FilmOn and IraqGoals are both freezing. I'm gonna marry neither of them at this rate. Pull yourselves together Internet streams. I'm going nuts here.

Rules will probably be changed to help them out. Let's just beat them and remove the problem.

FilmOn.com, if you load up and we win, I may marry you, even if you are only a website.

Come on filmon.com. Load damn you! I'm down to the spare PC in the kids rooms. Don't condemn me to text updates. Please load...

Let's get this pre-match thread closed and get on with it! Have it! :D

To be honest, we have to stop complaining about how unfair it is and just beat what XI is put in front of us. It is unfair, but that's life. The PL look after their own whereas the FL were fully prepared to let one of it's own clubs go to the wall. It certainly skews the odds significantly in Pompey's favour but no-one will change their mind and make it fair for us so bring your best singing voices and let's put out OUR best XI and beat them anyway.

I'll be 10,000 miles away but I'll be there in spirit, singing "Red Army" until I'm hoarse with my brother and drinking my mum's trademark magical coffee. May you all find your finest voices, come what may. A repeat of that 3-0 third round FA cup match at the Dell and you'd probably hear my cheers from over here. And FFS let me find a decent Internet stream to watch so I don't have to read the match progress via text updates

True. But this has taken rather a Pompey slant: You've got an "arrangement" to give it regularly to one person but you choose to withhold it from them for a couple of months whilst bringing in someone new and giving it all to them instead.

The reserves. Trophy guaranteed.

I know it's like opening an old wound but can someone who was there for the infamous derby game at Fartin' Park explain the Amarillo song? Did they change the lyrics or anything?

You're right. We should all be outside Fratton Park with rocks and stones. Bring the kids too. That's the Pompey way to celebrate the demise of your rivals isn't it?

I don't think there is such a deadline. That's in the football league. I reckon they could even go into admin after the final whistle in the final game and they'd just be deducted Premier League points from their current season's tally. I don't believe they could or would transfer a penalty to the football league. The Premier League wouldn't attempt it and Pompey would contest it if they did.

Do Pompey know any other answer but to gamble? A payoff is short term. The problems will still exist and the only solution they seem to be going for is to find a buyer AND hold off relegation. And they are currently 7 points adrift with goal difference probably making it 7.5. If they don't pull back into the pack soon, will the buyers even be interested? And if not, a Championship side with £60m debt is a very different animal to a Premier League one. Their game against Sunderland is massive - like the one we had (in 96?) away against Sunderland where it was pretty much loser gets relegated. It was their last season at Roker and we were still to get St. Marys. If we had lost, we would have been relegated and then...? I fully expect Portsmouth to win - but then they need to. Even a draw isn't good enough. I expect a one goal win. I'm just hoping it's the Mackems that pull it off.

Indeed. "You're just a small town in " Don't forget we now have the perfect antidote to fans of other clubs adopting the "scummer" tag. Just talk to them as if they are Pompey fans, commiserate about the poor state of their team etc. etc. When they refute being Pompey fans just ignore them and continue referring to them as such as if you didn't hear them. They'll soon stop using the term "scummers" for fear of being associated with that complete laughing stock of a club.

"If I have learnt anything about running a football club, it is by standing on the shoulders of midgets..."

I thought she did it so she could pretend her sister was still alive while using her late sister's name as a front to perform unscrupulous business transactions with the aim of getting close to her dream man, who happens to be an unscrupulous Russian businessman with dodgy connections. But maybe that's just how we do things in the Al-Faraj family.

Bent over the Rothmans Football Yearbook 2009-2010 Edition and butt-f*cked out of the league. HTH. *Alternatively, the Goal Football Annual 1976.

God I love this place sometimes. Last week we were the Man City of League One. This week we are the skinflints of League One. Welcome back to the Bi-Polar Saints Support Group. One day we'll all agree about our club: It will be February 7th between 4:00am and 4:01am No-one will be online to share the love, though.

Just enough to cover the debts and pay next month's wages then. Useful.

The Anniversary shirt and Promotion Campaign shirt all rolled into one. Righteous!

Dumb and Dumber? One Cup Final and a Funeral? 2010: A Plaice Odyssey?

True. Shame but I think they could win that one. Saturday looks tasty, though. They play ManU away. Bolton play Fulham, Burnley play West Ham, Stoke play Blackburn, Sunderland play Wigan. Plenty of chances for other teams to leave them behind.

But I thought Original Bournemouth Saint was the poster who regularly locked horns with Alpine Saint, defending George Burley and his managerial record. Or am I thinking of someone else?

Sorry. Bit confused here. I thought Glasgow Saint was originally Original Bournemouth Saint. Is this true?

Not enough signings yet? Are your initials HR? Like the BBC link. Will have to watch to see the Fratton Exodus. Like the twittered comment: From AFCBPETER on Twitter: "Firesale continues at Pompey. Fan with big hat spotted outside White Hart Lane." Maybe some signings are still in the pipeline for us but as Bosmans agreed now and pencilled in for the summer when their contracts expire?
