Really the Terry story has been done to death in the papers and on TV. Isnt it time that we worried about England winning the world cup and got off his back. He is a top class player that we want to be in top class form when Africa comes. Only a thought. (FootballCynic writes: We've been looking for a straight man at FootballCynic HQ for some time.

Provided human resources.....LOL! I wonder if Vanessa is trying to get a whole back four. Rio next? Then Gary Neville - no, OK that is going too far.

How was the jam? (FootballCynic writes: Maybe, it's any man in a blue shirt? Now, where is David Mellor these days?)

I feel as though I am being picky here, Mr FC. Our Wayne's (we are talking Mr Bridge here not Master Rooney) Vanessa was never Mrs Bridge. She always remained Miss Personnel (or something similar), which presumably explains why she provided human resources to our erstwhile national leader. So, this means the Midas thing of touching a bridge means something far more worrying. Or, do you know more than you are letting on to, Mr FC? Time to adjust my SatNav, I feel - the aerial advantage one had Lady Knobhead sniggering over the jam she was making. (FootballCynic writes: You are, of course, quite right, Lord Knobhead. However, FootballCynic has recently been accused of bullying the staff at FootballCynic HQ, so he will not discipline the researcher who made this error in the usual way.)

Toll bridge n hospital ball had me falling off my chair. There must be a humpback bridge joke somewhere in there! (FootballCynic writes: Take care not to fall off your chair, Danielle. You don't want the legs taken from under you or to slip down the table)

Comment on Portsmouth's Premier Club

Dear me, Mr Football Cynic, I must remember not to place a comment after drinking so much wine. Did I really say that Portsmouth were 89th in my list of favourite clubs? As for 90, 91 and 92, I suppose it would have to be Leeds United, Chelsea and Norwich City. Norwich is still not forgiven for the theft of my rather nice Jaguar five years ago. Long live the King, of course! (FootballCynic writes: You must be one of the few to hate Norwich City so much. Up Pompeii. Long live etc.)

Lady Knobhead and I quaffed rather too much wine this evening. And like a magnet we found ourselves at your truly wonderful website. I have to say I have never liked Portsmouth and would welcome their departure more than most. I never applauded when they won the FA Cup and frankly when there are so many nice soouth coast towns if you had to pick one to go it would be Portsmouth. I never liked the pompey chimes or as Lady Knobhead calls it in her less than subtle way The Pompey Slimes. I suppose for some it is tough luck and one must say that a quick shout of Up Pompeii is the sort of thing one expects in these circumstances. Anyway of the 92, i put them around 89th. So, farewell Pompey and long live United Services Portsmouth as you so rightly say Mr Football Cynic. Long live The King (FootballCynic writes: FootballCynic did not say '"long live United Services Portsmouth", but would not disagree with the sentiment. Perhaps, you are confusing him with Micky Steele-Badger, who would sound more authoritative if he called himself Michael rather than Micky. Which clubs would you place 90th, 91st and 92nd out of interest? However, as you say, long live Marlon King )

seems that the match with Bridlington was a set back too......then the Hall Road game was different again....to be blunt and honest brodsworth players should stop hiding there talent and get them selves back on track, it can be done xx (FootballCynic writes: Fighting talk, Baby Blue. It does seem to be time for Brodsworth to move forward from their total of 2 points. Mind you, it means that the celebration will be even bigger when the win comes. Nostell Miners Welfare looks winnable this week)

Well a 3-0 loss to high=placed Hamble was not so good but we will be back. (FootballCynic writes: It sounds as though there will be some long faces in Ship & Castle tonight)

Football Cynic was the talk of the Ship & Castle last night. I think you should get over to here and do a full feature on us. You would be more than welcome in the S&C on a Friday night to debate the next day's tactics - ROFLMAO. (FootballCynic is used to be being the talk of the pubs in the Kings Road and around the Theatre of Dreams, but this is much better news. It sounds as though FootballCynic needs to get to the Ship & Castle sooner rather than later)

Yes, thank you for mentioning us at East Cowes Vics . Make sure you report our win this week! Come and see us play any time you want. (FootballCynic writes: News obviously travels fast on the Isle of Wight. FootballCynic is struggling to cope with all these invites but will do his best to get to see The Vics one day).
