Gemmill 44513 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Is the one-man goal and assist machine Laurent "Wreckin' crew" Robert allowed to play in this one? Just wondering because I know there was some will he/won't he talk when he first went there. Incidentally, I haven't seen Portsmouth play this season, but with them sitting 17th in the table, wouldn't you think they'd give Robert a game so he could single-handedly pull them out of the mire? What's that? He HAS been playing? Oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 The papers are saying he can't play against us, which is good considering he's been involved in practically all the goals they've scored, as you'd expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsoldier 0 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 The only thing I expect from robert is a handful of exceptional goals lost in a season of petty, whining, pointing-the-finger-at-everybodyelse to explain his own lacklustre overall contribution as pompey slide out of the premier league. And I expect the pompey fans to be glad to see the back of him in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21395 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Well, well, Gemmill opens a thread about Robert, and the usual suspects come out of the woodwork to have a pop at him, despite him being by far Portsmouth's best player so far this season.

More to the point, he's the best player in a team who are rock-bottom - whoopie doo! Mind you, it's only late September - plenty of time for him to become bored and not give a shit which, lets face it, IS going to happen sooner rather than later.

If they beat us on Saturday they will leapfrog us, aren't you tempting fate a bit? You and Spongey seem to be forgetting that I never said that I put significance in Robert being Pompey's best player - I just think it is pretty ludicrous for Gemmill to imply their lowly league position is down to him alone, that's all. Robert's merits have been debated to death. However, despite (whatever you might think) an impressive start to the season, people who supported him have let the matter lie. But it seems the "haters" just can't resist having a pop, can they?

Craig 6682 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 He rarely gave 100% when wearing a Newcastle United shirt. A disgrace and an insult to the fans IMO.... They have ever right to have a go at him. If he gave 100% and was simply shite, it'd be a different matter. But we all know (even those who refuse to admit it) that most of the time he simply couldn't be arsed! Some people will think that it's merely coincidence that the two players who felt they were bigger than the club have moved onto teams who are currently below us in the league. I don't, I think it's poetic justice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 127 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 And then in the campaign where one was in and out of the side, and the other was out of the side in January, we slipped back to bottom-half mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all if they're are the difference between success and failure, then by definition both Blackburn and Portsmouth should finish the season above us....
