In my gut, I don't think this one is happening. We can't quite close the deal (understandably so) and both Bologna and Ramirez know they have very attractive options elsewhere. It's not like Saints are their one shot call in the Last Chance Saloon. Not attaching any blame here, btw. And also so hope I'm wrong.

Lol. Odd that block 33 is so unpopular :-) So, can we sell 2677 tickets in five days? Having sold about 30,000 so far? I reckon - sticking my neck out a mile here - probably "yes".

It will be a sellout (with exception of whatever empty seats are in the increasingly retracted Wigan end of the ground). Probably the least glamorous opening fixture imaginable, but we will get 30K - 31K. Better than many other Premiership clubs. Are you still also sticking to your view that we won't spend £20m+ on transfers this window, btw, Turkish?

All things being equal, the longer this thread goes on, the bleaker it looks basically, right?

Fair enough. I claim no expertise in this area. But I'd think the rich probably do buy their houses outright rather than over a period of 3, 5, 25 years or whatever. I accept that installments are the norm - but this smells to me like football living on tick. If the thinking is "we are spending our whole transfer budget for the next 3 years now, so let's spread the payments over 3 years" I get it though.

Can I just strike a note of concern here? Seems that this transfer looks like it will happen based on tweets/Italian articles above. But there are two possible sticking points. 1. The % owed to Penarol and how this is handled, but more worryingly: 2. Whether we pay in installments or cash up front. If we don't have the ability to pay upfront, I'm a tad concerned about our finances.

This anti-Guly stuff just perplexes me. He had a very good game with a very tough remit for first 55 minutes. He is a frustrating player on occasions, I guess, e.g. the semi-airshot. But I'd give him 8/10 for today's performance, I think.

Great performance. Still choked we didn't get a point or 3, but that's me being greedy. I thought Fonte was our MotM and truly superb - am I alone in this? (it's all a blur now)

The fact that he was infinitely wrong doesn't get you infinite pints. Sorry.

1 pint. No question.

Quite an amazing first set of results, all told.

What chance this letter will be replied to? Any views on the value of the ground? Have heard estimates ranging from £2m to £7m (with Chanrai holding out for £18m?) http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/trust-appeals-to-chainrai-to-do-a-deal-over-pompey-1-4178978?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

It's been a long night. And I'm desperate.

Wished I heard that. That makes him Sherlock Holmes compared to some of the journos covering this. I think for me the sheer joy of them going pop will be because they just don't have much of a fanbase who care very much. And when they go pop it will be because they have to admit that. That moment will be immaculately sweet.

We'd chortle. Surely, that is enough?

Phil, sadist or serious? LOL!

We do. We exported it there. We have rights. Are these guys in Brazil?

Btw, does anyone know who Sara Cunningham is? Heard she's launching a breakaway faction on phoenix project - and is rich (ish)
