I Quit Proud Of This Site!

FAF you choker, day before the season starts PMSL

Sorry to hear that Les i think that is just playing into the hands of morons that don't have the balls to have a go at running the site themselves but are happy to knock those that do.

lol no its the right time to quit! It gives the guy some time to sort stuff out, i'll still be posting on here

I think it's hilarious that you think your quitting is major Pompey news! Sums you up, with your "scoops". It was one big ego ride for you wasn't it? Steve C- who are the morons, those that complain about poor information, or the ones that assume that everything on here is gospel?

Les, thanks for all your time. Not a Pompey fan but this is one of the most enjoyable Vital sites going. All the best mate.

Good work Les "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more" Matthews. Enjoy the new season!

about time too

This is the best news I've heard this week. The only way is up for this site! Head held high - you must be joking. Hopefully this change in author will put a stop to the random, fanciful, fabricated jack-a-nories. Bye bye Les =)

bye mattso

Les, seriously, give it a rest, there is more than one person who find your 'journalism' beyond amateur. Get over yourself.

doodicus i know! Its probably split i'm like marmite lol

lol cheers mate, i've enjoyed it

Bye Les. Its been fun, but surely you understand where the criticism comes from. Hope your 'family issues' resolve themselves positively. Maybe give 'journalism' a rest for a bit though.

pompey4europe i just wish you had come direct to me with any problem! thanks for the family comments

Good luck with your wedding too!

as i said Les, i couldnt have run a site, good luck with the marriage

Sorry to hear you're going, Les. Good luck and make sure you hang around.

LoL Les its not pompey4europe is it ?

what is russ

yer good season i recon

haha get more abuse then lololol

all my favourites are here

Les, I know that when I check in to this site, there is invariably something new to read. If it is not all 100% accurate and contains some regurgitated material I don't mind as I might have missed it and can make my own judgements on what I read. If all football journalism had to be 100% accurate and devoid of the author's 'slant' on the subject, papers would be thin indeed. Those who take exception to what they read on this site have a simple choice. They can look elsewhere. If they have an issue, they should take it off-line, particularly with a site like this where people are free to post what they choose. You will never please everybody and I was saddened by the need that some had to gripe and score points and celebrate your giving up. This site clearly has many ardent Pompey fans who's main interest is to discuss whatever news or speculation there is and if it turns out to be ill founded, so what! From what I see that has not been through a desire for self promotion but in a genuine wish to share matters of interest. Whoever picks up the reins from you would do well to heed the advice of Toronto4Pompey and not react to those who just want to publically have a go at others. Enjoy your 'retirement'!

Thought i'd check out the pompey online forum, it's surprising how many usernames crop up there that were giving Les a hard time here. As things stand i shall happier posting my messages here rather than on a board where people talk about knocking one out if a particular player signs.

Hey Les, ive only been registered on this site for about three weeks, but I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all the articles & thank you for your efforts on a great site for our beloved football club! I think it must have been real hard work over the past couple of months with possibly the hardest club in football to keep track of. Well, I wish you luck in your future endevours!!!....& one thing every one can agree on "PLAY UP POMPEY!!!!!"

Ditto!

Steve C- I will knock one out if this site starts to be honest and do proper reports and not use other sites' news. Oh no, the dirty talk has started on here now! Get use to it.

perhaps you should change your screename to reflect it.

I agree wholeheartedly with Pietro, and simply let's not react to the knockers on this site - simply don't reply, they love the attention. Well done Les, this site has great Pompey Fans who want to speak up positively and speak their mind. To those of you who are the complainers I say " ".

Look forward to talking about the Blackburn game - when's the preview coming ????

I agree wholeheartedly with what Pietro had to say in his last entry. We knew that some of the things that we were discussing were not 'fact' as hadn't been announced on the official site, but there had been discussions about this in the past and many agreed that it was fun to chat and speculate with fellow Pompey fans rather than have nothing to read/discuss at all as the season drew close. There were those that liked this and those that didn't - those that didn't just joined in on the threads that appealed to them...whether they be set in stone fact or otherwise. Regardless, I find it very sad that small minded individuals should get stuck right into Les in a very public manner. Some of the comments that I've seen from people who obviously report for or have input for other sites has been ridiculous and childish in the extreme. It's likely that this is a sad reflection on their site, and unfortunately also makes Pompey fans in general look silly. Please go back to your own site(s?), you will not be missed. P.S. Well done again Les, don't let the eejits get you down fella.

Pompey to win 2-1 with Kanu to score the first goal!

Good luck Les with your marriage and familt life. Familt must come first and unfortunatly Pompey come 2nd. We have had some great banter over the month. Please keep posting on this site.

cheers pompeygray cheers nelson cheers the 99% of fans on this site!! Westov it depends what the new guy wants?

yer you will
