We would be celebrating false dawns and small mercies like the blue few. And for that alone......

Matt Phillips, a player I would love to see us get. In the right way of course. But we need defenders.... I am still worried we are too fragile at the back.

His dignity, foresight and integrity provide an example for us to this day. May he be watching on and enjoying our rise. Without Markus Liebherr I dread to think where we would be now. In your memory we fight on. With our greatest respect and gratitude we remember.

Nonsense. You are not taking Alpine seriously...

Is that some kind of perverse training exercise? Stick Alpine in Defence and let us all attack him? If he can keep a clean sheet he gets a shot in the development squad?

"UEFA’s financial fair play rules have been introduced into Leagues 1 and 2 and clubs are quite rightly having to cut their cloth accordingly." Lets see how well that can be enforced.....

Good shout! Would have been easier if he'd shown a bit more backbone though.

Alan "Gordon" Bennett, who actually ended up quite useful is now at Cheltenham.

What's Wayne Thomas doing at the moment? Ah, he's gone to Cyprus. Will be cheaper this time at least.

On the contrary, there will be plenty to see and hear here for years to come!

Ok. Playing devils advocate of the counselors letter I do see his points. They are however flawed horribly. It assumes that Portsmouth can operate a self sustaining premier league football club that can deliver success. Quite simply. It cannot.

It a revival of the old custom of biting Gold to check if it's real. If it is your tooth would leave a little indentation. Not that the medals actual contain much gold, but it's just a gesture.

Here's the video. Just after 1 hr 07 min. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/p00w32b9

It's a f**king mess. But it's more of a Southampton kit then our current effort, I prefer it.

James Beattie. Muffin basket would be provided as gratuity.

He quoted a photo of the young heptathlete and simply replied with a picture of Helena Bonham-Carter in character from Planet of the Apes.

Really do hate playing v Bristol. Bet we get them in the cup this year too.

That is scandalous! My City Link story (to clarify my initial nomination). I am field based for my job. I live in the West Midlands and my work HQ is in Halifax. My work laptop was playing up and needed sending back to head office for sorting out. City Link were tasked with collecting the item from my home address before the end of the day and ferrying it up on my final working day before I took two weeks holiday. By 5.30 there was no collection and I elected to telephone the depot with the tracking number. Connected through after a 15 minute wait I was onformed that all collections for the day had stopped and was there any way I could get it to the depot myself? I furiously argued my case to them but to no avail. As I absolutely needed the laptop to reach it's destination I took the thing in first thing the next morning to Cov depot and then promptly rushed to the Airport only just making last call for boarding. They are amatuers, never use them unless you absolutely have to.

What a joyless ***t!!

Ok, Pendleton has been penalised for leaving the inside lane (barely! Very harsh) and the first sprint awarded to Mears.

He deserved it this time. Can't sympathise.

Won the first sprint by 0.001 seconds! Staggering!

He didn't, because something I posted also went. The Mods have been at work and thank heavens for that.

It's Pendletime!

Dune made a rather unfair comparison between Katerina Johnson-Thompson and a character from a Tim Burton film. It offended me quite a bit and i'm sure I wouldn't be alone there.
