Well, that's the first time I've told someone or everyone to **** off. Not my style usually but there are too many dickhead posts. As said by a few sensible people on here, it's about improving, Pompey only lost 2 home-games last season, we came back from Internationals in which Gerrard shouldn't even have played, etc. etc. etc. The players out there had the potential to score goals and they didn't, who ****ing cares now, next game please.

But this incredibly pathetic doom-mongering, this constant bickering, 'Rafa got it wrong' and then coming out with the patronising armchair comments such 'Rafa can do no wrong' bollocks is ****ing annoying. People are so far removed from football management, which is why we're here and Rafa is getting on with it.
So ****ing what he didn't choose to play Torres from the start, so ****ing what he didn't play Gerrard, had Gerrard been injured in the first half everyone would be slating Rafa for bringing him back too soon and not giving him rest. They're not machines, we're in 4 competitions, we've got 60 odd games to play and Rafa is managing the team. He might always say 'We think only of the next game' but I bet you top dollar he's got several plans for the whole season sorted.

I just find this aggression towards Rafa and the team incredulous. It's fair enough to have a go but it just goes on and on and on, and what is the worst are hypothetical arguments 'What if...' and THEN having a huge ****ing rant although the scenario the rant's about didn't even come into existence. It's ****ing boring and a lot of times people expect every game to be like the Derby thrashing, and all fine and dandy. Get a grip, we're 5 games into the season, we've got a game in hand and we're 2 points off Arsenal with a real REAL chance of going all the way this season.

But at the first hickup ***** come out dishing it left right and ****ing centre, I wonder if those type of humans ever enjoy anything in life. I'm taking this season as it comes and I'm just full of hope and I never give up. If I'd have told anyone at the same stage last season the position we're in with the squad we have etc. everyone'd be biting my ****ing hand off. People just forget to see the big picture of where we're going and then just quabble over bull****. 1pt more than the corresponding fixture from last season, so ****ing well sit back and enjoy the ride a bit.

What, ****ing, ever. Some people will never change and don't give me the 'I have a right to my opinion', that's fair enough but the negativity and apocalyptical-type outlooks after 5 ****ing games this season really takes the piss.

Anyways, I can't post in the Library it's ****ing **** and it's ****ing as bad in here at times, it's people like fredo, sonsadesert, Glove etc. who make me come back because it shows not all is ****ing lost. And don't come up with the 'just being realistic', there is objective realism which is ample and then there's also subjective realism which is just another opinion skewed by one's own general negative outlook on many more things than just football.

****it, whatever

I'm as calm as you are.

Years ago on Koptalk Mumsafan hit the nail on the head, it went something along these lines:

"Back in the days before internet, we went to the match on a Saturday, talked about it on a Sunday and by Monday it was forgotten and we looked forward to the next (midweek/weekend game, end of story. Nowadays with the internet it just goes on and on and on all week"

I didn't even bother looking in here yesterday because I knew what it would be like: people bellowing overstatement with unjustified spite and negativity.


It's best if you accord the respect it deserves and take it with nothing but a pinch of salt.

amazing how one word can shoot your whole point of view in the foot

[Maxiedge]

I'm telling ya, Gerrard and Torres were only 70-80% match fit!

Sure, there were some nice moments from them when they came on as subs but they would've been largely ineffective if played from the start. The plan was always to bring them on later in the game to finish the game off.

Nearly worked, unlucky Rafa...

[Craig_H]

Nearly worked, unlucky Rafa...

Oh yeah....we saved a point, by virtue of a penalty save and woeful Pompey finishing...real masterplan in action.

[Red Chilli]

Why can't we win every game?

Great post mate however I do have to bring you up on one thing - Fredo???? I mean ffs sean I wouldn't listen to a word that comes out of his chinese mouth

[Red Chilli]

It was a good post but I don't see why people aren't allowed to be disappointed by dropping points to a no-mark club like Pompey without being called *****.
It wouldn't have been as disappointing IF Rafa had gone for the points, but he seemed to tamely surrender the points with his team selection and that isn't the mentality of champions.

I reserve the right to be pissed off by this especially when our rivals gain points on us as a result of this.
