Morgan? You are kidding right? He's the only one who has done anything good in the middle four. Madness.

hoof ball again. Another sub standard pitch no doubt? Still, how many times over the years have we dominated at home only to be hit on the break? Nice to return the favour for once. Puncheon has been far too casual. Come on son get it together and we can get these 3 points.

Fonte getting murdered in the air by Bechio

absolutely tragic, but totally avoidable. For starters the bike shouldn't have overtook (or undertook) without extreme caution and secondly there is a pedestrian crossing 30 yards from the incident

Peter tells stories?

looking at the photo on the Echo, where the flowers are is one house up from the chip shop. What a terrible thing to happen. My sister lives the other side of the shop and has a 3 year old girl, needless to say I was deeply concerned when I heard the news on the radio this morning.

excellent work

is he being paid to tell the administrator what the password is on THE computer and where the keys are for the filling cabinet?

the council already insist that the land that Fratton resides on can only be used for sporting and recreational purposes.

£10.8m CSI loan + £17m + another £1.2m loan seems to come to £29m. Weird.

very good idea, maybe a speedway track? Tipner track is still there, though not for long, but long since closed.

wheres the friendly skate who comes on here saying "we'll be alright"?

actually I think the United Services ground is owned by the Crown, to which surplus revenues go directly to the HMRC. Maybe HMRC wil get their money back after all then in the form of rent. It's ******** by the way.

it wasn't a tap in, but it was more than a half chance.

will he want to treble his wages like he did when Ipswich came in for him? No thanks.

Trevor Birch, partner at PKF and joint administrator of Portsmouth Football Club, has made the following statement: “Following our discussions with the Premier League and Football League over the past few days, it has emerged that Portsmouth Football Club is unlikely to receive any further parachute payments or other league funding. “We had previously stated that there was a real danger of the club running out of cash before the end of the season. The risk of this happening increases substantially without the money from the football authorities. Unless something significant happens, there is a real possibility that we may not be able to fulfil the season’s fixtures. “One potential issue appears to come from the assignment of £2.2 million of parachute payments that was made by the old company to a previous owner. We have instructed lawyers to challenge this, but the process may take time. “The club is also still owed nearly £300,000 by the CSI administrators and their lawyers, who are withholding the funds as payment for their work in applying to court for administration. PKF is talking to its lawyers to see if this money can be returned to the club. “Despite the tremendous support that we’ve received from everyone involved with Portsmouth Football Club, it seems that the club isn’t getting any of the breaks that it needs. The more we uncover, the worse the picture appears to get. “The only consolation I can give supporters, staff and players at the moment is that my PKF colleagues and I have not given up hope and will continue to do all we can to save the club. But the clock is ticking. “We are looking at all possible options for raising further revenues in the very short term but we realise that there is only so much that can be realistically achieved. We will update you on the situation as often as we can, but keep in mind that the situation will change on a daily basis “The local community has certainly risen to the challenge. The attendance at last Saturday’s game against Leeds was one of the highest of the season, a number of fundraising ideas have been proposed and supporters have already raised several thousand pounds to buy tickets for future matches for the local community. That will help. “Their commitment has been one of the few positives in an otherwise very challenging fortnight. It also gives me and my colleagues even more motivation to do everything in our power to secure the club’s future. “As you’d expect, several people have got in touch with us since our appointment as administrators and made enquiries about buying the club. We are assessing every case and will make contact with anyone that we believe could be a serious bidder over the next few days. “Any potential bidders will need to be prepared to make a major investment in the club because the outlook for next season looks challenging unless we can sell some players in the summer.”

does this change your mind? Mr Birch added: ‘The parachute payments are through to 2014. Pompey is due about £14m. The problem is that we have football creditors. Old football creditors and ones still accruing. Out of that £14m there might be £7 – 10m of football creditors that will have to he paid.’

the way Birch was talking it sounded like liquidation was becoming the most likely outcome

he also said he'd have to source other means of funding and he had little confidence in that.

he was the stand out player in the FA Cup game against Millwall the other week. League 2 seems to low to me.

is it me or is the England kit changing every two and half minutes?

why on earth are we sending out such a talent ball player to a league 2 hoof ball side that plays on a ploughed field? Very strange decision.

one of my favourite Saints players of all time. Not sure why, as there are plenty of negatives, but his touch and ability on the ball were exceptional. Give it to him with three around hi and he'd still come away with it. Great out ball. Why on earth was he not in the cup final side? The boro away game was his finest hour, and it was just an hour as they somehow managed to sneak a draw. He ran the game completely and looked sensational. First time I have ever heard the "just like watching Brazil" song and everything stemmed from him. Great day, despite not winning.

you are far too precious. It (the performance not the result) was horrible to watch and fans that pay their hard earned are well within their rights to tell it how it was - a good win, but a below average performance. If you don't like hearing a bad word about SFC I suggest you give web forums a wide berth. You can play well and lose, and play badly and win. It was the latter yesterday. Funny, many fans are criticised (called happy clappy)on here for applauding a losing performance too.

this is what ****s me off, despite Birch telling them that the FL do what they can and it being the owners responsibility to vet potential new owners when it comes to things beyong criminal records, the skates still blame them for everything. The football league can not make subjective decisions and its not their role to decide if a new owner would be good for the club.
