I have to admit I didn't think Guly would get a look-in in the Prem. I really do not have a clue how well we will do this season. Sometimes I think we have the best young manager in the country and will surprise everyone. Then you hear news like this and start to think we have a team with little, and a manager with no Prem experience and could get a right spanking.

I don't think telling your mate what you did at work is a sacking offence, unless you have signed the official secrets act. For what it's worth I heard a similar story but this involved returning food because it was on the wrong shaped plate! Definitely a ponce. What do you expect he's a banker. As long as the club is run well that's all that matters.

Read on another forum that Bradford City's players were paid direct by the PFA using the parachutes when they were in admin. Not sure how accurate that is but if it is then it sets a precedent and the skates are ****ged. It would explain the lack of transfer activity. If the players money is guaranteed by the PFA there is no way they would take the sort of hit pompey want/need them to. There is also no way any team would pay money for them if they could pick them up for nothing in a couple of week's time.

Graphic design. It's what I've wanted to do since I was a kid, still love doing it but now I'm fed up with staring at a computer all day. Plus the pay is OK but not great. Problem is I've ploughed a long specialised furrow and can't see how a career change can happen.

I'm trying to like it but seeing it in the flesh yesterday it just feels our team has had it's identity airbrushed out. When you compare it to the classic Arsenal strip yesterday you have to say dumping our heritage has to devalue the brand. It's not a big deal just all a bit strange and pointless.

He has the ability but will need to up his work-rate in the Prem. In Nige we trust.

I don't mind fierce rivalry in football but fighting over religion is pathetic.

4-1 v Liverpool, I was a kid at the time and Liverpool were untouchable. All I had ever known is Liverpool were the best, to beat them was a dream but we completely outclassed them. Nichol's 4-2 formation was still the best football I have ever seen Saints play. Le Tissier, Wallace, Rideout and Shearer up front, with Case pulling the strings in midfield - superb stuff. The Man Utd 3-1 and 6-3's were also up there. Rasiak's equaliser is also a stand out moment - the most mad I have ever gone. Plus Fonte's goal at Brighton which pretty much secured promotion.

The whole Celtic - Rangers thing is moronic. A cesspit of ignorance and hatred. However I expect these guys were just annoyed at Rangers being replaced and were just trying to shock people. There's little point being upset by it.

I'm sorry, but merely suggesting that on another thread would get you labelled a nutjob by the dell brains in here. Anyway, judging by what I saw yesterday. Europe will be the last thing on Adkins mind after about 20mins v Man City. We need to bring in some quality big time IMO.

Exactly, completely clueless. I doubt Terry is racist but he obviously called Ferdinand a black c*nt.

What a joke, Terry obviously called him a black c*nt. I can't believe how a judge can be so thick. The problem is these judges are so out of touch from reality they believe all this nonsense wheeled out by the defence and ignore all common sense (if they have any). It's the same ****-wits who jail people for years for posting something on twitter.

I think he could block a CVA but the club could still exit without a CVA though, would just be another, bigger points deduction. Certain relegation.

Friday 10th August for me. There will be a deadline for when the FL have to issue the golden share - that's the golden day. I think Leeds d-day was early August, I expect pompey have an extra week or two because of the delayed start of the season. I expect that flame they will be carrying around our lovely stadium tomorrow will outlive PFC.

Does anyone know when the deadline is for getting the golden share? Can't see Chanrai buying them now, those conditions look designed to stop his little game. They are f*cked, you get the feeling any day now we could get the good news.

Might be the case but unless the person collecting the bet left their name and address I don't see how the bookies records can prove anything other than some bloke won a bet 10 years ago.

You would think living in the Alps would chill you out a bit.

Could be a decent signing as long as he's fit and motivated. We could do with some Prem experience.

The Parachute Payments will only get paid if there is a football club. If they get liquidated there is no one to pay them to. It will be interesting to know if the PL pays the PP money to the Football League before it gets to the clubs. For example West Hams PPs will get paid to the FL and shared out because they went straight back up. I would expect the same rule will apply to pompey if they get liquidated. My guess is that if PFC are liquidated the PPs will go to the FL who will pay all football creditors in full and anything left over shared out amongst the other members.

I thought the rule was a football league rule, to stop the domino effect if a club goes into admin. If PFC are liquidated they are no longer a football league club so what their rules are doesn't matter, secured creditors get first dibs. That's my understanding.

If they are liquidated the FCR is meaningless.

How can they pay money to a club that doesn't exist?

This place is like being back at school. Nothing wrong with Alpine's post. It's clearly in our interests for Mario to be out partying for as long as possible. Hopefully Tevez and Aguero are smoking and scrotum deep in tarts as well.

Federer will still win, Murray will tire.

When you think of how bad it got when we were in administration it seems like a miracle to be where we are now. It's just a shame Marcus is not around to see it all happen. I distinctly remember being at an airport about 3 years ago, picking up a paper and reading about how we could go out of existence and pompey were lining up another billionaire. What a fantastic reversal of fortune.
