http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17340145 Millwall to sign Leeds United goalkeeper Maik Taylor Millwall are set to sign Leeds United goalkeeper Maik Taylor on an emergency loan deal until the end of the season. The 40-year-old Northern Ireland international, who has won 88 caps for his country, is being brought in due to Steve Mildenhall's ankle injury. Taylor is yet to make an appearance at Elland Road since signing in November. He began his career at Farnborough followed by spells at Barnet, Southampton and Fulham, before signing for Birmingham in 2004 for £1.5m. Taylor went on to make 242 appearances for Blues over a seven-year spell at St Andrew's.

A new article in today's Times but can't read it (subscriber only).... http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/football/footballleague/article3347875.ece Will the final bell be chiming for Portsmouth in two months? Matt Dickinson The Times Published: 12 March 2012 Football League ...to Ali Al Faraj. Portsmouth say they were close to folding before and since Al Fahim’s takeover. February 2010 Balram Chainrai becomes the club’s fourth owner in six months. A month later Portsmouth are docked nine points for moving into administration...

Haven't the Football League set a precident of penalising a club regardless of the legal position though? (i.e. Southampton Football Club Ltd were penalised for going into administration despite the fact that the club itself never legally went administration) In other words, just because the current (NewCo) "Portsmouth Football Club" aren't legally responsible for honouring the OldCo CVA, it doesn't prevent the FL from penalising them from a "to all intents and purposes it's the same entity" perspective if 'they' (NewCo) don't honour it, does it?

@TonyHusbandBBC: #pompey leader of City Council says he feels club should not be paying anyone more than £5k a month in wages at present.

Ah. Okey dokes. Cheers. Not the first time that one of my hunches has been wide of the mark!

I had assumed he was referring to Brian Howe & co

I'd almost forgotten there was still a takeover saga going on

@solentsport: Audioboo: #saintsfc Rickie Lambert speaking to @jordansibley after becoming FL Championship Player Of Year http://t.co/RiSA4Sh9

It won't happen. Football fans are more intelligent than that.

They're still banging on about it this morning.... @pn_neil_allen: RT @pmryderesq: @jordansibley My genuine belief is that you should resign your position come the morning. You have brought shame upon your club tonight

I wonder who was there to represent Pompey? The bloke running the administration of their parent company or the bloke running the administration of the child company? Or perhaps they both went to make it a true family affair....?

He always posts the match day team sheet on his own twitter account just before it goes out on the official account.

Don't think so....just a young lady at the awards who tweeted having her photo taken with the great man (and Mr Sibley on the left)

Neil Allen ‏ @pn_neil_allen @officialpompey Incredible cheap shot from @jordansibley on a night when so many people at #Pompey deserve credit for winning an award. Charlie Sharp ‏ @Charlie_Sharp94 @jordansibley You absolute b*****d. You look like a *****, you are the 'spokesman' for a team full of ****s. #PUP #WeWillNeverDie #Pompey

1/2: @pn_neil_allen: RT @pompeytrust: @officialpompey Mr Sibley, as Spokesman for Southampton FC, should apologise to the PFC Community team for his comments, shameful

@jordansibley: No idea what quality of audio is like & may be a bit shaky in places, but here is Rickie's acceptance speech #saintsfc http://t.co/fQ2zbFRZ

Neil Allen at the Portsmouth News has just re-tweeted the above. I feel a bun fight coming on....
