trousers

What's with the club's obsession with not having stripes that go all the way up to the shoulders and instead having a strip of colour contrast that looks like an afterthought...?

I actually quite like these mock ups...

That moment you get in at half midnight after a night out and only just remember that Pompey played earlier this evening...

Cheers Benjii So, what I don't get is that if not complying with these laws makes someone unfit to own/run a football club then, regardless of when the law was brought in, as of 'today' we have an owner that the current Premier League rules deem unfit? I guess the question I'm therefore asking is why (on Earth) wouldn't new rules apply retrospectively? Surely someone is either 'fit' to run a football club or they're not, regardless of an arbirtrary moment in time when they were judged....? #analogy klaxon# Just because my car was roadworthy when it passed its MoT doesn't mean it's currently roadworthy.... Unless, of course, Goa managed to convince the Premier League that he wouldn't fail the new tests, even if he was tested under the rules as they stand today...? Yours thinking-out-loudly (as per usual)....

Can someone remind me which specific Premier League owners test Gao would have failed if the current rules had been in place before he took over the club? Cheers

What colour is the tie that goes with that....?

Lorks a lordy....

Yep... the site's been fairly slow/tempermental of late.

"everyone"...?

Hmm... the plot does indeed thicken... Alas, no mention of the fate of the squirrel sadly

Ha... nicely sums up the first 4 pages on here.... *waves to Jonathan White* This bit caught my eye: "Others speculated that the Justin Tan quoted in the club statement as business development manager of LD Sports was the same person who works for Shanghai-based digital agency Mailman. The company have confirmed this to not be the case." So, just a coincidence that the Justin Tan (working for Mailman) who was involved with Saints a few months ago (https://www.thedrum.com/news/2018/12/11/southampton-fc-and-tlcbet-roll-out-video-series-with-chinese-influencers) is not the same Justin Tan that works for 'LD Sports' (https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17636029.southampton-to-be-sponsored-by-ld-sports/)...? 'Justin' and 'Tan' must be quite a common name combination I guess...

Was thinking the same earlier. I wonder how much of the 'head in sand' mentality of Pompey fans during that era will be airbrushed from the forthcoming in-house documentary....? https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/the-portsmouth-film-which-its-makers-hope-can-inspire-disillusioned-fans-to-save-their-clubs-1-8921594

For the squirrel or the sponsorship deal?

I wonder if its too late to adapt the plans to accommodate squirrels in some capacity....?

Ha... I would be very concerned you appear to be on the same wavelength as me

Actually, sod the squirrel, it's Gary Diaz/Dias I'm most concerned about

Does this mean they no longer have a 2,000 employee HQ just down the road from SMS?

So, does the fact they've taken down the 'fake' website add weight to any conspiracy theories or pour cold water on them...? Something to hide...? Anyway, a big hello to the 'LD Sports' person who has seemingly been reading this forum for the last 24 hours P.s. hope the squirrel is ok

I think you might be mistaking me for someone who thinks through stuff before posting nonsense on an internet football forum...

Where does the squirrel fit into things?

Game over Promotion Never any doubt

6 minutes added time... WTF?
