The commentator just said "There is no shame being 4-0 down to Gibraltar". Umm...!

Pompey are playing Brighton soon, it is going to be a massacre!

What do any of those things have to do with the Gibraltar FA? How does the FA of a settlement of 30,000 people make any real money? As I said, last time they were in admin they went on a foreign tour claiming it was paid for by sponsors. Their accounts showed the club were billed some of the costs. They lied before, maybe they are lying again...?

How much money does the FA for a population of 30,000 people make each year? Not a lot I'd guess. Certainly not enough to fund flights, hotels and expenses for 25+ people for 10 days.

They claim it is all being paid for by the Gibraltar FA (with a population of 30,000 their FA can't have much money) and a local businessman. They said similar last time they went on tour whilst in administration and their accounts showed the club was billed for some of the costs. They lied then, maybe they are lying again...?

Rendition of "When the Saints..." from the Gibraltar fans!

I poked him too hard. Sorry Adam.

I think he is aware that if Pompey go under he will have to make cuts with his commentary team with no Pompey professional football games to cover. Possible conflict of interest for BBC Radio Solent in their reporting of this?

Their friendly tonight is being streamed on here from 7pm... http://www.RockStream.tv/channels/sports/

Why 75%? As they have all been screwed over it should be 100%. They already passed 75% in the vote in 2010 for the failed CVA, this is different.

48 year old Doncaster Rovers manager Dean Saunders played and scored in a friendly last week... http://www.southyorkshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football/doncaster-rovers/match-report-cleethorpes-town-2-doncaster-rovers-4-1-4742431

Makes sense to scout it, high standard, close-by, relatively cheap transfer fees/wages and lots of the players speak English fluently.

Echo journalist thinks the interest is real... Gordon Simpson ‏@gordonsimpson Not saying a deal will necessarily get done, but #saintsfc interest in Jeremain Lens - http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7913387/Saints-focus-on-Lens - is definitely real.

Surely to have any chance of removing the deduction they would need 100% support from the 2010 creditors. I can't see HMRC being happy with today's plea for help.

Does it really matter? Not sure what good it will do. If you were owed £10,000 and a company ends up paying you £40 would you be happy to support them in a case of removing a points deduction?

Good thing you aren't a bookie with your 17th place prediction last season. You'd be quickly made bankrupt!

Adkins said that had Davis been fit (he is still recovering from minor groin operation) then he would have played on Saturday in the Memorial Cup. Unless you think Adkins is a liar, then Davis can play for Saints in friendlies.

There won't be an official data update for the reason you gave.

We can only name 25 players over 21 years old, it is likely Butterfield will be told he won't be one of those 25. He'll have little choice but to move if he wants to play next season.

He has me beat there, I did not know that.

I was a little more detailed and gave options of who he may have confused Nani with.

Man Utd lineup for that game... 40 Amos 06 Evans 12 Smalling 20 Fabio Da Silva Booked (Fryers - 37' ) 21 Rafael (Pogba - 64' ) 13 Park Ji-sung 25 Valencia 28 Gibson 09 Berbatov (Morrison - 46' ) 27 Macheda 32 Diouf Substitutes 34 Lindegaard 38 Keane 51 Fryers 42 Pogba 49 Morrison 52 Cole 53 Lingard

Why would Buttner be excited about a 50k stadium if it was 10 years away? Buttner could have just left it at being excited about joining an ambitious club. And what about my second sentence?

I doubt Buttner would be that bothered if it wasn't relatively soon. In any case it gives us a figure for the capacity Cortese is telling prospective signings.
