The club made a major **** up on the pricing of all of these pre-season games IMHO ! Maximum price of a tenner and 'kids go free' would for sure have ensured much higher attendances with the additional spending on catering etc.. Granted the olympics didn't help but what's the point of trying to be greedy when it can easily backfire on the grounds of admission price alone ??

That's exactly what Corpse Ho Ho used to say when the last lot of dodgy east Europeans were on the scene !!

the_riddle 10:48 PM on 11/08/2012 Short changing footballers? If the PST are in the position to negotiate with the players it means Portpin have pulled out. Therefore the players will get something or nothing. That's not the PST's fault is it? It's the failing of the club the players signed for. Do you think it's OK what Portpin have done then? Portpin have made them compromise offers they have agreed to, but if you think Portpin will honour these you've not been keeping up. 4 year deals but they are 'reluctant' owners who have said they'll be gone in two years and have a CV which says they've never paid any creditors EVER. 100% of nothing (Portpin's 4 year deferred packages) is not as good as 25% of something (PST's £2m pot which will be honoured) or just £0 (liquidation). Above is from the comments section of the Snooze article re. Portpin's potential pullout ! 'The Riddle' is apparently on the PST board and (believe it or not!) is very sensible and pretty realistic ! For him to say that Chinny cannot be trusted like this, just confirms what most on here often allude to that he is a clever, manipulating, money lender who uses the law when it suits him and flirts with it when it doesn't ! If he becomes Chief Skate next week (again!) then God help them !!!

That's much more like it ! Back to the real Alpine !

Was out this afternoon and came back expecting a landslide of posts on this historic day, only to find half a page of non information ! Christ, the Skates even let us down on (so called!) deadline days ! Barstewards, the lot of them !!

a) Chinny takes over ? b) The trust take over ? Surely they are pretty well f#cked whichever happens ? Probably Chinny will take it, bleed it, then pass it over, another couple of years for this thread and everybody is happy, no ??

Why would that be a year long loan if he only has a year left to run on his contract ? The implication to me is that the Skates would still have to pay some of his wages otherwise he might just as well be sold directly ! As always, I smell something very fishy going on down there !!

My bet is that Chinny will linger long enough to get his dirty mitts on the PP's and then (miraculously!) come up with a new found saviour from the underworld of eastern Europe or Asia ! It is part of his modus operandi and if next time he manages to get his dosh out before they go t!ts up then he'll be on his bike quicker than Bradley Wiggins ! No doubt the plucky few will be naive enough to expect him to become philanthropic all of a sudden but, for us, the fun and frolics will continue apace as we head gallantly towards post no. 100,000 !!

It is total cr@p IMHO ! If only they'd put some black into the new kit rather than on the website things would have been so much better !

They certainly are down Farton way !!

Are you Frank's Cousin in disguise ??

Steve De Ridder "does not cut ze mustard" ! I didn't realise that he had a German accent ??

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/new-boy-conor-s-playing-the-name-game-1-4132331 This lad has been down there for 2 whole days and has found the fans (all 4,000 of them!) to be the absolute bestest, bestest, bestest !! Ps. Will any article (ever) in the Snooze not mention the fans ??

What's Lineker done that's so wrong ? As an ex footballer with no media background until Match of the Day I think he has done pretty well ! It's easy to knock people in his position but I don't see on what grounds he deserves it !

Just got a bronze in the ladies heavyweight judo ! Our girl beat a great big lump from Ukraine ! Whooppee ! Ps, no sexy comments available after watching that one !

Could be an interesting day, what with the PTS statement at 11.00am ! Chinny breaking cover and suggesting a role for the Trust also puts a whole new slant on things ! But, not too worry Nutjobs, every which way they are f#cked, it's only a matter of degree and there is plenty of life and laughs in this old thread yet to come !!!!!!!

OOPS ! (accompanied by an embarrassed smile!) Anyway there is really only one NA and it's not that pillock from the Snooze !

So Nigel Adkins has replaced Michael Appleton then ? That I did miss !

Ken, my wife has exactly the same requirements as yours and she has just recently got the Samsung Galaxy Ace which has been a great success, especially as we have kids overseas and she can use the WhatsApp system for free exchange of fotos/messages etc.. ! We pay £15.50 per month with Vodaphone and it covers all her needs ! Clearly the only issue (as with all smartphones!) is battery life but (slowly but surely!) she is learning to stick it on charge overnight ! HTH and good luck !

Having been away for a few days I have just managed to catch up ! In summary, Birchie is happy that he has now gotten the squad down to 3, Halford is now a legend for leaving without making a loss, (ex Donny reserve) Dumbo is now a legend for saying he'll sign for them regardless of all the other teams clamouring for his services and Neil Allen continues to make an arse of himself. Chinny now has the sweet scent of the PP's within his grasp and they are preparing for a 'massive' local derby tonight v the Shots !! All of this interspersed with a few references to Hitler and the holocaust, so business as usual really or have I missed anything ?

Apparently there was no fat in the pipes and the (hotel) clock was working ! HTH

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/portsmouth/9427454/Portsmouth-to-sell-David-Norris-and-Greg-Halford.html Seems that the Halford deal may "be complicated by the fact that they still owe Wolves £200k ! The Varney deal, they had to pay £300k to Derby ! The Huseklepp deal is complicated by the fact that they owe Bari £1 million ! FFS do they ever pay anybody ? These are fairly recent signings and no doubt included in the £30 mil 'football creditors' debt, but how thick were these clubs to allow credit to known sheisters like the Skates ???
