:lol: All that stuff was nuffink to do wiv them, innit. That was the old club. Consigned to history. Apart from the good bits of course....

Ah....1968....the year of one's birth. Coincidentally, 1968 is also the number of life saving operations that Pompey's tax avoidance could have paid for.....and all to keep a decrepit football club alive. Not that I'm bitter about it....

I thought SISA still existed? Sky seen to wheel out a SISA spokesman for a comment every time we have a meltdown...

Carlsberg don't do fixtures that were guaranteed to be televised, but if they did....
