@TelegraphNews: Britain's recovery is gathering momentum on the back of a “stunning” resurgence in manufacturing, say economists http://t.co/d9vDT8AV7U

Mine came through a day or so after ordering them (a couple of weeks ago)

Life is pointless when subjected to logical analysis

@pn_steve_wilson: I'm ready and waiting for the misinformed to start bemoaning the fact that #Pompey are making free transfer signings on very low wages... @jejquade: @pn_steve_wilson If they do they are stupid and deluded. Do they want us back to square one? Build our own squad. @pn_steve_wilson: @jejquade It was more aimed at fans of rival clubs suggesting #Pompey are somehow "cheating". I think "most" #Pompey fans are delighted... @jejquade: @pn_steve_wilson Oh now accounting for Southampton "Scummers". In the Premiership and still have a chip on their shoulder.

@NabilHassan79: #pompey fans, here is a youtube clip of your new signing Romain Padovani scoring direct from the kick off: http://t.co/J1Ck73VC9A

How come none of this restriction stuff came out at their fanfare takeover press conference the other week...?

People that spend half their life worrying about what other people do

None of the restrictions are stopping Mr Allen getting all excited though... @pn_neil_allen: Hearing there could be a couple more #Pompey signings before the end of the day. Stayed tuned! What is it they say about 'little things' pleasing...? Bless.

Do away with 1 point for a draw and 3 points for a win and just have 1 point per goal.

Well volunteered that man

Hmmm, tempting. Any idea what the odds are for a relegation and Pochettino double?

Please can someone take notes for me, I'm out and about this afternoon. Thanks

Best one yet

He's only just joined us though

Bournemouth at home

I'm hearing that Howard Webb is the favourite to take over

If Pompey are indeed looking to settle for mid table obscurity in the 4th tier of English football I'm inclined to start agreeing with the "close the thread, our work here is done" brigade. Anyone spot the key word in that sentence though? Clue: Two letter word at beginning of sentence. Starts with I and ends with F.

Bugger. That's Pochettino off then...

Probably goes without saying but Pochettino will want to finish as high up the league as possible so I don't see him deploying the fringe players, even if/when we're mathematically safe going into the last game.

Wigan? 10/1 to beat Arsenal? Not bad odds for a two horse race. I feel one last covering bet in my waters...

As i've mentioned before, I suspect the bit in brackets was added by the journo post interview. That's not to say the information wasn't provided retrospectively by Ramirez but we can't be certain it's a "from the horses mouth" figure.
