I tried not to become a sheep and follow the many who appear to have plumped for the Iphone over other smartphones,but i am please i did. As a non techy i find it a fantastic piece of kit,i know some will say blackberry and others are better,and they may well be for some users but i am astonished at the all round quality of this product. I can foresee myself indulging in apple items in the future. I have installed some very useful and free,i might add,apps. Star walk is very impressive,if any of you have any suggestions of others that are good your advice would be appreciated. I would be further impressed,however, if they sorted Siri out so it was a tad more useful in the UK,eg looking for business' outside the US. For someone like myself who takes pics of my little boy and catalogues them in files on my PC Photo stream on the icloud is remarkable,no more cables and drop and drag anywhere. Bloody marvellous.

Normal service has resumed thankfully,now lets carry that on to the next one.

Two very good points made,some of which i have been trying to address for a while but met with the usual response as i have highlighted in the part in bold. Anyone who who contemplates a change of manager at this stage is wrong to do so,something most of us would agree. Adkins rode the crest of a wave for a considerable time on the back of promotion,with what was a very strong side for league one,mostly in part thanks to Alan Pardew. He has brought on Hoiveld and Cork,although i believe he was destined to return be it down to Adkins i am not completely convinced,and now Sharp which could prove pivotal these acquisitions appear substantial but that is as far as it goes......the amount of under par dross he has brought in has concerned me. He has not made such an impact as the likes as Pardew did who picked up the club by its bootstraps and transformed it, Adkins is now at the helm and steering the club on a course that was already set by his predecessors' Adkins was very fortunate to what he had on his arrival. Now he has to do it on his own merits.....i sincerely hope he can do it.....shame he could not find players of the ilk of Waigo or Antonio who made a big impact,instead of Forte ,De Ridder,Bignall and even N'gussan who under Adkins was poor. Lets hope Tadanari Lee makes a positive contribution. Scunny reached its level then dropped like a stone,i hope history does not repeat itself to the same degree.

Adkins reached his pinnacle at the end of november,he is now struggling as I suspected he would.

I had a meeting with someone from bishops printers this afternoon,turns out they owe considerable amounts to them, offered tickets to the Chelsea FA cup tie with them as payment towards what they owe,which was duly accepted by the company as part payment.

Holy ****e.....prime ministers questions........MP asked PM to look at the situation and not allow HMRC to punish PFC.....as PFC fans would not want to get season tickets at SFC.... PM" i know lots of PFC fans and i know they would not go to see SFC...i will look into the situation. Quite a bit of laughter in the chamber... I am gobsmacked at this....what the **** is going on.... bloody MP asking for forgiveness and help from the PM
-
Oh and i take this with a pinch of salt....but we may have a go at getting Marvin Sordell in....cant believe it myself,but just sharing. Pearce has attracted interest from 3 Championship clubs including Ipswich
-
Henderson twittered,only a few moments ago..he is going nowhere and happy to stay at PFC. Williams to Fulham is the only exit on the cards at the mo.
-
This deal has fallen through due to personal terms... Leicester are now in for him.
-
Tonight or early tomorrow could give us all a surprise....and might,just might,give me a little faith that Adkins can draw a reputable signing and take us forward. We will see.
-
Shame,great signing by Adkins.
-
Both he and the squad rode the wave of optimism and belief that last season brought us,Pardew played his past enormously i don't care what anyone says,now that wave has turned into a mere ripple the real work needs to be done.You can blame suspensions and injuries but all clubs have the scenarios put before them,it is how you address them that matters. Both on the pitch and off it.... Can he do it on his own merits? can he do it in the transfer market? He took scunny up,rode the wave then fell short when it counted.......we have money,not sure i trust hin to spend it wisely however. The usual abuse and bile will be thrown my way as per the norm....but the above needs to be addressed,in fact it should have been scrutinised before. We have been playing poorly for a considerable time....the teams that were expected to give us a run for our money have faltered and found another gear...have we got another gear on this bus to move up to? No more happy chappy,crappy soundbites...sort it out Nigel,please. I'm sure you have the capabilities to take us far,now is the time to show it, in all areas of SFC.

Lampitt live on express FM......... DL........."Club not in admin...No 1 priority to get club sold...AA's main job is to do that. "Tall order to get things sorted before end of the month.....Difficult circumstances since CSI went into admin" He is not aware of a 2nd bid from ipswich,1st offer turned down for best assets. "Any new owner does not want see assets sold" "Interest in club has been maintained and is still there" "Major creditor portpin who have a major financial interest in club ,do they want to continue to support club? they have shown unwillingness to do so" "There are a few things that need to happen to bring PFC down....no new ownership..no player sales to fund club....I'm still positive we can sort things out" "Things get done nearer the end of the transfer window,decisions are going to have to be made in a week to 10 days,difficult decisions" "New owners issue are unlikely to be resolved in that time" "Chanarai coming back is probably not going to happen,who knows what will happen,one of the potential routes for club to be sustained though" "£800k from December,22nd December was the date it should have been paid...Paye owed also....." "We are clear we need to get an owner is an immediate one" "We were almost break even,accounts will be filed next month"..."cash flow the problem...back log of creditors" "catch 22...the previous owners were not popular as they did not want a football club (Chanarai),CSI invested sensibly and should not be criticised" "Football league could possibly forward a parachute payment.....but again will impact on CVA and cash flow...all it does is bring forward a solution but in the longterm will be more problematic...we have discussed this with the football league.....we have just received some from the football league" "i would not look for them to advance a years parachute payment but perhaps 1 or 2 months worth while we try and buy time to get ownership sorted out" "We find a buyer that gives us a clean break" "plan B..pheoinix club,talked about alot with the fans....nuclear option...last resort,we have to fight what we have got...we can't shake of the circumstances we have got" "Legal process around antonov will not be swift but a return is not an option....while they were here, Roman and Akkers were main contacts Roman had little to do with it" "Roman and Akkers do not have the wealth to take over...better of a clean break....board of PFC...LOOK ON COMPANIES HOUSE ROMAN IS STILL ON there but not been updated ...me and John Redgate are the board of PFC" "Why take Herman out and bring one in?...look at the playing squad...we are not bringing in players for the sake of it...Football league taking a great interest in what we are doing." "Michael has his own ideas on playing squad but it will come down to me" "Players pay cut? would we consider it ...yes..but it is not straight forward...we have had talks with PFA....it is easy to say just because they earn the most they should take one ..but it is an option" "In terms of previous circumstances...we will get through this challenge..i cant guarantee it...but certain thing must not happen...we can avoid it as there is interest in the club" "the value of the squad is far more valuable now than it was two years ago when this happened before" "Great to know fans are keep coming to fratton we have had some great turnouts recently...support the club and the players...the revenue coming into the club...it stays with the club...cash coming through the door helps the club" Question...do the council have a charge or say in the club?....Lampitt "i don't know" "Football league and Pfc took the word of Antonov he could fund the club,any prospective new owner will have to jump through hoops to satisfy the football league" "the message to all interested parties...the message given out loud and clear...don't delay the process" "we are doing everything we can,i am sorry if i sound glum but i am being honest,sorry but some things i cant share...confidentality is key,some of the things that have come out these last few days has hurt us and hampered us" "personally i would have not said anything,there is such things as timing,i would have protected our strength when it comes to negotiations" The above is reference the HMRC winding up order. Thats all folks,apolgies for grammatical errors,difficult to keep up on occasions...anyway..make of it what you will.

I have never implied he is a **** manager,just that i do believe he has failings. When you look back at this season the only thing that will be recorded will be who got promoted,not the side that stayed top for 4 months(i strongly suspect that we will not be top after Saturday unfortunately). Our home form has been fantastic,thankfully,because our away form has been pretty poor until very recently. We have been very fortunate that many of the sides tipped for promotion and to give us a run for our money have seriously underperformed. This transfer window is crucial to where could come at the end of the season,we have looked on occasions to be lacking when it come to injuries and suspensions are effecting the squad. If we blow promotion from here who would you blame?....i for one would look towards Adkins and Cortese. We must get the right people in,only Adkins can make that decision of who he targets....lets hope they are more in line with a improvement to what we have and not a Forte,Bignall,N'gussan and i would even add De ridder to that list. In the summer it was reported we were after all and sundry when it came to attacking options,none materialised....lets hope Tadanari does not fall into the catagory of player i have already mentioned. You cant force a player to sign or a club to sell......but you can influence that in the way you operate with the people you are trying to deal with. There are suggestions in certain quarters that we don't necessarily go about it in the correct manner.
-
Does Adkins know who he really wants?
-
i await the 11th hour underwhelming signing on the last day of the transfer window,when all the players we have apparently been chasing fall through due to fannying around throughout the aforementioned transfer window. The past summer transfer window all over again.
-
A message from Brian Howe,one of the prospective bidders.......... Portsmouth Football club update.......Vince and I have been waiting since last week for paperwork we required to make an educated bid for the club. From what I understand a deal has now been done with the preferred bidder. I might suggest that the person/people concerned were the only bidders as I don't think anyone else was sent the required paperwork either. I am a Pompey fan first and foremost and I am worried that there never was a chance of anyone really buying the club unless Mr Chanrai was involved. I hope I am wrong but I am looking into it.........stay tuned.
-
I would not be surprised to see Peter Storrie back at the helm at Fratton.

Get in Do Prado........Hoiveld is very stupid,It nearly cost us.
