@bigadamsport: Just arranged for Trevor Birch to enlighten us further at 0820 tomorrow morning on @BBCRadioSolent #pompey Will they ask any killer questions though...?

Recommended retail price = £500; Special Pompey price = £2

@bigadamsport: Just had email from #pompey administrators stating that the club will close on August 10th, unless players compromise - brinkmanship is on

That's the underlying beauty of this saga....there is no bad scenario outcome from our perspective :-)

@TonyHusbandBBC: #pompey Portsmouth FC will close on August 10, if existing players do not agree compromise deals or move to other clubs, administrator says. Oh Tony, Tony, Tony....please don't tell me you've fallen for the same mantra... Are there any savvy journalists out there? Serious question.

You like sitting in empty stadia with no games on...? ;-)

@officialpompey: "5-1 and we still love you" sing the #Pompey fans

@officialpompey: Harley back on for Harris (80 mins) #pompey Are they recording a new series of 'Runaround' or something?

Neil Allen in saying it like it is shocker... @pn_neil_allen: Ashley Westwood booked for a two footed challenge on Vincelot. Ugly! #Pompey

Where the **** did they get the money to wash those kits after the last game?

@officialpompey: Magri back on in place of Howard (71 mins) #pompey That's one way of making the squad appear bigger I suppose...

5-1

I disagree

@officialpompey: GOAL: Brighton 3 #Pompey 1 (Thompson 45) Boooo

One player down...a crunching Brighton tackle apparently...no one likes to see that...especially for an already depleted squad... @pn_neil_allen: Dan Thompson on for the injured McLeod (41 mins). #Pompey

Yeah, but this being Pompey, the scoreline is someone else's fault - nothing to do with them... @pn_neil_allen: Scoreline harsh on #Pompey at present. Definitely don't deserve to be 3-0 down. Some excellent Brighton finishes though.

Oops....@officialpompey: Goal: Brighton 3 (Vicente 34) #Pompey 0

I do believe you've just been "whooshed" sir...

@officialpompey: Goal: Brighton 2 (Vicente 25) #Pompey 0

Brighton take the lead... @pn_neil_allen: Tal Ben Haim is the subject of a few songs from the #Pompey crowd. Best not repeat the words.

Ben Haim has spoken out saying that the administrator should cut some of their £650,000 costs. But Birch responded: "What nonsense. We have had authority from the creditors for £425,000 but to keep the club alive we have taken just £200,000 for six months work. Our costs are more than £1 million, which we will never recover." Why would a profit making company such as PKF continue with a job for so long that it ends up affecting the company's bottom line? That sounds like a great business model....they and Pompey seem like a good fiscal match....

Birch said. "The only way the club can be saved is if the players accept compromise deals" ...conveniently forgetting that another way the club can be saved is if Chainrai agrees to divert the parachute payments to the players.... the payments that are rightfully theirs..... sigh....

I think that's about the 4th different deadline Birch has given in the last 7 days.

No surprises during the interview -Allen basically banged on about the ball being in the players' court - "if they leave then the club survive"....lots of bleeding heart agreement from the presenters....
