[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] 12:22 [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Steve: I'm sighing....It's not compulsory that you are here to join us, although I very much enjoy your company. I haven't ignored anything yet - ploughing through them all as best as possible... [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] 12:21 [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Steve: I stand by my colleage as I have on many occasions before. Surely you want to know if someone like Joseph Cala - who I presume you mean - is interested in buying Pompey? Or should we keep it quiet in case it offends? [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

12:18 [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Comment From Milton massive Any news on this weeks pack the park?? Last week 17500 was a massive crowd, shows our class and that we trueley are the best fans in the world. PUPPPU[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] 12:20 [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Steve: Let's not get overboard. Leeds brought down plenty and filled the Milton end. But at least it was a bigger crowd than previous occasions this season. I'm sensing some red and white persuasion in your line of questioning! Trying to go undercover perhaps??! [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

12:18 [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Comment From Russell Hobbs Hi Steve, What do you think of Aston Villa announcing this week that they made a loss £50m+ last season? Puts our relatively low debts into perspective and I don't hear anyone calling them cheats!

12:13 [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Comment From GLT Hi Steve........Do you think that the blues have gained an unfair advantage over the other teams in the CCC, by entering admin for a second time.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] 12:14 [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Steve: Again, this is tough but actually I do. If you are a Coventry fan, you might look at players like Lawrence, Varney, Norris, Henderson, Pearce or whoever else and think "we could do with some of them". In effect, Pompey have players that they cannot afford. Now who is to blame for that is another question. At the time they bought some of these players, they could afford them. All I know is that if I supported another team, I would think it's unfair. [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

12:12 [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Comment From Fawcett inn cider Hi Steve. What i dont get is how we are in admin again when we not paid for the last one yet? im no finance guy but it dosent stack up to me, we owe everyone still for our debts and we are doing the same thing now without paying a penny to the last admin? confused! PUP[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] 12:12 [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Steve: The payments for the CVA that was agreed were due to start on April 1....we didn't get there....[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

12:08 [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Comment From Task When are you going to stop those Southampton fans ruining our forum?[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] 12:09 [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Steve: Sadly freedom of speech can be a bit of pain at times! Just like some Pompey fans have, erm, unusual ideas on certain things, so do our friends from the west who always seem obsessed by attendances. I would have thought they have better things to talk about among themselves considering how well their team is going but obviously not. The pull of Pompey affects us all it seems...

And they're under starters orders..... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/webchats

Might be worth keeping an eye on Brian Howe's company that he set up in the States a few years ago - can't recall the exact name of the company off the top of my head but it's got 'Pompey' in the title somewhere. I stumbled across it when Cala first came on the scene and it looked pretty dormant at that time (Howe's Pompey company that is).

Something like this would be cool..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/interactive/timelines/british/index_embed.shtml No pressure....

Or, looking at it another way, we're still beng paid for working one day less for 3 years out of every 4....

On a slightly tangential note, I've been contemplating buying an Airport Express unit for streaming iTunes from the PC to the hifi in the lounge. Until last night that is. Was mucking around with various configs and apps last night and ended up plugging my iPhone into the hifi, 'home shared' with the PC's iTunes library and with my iPhone controlled remotely from my wife's iPad, courtesy of the Tango Remote Control app. Hey presto...iTunes music streaming without splashing out £99 on an Apple Airport Express gizmo.

That's what they told the creditors last time around.... ;-)

Fair point!

Aren't bibles typically written 400 years after the event....?

@pn_neil_allen: RT @SOSPompey: Villa announce losses of over £50m, I wonder if ppl will start calling them cheats! Especially those w@*#$+ on Talksport.

1/2: @pn_neil_allen: RT @officialpompey: The Official PFC website is back online! Please visit http://t.co/iwxKcDsv for all of the latest information about the club

Well spotted that man. Nothing gets past some of the more observant folk on here.

Aw, tough luck there buddy. It's not all doom and gloom though - there's still a few seats for Chris de Burgh next month. Only trouble is it clashes with once in a lifetime opportunity to watch the mighty Barnsley Football Club play at St Mary's. Toss you for it?

Good for you sir. And there was me having you down as one of those sad blokes that goes to watch football week in week out to the exclusion of a diverse social life. I take it all back. That'll teach me to judge a pamphlet by it's cover.

From a purely legal and/or technical perspective, Birch can string out the administration until the end of the season at least. Birch was appointed on 17th February and, according to paragraph 51 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986, has a maximum of 10 weeks in which to hold the initial creditors' meeting. So, the latest date he has to get creditors around the table is 27th April, which happens to be the day before the last day of the season. As well as giving a latest timeframe, the aforementioned Insolvency Act also stipulates that the administrator should set a date for the initial creditors' meeting "as soon as is reasonably practicable after the company enters administration" so I guess it will be interesting to see whether Birch is indeed looking to string this out as long as possible or nip it in the bud sooner rather than later. By comparison, CSI went into administration on 25th November 2011 and the notice for the initial creditors meeting was announced by Andronikou on 19th January 2012, nearly 8 weeks later. The CSI creditors' meeting itself took place on 2nd February 2012, which was only 1 day before the 10 week deadline....nothing like cutting it fine!

Superb. Can someone arrange a Billy Sh1te and Rallyboy live tour in the not too distant future please?

National Express?

Arguably? I thought it was the best statement on this thread thus far without a shadow of doubt.
