Kaiser Chiefs doing Pinball Wizard, well.... more tactful then 'I Predict a Riot' at least.

Wonder if they are televising this in North Korea/China.

Another innocent Skate bites the dust as they turn on each other. Straying from the Island mantra will not be tollerated!

Head: 4-0 Defeat. Few positives to bring. Heart: We go down fighting and really make Man City graft.

Indirectly yes. But it wasn't the right time, work here is good for the time being and more opportunity will come in time. What a wonderful place to live in though. thesaint sfc should have a wonderful time out there.

I am concerned. We have shown very little in pre-season that shows me we are ready for the premier league. We need more depth in defence and pace going forward. I am truly worred that next sunday will be embarassing. We have had it good now for three years, a reality check here may have done us good but I am praying it's not a recurring theme.

A few simple things. 1. An acceptance from the bulk of your fanbase that the only reason you were so succesful is because you spend money (seriously, insanity levels of money) that your club had no right to. An acceptance that you have cheated to gain a sporting advantage for a period of 7 years. 2. A bit of humility. This Plucky hard done by Pompey b*ll**** needs to end. You won a cup at the expense of many local businesses and your integrity. The fans experienced something supporters of a club of your size have no right to.... particularly when they have been so up themselves come the innevitable recriminations. 3. Death. The death of Portsmouth FC as it exists. Start again and prove that you have learnt from the mistakes of the past rather then wishing to prop up the decrepid corpse by finding someone else willing to throw more money into a bottomless pit.

Chainrai truly has embraced the 'Pompey way.'

You know i'ld never leave the country without you darling. x

It's not the shirt itself that bugs me, but the entire red kit. (Shorts and Socks)

It may seem that finally, they are going to have to pay more realistic sums for players. If they get that far, if it's still 50/50 that they will survive and contract offers are being withdrawn by Birch/Portpin then they may have decided that it's time to wind them up regardless.

Frank's cousin, I applaud you. Please send that to Football365 or something equal. Something that is national and will give allowance to written articles.

Wow, all the best, having been offered a job in Vevey recently I have an inkling as to what you must be feeling right now. Enjoy.

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.
