like the old Wiiimble-don wiiimble-don chant... A.F-C A.F-C

one thought... no-one can be that interested in them considering they weren't bothered enough to get a deal done before today, when it could well have been too late for any company other than a prem football club.

Their morale is gonna be low... I mean, they're gonna be expecting it to be their last game, how many are gonna want to risk an injury and not being picked up by another club? 2-1 Saints I reckon.

Interesting link... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/portsmouth/article7021577.ece Vantis doing their statement of affairs... which has this fella as a non exec director... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Dulieu Can't see them being too happy about that!

Someone on their forum reckons that as it's less than 12 hours to the hearing now, it's too late for them to go into admin. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I've got my ticket. I'd imagine a fair few people are waiting to see if Pompey will even exist come Saturday though.

I don't see even a ray of hope for them...

Pompey saying talks are ongoing... Then again, sending out begging letters to various rich people are 'negotiations with potential new owners'

Haha, I think you struck a nerve with that 'best fans in the world' question...

SSN saying talks between them and HMRC will continue tomorrow.

Denial http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/portsmouth/article6971646.ece Anger http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/portsmouth/article7015810.ece Bargaining http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/portsmouth/article7019273.ece Depression and acceptance to come on wednesday? Looks like a classic case study to me...

Mid Prem, starting to build a team to push towards the Champs League spots.

They reported we'd made a signing we hadn't as well... Sky are usually pretty reliable admittedly, but they're not bulletproof http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5886470,00.html Also sounds like it's all coming from Portsmouth's end so far...

This was apparently heard on Talksport... Doesn't add much to the credibility I admit...

rumours say the PL have said reports of the embargo being lifted are 'premature' not usually my style to put something with no link or source so even I think this could well be wrong.

We were gonna get taken over by Paul Allen at one point, all the newspapers were saying it...

h) the minimal income compared to outgoings i) owners who may have more interest in the land Pompey is built on

Beaten a team from a higher league than us.

At least now, if Pompey do go out of business before the game, we can claim the last victory between the sides due to getting the bye...

Don't think it'll beat the Pompey Takeover Saga somehow lol

We've never lost to them in the FA Cup yet... Considering we're in League One now, this'll be the biggest test yet of that record. I'm gonna be bouncing around for days now looking forward to this In a way, we're in League One, they're in the Prem, we have nothing to lose, except it's Pompey, we NEED to win this...

Already looking forward to this Especially if reports are to be believed that most of their players will walk next week... Hm I bet they're already working on getting a loan secured against expected income from the match...

Pompey will prolly be our best bet of getting though. It'll be a bye if they go out of business before the match after all...

And now for the Leeds reaction... http://www.waccoe.com/index.php?showtopic=172089
