But it was in response to one of your nonsense threads. And then you look up all the scorers who come from a PO postcode or whatever. That's not a giggle. I'll keep out now as it is making me long for Boris and SOG's never ending political debate.

Vignal and Pericard though? If you get that wrong, what else may not be right?

It's all a giggle, it really is. OK I put in a couple of names who went to your club via another within a year or to, but easy mistake to make as we sold you a number of players at a similar time.

Most of the other stuff is spot on, but I have to have a little fun with Dirk the Loon

Nonsense threads!! I've started about one thread in six months.

The PO postcode players thread is obviously a bit different, and is a very serious thread.

That's her game plan, Dirk.

130 is one of two things:

A) Seriously challenged and in need of professional help, or;
B) A wind up merchant with too much time on her hands.

Either way 130's a gimp and not worthy of a response.

You should record on a time sheet the hours you put into researching our wonderful club then if the position of club historian comes up you should apply for it , many on here will vouch for the endless hours you have put in. It comes with a dapper uniform for you to wear.

All you need to do is study your own club, then check your rivals against it. So many of your fans used to go on the Pompey boards, that we know all the stuff they go on about. The rest is cut n paste.

Dave Juson is your top man. Slightly deluded, but your top man.

Not in the top ten here. Newcastle are being controlled, Villa, Leeds new to the league. It looks like you are not as big s you think you are,

I remember going to many games home and away when our supporters stood side by side with Pompey fans. The hatred and bile only began as they dropped down below us.

living in the past is not an ideal position to be in.

So the original link regarding wages had us 10th on £60m and now you have found a separate link with us in 11th on £45m.

One place hardly makes a difference, but somehow you think it is worth saying that because of that 1 place, we are not as big as we think.

Either way, our annual wage bill, depending on which link you believe, is either twice, or one and a half times the total (generous) value of your club - now that really does give you the perspective of size you so crave !!

The point is, it's not all about wage bills. There is no way that Soton is a bigger club than Newcastle, yet you are spending more on wages. Maybe Newcastle aren't spaffing millions on crap goalies. Leeds and Villa will eventually climb above you on that 'important table.

The point about size is how clubs operate when under the same circumstances. If Wednesday were to get to the PL and stay there, they would also overtake you, just like Forest and countless others.

Southampton were possibly the biggest they ever were 3 or 4 years ago, what did you achieve? 4 consecutive top 8 finishes, no bad to be fair, but that was as good as it got, with good player purchases and good management.

Several clubs have achieved much, much more, and several times. These are facts. And here is another fact, Soton just aren't as big as Everton, no matter how much you spin the facts.

Classic 130.....

He brings up wages as a sign of a big club - then loses the argument so dismisses wages as a sign of a big club, having been the one to mention it.

130 said
"There are about 12 clubs bigger than you in wages spent on players, and a huddle of about 7 or 8 clubs who spend around the same money."

Do you seriously think that if the following clubs all had 10 or more OK years in the PL, that almost all of them would be spending more money than you on wages?

Newcastle, Sunderland, Villa, leeds, Wednesday, Derby, Boro

And there we go a casual deflection on the subject matter and bingo we are in a new direction .

By the way that’s exactly what I’m saying and it sounds like you agree, as the clubs need to be good enough to survive for a long time.

Thanks again for backing my argument up

I stand by what I said, Ok I didn't state the tense correctly, but there are 12 clubs who are clearly bigger than your club, then you have clubs like Wednesday, Wolves, Derby, Leicester, WBA, Forest etc who are marginally bigger than you. That is fact. On size, you are probably a 20-25 size club, despite what some of you may think.
