Steady on Nutjobs! I am not worthy, it was FF who gave me life...he put the wind in my sails, he created the babbling brook in which I swim, he painted the clouds across the sky and allowed me to spread my wings, it was him that took me to a busy badger set and handed me an AK47, he drove me to Horton Heath and tucked a grubby tenner in my Y-fronts - I am but nothing without his vision and the opportunity he created.... All that, and the fact that he got a good tip off many moons ago and shared it with us. Come on you Shots!!!

Congratulations to everyone at the Fortress of Fat - recognition at last, it's World Toilet Day! And if that celebration isn't in association with their lovely ground then it would still be an apt day to get flushed to the bottom of the south coast by Aldershot. Space 1999? Currently I believe the space is approx 75 league positions.

Very rare. Just deleted my own proposed post for legal reasons. Don't worry, it was just the usual old bitter twaddle blended with facts and social comment.

Meanwhile in Tesco-related retail news, man in onesie refused service in pompey store. I should be able to wear whatever I want. I’m from Buckland – everyone wears their pyjamas to the shops... Really? If all goes to plan it shouldn't be long before they can hold sleepovers at their Fatpipes branch.

The last pompey legend to have a Thai wrapped around his neck was Avram - and just like Ray's daughter, he paid good money for it too.

Banked? Trousered in cash - spent - history! So it's business as usual, and the few will soon have their 40,000 seater state-of-the-art stadium*. *hard standing for a burger van.

The club can't be happy with Skybet trying to fleece their punters - that's their job.

Why would he want to leave a state of the art facility at one of the top clubs to go to a midtable club and work from a garden shed in a field? Looking at how their Champions' League qualification campaign is going I presume Spurs currently attempt recruitment using a dice, a coin, and a dartboard, so it might be an easier life...

Retweet **** and win a little prize for being naive and easily-led... Last time they got involved in this sort of caper they were voted the most active social media marketing reps for a utility company. Though I guess Robinson could do with this cash while he rethinks what to do with a chunk of wasteland that makes Flanders look like a bowling green. Are they still trading? It's very quiet.

It's early days so we have achieved little and I'm sure the bigger clubs like Spurs and Liverpool who are both showing genuine signs of recovery, will no doubt gently put us back in our place. Let's remember that they had quite a few new players and they need time to gel so you wouldn't expect much of them yet That said....11 points is a huge fricking gap to make up! But for the moment let's keep smug in the armoury - we might get the chance to display it in May next year.

Nice one. But in 12 years time plucky youngsters will be able to ask their great great grandparents about that amazing win at SMS that denied us promotion and kept them in the 2nd tier. If they have gained anything today it is confirmation of their new local rivals - until Eastleigh go up. That glorious European victory/draw against Milan seems a long time ago.

Tottenham - massive club.

Just heard a retail expert saying that there is no way Tesco will be building any big store on land already purchased, they seem to be turning to developing residential on a few sites instead. If that is the case then I guess they would need to perform a minor U-turn on planning. No doubt the council will dance like a little puppet when Tesco start tuning up.

My work here is done! Life is now imitating, well, itself. Sort of? I think. I'm confused.

Technically the shirts belong to the club because it was the club that had them off their suppliers and bankrupted them by not paying, so James should be charged with theft. This is clearly more money that belongs to the property developers. Something should be done to stop this villain making money out of pompey. Perhaps the fan shareholders should have a vote on it.

Ralph, you tell me which wall you want me to run through and I'm on it! I'll have him alongside me in a trench any day of the week, even if he can't say Premier. What a great tribute to the man who saved our club, and who we remember at every home game. We have come a long way, we are in good hands. Football is nice again.

Yes, it's worrying when an alleged intelligent footballer manages to lose £20M, good luck to the thick ones! I think he needs to sack his divorce lawyer. His articles were very good and always mentioned the charity that benefited from his fee. That glorious cup team of 08 are going to have a great reunion party in a few years! Did you ever get paid? No, you? Nope. Did you get hate mail? Yeah, and the worst thing was it was so badly written. Happy days... Yeah.

South Coast football. Southampton - 2nd in the Premier League, today unveil a new facility that will set the benchmark for European clubs, and they continue to produce players who grace the Champions' League. Bournemouth - a club record of consecutive wins, top of the Championship, their highest ever placing. Brighton - firmly established in the Championship with a modern ground. Reading - firmly established in the championship with a modern ground. portsmouth - firmly rooted in the 4th tier, and by deferring and reducing wages they have helped push their former England goalkeeper and cup hero into bankruptcy - today they are finishing off painting the fence at their hired training pitch.

by then they should be able to hold it in the new Tesco conference suite, presumably the footings are nearly finished and they'll be trading by Christmas...

He's an odd one. In between some of the bonkers stuff he comes out with some real home truths. I was never a fan of his 'comedy', always regarded him as a bit of a tit, next thing you know he makes perfect sense. So for me he makes some very valid points, but he needs to edit out some of the madness that clouds the issue and his credibility. I'd rather hear him talk on how the media is conning us, rather than hear any politician who just churns out spin approved from above.

In all fairness they tick most of those boxes already so I think I'd be generous enough to give them a full house and the financial benefits for a 10-0 home defeat. Sadly, if it did happen we'd put out a youth team so it would be more like 5-0.

That's what happens when these little clubs give power to locals who have gathered most of their corporate expertise through selling the contents of their loft on an overloaded decorating table in a breezy field on a Sunday morning. I don't see a lot of quality on that board, enthusiasm yes, but you need business acumen to run a business, and you need it in every dept. Let's not forget the former hero and finance expert Lampitt. He was the man with the plan, but he just followed the mistakes of the past and shoved them off on another suicide mission. Despite the spin to the contrary, I'm not sure that much has changed since those hilarious days. And like Lord T, I'm curious to know why the PFA still hold charges if the nasty old players really have been paid. No doubt this will be addressed shortly by the local media, along with the Tesco situation and Connolly's silence.

Great South Run, where people in Saints shirts run the streets of pompey on the same route that their open top bus went after the 2-2 draw at SMS. I've been known to spectate and shout 'red army' at these people.

That sounds like classic Ho on there. Everything fine, deal done, business as usual, nothing to see...

Interesting. Read.
