I was being generous, he cannot string four words together - which even by Portsea standards is barely half a paragraph. I'm not sure that picking up dogs muck and carrying cones about can be a full time occupation but I haven't heard him on Solent recently.

The last time Kelly spoke he talked of their academy as being the envy of all the top clubs. Indeed, the conveyor belt of football talent coming out of Portsea and wiping the dog **** and broken glass off their boots before going on to international recognition has been pretty constant since they released Mick Mills. Kelly is obviously quite unwell and in need of new medication.

It's StorrieTime! To save Steve G getting sued I'll keep it simple. The banks took the money because there was nowhere near enough income or value in the business to pay the debts - the club was in so deep it was going down faster than Fifi at Horton Heath. As for that fantasy set of accounts they presented to the High Court... The joke was on the rest of football as the judge accepted all of that nonesense about them addressing the debts and set them on their way to their next administration. Nice try at a history rewrite though.

Credit where credit is due, I'm staggered that they've managed to go three years without an insolvency event. That's about six weeks in real terms.

They do love their history, even the pitch is from 1965. Though it should flatten out a bit once they get the potatoes in.

The Trust held a shareholding of 48.6 per cent of the club as of June 30. That was before a property developer chipped in another £50K to cover the fact that the training ground fundraiser had failed. Did he do that out of love, or for another little chunk of control? Fan owned?

Lord T is quite dedicated, he'll be back from the meeting soon....

The ref was a joke, overturning one of his correct decisions is even funnier. Has Carlton Cole had his yellow upgraded to a red? #effingclowns

a silent tumbleweed moment as frightened young girl and offended Royal view the 'present'....

So by official standards Bertrand's tackle v Swansea was worse than Cole's assault on Yoshida... And according to that clown tonight Fonte's handball was equal to Cole's late head high studs first challenge. We just want consistency.

isn't that ****ging animals?...

Isn't the TV deal for League Two clubs worth less than a million a year?... If Bournemouth go up they will earn approx the same amount in TV money for one season that pompey will take through all of their season ticket and matchday ticket income over the next twenty years. I thought we picked the wrong time to drop out of the top flight but they had to go one better and picked a very unfortunate time to leave the top table. Thank-you Avram you legend for ushering them away from all of the nasty big boy clubs that are jealous that they can't battle for a plucky draw at Dagenham on a Tuesday night. The old gravedigging prossie-botherer might have pulled the trigger on their Premier League status, but his fine work was continued by Cotterill, Appleton and so many other future England managers. It really has been a team effort to get them back where they belong. I salute them all.

That snooze video is the worst film ever made, allied to the worst attempt at reading, and script-writing, ever! Shockingly poor, in every respect. Can I take my hands off my face yet? Make it stop. I feel dirty. Someone please find me Penny going off the top board to cheer me up...go on, I want to see the pool emptied by a lycra-clad wardrobe full of rubble falling with the aerodynamic grace of a garage door, one more time...anything other than watching that video again.

Premier League club with massive TV income and huge areas of free land turns into landlocked potless League Two club in five years. Wow, nicely done! That aerial photo shows just how much this deal for a few parking spaces has blocked any future development. The diagram that used to show all the available land explained why they were attractive as an investment. If Mandaric or Redknapp or whoever wanted to invest now, there is nowt of value left to buy. It's as if the Harbourdome dream never happened. And what happens with the property developers once they have their cash? A gentle withdrawal, a sale of their control? Find the begging bowls, it's nearly time to dig deep again!!

like they have an effing choice!

As Lord T says, they still had massive player debts to clear as part of the last 'debt-free' takeover, a process that is only complete once those agreed debts have been cleared. They now claim to have cleared everything, not that we don't believe them but an indicator of that would be that all charges have been lifted as no one requires security on a debt anymore. They haven't been lifted. No doubt the belated accounts will clear up any misunderstandings later this week. (a QPR fan worried about pompey's insolvency?? )

The rules on concussion are very clear. You cannot take the field again for at least ten minutes if you are playing rugby for Wales, but if you are in goal for Spurs the ref won't restart the game until you feel up to it.

Any idea what time the open top bus tour is tomorrow? I'm due to travel east and I don't want to get caught in the queues off the M27. When they won that game before Christmas there was traffic chaos for days.

looking at Torquay and Plymouth - wow, the big hitters are in town! Is the old twitching wheeler dealer really still in the game?....with his knee?....and his criminal dog?.......I would imagine he was too upset when his derelict building burned down and he found that the planning committee members weren't born yesterday. I reckon it's all over for Harry down east. The only third coming pompey will see is if little Avram has a very long afternoon to kill on an industrial estate.

He's a ****.

Oh yes, the Stockport day, can it really only be three administrations ago, it seems like only yesterday. The mighty fortress will once again echo to the plucky sound of......hang on, didn't we decide that pompey players were getting frightened by the pressure of home crowds? Isn't the support just too plucky and passionate? Aren't they just trying to create yet another cup final atmosphere that will be too big for themselves, for the ref and the rest of world sport? Or is it just another little game to decide who gets to play Eastleigh next season? The latter. Which explains why 5,000 people attend each sell out home game dressed as blue seats.

yes I agree Smirk that he gave the ref the opportunity for a yellow or red - but the writhing player and aggressive bench reaction was aimed at influencing the decision. The media was all over the career-ending tackle on the day, but has been very slow to spot the miraculous recovery. It seems that when the stretcher was put away, the air ambulance stood down and the dust settled, the truth is that there was no injury at all...

Modou Barrow set to be available for the Sunderland game having suffered no serious injury following the challenge which saw Ryan Bertrand sent off at St Mary's. So.....four minutes of play acting, a pantomime with a stretcher, an outraged bench ensuring maximum pressure on the ref and we now quietly discover that he's not actually injured.... What a surprise. But all the rolling about and touchline anguish fooled Mr Oliver into thinking he'd been badly hurt and that's what counts - job done!

quote from comments section - Completely agree that this young man acted like an idiot, and has disgraced our Club Let me tell you mate, he could have been caught pleasuring himself with an ugly male goat in a packed children's play area while both parties were dressed in full pompey kits, including socks, with him singing Gary Glitter hits out of tune, and he still wouldn't be able to disgrace the club more than the criminality and antics of the last decade - much of which you and your plucky chums have applauded, and still celebrate. HMS Disgrace sailed long ago and was lost with all hands before making it to the Round Tower.

Suddenly you realise why top teams loan out some of these young 'stars' - there's no such thing as a free lunch. Unless you agree a price for it and then just ignore the bill. Twice.
