TopGun

Wasn't a free though. Five figure sum paid by the team banned from buying.

I think it acts as a pretty good warning to others in the media thinking about engaging in nefarious practices though. It'll be interesting to see the sentence that Coulson receives.

It seems they've managed to persuade the FL to let them buy a non-league player they're now describing as a L2 Yaya Toure... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-to-complete-midfielder-signing-1-6128988

Rather amusing that a "fan owned club" won't tell its owners how much transfer fee was received for Sonny Bradley. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/awford-targets-new-defender-1-6126348

How can he be in Ocean Village when he is in the Grazing Goat in Highfield?

So it has been revealed that Simon Ferry upped sticks to leave Pompey because his pad was burgled twice in two weeks a couple of months ago. Stay classy, Pompey! http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/awford-admits-difficult-ferry-decision-1-6106619

I see the mighty Bondzilla has been released also.

I like the Lamb in Nomans Land.

Obviously some people won't vote and others prefer to keep their views private and that's okay by me. But for those of you prepared to pin your flag to a mast publicly what's your vote likely to be? In the Euros I will be voting for the LDs as I like the main sitting candidate Chris Davies in the North West although he is expected to suffer and might not get re-elected. I will try to help him. In my local Trafford ward I am going to vote for the Conservatives (first time ever) as I think they are realistic about balancing services with local taxes and I dislike the Labour Group leader. I'd like UKIP to get stuffed but not hopeful about that.

If Lallana and Shaw are sold for £47m what would be the best way to reinvest? Katherina may of course not want to spend all of that money anyway also. I would be loathe to spend what is available on established "superstars" like Osvaldo and hope that Saints look for players that can be developed instead. Plus put more money into coaching and infrastructure to develop more young players.

Six anyway - SRL, Lallana, Shaw, Yoshi, Lovren, Gaston (plus Osvaldo for seven if counted).

Six is great.

Have we had 3 in a WC squad before? If not what was our previous best and who was in it? I get a bit mixed up about who was playing for Saints and England at the same time in the 1980s. Keegan was a Saints player in 1982 (although hardly featured because of injury). Were Shilton and Wright still Saints in 1986... perhaps not...

I see McInnes has given up his tramp look.

Not that I wish him ill personally, but Micah seems to have been sidelined. I think I read that he had taken a sickness leave.

Yeah, this will be an amusing tale for sure.

Oh well, bang goes our dream of #lowlypompey being #nonleaguepompey but nevertheless there are bright spots. The recent contradictory nonsense spouted about their great finance will have bags of fun as it gets made clear, as will the Tesco deal and ramifications.

Waste of time trying to keep shops open on deserted high streets. Turn them back into housing.

Come on you exiles... Why are they called that?

BYO Bollinger.

Funnily enough if they are relegated to the Conference they will get a new parachute of just over £200k for one season. On the other hand they would lose the £750k that L2 teams get from the Premiership each year.

He developed a poor attitude, probably from Danielle Lloyd.

O'Hara will get an unpleasant surprise if he does sign when he realises facilities are not what they once were... I just don't think he's the type of person who take a blow like that very well.

O'Hara was shyte the first time and has done nothing for Wolves since either. He wasn't even allocated a squad number at the start of this season. Bring it on. Another classic mistake in the making. Two desperadoes in reality.
