Stoke will bully us out of the game. We don't compete enough for 50/50 balls and too many players either simply cant tackle or prefer to stand off and watch while the opponent dances through. For certain matches we could do with a few more nasty bastards in midfield.

Depressing. I don't mind losing to a better team but Sunderland were s*** - if we had any quality in the final third we would have won easily but sadly the tactics and performance were completely disjointed. Ramirez needs to play in the hole and it would be nice occasionally if the wingers would swap so that they can get to the by-line and cross with their better foot. Christmas is cancelled.

Roger Johnson was linked in the summer so maybe a re-hash of that?

Uh huh, a "friend"

He was on an Episode of Homes Under the Hammer the other day bidding for a property. I did a double take but it was definitely him - he didn't get it btw. I always thought he was class when fit, surprised nobody took him on a pay as you play.

Hope its off, another game that will be re-arranged after all of their players have left in January.

Brilliant stuff from Halo. 1605 pages in 25 windows.

Zulu - only seen it about 500 times but still brilliant.

Arsenal look like scoring everytime they go forward. Total lack of fight from the Reading players and fans.

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?
