For those that missed it this morning...

Mods - sorry - feel free to delete - just noticed this is old news (no idea why the echo have just tweeted it)

@dailyecho: [saints] Palace chief hits out at Saints http://t.co/CAqL3IKn (via @the_saints)

I've just tweeted him saying it would be good to hear what Birch thought about Taylor's comments re: guaranteed parachute payments to players.

@bigadamsport: Just arranged for Trevor Birch to enlighten us further at 0820 tomorrow morning on @BBCRadioSolent #pompey Will they ask any killer questions though...?

Recommended retail price = £500; Special Pompey price = £2

@bigadamsport: Just had email from #pompey administrators stating that the club will close on August 10th, unless players compromise - brinkmanship is on

That's the underlying beauty of this saga....there is no bad scenario outcome from our perspective :-)

@TonyHusbandBBC: #pompey Portsmouth FC will close on August 10, if existing players do not agree compromise deals or move to other clubs, administrator says. Oh Tony, Tony, Tony....please don't tell me you've fallen for the same mantra... Are there any savvy journalists out there? Serious question.

You like sitting in empty stadia with no games on...? ;-)

@officialpompey: "5-1 and we still love you" sing the #Pompey fans

@officialpompey: Harley back on for Harris (80 mins) #pompey Are they recording a new series of 'Runaround' or something?

Neil Allen in saying it like it is shocker... @pn_neil_allen: Ashley Westwood booked for a two footed challenge on Vincelot. Ugly! #Pompey

Where the **** did they get the money to wash those kits after the last game?

@officialpompey: Magri back on in place of Howard (71 mins) #pompey That's one way of making the squad appear bigger I suppose...

5-1

I disagree

@officialpompey: GOAL: Brighton 3 #Pompey 1 (Thompson 45) Boooo

One player down...a crunching Brighton tackle apparently...no one likes to see that...especially for an already depleted squad... @pn_neil_allen: Dan Thompson on for the injured McLeod (41 mins). #Pompey

Yeah, but this being Pompey, the scoreline is someone else's fault - nothing to do with them... @pn_neil_allen: Scoreline harsh on #Pompey at present. Definitely don't deserve to be 3-0 down. Some excellent Brighton finishes though.

Oops....@officialpompey: Goal: Brighton 3 (Vicente 34) #Pompey 0

I do believe you've just been "whooshed" sir...
