Hartlepool is known as the town that during the Napoleonic wars apparently hung a monkey as they thought it was a French spy. The team's mascot is 'Angus the Monkey and they voted him mayor of the city.

Well the OS wouldn't lie they can find the figure quite easily. They sold 195 away stand tickets so put 195 on the OS. Imagine they were taking up 19 rows of seats and had 10 fans in each row = 190 Seems about right.

Quite a large margin of error there! As there were 195 Hartlepool fans.

Is it not just the way some players have them folded and/or some have tape on hold them up covering the stripes. Not that this matters in any way!

Playing this formation for the first 10 minutes didn't work very well Mr Pardew! Davis Harding Fonte Seaborne Mills Hammond Schneiderlin Puncheon Papa Waigo Lambert Barnard As soon as Hartlepool scored he changed to 442, which improved things but still wasn't a very convincing performance. Please no more Paul Wotton! He is terrible.

Not going to be happen but what would be awesome is if Pompey fans do put together this appeal and succeed. However even with the 9 points back they go down anyway and their case opens the way for Saints to get their 10 points back. None of this has any chance of happening as it is a members club and all teams agreed to the rules and the PL are fully entitled to deduct points should they so wish.

A team that hasn't won away for 12 games coming to St Mary's and you think 15/2 is inviting?

You think that Spurs are equal to Pompey in terms of rivalry?

No he doesn't. He hasn't played for a team for two years. Last team he played for was Bognor Regis. He is 42 years old.

Who? Also do you realise how old Kelvin Davis and David Connolly are? 33 and 32. Saints won't be in the Premiership until 2012/13 at the very earliest. If either play for Saints in the Premiership I'll get a Pompey tattoo.

That site doesn't have a clue and has little credibility for a start it states Seaborne and Hammond were free transfers which is clearly wrong.

As much as I hate to defend Rupert, neither did he.

No, because Dindane is only one player and thus not against any rules to not play him. Not like Wolves changing all ten outfield players.

Puncheon is cup tied. Along with Barnard and Seaborne.

The reason Dindane isn't going to play for Pompey again... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8578362.stm I love how Grant says "we don't have £4m at the moment" as if they might soon

By 10pm on Tuesday Saints "could" be 10 points from the playoffs with 9 games left. Of course reaching the playoffs will likely mean winning 10 out of 10 games and would be VERY difficult but it is certainly not impossible. Especially when you look at the remaining fixtures for Saints and the playoff rivals.

I don't trust Arizona's ability to rate players!

All of Charlton's remaining games, very tricky... Huddersfield A MK Dons A Carlisle H Southampton A Exeter A Oldham A Colchester A Leeds H Norwich H

You could have still registered him using the option from the squad page.

Some Pompey fans are copying Man Utd and starting a scarf protest. Pompey originally played in pink so are using pink scarfs like the yellow/green scarfs of Man Utd. Seems a strange idea as the yellow/green protest is against the Glazers. Who are Pompey fans actually protesting about when the club is being run by an independent administrator? My theory is these protests are started by the owners of scarf factories. Like the episode of Blackadder and the leaches.

Always thought he was dodgy... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/portsmouth/article7069905.ece

He was never relegated from the Prem. All Prem refs have the occasional game in the Football League.

He also stated that he doesn't court publicity. Yet...he goes on Quay radio, meets fans with press "around", talks to SSN and also goes on Secret Millionaire on Channel Four which is basically a look at me and how nice and generous I am program.
