Actually, not as cringeworthy as i'd imagined, but yet another commentator stating as more or less fact that the players won't get anything in the event of liquidation. I'm hearing that so often now I'm starting to take it as factually correct...which I guess is the aim of everyone trotting out the same mantra....grind down the doubters...

Before I click on that link, how many facepalms will I require afterwards?

I see what you did there...

You forgot.... (4) a last minute rescue package from Redknapp and Storrie...

@pn_neil_allen: Chainrai wants the club, Andronikou around, trouble shifting Ben Haim, Kanu in contract wrangle. For #Pompey it's the summer of 2010 again. So, what are you saying Mr Allen...? That the club would be better off in the long run if they were liquidated now and start again with a clean slate? Or would you prefer the same head-in-sand mistakes to be made all over again? When will this chap realise we all want the same conclusion to this saga (albeit for slightly different reasons) :-)

So if a mate tells you he's going to burgle a house and you go along but wait outside in the car with dark sunglasses and the radio up loud you're in no way to blame for the crime taking place are you? Pompey fans....distorting reality and rewriting history since the beginning of time.

I read that as lazy journalism. As in " Saints in for a Celtic player = journo remembers we were in for Hooper last season so trots it out again to fill a few lines". Call me an old cynic...

Steady...we don't want to upset Mr Allen too much....one step at a time... :-)

I initially thought the same but I guess we'd ideally have a like for like cover for each position / style. But that said, isn't Davis similar too? Hmmm...dunno

Sounds like the sort of "Jimmy Case" character that we've been missing for years...

Wiki says.... Style of play Kayal is a central midfielder but he is capable of performing various different roles within the position. He can play as a defensive midfielder, sitting in front of the back four and stifling the opposition or as a box-to-box midfielder, protecting the defenders as well as supporting the forwards. Although he is more renowned for his defensive capabilities than attacking, he is still able to contribute well to going forward.[34] Kayal is a tenacious, hard working midfielder, known for high stamina level, aggressive tackling and combatative edge, he also has great passing ability and quick feet.[34][35] Ex-Celtic and Israel midfielder Eyal Berkovic, described him as being: "Perfect for British football. He is strong technically, very aware but really competitive...He will have no problem adapting to the style in Scotland - he will love the speed and aggression.[36]

@pn_neil_allen: @S13SFC @colinfarmery What an absolute disgrace there are people actually wanting a football club to remain in existence. Shameful. I'm tempted to reply along the lines of: Would you keep alive a family pet that was riddled with an incurable disease or would you put it out of it's misery and get another one to replace it?

@solentsport: Reports in East Midlands say #pompey defender Greg Halford cleared for talks with Nottingham Forest FC

Because some people are guaranteed to react to it rather than ignore...? ;-)
