Or, at the very least, they should just give us the points. After all, we only want a level playing field.

Question for you Mikey - why do you automatically assume that anybody who turns up to protest at government actions is a 'nutjob'? And, in fact, what exactly is a nutjob?

That really does defy belief. He wants some common sense from the FL because it is a desperate situation and they need to be helped. If the FL were to actually employ some common sense then they would kick them out of the league altogether. Not content with being at a level way above where they should be after their sh*t-or-bust strategy put them bust and in the sh*t, he now expects yet more special treatment from the FL. Appy - you have youth players available to fill your bench. If you don't want to use them that is solely down to you, but it is not the responsibility of the FL or anybody else to bail you out if you can't be competitive as a result.

I read some website a few years ago where somebody demonstrated how you could leaglly get out of having to pay the license on the grounds of the government breaching the terms of the 'tax' in some way, by serving some kind of notice on the inspector when he/she visits. Can't remember where I found it but it's worth searching on if people really object to it. I used to be very much against the idea of a TV tax (which is all it really is - you are paying the government for the right to use your TV set and they, in turn, provide funds to the BBC from the revenue) but I'm not so bothered now. As many people have pointed out, if the BBC were forced to operate as a commercial station we would lose all of the wonderfully educational stuff they output because their sole focus would be on getting in maximum viewing figures to increase their profits.

I wasn't at the game yesterday so I can't really judge, but a lot of the comments on here appear to show he wasn't that great yesterday. Our other full back set up three goals yesterday but they put Harding in the TOTD!?!?!? I knew there was a very good reason I don't buy the Mirror.

Best part of seven years I have been waiting to see that headline. Oh how sweet it is!

They lost 4-0 to Palace today.

Goal scored on 90 +8:49 according to BBC. What happened there then? Must have been a serious injury or something.

Perfect. We go back to the top, Pompey go level on points with bottom (whenever the table will finally update to show the 10-point deduction). Couldn't ask for better. Sounds like we played some superb stuff today as well - definitely got our mojo back it seems. And the team we go away to next week got d1cked 4-0 to an average team as well.

Cork, Lambert, Fonte. Hell, what about Davis!

BBC sport has been really sh*te since the facelift of the site. Takes such a long time to update and stats are all over the place. I cannot believe for one second that Derby have had 58% possession today.

Pompey only off the bottom on GD now!

BARNSLEY YOU F***ING BEAUTIES!!!!! Gonna be a good day I feel

WTF!?!?!? The very second I hit the submit button he goes and scores a screamer! Spooky sh*t! Anyway... WooT 4-0!

I would really love for Lee to get his first goal today

Punch on for Chappers

Palace 4-0 Watford now. Bodes well for us for next week - I hope!

3-0!!!!!!! - Lallana!!!!!!!!

Really? What makes you so suspicious?

Indeed. Just need Barnsley to score now to send Pompey bottom!

FFS! We never score from corners!

***BREAKING NEWS*** Portsmouth have announced they are to merge with Havant & Waterloovile with immediate effect. The club will henceforth be known as Portalooville.

Sounds like we let them back into it for the last 10 minutes of that half. Would have been nice to go in to the break with a bigger cushion but I still can't see us losing this now. One more goal should be enough I reckon - Derby have really struggled to score away from home recently.

OOooh. Ricky close from the free kick there. Corner

Not sure. BBC Sport shows he had been booked already.
