Of the 17 named last night, only 3 have scored a league goal for Pompey this season, Gyepes (4), Harris (2), Wallace (1).

Coming up, turkeys talk to us about their love of Christmas.

Sorry, my bad, I forgot. No prize other than the adulation of everyone on here

Ouch

Although, to be fair, it's worth noting that the vast majority of professional football clubs are REALLY **** when it comes to paying suppliers on time.

Apparently not.

They've had the first half of this season's £8m, the second half is due next month.

Not sure I'd put Chelsea in that group of historically big support, but agree otherwise.

We more or less broke even every year we were in the Premier League under Lowe. Some years we made a small profit, some years we made a small loss. If we added more expenditure on wages, we'd have been making a loss every year, with no guarantee of that funding hole being plugged - we were entirely self-sustainable back then. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and those three players you mention didn't work out, but they would have been thoroughly scouted and - as amazing as this notion sounds these days - approved by the manager at the time. I guess a case could be made for buying fewer players but increasing the quality (and, ergo, the salary) of those players, but there's no guarantee that they'll work out either. Or of course we could have just not spent any money on the academy, not bothered paying our creditors, etc, just to be able to accommodate a larger wage bill...

Spot on, IMO

We're not live for the Man United game in this country. Possibly on ESPN in the US or something like that, so it'll be on a stream in the usual places.

I thought Colin said he was going to answer every question. I don't think he's actually answered any of them yet.

So essentially, Portsmouth FC (2013) is already racking up hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of debt before they've even bought the club? Bravo, gentlemen

It's on general sale now so you should be able to get one via the SFC ticket office.

Yeah, it's "balanced", in that it balances against the vast majority of articles written, but it takes stuff written on a blog that's full of factual inaccuracies as its basis, which doesn't help its cause too much.

Revista de la Liga is repeated at 11pm tonight if you - like me - missed it earlier.

As ben05 suggests, the majority of cheap fares have probably already gone. The cheapest route will almost certainly be via London, and you might find it also involves going to Manchester first and then coming back down to Wigan. I've just had a look and you can get a single to Manchester from Euston at 09.20 for £26, and the 20.15 from Wigan direct back to Euston is also £26 single. You then get an off-peak day single from Manchester to Wigan on the day for about £4, so it's not as horrendous as I thought it might be by now.

I'd argue there's a fundamental difference between loyalty and being a blind follower.

£22.39 per game (23 games @ £515) to £32.89 per game (19 games @ £625) is in fact a 46.9% increase on a per-game basis.

I don't think anybody has forgotten his achievements. He still remains the only manager to have won us a major trophy, that status won't change for some time. However, many of his opinions are massively outdated and as a result are largely irrelevant, IMO.

Surely an "uberfan mentality" would be one where the club is supported and defended even in the face of indefensible actions and evidence?

A dinosaur of the modern game... interviewing Lawrie McMenemy Let's face it, we know exactly what's going to be said and how it's going to be said before the broadcast has even begun
