Nabil Hassan ‏@NabilHassan79 #pompey announce supporters who purchase tickets for #afcb game will be protected if the club cannot fulfil fixture with funds ring-fenced. And then the official pompey twitter posts a link to a ticket page that doesn't exist.... Portsmouth FC ‏@officialpompey Bolton & Bournemouth ticket latest: http://tinyurl.com/cf8k6t7 #Pompey Yep, your money's as safe as houses guys....

Damn....beat me to it....again.... "IMHO of course"....

Joe Michalczuk ‏@joemichalczuk Just had a cup of tea with Fred Dineage - very worried about the future of the club - and certainly doesn't have the cash to bail us out!

Yep, I agree. You're entitled to compensation. Even if they don't cough up you'll have the satisfaction of using up more of their money in their time than it would have cost them to pay you compensation in the first place.

"Wrong + wrong = right"?

Nabil Hassan ‏@NabilHassan79 #pompey PFA chief Gordon Taylor: "It's embarrassing to have this situation, but there has been unfair intimidation on players."

Mr Knight speaks a lot of sense..."if we'd taken our medicine (liquidation last time) we'd be half way back by now" Mark Saggers laying into the players though....

Peter Storrie ‏@Peter_Storrie @pn_neil_allen With the amount of bank loans #pompey have had over the years, surely they are due some money back for mis-sold PPI?

Because they're being drip fed 'propaganda' from various sources perhaps....?

A transcript of part of the Gordon Taylor interview this morning: "Portsmouth has been a problem for a long long time now. It's been badly handled. Our members there have given up wages for a long long time. They're looking at trying to help save the club. They were prepared to do settlements and compromise on that. We got cooperation from the Premier League for future parachute monies to at least guarantee those payments that they were prepared to wait years to get back but the potential new owner of the club doesn't want that to happen and so it's a real stand-off at the moment"

Indeed. Yesterday Chainrai breaks his silence to join the bandwagon of people hounding the players and here is Gordon Taylor telling it like it is (at long long last) - he's saying the ball is firmly in Chainrai's court to ensure the players receive the money they are due from the parachute payments. http://www.talksport.co.uk/radio/sports-breakfast/120724/taylor-carroll-modric-and-portsmouths-fight-survival-177226 Maybe now, the likes of Allen and his merry band of finger pointers will re-direct their vitriol towards the real villain in all this....there again, perhaps that's asking too much.... I agree with Gordon Taylor: It's Chainrai that is slowly killing the club, not the players. And the Pompey fans are doing their upmost to pave the way for his return.... They really aren't very bright, are they?

Sheer brilliance. We are not worthy!

One down... @solentsport: #Pompey striker Luke Varney has completed a medical at #LUFC and is set to finalise his move north on a two-year deal

Life is someone else's dream. There's nothing any of us can do to change our behaviour. That's in the hands of Colin (the chap whose dream we're all in). I thought everyone knew this? FFS! P.s. Colin had a cheese supper last night. Make of that what you will.

@skysports_bryan: Spoken to Balu Chainrai: "Need compromise on lowering player wages.. unbearable for club. Survival lies in their hands" Even Chainrai's blaming the players now. You couldn't make this sh*t up. You seriously couldn't.

@pn_neil_allen: In just one day @SOSPompey got the UK's media to focus on #Pompey and smoked out Ben Haim and Chainrai for rare interviews. Superb effort.

@solentsport: RT @NabilHassan79: We spoke to Bob Beech from SOS #Pompey earlier, he called on the club's players to become legends and help save them: http://t.co/9J79xNuY

Not such a daft notion given Birch wanted to become our chairman a few years ago...

@TonyHusbandBBC: RT @NabilHassan79: #pompey Tal Ben Haim: "Trevor Birch must talk to us & not the press. He cannot do a deal through them, his fees are more than my wages"

@TonyHusbandBBC: RT @NabilHassan79: #pompey Tal Ben Haim: "We signed contract with good faith, we want to play football, it's very difficult but I want to help the club"
