I can't read and I can't write but that don't really matter, Joe comes from Motherwell, And he can eat my tax bill

I agree with this, plus... 5) Saints play Sunderland at St Mary's soon, so a good chance to make back those three points.

Two current partners, one whose product I have, one I don't...

Development squad members Dan Thompson and George Colson have joined Blue Square Bet South side Dorchester on loan for a month. Yet more players they could be using in their first team, loaned out so Pompey can bring in better players!

tbf he clearly did something right if a Championship club now want to sign him.

Liquidation is what any other company that has failed three times and racked up £150+ million of debt (including huge figures to the taxman) would have had ages ago, so it is fully deserved. It would also wipe out the club's history and any "phoenix club" can have no legitimate claim to the league and cup wins, as it would be a completely different entity.

Come on lads, own up. Which of us nutjobs sent that in?

What has been said?

Just highlights a key flaw in the trust's "business plan". Their budget is based on an average significantly above this, this season looks like a relegation season with or without the -10 points. The attendances won't pick up if they stay in a relegation fight. The trust also budgeted for a 30,000 total in the 1st rounds of the FA cup, League Cup and JPT and in reality only got 18,857. The trust continue to vastly overestimate the wonderful Pompey support (or lack of support). Next season in League Two will see even less interest and attendances drop even more. How will the trust make up the shortfall? A 4th administration beckons in the next 2 to 3 years (if not sooner).

Portsmouth 0 - Leyton Orient 1

And where would you put him in our 4231 system?

De Ridder doesn't make the matchday 18 either do you can't swap them. Did you not see Mayuka vs Tottenham? He changed the game. On what is that based? Rodriguez has a good record of goalscoring in the Championship and has 1 Premier League goal this season. Tadanari Lee has scored 1 goal whilst in England vs Derby last season.

He is fit, but Saints have a squad of twenty four over 21's plus numerous others under 21. Adkins can only name eighteen on a matchday, they can't all be involved.

It is a screenshot of Saints under 18's vs Tottenham last week on Saints Player. So it is on the OS and isn't that hard to find. The media department did say near the start of the build that they would be giving us monthly update videos which didn't happen and is disappointing.

I'm on the ball.

It isn't a Stoke board, it has a forum for every club.

Even on the 26th October it is a daft thread.

Charlton are a Championship team.

The last game they had in Europe used a number of their first choice XI... 01 Krul 02 Coloccini 06 Williamson (S Taylor - 58' ) 34 Tavernier 08 Anita 20 Bigirimana (Cabaye - 72' Booked ) 22 Marveaux 24 Tiote Booked 25 Obertan 23 Sh Ameobi 28 Sa Ameobi (Amalfitano - 83' ) Substitutes 21 Elliot 03 Santon 27 S Taylor 31 Ferguson 04 Cabaye 17 Amalfitano 09 Cisse They won't have long to prepare tactically for the Saints game as they will get Friday off to recover from the game on Thursday and travel to Southampton on Saturday for Sunday's game. Saints should (in theory) be a fresher and more prepared for the game.

Yes, people have said that it had started again, but the picture in my opening post is more solid evidence than hearsay. I thought a wider audience might be interested to see such a picture.
