Damn - Skate equaliser.

I would take off Lallana and a striker and put on Harding and Waigo.

Waigo works harder off the ball than Antonio though!

Time to get Waigo on and stretch them a bit?

WIsh I was at this match.

YES!!!!!!!!!11 i ****ING LOVE YOU Kelvin.

C'mon KD. Do your stuff...

On the BBC live update page: If John Utaka really is on £80,000-a-week, it's the most disgusting waste of money in the history of football. He gives the ball away and just stands there as West Ham play it through to Frank Nouble, the striker's shot saved by Asmir Begovic. I'd be embarrassed to earn that if I was Utaka Good one, 'arry!

1,800 away fans. Great support.

...

I was indeed referring to the flea-pit. Sorry for any confusion. I have no idea what the attendance at Griffin Park of Brentford is.

Attendance 18,000. That's massive for them.

YES!! West Ham score.

Sounds like we're either defending really well or really badly.

Hey, guys! We should try to keep a clean sheet! You heard it here first.

Yep. Pompey won't put themselves into admin though (they would have to apply to the court and I can't see them bothering); if anyone does it will be a secured creditor who stands to lose a lot if they're wound-up.

Come on boys! This is a big match.

Yep, the player will still be the employee of the loaning club so will get paid by them. Pompey's problem isn't an issue in terms of loanee's wages but is not great for any player of the calibre to demand a decent loan fee!

This is what will happen the day before the Skate's winding-up petition is presented, unless someone lends them the £7m (or whatever it is) or they get bought. Very real possibility of our Cup match being their first since losing 9 points!

Brass tacks?

Fact?

Not necessarily; they could be put into administration before the winding-up petition is heard. Minus 9 points and the sword of Damacles hanging ever so slightly lower....

Ohh, yeah. Quite right. Usual pub closed - blast! Match at lunchtime, have to get up at about 10:00 or something. Police around in town - that'll put an end to my plans to fly in on the stolen 'copter. And on telly... well, it might rain or something. What a hassle!

d) the likelihood of relegation e) the convoluted ownership f) the pantomime cast g) the ongoing criminal investigation into previous club dealings etc....
