Matthew Le God Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Facts blud It is a nonsense to use those stats. What point are you trying to prove? If you hadn't noticed, that season Saints were playing at League One grounds in 2010/11, most of which give smaller allocations than those in the Championship. The away average is more telling that the season high, and even that should be taken with a pinch of salt. Best fans in the world' date=' only turn up when they are in the EPL. iirc.

G-Man11 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Worst referee ever tonight. Still FUMING at his performance, not even for giving Palace a pen (which was very soft but one that is sometimes given) but just for seemingly being utterly biased in Palace's favour. Amount of time he gave Palace free-kicks for no apparent reason to stop our attacks was criminal, continually allowed their defenders to completley manhandle our strikers yet gave their strikers FK's for the slightest bit of contact from our defenders and allowed Palace to blatantly time waste with no repercussions from the 4th minute. Were a fair few goalmouth scrambles where it looked like we might score or our player went down under a push and he just gave Palace a free-kick every time. He also bottled sending off a Palace player already on a yellow who attacked McSheffrey during a stoppage in play. So yeah am furious. Other than that probably should have won tonight but Palace got a soft penalty after 3 mins and the time-wasted/protected what they had for the rest of the game. Oh well at least we gained a point on Forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it's probably more damaging for you, I don't think Warnock has any hope of us getting into the play offs (or he's just saying that to get the players motivated to prove him wrong.) It's good to see us conceding just 1 goal in 3 games though, don't recall that ever happening under Grayson Just need to start scoring, obviously.

DJB_1990 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Bless him. Hes fast and strong, an ok finisher and has decent enough technique. Just doesnt have a brain in his nut. Cheers for sending us Freddie. It couldn't have gone much better for him really, blasting in a debut goal from 25 yards out. He looks a good player and I hope that he can continue and bang in a few more goals for us and help us to stay up. It was a great result, winning at Forest and it's about time I saw us win an away game after a long wait. We played pretty well but made hard work out of getting the win (as ever) by conceding with quite a bit of time left and making the last 20 minutes a bit nervy. Can't be picky though, we had to win especially after Bristol City won as well. We have a chance if we can continue to play like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kccircle Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Stuart Atwell - probably the worst refereeing performance I have ever seen tonight. The man just does not have the balls to make a decision. Players tonight got away with murder at times. He'd whistle and they wouldn't come for that chat, they'd throw the ball away and he'd ignore it. On a positive we had a ball kicked out of our ground for what is possibly only the third time I can recall ever. The slick passing we have played for much of the season fell apart tonight as we retaliated to Leeds' hoof ball with our own variety of hoof ball. We just cant score and should have sold Cameron Stewart to Leicester when we had the chance. His head has certainly been turned. Have no idea why Barmby wont consider a striker on loan to put more pressure on Fryatt. Saying all that, pleased with how the season has panned out. Still have a chance of sneaking a play off spot. We play some cracking football at times and McKenna has to be the steal of the season and in my eyes a certainty to win our player of the season.

You know after winning that game we were like 3 pts off the play-offs without about 11 games to go, we subsequently failed to win another game all season and finished 19th. The following season we were 4th at Christmas time after we won 10 of our first 20 games, including 4 away (which I missed ), but we then subsequently managed 1 more win under Boothroyd until he was sacked in late March. We finished the season playing well under Thorn and won a few home games plus the Pompey away game but we drew a lot of games we should have won and had a final league position of 19th again. Yeah and then this season has been just an utter joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to be very poor away from home, (away wins were rare under Ternent/SC/Laws) we got the odd away wins under Coyle in the Championship, and it was amazing to start seeing us win away at Charlton/Wolves etc. But we still picked up more points at home under Coyle, and we nearly went all season without an away win in the Premier League, untill we beat Hull near the end of the season. But now under Eddie Howe, we are very much spoilt for away wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheer Class Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Football League trying their best to sort out their **** up Administrator Trevor Birch has revealed that his efforts to get around £800,000 to keep the club afloat this season have been successful.In a statement the PKF partner said the money would probably allow Pompey to finish out the season but that they were ‘not out of the woods yet’. He said: ‘I am pleased to confirm that there have been some positive developments at Portsmouth Football Club over the last few days. ‘I have held constructive talks with The Football League, who have been incredibly supportive. ‘The League will now resume payment of the club’s Basic Award monies which are normally paid on a monthly basis to all Football League clubs. ‘For clubs in the Championship, they amount to around £200,000 a month. The League has confirmed that we will receive the four outstanding payments for the current season as and when they fall due, subject to any outstanding balances owed to other clubs. ‘This money will go a long way towards plugging the club’s financial gap and allowing us to complete the season. ‘This is clearly a very positive step but I wish to emphasise that we are not out of the woods yet. ‘The additional money buys us more time but it does not solve the club’s problems and it does not guarantee the club’s survival. ‘But thanks to this and other initiatives currently being considered by the joint administrators, which may include further player loans, we should be able to get to the end of the season. ‘PKF’s over arching objective is to find a buyer before the money runs out. ‘Portsmouth Football Club needs the continued support of the local community if it is to remain in business for the long term. From what I’ve seen over the past few weeks, I know that the fans, staff and players will give it their all. ‘I am grateful to The Football League for their efforts in what has undoubtedly been a difficult situation for them. I would also like to thank the PFA, who have been playing an important role behind the scenes throughout the administration process. ‘There is still much to do but I am working hard to achieve a successful conclusion for the club.’ A Football League spokesman said: ‘As in all insolvency situations, The Football League is focused on the ultimate survival of the club for its supporters and the wider community. ‘We will now continue working with the administrator to achieve a successful re-structuring of the club.’ Nick Cusack, a PFA senior executive, added: ‘The PFA has been working constructively with the joint administrators and has been liaising with the Football League and the Premier League to try to ensure that Portsmouth gets through this very difficult period and emerges as a stronger and more viable football club. ‘The players have played their part in accepting deferrals on their wages and have recently gone eight weeks without receiving any pay at all. ‘In that time, the players have shown great commitment to the club and the supporters, and will continue to give their all in order to get Portsmouth back on its feet and stable once more.’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
