window which looks horrible, but until the new glazier who is transfering his business down south arrives, that will have to do.

    It's a bit frustrating and your cheeky neighbour says it looks tatty, but all you can do is say that you have everything in hand. There is plenty of time and signs that things are coming together and the missing tradesmen are coming back are there. The project manager is an excellent chap. It will all come together. Although I got the impression from earlier comments of yours, that all the houses in Swaythling need a bit of TLC!;)
