10 minutes into the Q&A and not one question about the "add ons" yet....minor detail I know...

"Smart" as in first to leave a sinking ship...?

One for Mr Freud... @pn_neil_allen: Guy: 'Very pleased. It's been a dollar coaster but I have always felt I could show the ability to do the job.' #Pompey

Not to mention his successes at Bury FC....

@pn_neil_allen: The fascinating sight of the press conference. Tension building here. #Pompey http://t.co/XoZnl6XQ7y Yep...a desk with microphones and cheap pop up banners behind.... Truly fascinating...

Anyone for a sweepstake on how often the phrase "sorry, can't elaborate on that yet as it's still commercially sensitive" crops up...?

Did this get an airing on here last week? I must have missed it amongst the ticker tape and champagne spray...

Why are people worrying about Villa, WBA and Norwich when none of their players would make either team anyway....?

cheers - apologies for my idle curiosity - not one of my best character traits - I blame the Pompey Takeover Saga thread for turning me into a nosey parker

I know I'm about to kill a cat with my curiosity but... Why did you buy more tickets than you needed yesterday...?

One and a half steps.... Eastleigh reached the conference south play-offs last night...

Anyway....popcorn at the ready for the 10:30 press conference...

Yes, of course. If you're a Pompey fan you can detach and distance yourself from all the bad things that were done in your name but keep all the good stuff. A history pick and mix if you like. FA Cup win....? "Kanu is our hero!".... Players being paid to much....? "Kanu! Leave the club without being paid what you're due you leaching scum!"

Or....God exists but she's a hypocritical buffoon?

She. God is a woman.

What shape are Duncan's earlobes?

The thing that bothers me most about these hastily cobbled together summaries of the last 5 years is that they gloss over the total debt written off and just refer to the CVA2 figure of c.£60m. The greater amount 'lost' in Admin1/CVA1 gets swept under the carpet of history. It's not just the fans that do this, the national media do it too. Hey ho.... What's another c.£100m between friends...

Facepalms at the ready...(you'll need at least a dozen for this one).... http://ryanstillwell.wordpress.com/2013/04/22/you-say-we-werent-punished/

@Luke_shaw3: Typical, the first day we get some good sun I go and burn myself ???

@pn_jordan_cross: Presser tomorrow to unveil details of Trust's new regime. Guy set to be unveiled and lots of Qs to be answered. Should be a good 'un #Pompey @pn_jordan_cross: there will be live coverage at http://t.co/es42CGe2jK with all the latest coming out of the presser #Pompey @pn_jordan_cross: Press conference is due to start at 10.30am #Pompey

@TomCoull: Well done @eastleighfc for getting into the Conference South play-offs. Could be one division below Pompey next season!

They are obviously reluctant to correspond about Pompey's situation specifically so I've now tried a different tact with them and 'de-personalised' my query... I've asked them to explain why there are inconsistencies in their 'carry over' policy re: points deductions, highlighting that surely the whole reason for introducing the concept of carrying points over (in other scenarios) is so that clubs don't avoid the punishment simply by being relegated. Will be interesting to see what platitudes they throw at a question fired from a more philosophical angle...
