Now equal 3rd on the all time list of appearances, alongside Alan Goad.

Only 6 more appearances need to move clear into 2nd place.

Hats off to him for that, well done.

This thread is going to end up 4 pages long.....

That will just be from Mr I's contributions.

Why does he need SIX more? Surely one will do it ... or am I a thick get?

Yep I'm afraid so. Read it carefully

Sorry didnt mean to be patronising.

1 more will take him to 3rd (as he is now joint 3rd)
6 more and hes 2nd all time.

Whos first and on how many appearences?

Ah ... sums antha was never my strong point.
Will you lerruz off if I tell you Alan Goad now lives in Canada?

Richie Humphries is a poolie legend, fantastic that he's completed so many appearences for a club he clearly loves.

As LT said the man is a legend he has been a credit to the club on and off the pitch.

Well done Richie

It boils my bubbles at times to read the slagging Richie gets on here

How many players stay ten years at a club these days? It's called loyalty!

Are you seriously suggestin because he is loyal he deserves a place in the starting 11? How many games have you seen him have a good game this season?

...he isnt playing for us for free you know!

Another Humphreys back-slapping thread. I wish I could bring something to the board to stop this nonsense.

It's cos no fecker else will have him.

He hasnt been here 10 years!!

I slag off Richie Humphreys on here and will continue do if/when he puts in a substandard performance. Whether he has played 4 games or 400 games, he is getting paid a ridiculous amount of our money to do so and it's our right as a supporter to criticise where appropriate.

Slagging them off at a game is different and uncalled for but if people want to criticise him on here then I don't see the problem, he's no different to any other player in my eyes.

I only ever do that when they are totally shyte.

So every time Ritchie plays then?

Come on lets get 6 pages out of this fucker!!

humphreys is shite!!

and so is that Andy C unthouse on the left wing!!

Bollocks where you saying this when he scored against Walsall and Swindon or when he ripped Burnley apart?

Even less subtle than me yupeb

Yup, exactly what i said the moment the final whistle went.

Ok by that reply ill take it you were on the wind up then.

A humphreys thread on here will often get 5-6 pages of banter.

Half the people would happily sleep with him if he offered it to them on a plate, reckon he's the best thing since time began and believe he's the greatest player that ever walked, ignoring any flaws, believing a simple 2 yard pass needs applauding.

At the grimsby game, about 5 minutes in, humphreys played a simple pass to haslam at right back, nothing fancy, was probs his first touch, he piped up "he's having a good game tonight humphreys", i thought jesus christ.

The other half of the people on this thread, will recognise he was and still is a competent player, who has given a great service to this club over the years, but now, can aknowledge that he isn't the player he was and probs doesnt deserve a place in the team.

But will be shot down by the doogooders who are waiting for the day humphreys walks in their local so they can whipe his arse when he goes to the bog.

and then there's Mr I who wants him dead.

How he hasn't replied to this thread by now I do not know.

He was pretty average in two of those three games though, wasn't he?

He has him in his sights right now!

Im not sure about the Swindon game as I never attanded but he was average against Walsall but is average so bad? They cant play well every week.

True they can't but he has been average for two a bit seasons now.

Got to disagree with you there I think Monky is one of our better players. Last season granted he underacheived but didnt everyone at the club? Would you drop Monkhouse then?

He underachieved last season and the season before. That is a long period to not be performing.

I wouldn't drop him as I don't think we have anyone better unfortunately

This is supposed to be a Ritchie Humphreys thread. How dare you talk about any lesser players on it.

True how cam we take the light away from out player of the centery?

I wouldn't say he's a lesser player, they're both as equally shyte as each other.

all i will say about richie humphreys is he is left footed.

Thats it

Forgive him Father!!!

He should play, end of story. It makes me laugh when people think they are knowledgeable about football because they have been watching pools for ten years and once had a trial at a club when they were 16.
FFS do you think he has been picked 300+ times by various managers because he plays badly......Open your eyes, the bloke is a talented football player who plays the game how it should be played....

In pure footballing terms, it's difficult to knock a record of so many games and there was a time when he was a crucial part of the team. He is living on past glories now, something I expect he has recognised himself given he's collecting coaching badges and becoming involved in peripheral activities.

Alan Goad was also picked 300+ times, should he also be in the team?

Anybody who believes he is as good as he was five years ago is deluded.

That aside though it is a completely different argument as to whether or not he should currently be in the team, but some of the roused rabble on here seem unable to seperate the two issues.

For some reason RH seems to polarise opinion in most folk.

I was standing in "Richie Humphreys Drive" last Friday. People are now living there. Up Chester Road, on the right, before you get to Wynstay Gardens.

He should be used like beckham is for england, sparingly, and when needed.

The odd cameo here and there and the odd 15 minutes at the end of games to steady the ship.

Maybe, IF (or perhaps when) we had (have) somebody better to play from the start.

At the moment he is one of our best two central midfielders alongside Mr Jones.

So he should play because past managers have picked him and he has played loads of games for us?

So your just admitting he should play because of past glories really aint you?

It maybe explains the username 'retropools'. We should sign Mick Tait too.

he is our best midfield player at moment fact

no bri, just no.

he is yes he is

Concurring with my new best buddy!

who,s better in the middle then?
