I would never have signed for Portsmouth when i was at the height of my playing career, even if I was super talented and they were top of the Premier League and I had been capped 50 times for England and they were the richest club in the country and could pay me the highest wage in football history, I would have turned them down
Original lyrics. You've done me wrong Your time is up You took a sip (Just a sip) From the devil's cup You broke my heart There's no way back Move right out of here, baby, go and pack your bags
Just who do you think you are? Stop actin' like some kind of star Just who do you think you are? Take it like a man, baby, if that's what you want
'Cause I'm moving on up You're moving on out Moving on up
First draft New Lyrics
Youve done us wrong Your time is up You grassed us up you did us wrong So we sing this song so we sing this song Move right out of here, baby, go and pack your bags
Just who do you think you are Just Skates from Fratton Park In our shadow since 1962 Take it like a man baby thats because your called the blue few
'Cause we're moving on up You're moving on down Moving on up
Ill start off with Barry Horne, his first appearance at the Dell was not good for us, he scored for Pompey as they won 2-0, their only League win here in the last 63 years, indeed they have only won three times in Southampton in the 105 years or so we have both been League clubs.
Barry crossed the divide in 1988/89 season after Pompey had been relegated the previous season, he went on to play 151 games for the club scoring 3 goals with none being finer than his injury time equaliser in the FA Cup against Bolton in the FA Cup a rocket from the half way line and he then scored the winner in extra time.
Not sure I would describe him as a very good manager,
His first season saw a poor start and a poor finish to the season but a nice run in the middle where he won a few games to get a 12th place finish.
His second season saw what became known as the great escape season only 3 wins & 5 draws in the first half of the season covering 20 games, with 5 games to go were all but down but a comeback against Saints to draw 3-3 launched a 5 game unbeaten run to the season with 3 wins & 2 draws & we stayed up 4th from bottom
1999/2000 saw another poor first half of the season with Jones ensconced in allegations against him for his time as a care worker, he put himself before the club and refused to step down, despite the fact that he would probably have been sacked if Lowe hadn't felt some sense of sticking by him due to his situation.
Glenn Hoddle then came in and turned the season around .
He underperformed with a decent squad, he didn't get us relegated but not a very good manager for us
Firstly Dobbin is out of form as he hasn't been used in the position that he was at Preston, as a central striker or playing centrally just behind a central striker as you mention
Here he has just been used as a left winger., why sign him if you are not going to play him properly.
You are right the way we play we do need a proper centre forward, but at times you have to adapt as a manager and play differently and this could be one of those times.
The club should not have needed to sign a 3rd centre forward, they just needed to sign a quality 2nd one, this article would not be needed to be written if Divin Mubama had impressed.
So is your answer to stick to playing a "Proper" centre forward, which will be Mubama who is out of form and playing with no confidence.
The two choices if Larin isn't fit is hope Mubama comes off or do something different and look to play through the channels to Dobbin
In 1996 the Pompey players admitted that they literally s*** themselves coming down the stairs in the Dell tunnell as they could hear the noise which ratched up a notch or two when they came out
Home has to be the 1987/88 game in the then First Division, they were duly relegated at the end of the season, but 3rd January they came to the Dell and won 2-0 with just about the only two shots they had on goal, we missed a few sitters.
Away I can't think of much worse than the 4-1 drubbing on 24th April 2005 when we really knew that our time was up, we just didn't turn up on the day, we were 4-0 down after just 27 minutes, as we were held in after the game their bell end with the Bell stayed in the ground till he was the last Pompey fan still there to wave and ring his bell at us from the Fratton End
Home for me has to be either 27th September 1975 when we slaughtered them 4-0 .
Away is the FA Cup tie in 1984, if you aren't going to slaughter them, then you beat them in the last minute, made sweeter by the fact that it was in time added on for them hitting Mark Dennis on the head with a coin thrown from the North Stand and as the ball went in for Steve Moran you can clearly hear them singing on the Match of the Day footage, "scummers scummers here we come" as they thought they had the replay
