Can't wait for Dave Merrington to try and pronounce his name

A leak of our supposed new home shirt has emereged Still a sponsor needs to go on, but it looks absolutely horrific.

Portsmouth FC ‏@officialpompey 30m Season ticket sales up to 6,406 and the ticket office is open from 10am-2pm tomorrow #pompey Tom Emmans ‏@EmmansizX 27m Cannot believe we have sold 6,400 season tickets! Best fans in the land! #pup #Pompey #legends Martin McInnes ‏@Pompey_1976 25m 6,406 season tickets sold already #pompey Blimey and existing season ticket holders have time still to reclaim their seat Lou Formby ‏@chimer1898 3h With Ricky Holmes now signed - is this shaping up to be the best looking squad we've had in years?! Roll on 3rd Aug! #Pompey However, there is one sensible comment Sam Wiltshire ‏@samwiltshire 8h I really do hope #Pompey do not sign any more players, have we not learnt from the past yet?!

Are you suggesting that there is some form of stripes?

Same guy says this

One of the replies to factless Lanks ☃ ‏@Jordanlawther21 48m @pn_neil_allen just without the diving, and the cheating!

Portsmouth FC ‏@officialpompey 2h Season ticket sales still going strong - now up to 5,151 #pompey

Should give us some post-season entertainment with factless. Anyone got any questions for him?

Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen 2m #Pompey have appointed Steve Allen as Guy Whittingham's number two. As physio he will have a dual role.

I believe a long ball counts as any pass over 25 yards in distance or something like that, whether played in the air or on the ground

We're on Page 5, EVERYONE STOP POSTING

We play so dull nowadays, compared to at the start of the season. Think the tiredness of the players is beginning to show. Hopefully Puncheon will come on and inject some pace and life into this game.

Premier League Southampton jealous of League 2 Portsmouth... Well our friends over at POL believe just that

Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen 3m As expected, John Sullivan signs two-year deal after passing his medical this morning. Another new #Pompey recruit!

Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen 1m #Pompey have completed the signing of Sonny Bradley and Danny East. Both from Hull. More could follow in next 24 hours. Sonny Bradley spent this season on loan at Aldershot... who finished bottom of League 2 Meanwhile Danny East joined Gillingham on loan in March... but only played twice.

Avram Grant joint third favourite

Hahaha can't believe that one got through

I thought this BVI loan was only £17M, somehow it's increased to £42M, so are we 42 million in the red or is this another Portsea Island myth? Meanwhile, Banker, A.K.A. Corporate Ho, thinks Edgar Davids is going to leave Barnet to become Whittingham's assistant manager. Surprised he's not advocating the arrival of Maradona or Riquelme...

Any sopcast links out there?

Let's not turn it into a negative atmosphere like we did against QPR. Positive songs about a positive team and we'll beat West Hoof easily
