The odious geek is on talksport at 7.30 apparently to talk about his day at court.

Is the "Trust or Bust" mantra retractable? Neil Allen probably hopes so.

Indeed. It seems to me that either a) it all seemed like a good idea until it came to actually putting the money up or b) the money wasn't actually there in the first place.

No, good point, I had lost track.

Where's Micha Hall when you need him

True but presumably PKF wouldn't want to ask to have stadium valued at £2.75m if the PDT then can't afford it.

Or there is a massive shortfall in the pledges?

Brilliant - just got up and read the last 3 pages. The window behind Day 13 of the PDT Advent Calendar is the best yet.

According to their message boards, "..the turn out was a lot less than I expected" and "wouldve been nice to have seen more there today". So it appears Allenovski of the Pompey Pravda is at it again.

Jeez, he's clearly taking the p**** out of a mate - what a non-story.

The truth is that neither are up to it at this level but for different reasons. Roll on Jan 1st.

Anything would have been a bonus and in truth we were lucky to still be in at at half time. Second half we improved but passed the ball poorly when in half decent areas. What Mayuka has to do to even get on the pitch for 15 minutes I just don't know - he would have been a better option that Jay Rodriguez at that stage of the game.

The problem is who you bring in instead - Jos isn't mobile enough. We just have to limp on until January.

Battered and lucky to be only 1-0. Sometimes we need to hoof the ball out of defence rather than trying tippy tappy stuff. Oh and our left hand side is totally exposed as per most games this season.

Trust Share Benefits: The overriding benefit is a collective one, that together we can take control of our football club. Alongside that aim we are working on a range of benefits to reward supporters who invest between £1,000 and £20,000 through shares in PST: • Discounted season ticket options for the 2013-14 season and beyond • Discounted half-season ticket option for season 2012-13 • Discount on function room hire at the club • Exclusive shareholder pin badge • Your name inscribed in an exclusive ‘wall of fame’ to be erected at Fratton Park • Frameable individually numbered share certificate • Special priority draws - including for every home match a draw to be a ‘VIP for a Day’ • Exclusive Pre-season ‘open day’ at Fratton Park for all shareholders, including meet the players, PST team and Club Management Team • Free membership of PST In addition, where a vote is held at a meeting of members of PST on any question relating to; • issuing more share capital in Portsmouth Community Football Club Limited • transfer of shares in Portsmouth Community Football Club Limited the Board of PST will not act on any vote unless it has been passed by the requisite majority of all members and the requisite majority of community shareholders. £1000 for a pin badge, which is pretty much the only tangible benefit, seems excessive. At least it is an "exclusive" one. I see that they are also offering discounted season tickets to those that pledge - I wonder how that equates with their model of sustainability?

I can't see us selling anybody until the summer when we know what league we will be in, especially those already out on loan. If we sold the "Championship" quality players in Jan and then got relegated we would in effect need to go out and re-sign players of a similar standard. Saints have effectively taken out an insurance policy against relegation by only loaning these players out. Of course, we could have 30+ points by the end of January and the landscape changes (here's hoping!).

Property Development Trust Statement re. Court Case: http://www.pompeytrust.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=475%3Apst-welcomes-news-of-early-court-hearing-date&catid=34%3Ademo-category I particularly like, "We are very encouraged by the initial response to the share offer. There is a steady stream of pledges and new purchases of shares arriving hourly; so many that we haven’t been able to count them yet". So that will be about 5 then. As a general observation they look and sound increasingly desperate and amateurish.

Next 2 games - Coventry and Tranmere away.

Attendance 9955. Packing the park again.

I can think of no reason why AP would not get a good reception - started us off on the journey to the Prem and gave us a great day out at Wembley - a real watershed moment even if it was "just" the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. After some pretty bad times he instilled some positivity back into the club. Anyone that boos Pardew is an idiot.

Watched on stream and thoroughly deserved 3 points - it would have been a travesty if we hadn't come away with the win. Great movement up front and Cork, Lallana and Puncheon exceptional.

Lambert 80/1 for a hat-trick - stupidly optimistic I know but meh why not!

When you have 8 kids and only 1 train set there is a sense of inevitability about the outcome.

I am sure that Merson has poured over the projected financials in fine detail, being such an obviously intelligent individual, before throwing his weight behind the trust. "Back the....err what's it called again Jeff?"

Agreed, I voted for the independent candidate - purely on the basis that politics should have nothing to do with being a police commissioner.
