No, I'm just naturally intelligent...

Correct

Peanuts aren't nuts

If you can find another 3,599,999 people who disagree with you then we'll advise the treasury to divert a penny each from our contributions to HMRC next month. (Just don't ask Pompey to do the same...)

Wouldn't this kind person have been better off donating the 5 grand to their local hospital to help with the backlog of operations that built up due to Pompey evading £60m tax payments? 2 weeks wages for a league 2 footballer or a life changing operation? Hmmm, tricky one that...

Great show on Wednesday...

@pn_neil_allen: RT @iepeach: If you're a #pompey fan then please read this letter I received today. It should warm your heart.

Remind me how that happened again....?

No, I think you must be thinking of another team not to far from here...

That is the crux of why this thread has been going on for so long.... if the fan base had come out and said..."You know what? The last 10 years should be wiped from Pompey history because it was all based on foundations of sand (sand that we then put our heads in). The good stuff, the bad stuff - consign it all to the dustbin of history and we'll start again from scratch. Oh, and if we ever make a surplus we'll do what any decent COMMUNITY club would do and give some of it back to the COMMUNITY that lost out in the past rather than pour every last penny into buying the most competitive squad in the league"....we'd probably have dropped our "obsession" with the injustice by now... And on that basis I predict this thread will never end...

Yeah, but that wasn't "their" debt, that was the previous owners' debt... Nothing to do with the new guys...no sir-eeee (but we'd quite like to keep some of the good historical stuff pretty please...)

Would prefer to keep the riff raff away personally

And there you have it....the catch all caveat which they can hide behind as they see fit... Does that apply to player wages too? How are they going to build a squad that can "be competitive" (or "walk this league" as fans call it) if they've got to "minimise costs throughout the business"?

@NabilHassan79: The #Pompey Supporters' Trust have revealed full details of the settlement reached with former owners Portpin: http://t.co/Rayi3jDZym So Chainrai's "oops, we forgot about that" £2m floating charge is somehow whittled down to £450k...It's amazing how one club can make so much debt vanish at the stroke of an airbrush...

@pn_neil_allen: New chief executive Mark Catlin makes #Pompey Academy pledge. http://t.co/ Erm....so that's something else that's changed from the original Trust prospectus without formal communication then.... I thought they were planning on ditching the Academy? p.s. "thriving"....

WBA captain Chris Brunt is out with a knee injury. (Apologies if that's old news)

What this forum is lacking is more people like your good self to highlight the ridiculous views of some on here. If we had more people constantly highlighting the drivel every five minutes it would fizzle out and we could get back to discussing sensible stuff.
