Do I need to put my coffee down before opening that link...?!

Brilliant!

P.s. has someone let them know that Tommy kept a clean sheet yesterday...?

It's actually an improvement on their investigative skills over the last five years. Just think what calibre of owner they might have been able to avoid had they had the Internet at Pompey HQ a few years ago...

Good to see a journalist that's as flabergasted as we are... "And having left all their senior players at home in a bid to sell them and raise funds, the Portsmouth work experience scheme has continued apace, with news the club have taken on three more trialists to join the eight they already have at their Spanish training camp. Lord knows the Fiver's no financial wizard: but "Spanish training camp"?"

Ward-Prowse to start vs Man City please Mr Adkins

@TomCoull: Guly has been fantastic, Puncheon too. I'd say we're almost playing a 4-1-4-1, the 4 midfielders joining the attack at will. #saintsfc

Laugh out loud on commuter train moment!

My thoughts entirely. The compensation scheme exists to protect clubs who have spent money on bringing academy players through the ranks. I smell yet another 'bending the rules' rat with this one.

Linky thingy? Missed that one. Cheers

Looking back to March.... http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/893963-nathaniel-clyne-close-to-penning-shock-manchester-united-deal Metro understands that United are currently putting the finishing touches to a pre-contract agreement for Clyne, that would see him join the Red Devils when his Palace contract expires in the summer, ending a six month pursuit for one of the Championship's brightest prospects. United have been following Clyne ever since he broke into the Palace first-team at the age of 17, and made their move in January when the 20-year-old indicated he would not be signing a new deal at Selhurst Park. Manager Sir Alex Ferguson was confident he could get his man, only for the player's agent to pull the plug on a switch to Old Trafford at the last minute, believing better terms would be offered as a free agent in the summer. The decision annoyed Ferguson, but he has maintained an interest, and after instructing United chief executive David Gill to resurrect a transfer last week, he now looks like finally landing the England Under-21 youngster, with pre-contract talks ongoing. As Clyne is under the age of 23, Palace will be eligible for training compensation from United, but with the Premier League champions fearing lengthy negotiations and even a tribunal to decide an amount, they will offer £2.5 million straight up in the hope a deal can be sorted out quickly. Palace are likely to accept that bid, safe in the knowledge that they almost sold Clyne for £250,000 in 2010, when club administrators accepted the derisory offer from Wolves amid financial meltdown. Clyne eventually snubbed the offer to stay and help the club avoid relegation, but with his stock continuing to rise, he will finally head north this summer, joining United's growing collection of exiting English talent.
