The game was too big for the scoreboard.

Did they #bootheirown?

What's truth got to do with it? [apologies to Tina Turner]

Playoff misery for the #pluckiest looms and another season in the bargain basement beckons

Merry Christmas to nut jobs everywhere. And a Bah Humbug to the #gaptoothiest

#deludedest

'Extra, Extra, Read All About It, talent-free scribbler pens a #factless puff piece' [with apologies to The Who]

That will be the most watertight 'gentleman's agreement' that was never inked. #tinpot

This.

""Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds nought and six, result 'debt-free' Pompey." - (with apologies to Wilkins Micawber)

Thats the #tinpotmost failed windup there ever was

'The Barca of L2' - priceless Thanks for making me laugh out loud this early in the morning

There must, logic dictates, be a point when this thread has gathered so much wit and insight that it ends up declaring itself sentient and becomes able to live an independent existence. In which case we shall all have to find something else to laugh at. Now thats a scary thought

To be fair, just for once, its not just we on this forum who have been saying 'this season or bust' while they've spent their last few seasons in football's bargain basement, they've been saying it themselves and behaving as if they believe it. They seem to have run out of gun runners, chancers and other unsavoury benefactors for the time being, so its anyone's guess how they're funding it

Its a little-known fact thats the bestest most debt-free £55,000ish that ever went unpaid to a local small businessman

Maybe, but I think we'll find this is the bestest safestest most surefire one last bet in all the world

According to Sports Direct who appear to own them and sell their tat, 'Sondico is a specialist football equipment brand with a rich heritage in gloves, balls and shin pads.' http://www.sportsdirectplc.com/our-brands/sports-and-leisure/sondico.aspx Furthermore, 'Sondico is the official kit sponsor of several teams within the English football league, including Yeovil Town, MK Dons, Port Vale and Gillingham.' Strangely the bestest are not mentioned, perhaps for fear of devaluing the brand. They can only aspire to be mentioned in the same glorious company as rock-bottom Yeovil Stay classy, skates

#topofdiv4withoutbeingthere, #slippedbackdowntoplayoffs, #booedtheirown

Perhaps its the "best atmosphere in world football" in the same way they're 'top of Div.4' a bare 9 points behind the leaders

Name one that isn't #deluded?

They'll remain #deludedly top of course

Simply the #bestest

Stay classy, skates

Not good enough to play for Nigel Adkins in L1, but will somehow nevertheless be 'firing Pompey into League One' http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-new-boy-s-promise-to-paul-cook-1-7053400 #deludedest
