How good a signing is this lad proving to be ? he's played in practically every position down the right-hand side and he's top scorer.
Nothing seems to faze him ...

Yep.
And many were disappointed with the signing in July
ffs Matt, you don't help matters at times
Sometimes you don't have to gloat so much thoughWhat? People weren't. If you find the Davies & Porter thread you'll see I thought he was a good signing and many didn't.
What's the problem? Is it - let's all pick bones out of everything Matt posts week or sumat?
Let's turn this website to the S24SU library shall we. Last time I checked it was a forum.

For a set piece specialist, 9 out of 10 of his corners are rubbish
Who's doing the apology thread?
Last time I checked it was a forum.
So by that, people ARE allowed to voice a different opinion at our poor performances in the shoutbox as like you said it is a forum after all. Irony.
No irony at all mate. Exactly how the argument started. Certain people didn't appreciate my opinion so resorted to name calling.
What I don't understand is that if you* have been proved wrong, rather than accept it and move on, people just get all stroppy and defensive and start throwing threats and abuse about. Surely if they have strong feelings about the opinion that they have raised, then the response should be to explain further or counter-argue back.
When somebody's comeback is to call me a name as opposed to argue the point, that automatically makes me think their point was incorrect.
*not you in particular.

The thing that annoyed me the other night was general comments regarding people who said our first 80 minutes weren't good enough that we weren't glad we went 3-2 ahead and that we were hoping we'd lose to back up our opinions - which is utter nonsense

It all came across as a bit antagonistic and condescending but it's all finished now so we can move on.
I am not defending Pommpey's manner, but as I understand your argument it is this "you were proved wrong about Blackman in 2012, therefore you are wrong about Higdon".
Not a great argument.
There was more to it than that. We were basically discussing how shit Higdon is/isn't. I then raised the point that he had been wrong about Nick Blackman before (in the shoutbox, during a game of which he later scored). I then got bombarded with abuse etc. for having a stupidly long memory.
"Matt's memory is long, what a geek" - now that is a good argument
No fickle about it, it doesn't change a jot that we were dogshit for 80 mins, and a better team than Colchester would have seen it out.
Ok, if your argument was "August/September is too early to judge a player, as we saw by the fact that people made an early negative judgment on Blackman in 2012 and were wrong", that is a a reasonable argument
Another thing i mentioned was that we weren't dogshit for 80mins. We dominated the 2nd half and they scored their 2nd against the run of play (by the sounds of it). We happened to score in the last 10 mins but that isn't to say it hadn't been coming before that.
P.S. I say "by the sounds of it" because like everybody in the shoutbox that night. We weren't there and had to listen to the radio or read foxy's tweets etc.
P.P.S Either foxy was being very biased in the 2nd half or Colchester didn't threaten much as pretty much every tweet was about United attacking.
