  1. The press don't make players move, that is ridiculous. Cortese, Adkins or AOC could instantly quash these January rumours by saying "AOC is not moving/I am not moving". The fact that none of them have made a categorical statement is very telling.

     

    Of course they do. Transfers sell newspapers, and speculation about transfers can turn both players' and teams' heads. It's no different to what an agent does to get commission.

    There's this article which basically says ignore what the papers are saying. They're never going to issue an outright denial because it's never absolutely certain, look at Eddie Howe for example, but I think we can take from that that The OC is not 'for sale' as such.

     

    I'm not sure what more people want?

  2. Ahahaha

     

    I think he's staying.

     

    The newspapers just can't comprehend that a League One club might be able to keep hold of a player, that a player might want to stay here despite all the media pressure, they're used to creating their own transfer stories by getting players to move through media pressure.

     

    'They've turned away so many clubs, but they're a tiny league one club so he must be leaving, so let's link him with the next one that shows an interest.'

     

    Fulham are favourites to sign him now? I'm a heck of a lot more confident of keeping hold of him if that's true, I believe we're destined to be above Fulham in the next few seasons and the ethos at the club at the moment shows the players believe that too.

  3. So how likely is it that Pompey get wound up? Surely if they keep putting CVA payment dates back then someone with want to liquidate them.

     

    They're not in administration any more, so normal rules apply. Anyone they owe more than £750 to, that they then miss a repayment to, can issue a winding up order. The CVA repayment terms are to put it bluntly, terrible for the creditors. Pompey don't have to repay anything until 2012 now to creditors in the CVA if the reports linked to here are to be believed.

     

    They still have to meet day to day running costs though, if they miss any of those, I doubt they'll be allowed to go into administration again, it'll be liquidation straight away.

  4. Sad life? Your fans were quick enough to intrude our website after your 6 nil win giving it large! Three points behind Brighton we will be top come end of saturday! Brighton are in meltdown now and really worried about us! Must say after our teams performance today they are totally worried about you!

     

    I still don't see what relevance all that has to a Man Utd supporter?

  5. Totally embarrassed after our win!

     

    But Man Utd didn't play today...

     

    You should remember your lies a bit better.

     

    Anyway, we all know the reason you're so eager to pipe up now is because you think we will catch you. And we will.

  6. Love the sash, love the stripes. So which to go for???

     

    I think the thing that may tip it for me is: a neutral mate of mine having come to a couple of home games with me thought the sash kit looked really good but also thought it made the team look much bigger than the opposition (hence possibly giving us a bit of Psychological advantage), I think this is probably because the kit has a rugby feel about it. Well I am an egg chaser as well so it has to be the sash......oh shhhiiitttte but can we go away from the stipes...fffuuuccck I don't know.

     

    Can we have stripes with a sash across them??

  7. I suspect the home grown European rule is in their thinking

     

    The home grown rule only applies to players over the age of 21, and by training at Liverpool for three years before he's 21, he'll count as home grown.

     

    (It's because of this I think that Owen Hargreaves doesn't count as home grown)

     

    Nationality doesn't come into it to get around EU employment laws.
