Absolutely! A liquidator could possibly have rather an interesting time with this one methinks!

Why are we apologising to Birmingham?

What on earth would be the point of that? Look everyone: Markus Liebherr owns a company called M2347589 Ltd (or something like that - search the OS archive of you want to know). That company bought the footballing assets of SLH PLC. We are not sure exactly what, if anything, wasn't included in the asset sale yet, but if the stadium was excluded we would have heard of it by now.

My mind might be playing tricks on me but.... wasn't he linked with a takeover of us once? :confused:

You do yourself no credit whatsoever by suggesting that there is a worse player than Lee Todd.

Pointless thread. We could have won all our league games in which case no one would give a ****. Alternatively we could have lost them all in which case everyone would go spastic and post ridiculous threads on here.... oh.

I will get slated for this, but given the right coaching and being played on the left wing, not the right, I think he could have been a tremendous asset to us in League One. We do not have a single regular first team player with any pace at the moment.

"Welcom Dr Sulaiman Portsmouth" WTF? Retards.

Double agent Niemi! Would love it if he went there and James left - he's well past his best now. One of the best 5 Saints players I have seen since 1989, but has gone down hill. I have no problem at all with him contributing to Pompey's decline.

Maybe this will prompt a stark realisation that he is a sad **** (like the rest of us) and that will be the end of it.

It's also a guaranteed online link to commentary if you're outside the local broadcast area. Just watched the highlights... some decent stuff from us but were Hearts complete tripe or what?!

"Agreement in principle" is a very different thing from a completed deal. Whatever is actually happening here, it sounds like Pompey are fooked. I suspect that what has happened is that Gaydamak has managed to settle enough debt and recoup some money and is now willing to hand over to Al-Fahim for peanuts. Al-Fahim hopes that Pompey can muddle through for a year or two until he can find some proper investment.... As for a new ground.... !

Henderson turned the whole thing into an utterly pointless exercise from a footballing perspective. I just hope Mr Liebherr wasn't too bored by the whole thing. Anyway, we have Pardew now so onwards and upwards....

Spot on and exactly what I was saying throughout most of the match!

Can't compete with that! At least it was a moped he was riding and not something else... A one eyed fisherman with an eye-patch tried some funny business with us in a boat off Koh Phang-Nan. I'm really not sure what he thought he was up to. Very odd behaviour. I also lost an arm wrestle with a bloke who looked like Oddjob.

I got chased by a ladyboy in Pattaya. Fact.

Clearly his fitness is lacking at the moment but he did enough to suggest he'd be a worthwhil signing IMO. Given that we don't have a single other right back, it would be mad not to snap him up.

Henri Camara - As if he'd play in League One!

I can understand being cautious to begin with, but to stay like that for 90 minutes was crazy. It became pretty obvious after about 30 mins that we would barely manage another attempt on goal and were bound to concede a few. Not to change things at half-time was very odd IMO. To swap Rasiak for Saga and then later stick Patterson on the right wing and Thomson on the left smacked of the same kind of incomprehensible nonsense served up by Burley, Poortvliet and Wotte.

Rasiak was much better than Saga. No one could have achieved much being as isolated as he was, but his movement, touch and link-play was better than Saga's. One presumes we are never, NEVER, going to play like that in League One though, which again leads me to question what on earth Henderson was thinking.

Saga, maybe. I thought Rasiak was one of our only players who didn't look out of their depth against Ajax. If Rasiak can be persuaded to stay it would be utter madness not to keep him. He would easily score 30 goals in League One.

Stewart Henderson ruined today as a footballing spectacle for me. It was a complete waste of time to play the way we did for 90 minutes. We made no attempt to pressurise Ajax whatsoever and played a ridiculously defensive system with everyone but the lone striker spending most of the match at least 10 yards inside their own half. What on earth we were supposed to learn from that, I have no idea. It was quite embarassing at times.

I expect people left because they were bored stiff with Henderson's pathetic, dire, abysmal tactics.... might be worth a thread on its own actually....!

Can we have a tribute to the miserable old git who used to marshall the car parking at The Dell?
