where's wally?

[Houston_Blade]

Remember when folk used to argue the toss with that Brighton fan on here, that McBurnie was better than Maupay?

I don’t think anyone actually believed it though, I’ve have had Maupay any day. It was just banter with him apart from the odd deluded soul.

 

[Old Programme seller]

The way we play Maupay wouldn’t have worked here either we did need a forward (probably why we have so many now as we can’t find a good one) but we can’t find a regular goal scorer it was a weak point as well as having a high quality central midfielder and (being greedy) a decent replacement for Duffy hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Yeah but that’s because that Brighton fan was a knob.

Also it was hilarious when McBurnie scored the winner against Brighton, our seagull mate soon disappeared for a while after that

He seems to have a general attitude problem, which we see off the field but also in the way he plays on it. In his first season, Wilder had to keep shouting at him constantly to get him to close players down, and it worked. He busted a gut and looked impressive in flashes. He doesn't seem to want to give 100%, and I assume from his general lack of chances that this continues in training. Nowadays, when he does get some time, he spends half of it wrestling with the CB (bit like Darius Henderson but doesn't want to get his shirt dirty) but not in a way he'd be prepared to actually have a fight. He saves that for children.

Darius Henderson? You've forgot the real master of trying it on a bit, but shitting yourself if the defender actually wanted to give it a go. Step forward Dave Kitson. The mardiest, most cowardly cheating shyster we've ever had.........

The lad he punched was 21, only 3 years younger than McBurnie.

Christ. Now there's a memory that won't fade in a hurry

Was him in that shit capitulation against his old team mates at Fratton Park. Everyone, including United fans, were laughing at him. Mind you, we played like fucking lettuces that day and Pompey, newly bestowed with some sort of crowdfunding initiative and already relegated, picked us up and wiped their balloon knots clean with the team. People talk about certain games where we have simply looked appalling from front to back but that day we were shocking. It's the only game I have left before the final whistle (with the exception of the crafty 2-1 win in the late eighties at Fratton where it looked like we were all gonna get stabbed)

The 4-0 defeat at Swansea in the last match of the season in 2011 was as shite a performance as I've ever seen. Can't be arsed doesn't begin to describe it. Stephen Quinn put in a candidate for our worst ever midfield performance that day. That was until Hammond showed up a few years later....
Went to Fratton when we won 3-0 in '85 (or maybe '86?). They were top of tier 2 and expected to piss it. Was like the fuckin' Wild West outside after the match......

The 3-0 was in 1985-6 during our October/November purple patch when we were briefly second. Portsmouth had up to that point played 7 home games and won all 7 without conceding a goal.

The wretched streets of Fratton, North End and Milton are indeed where the scum and villainy hang out. Certain pubs around there are just like the Mos Eisley cantina, where to get home, you need a fast, Y-Class Carillian starship, a louche, handsome, waistcoated pilot and his overgrown pet dog to blast your way out of there.

By the time you get home mind, you may find Sheffield a boulder strewn wasteland.

On my only visit there in 1998, the day the linesman got knocked out after Tracey got sent off, as we were walking out of the (then uncovered) away end the local cro-magnons were throwing stones and bricks at us from the path behind that end. 30 or 4 yards away at the exit, there were dozens of police doing nothing.

We were still drinking in Winchester at 2:20. Fast car, park on a roundabout, got in 10 mins late just in time to see the 1st goal go in. Edwards I think......

I was at that match. My son (now 34) and his buddy were mascots. Good old Mick Rooker.

My son's buddy's dad, a fackin' Palace fan, came along, horrified his spawn was running out with a Blades kit on. He regarded me as some sort of child-groomer because of this and although me and him are good mates, he was less than pleased, or charitable with firstly his issue in anything else than red and blue and secondly being surrounded by 'bad speaking nowvern maaahnkies'. When Trace ran out and handled it he was 'Get the caaahnt orf!' and when Trace finally marched, having been dobbed in by Mr Flag, he was larfing at me. Then that giant cunt from Brighton ran up the touchline and sparked out the lino, and he turned to me and said, 'See? Fackin' told you you lot were caaaahnts!'

Of course, he then realised that he was in and amongst the 'nowvern maaaahnkies' and was likely gonna get slap when we filed out later.

Caaaaaaahnt

We had a perfectly serviceable forward in Sharp who had just scored 23 in 40 matches to fire us to promotion. Would he have set the PL alight? Possibly not. Would he have got 6 goals or nore if given a good run? I don't doubt he would have.

You question the wisdom in spending 17m on a player who finished no better than him in the scoring charts.

Same with Robinson, especially when you've seen where he plays best and correlate that with how we play.

In hindsight not buying should have been the conclusion. Madine, if he wanted a shithouse would have been available for a fraction of the cost.

We certainly didn't need six strikers if we had any sort of plan.

Also, Freeman's inactivity allowed him to get fat and sidelined but when he came he was never fully embraced. It just seemed a good idea to get him without seemingly having much of a plan for him. Why he was sent to Forest was bizarre. He should have been replacing Lunny who we should have been pushing out the door at all costs. Maybe he wouldn't have regressed so much if he'd have been used? Certainly sending him out then finding yourself short of midfielders and having to use Ampadu there was poor.

 

[Stu_Blade]

The goal against Southampton in the cup this season was impressive especially against a keeper the size and strength of Forster but one good finish doesn't make a good striker. Not seen anything else this season, least with Brewster he has had the chance of being able to get match experience with U23s. As long as McBurnies clear attitude problem isn't having an impact on the squad if so ship him out on loan either way would take the next offer that came in just to free up the wages would be a good start .

 

[Bladesman]

Remember when folk used to argue the toss with that Brighton fan on here, that McBurnie was better than Maupay?

It was the most pointless argument considering Moorpay never wanted to come here and wanted to live closer to France. It did seem justified when McBurnie scored against them and we still left the PL having not lost to Brighton.

The fact that the sad twat of a Brighton fan keeps coming back here to go on the windup shows how boring things are down in Brighton.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

This fraud has cost us at least £22,000,000. The transfer fee, signing on fee, wages. Just let that sink in. For, what is it, seven goals?? Keith Edwards could score that now and he’s 63. I’m sick of his couldn’t care less attitude, laughing and joking on the bench when we’re getting shit on 3-0, laughing and joking with the opposing teams subs after they’ve just scored, drunk driving, picking fights with kids, acting like a fucking nob at Swansea matches, Enough’s enough. He’s just taking the piss with the club and fans. Lack of effort boils my fucking piss.

Being so decrepit that even Scotland fans loathe the daft cunt.

 

[petcharlie]

He wants to spend less f--cking time on social media and more time on the training ground sorting his pathetic goal scoring record out.

All I remember about Henderson is that he was pretty good when he signed but then spent the next season literally wrestling with CBs. Much more interested in doing that than scoring a goal.

Some how he netted 20 goals did go old Hendo and still playing now!

He always reminds me of something out of goldie lookin chain- that shit Welsh spoof hip hop ‘band’. Like a caricature.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Sounds like he’s had the shitty end of the COVID stick.

Hope you’re better soon lad.

 

[Oreyt]

McBurnie not in the squad again Sunday... Anyone know what's up with him this time?

Caught covid for the 36th time this season? dropped? injured fighting with a lamp post? retired?...

Poor lad... hope he had the sense to get the vaccine, sounds like loads of efl players haven't bothered
