I tend to agree with the train of your thought. I guess the acid test would be whether or not you'd be happy to see them sponsor Saints' kit, or whether you'd feel it "wasn't quite right"?

And there was me thinking that non-Tory's treated all Max Hastings articles as garbage. #onlywhenitsuits I agree with his description of Labour though...

Haven't read this yet but my hanky is duly poised... @pn_neil_allen: Touching, heart-felt message from a #Pompey fan to the Football League in today's Daily Express. Emotional stuff. http://t.co/tYPCpQlL Edit: probably as close as we'll get to an admission of the club cheating (partly)...

This would be a delightful twist - Twitter is currently awash with Pompey fans singing Hall's praises for his investigations but I doubt that it's dawned on many of them that it's these very revelations that could give what the Football League need to throw the book at the club once and for all...

There was a very easy way of getting your club back when these ownership revelations started to surface 3 years ago...start a new club (taking the spiritual part of it with you) in the lower leagues, leaving Chainrai with the empty shell. You could have been knocking back on the door of the football league again within 5 years or so. It's all very noble what the Trust are trying to do, it's just that they're 3 years late.

@pn_neil_allen: Another stunning piece from @blueballoo2000 now out. Please open your mind and read it. #Pompey http://t.co/eGXkIfbB It's called investigative journalism Mr Allen...

I've re-worded his statement slightly.. Dear taxpayers, charities and local businesses who have lost 98% of c.£150m over the last 3 years, Up yours you mugs! Love Gabor and everyone at Pompey

Tacit confirmation (as if any was needed) from the News that Pompey are fielding a player that (on paper) is too good for League One... "Buzsaky confessed he’s still a way from full fitness and needs time to get to the level needed where he can wreak havoc." http://m.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/buzsaky-that-s-not-good-enough-1-4350022

I assume the agenda item goes something like "Let's talk about Pompey for 5 minutes and defer any decision making until the next meeting in 6 weeks time"

@solentsport: GOAL #Pompey 1-3 Wycombe. Morgan extends the lead again scoring off the rebound of a missed penalty.

Of course, we all know what this means....another post match moan from Appy about how uncompetitive his squad is and how unfair everything is. Bless.

It was both.

Couldn't agree more...

Oops... @solentsport: GOAL #Pompey 0-2 Wycombe. Dean Morgan doubles the lead inside ten minutes.

@solentsport: GOAL #pompey 0-1 Wycombe.Grant stuns Fratton Park with a goal after 13 seconds!

I'd see a doctor about that raw nerve if I were you.

Just when we thought the plot couldn't get any thicker....

Portsmouth In April 2007 Johnson was called upon to resign by the MPs for the city of Portsmouth after claiming in a column for GQ that the city was "one of the most depressed towns in Southern England, a place that is arguably too full of drugs, obesity, underachievement and Labour MPs"

Maybe Boris should go for President of the USA if he doesn't get a chance at PM (he was born in New York so qualifies)

Why haven't we heard from Birch for several weeks? Are the rumours about him being sidelined true?

Reading between the lines at the time, I'm inclined to believe there was more 'intrigue' to the Barclays decision than we saw on the surface. The mysterious migration of a certain Barclays account manager to work for the administrator for example....

Whoa there pardner....I don't see that as "cheating" because Barclays changed the rules half way through the game.... We were servicing our debt quite satisfactorily (e.g. offloading high wage earners due to our financial difficulties....spot the difference...?) until Barclays reduced the overdraft facility by £1m which in turn triggered a c.£4,000 cheque to bounce.... It's a bit like someone raising the high-jump bar an extra foot whilst the competitor is running up and then having a pop at him for failing to clear the height. If anything we didn't "cheat" enough to increase our chances of survival in the Premier League...

When you continue to improve your squad knowing that your club is in dire financial straits whilst not paying taxes, local businesses and charities.
