Football 2012-2013

Another last game of the season another relegation party, another team and their fans clapping the Pompey masses out of the ground.

Throughly enjoyed Shrewsbury, lovely town good for the ale. The fans to the right of the away end had a good bit of banter, the rest were silent.

Shame our second half fightback wasnt quite good enough.

Out of town football grounds shouldn't be allowed.

Poor showing towards RVP imo.

If a player had done an RVP and gone from Pompey to Scum in the same circumstances a few boo's would be the least of his worries.

United booed Tevez didn't they?

[pink_triangle]

I wouldnt say rvp screwed arsenal, it was completely different to Campbell screwing spurs. I thought it was one of those deals where .both teams benefited. I thought rvp treated arsenal with respect (unlike nasri) and deserved respect back. Have heard some arsenal fans saying they would have challenged for the title if they had kept rvp, I find this difficult to believe.

just got back from Arsenal. Honestly what do people expect. A player we looked after for 7 years when he was injury prone, has a great year and then ups and leaves and we are expected tp applaud him. BTW-I applauded Man U on to the pitch (as its the right thing to do and whether i like it or not they are the champions) as well as the majority of gooners. It stopped as soon as he came on the pitch though. I know he left to win trophies and has been proved right but it doesnt mean i have to applaud him.

Would you have felt differntly if he had gone to one of the big teams on the continent?[/quote

in all honesty-Yes. It hurt that he went to Man Utd. I could have handled City as i could have convinced myself he had gone for the money. I Know why he went and if I was in his position I would have done the same as a player. I'm not a player though-I'm someone who has watched my club for 35 years so logic , common sense and reason goes out the window.

If i was in your shoes I'd have felt the same (even if he had gone to man city id have booed him more) I assume he spouted the usual footballer thing 'i love it here' , 'spiritual home' ' love the fans' sort of stuff as well?

Treating fans with respect, especially having been at the club for 8 years and playing always up his "gooner" credentials, would have meant if he wanted to leave to have a better chance of winning a title then he should have gone to another country.

[strummer77]

Tevez didn't give man utd 10 years great service, can only think of tevez and ince who get a bad reception.

Say what you like about utd fans but we know how to welcome back old players.

No problem with bale winning player of the year. Still think its silly a player can win player and young player in the same year. Especially when in relation to modern football bale isn't really young and he has already won the senior award anyway.

[Sparticus]

Arsenal fans booing rvp today was rather bemusing, the lad clearly loved Arsenal, but he wanted to win trophies, and when arsenal aren't in a position to push for the league, moving on was the only option. I do feel for arsenal fans though, even before rvp going to united, as soon as city got the money they spent no time buying up Toure, Nasri, Adebayor.

Tevez and united was a joke though, united offered identical terms to city and Tevez chose to fuck them off with a billboard, no class.

Carrick has the most forward passes of any centre mid in Europe this season. Hes played nearly every minute and barely put a food wrong. Rio has been exceptional. Maybe his best ever season for Utd.

Agree on Lloris PT. De Gea's flappy hands start to the season rules him out for me. Good to see him prove everyone wrong though.
