Dark Munster

Very impressive.

I wonder what they would call occupying an automatic promotion place for 45 matches, and then dropping to third with 1 minute left in the final game?

The FL not having a contingency plan is par for the course for them. They'll just make up a rule as they see fit at the time. My money is for one less team to be relegated from the Championship, League 1 and League 2. In other words, Cheats FC's liquidation will make the fans of 4 teams (at least) very happy. Yes, I can count.

Now wouldn't that be sad?

It would be agonizing if we dropped out of the top two for the first time on the last day of the season (and even worse, in the last few minutes). A huge psychological mountain to climb in the playoffs.

Over on the main site (yes fellow PTS nutjobs, it really exists!) the points above Cheats thread seems to be in trouble. At the beginning, as the gap hilariously grew and grew, there were regular smug comments along with gap updates from the mods. Great fun. But now that Cheats FC are rock bottom, and the gap has grown to 45 there seems to less enthusiasm in twisting the knife. Pity for the few? Embarrassment? Not wanting to kick a skate when it's floundering? Who knows? Sad really, I was hoping for a big celebration when the gap hits 50.

On Tuesday Pompey take on Birmingham at Fratton Park and we’re inviting all fans to get their best fancy dress outfits out for the occasion. Supporters are encouraged to raid the wardrobes for their most entertaining costumes to make it a jovial and entertaining night of football. Fancy dress has come out in force this season at a number of away games and it's time to bring it back to Fratton Park. So far we have witnessed Elvis, Cowboys, 70s rockers and even one gentlemen dressed as a banana! The phew make their way to Krap Nottarf for one of the last times ever.

Matty, you're the greatest. We love you. But you're talking bollocks here.

Not yet. But eventually, maybe.

If the worst comes to the worst I'm sure Chinny would be happy to lend AFC Cheats the registration money.

Thank you! Mystery solved.

Yes, but how far above? I reckon at least 58 places above ... if the Cheats still exist.

Probably. It would explain why they had two tables.

That'll be for Cheats FC's funeral (when they get liquidated at the end of the season).

BTW, although it's virtually impossible for Saints to clinch a top 2 place with a win against the Cheats (damn you Reading), wouldn't it be sweet if thrashing them at SMS not only ensures their relegation, but also ensures at least a top 6 finish for us?

If that happens, we'll have to hope the Cheats pick up just enough points to avoid formal relegation until the rogering they'll get at SMS.

I reckon we ought to loan him out to Donny for their match against Reading tomorrow. Purely to get him match fit of course.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

You could well be right. Maybe we should send a thank you note, along with a gift duck, to the ruddy faced bastard, for postponing administration by 3 or 4 days past the point deduction carry-over date.

This. Not to mention playing a large part in giving Markus, in his final year (R.I.P.), that special moment at Wembley.

And click on the relegation tab, to see that Cheats FC are favourites to go down.

Amazing, Chinny won't lose a penny of the £17 million that he says he ploughed into the cesspit, if they fold?? Or maybe, it's the case of Chinny won't be losing a penny of the £(insert small number here) million that he actually put into the cesspit, if they fold?
