Pompey director Mark Jacob should have a new name. Perhaps he should be known as Joseph, for he has a quote of many colours.
Take this quote in The News: "At the Arsenal game, there were chants which left Ahmed Al Faraj (the brother of Ali Al Faraj) - who watched the game on the internet - most upset. Mr Al Faraj feels supporters do not see - or haven't been told perhaps - what has happened since October and it was like a pressure cooker that had suddenly exploded. Then there was the protest after the Coventry game.
"Quite clearly that is the supporters' prerogative, but I was most upset and disappointed. I sincerely hope that does not happen again given the strides this club has achieved over the last few months."
Supporters often feel quite differently of course. Take this quote from a protest about the board at White Hart Lane a few years back.
“We feel we are justified in expressing these opinions and if a public apology is not given we call upon every Tottenham supporter to continue to support the team - but not the board.
"The TAG (Tottenham Action Group) have started a petition calling for [Sir Alan] Sugar to either back manager George Graham with cash for top quality signings, or quit the club.”
The angry fan? Some bloke called Mark Jacob. He's a lawyer you know...
