Are either of these anything we should be worried about? As a long suffering supporter who has lived through previous 'dubious' regimes I'm obviously keen that we start off on a clean slate!

Meanwhile, over at the webchat....

Any idea what this charge lodged at company's house yesterday for 'Portsmouth Community Football Club' is all about...? And its still showing their annual directors' return as overdue... Edit: actually, it says there are two outstanding charges as things stand...

Would that logic have seen Wigan relegated last season...?

I can see us getting 7 points from our last 3 games....doesn't mean it'll happen though...

Shaw? Nice one.... next question is.... do we play a "not quite fit" Shaw vs Spurs (with the danger he may have a relapse and be out for the last two games) or do we wait until he's fully fit for the last two games. Given the game we're least likely to get points from (on paper) is the Spurs game, there would be some logic in not rushing him back but, conversely, if Shaw being in the team increases our chances of a result vs Spurs then it won't matter if he's crocked for the remaining two games so much coz a point at Spurs should be enough... I'm beginning to realise why I'm not a football manager....

Option 1 for me` Possibly the most risky in one sense - i.e. giving a debut to a teenager at WHL..... but perhaps the most logical in another sense - i.e. playing our next available left back in the pecking order at left back

Sounds like a job for Guly to me...

http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22348975 Lloyds Banking Group has reported a big rise in profits for the first three months of the year. The bank, which is 39% taxpayer-owned, reported a statutory pre-tax profit of £2.04bn in the first quarter, up from £280m for the same period last year.

More 'pick and mx' club history from Pompey fans. Move along...Nothing surprising to see here...

I've been pondering this myself this evening... wondering whether MP might be toying with the notion of dropping our 'natural' hi-tempo attacking game and try and play for the draw instead, maybe with 3 central defenders and 2 'wing backs'.... especially with both 1st team squad left-backs out.... Maybe something like this: ------------------------------- Boruc ------------------------------------- --------------- Fonte --------- Forren ---------- Yoshida ------------------ Clyne ------------------------------------------------------------- Targett ------------------------ Cork -------- Schneiderlin ------------------------- ------------ Puncheon -------------------------------- Lallana ------------- ------------------------------ Lambert ------------------------------------ Subs: Davis, Davis, JWP, Mayuka, Hooiveld, Puncheon, Rodriguez I know its highly unlikely that MP would go for such a major strategic change and that we're more likely to see the usual "plan A" but I can't help feeling that something different might just get us the point we need at WHL.

Good job WBA thrashed us at the weekend - makes us nearly as "dangerous" as Sunderland...

I've already done that
