If we lose Lambert it is season over. Hammond is missed but Rickie is irreplaceable in current squad.

Cynical... Not many modern day footballers attend college to better themselves and donate proceeds from their record to Haiti appeal.

They wanted to allow Barnard to score easily to boost his confidence.

He is into to his music. Perhaps we can get Craig David to seal the deal for us?

Perhaps. I am told our wage offer was a fair bit better than what he was on at Palace. He did however give us a figure he would accept, and we didn't agree to it.

As I understand: We bid for Danns at same time as Fonte. Bid #1 declined Bid #2 accepted Danns had talks with us and passed a medical but didn't agree our offer. I would imagine that our offer, which was accepted pre-admin for Palace was more generous than what the administrators would accept (the best they can get). That was mid January and I have not spoken to the person who told me all this since then. Speculating, it may be that the administrator will now accept a revised Saints lower offer for the transfer fee and we can then offset this discount against Danns' wage demands. If Saints were happy with a figure for the TCO (Total cost of ownership) 2 weeks back then they may have re-visited given that we could now give Danns what he wanted for the same outlay. I note we have since purchased Puncheon and this might render all of what I have said obsolete.

Cheers. I was recording the game to watch later. Have avoided every major news site, Radio 5 etc. but you felt the need to post it on this thread!

Typical Peter Storrie, he can't even manage to resign correctly.

He could have joined us, it was his choice not to agree our offer.

Would have thought this could be an issue: "Though the Pilgrims have concurred on terms with Southampton, it is thought MK Dons would also have to agree to rip up the current loan arrangement."

"Just feel we need that second goal"! LMAO

We'll know it is a certainty if the Johnie Walker lorry is seen delivering double stock to the Southside Hilton by the stadium.

+ will be amazed if not televised on ITV.

If they are wound up, they will be liquidated there and then.

I doubt Pards will be in Pompey's lineup, so should be ok.

Pompey are unlikely to sell out their allocation so there should be extra tickets. ;-)

Too early to tell. Plus if you believe the grapevine then Thomas is being shipped out.

And always trying to keep up with the classy neighbours down the road (M27).

Nope, just further proof that the whole Portpin loan thing is a scam.

He has filming obligations on Fridays.

Ironic prospect, if Pompey do get wound up then Westwood will be the only remaining thing named Portsmouth Football Club. Something the skates can be really proud of.

It was a joke 15 or so pages back IIRC

TBF he has a point. We were cruising with 15 minutes to go with them creating little and us continually battering them on the counter attack. MS getting sent off changed all of that and at the end, we were hanging on and grateful to leave with the 1-0 lead. I am not sure there would be too many assistant managers going into a second leg away saying their team had been played off the park for 75 minutes.

Some fat being trimmed from their extensive squad. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5876917,00.html

A comment from the News Article. "My contacts at County level on the prompting from the PL have this week been ordered to draw up a plan to accept Portsmouth City (?), the re formed blues, to be able to play in the Wessex League from the start of the 2010/11 season. They will not consider requests for the new club to start out in the Blue Square Premier League South - the club will have to 'earn' its place in the highest echelons of non league football. I agree with Jack Preston, the first priority is for the club to be able to make a fresh start, at whatever level."
