Bloody loved Tepi, the mad bastard. He was crap but he was great entertainment.

Bloody loved Tepi, the mad bastard. He was crap but he was great entertainment.

Was trying to find a clip of the time he just let the ball go under his foot during a passback. Such a howler that it ended up on GMTV the next day.

I remember the wave of depression that came over me whenever I saw Tepi on the teamsheet instead of Lucas (or "Leadboots" as Shaky used to call him).

Can't find the offending clip, but did see a wonderful clip of him clearing out a Wigan player and conceding a penalty. Vintage Teps!

Pretty sure that match was at home to Wigan in 1999/2000 season. Lucas had started the game but had got sent off after conceding a penalty.
That was followed by the Tepi howler.
All in all a disastrous game that we lost 4-1.
Another point of note was that Jason Roberts scored after 30 seconds on what was his debut.
Overall it was a great season and we won the league one championship with 95 points.
We got even with Wigan that season as well winning 1-0 in the very first game at the DW Stadium.
Michael Jackson got the winner in front of 6800 of us.

The Wigan one was a fresh air shot I think.

But that save at Chesterfield….

 

[Meldrew's Ghost]

His League starts to clean sheets ratio was the best* for PNE since WWII up until Carlo "Going South" Nash.

It was twice as good as Lucas' record behind the same defence.

* Based on a minimum number of League starts (15 or 20 or so).

People just remember the odd howler and forget the rest.

[wld]

Words can’t do justice to how disappointing this bloke was. He stung like a butterfly.

 

[Grand Tour]

Utter garbage.

 

[No Danger]

Scored one spectacular goal at Leicester in a 1-0 win. Apart from that contributed the square root of sweet FA.

 

[cragtek]

His transfer fee (not big by today's standards, but verging on our record back then) unfortunately dictated the expectations, and I was one of those guilty of thinking he'd be a world beater.

The absolute thunderbastard finish into the roof of his own net to knock us out of the cup was an interesting decision.

He was the definition of a luxury player; only the luxury failed to transpire. It was like being served a bowl of shit at the Ritz.

Cleared one off the line against QPR in stoppage time, when we made the play offs in 2009. Not a lot to show for 4 years and the big fee we paid for him.

What a man

 

[RibbletonWhite2.0]

What a man

Don’t remind me.

Should have won that day. Whaley missed a penalty.

Portsmouth then went onto win the thing

I do this via our X account but thought would be interesting to do it here as well to get ya'lls thoughts for those who do not use X or similar haha. First one is below!👇

Fast

( In fact according to " The Broon " - the quickest lad there at the time ) - but definitely-

Not Furious

 

[noelpne]

What a man

Always hated that talented, down lazy lackadaisical bar steward......
Last known job ....the Ladies Footballing Coach at the mighty Cheltenham Town.
I remember there was someone on the Pavillion at one end ( me at the other ) and the non-playing players at the other in a small knit-
- and someone shouting-out ( I believe genuinely, NOT sarcastically ) - "Come on Darren, good lad ! [ & a couple claps ] in an encouraging manner .....
Carter just gave the guy the foulest look you can imagine- IE if looks could kill the bloke would have dropped down dead.
A guilty action, imo.
I bet he tried super-hard in training - but such more feckless **** I could not imagine.
Stole a wage.....

 

[Doc Brown]

What a man

Lonergan absolutely nowhere to be seen.

Hahaha.

He never was great with crosses into the box was he.

That OG is even worse than I ever thought it was. Chaplow (facing the right way) is about to clear it and Carter literally takes it off his toe and lashes it into the top bin.

What a clown.

Don't think he must have fancied a trip down to Portsmouth for a replay!
