That's a promising trend. Perhaps Awford will take them to new depths? Here's hoping

I would take issue with any assertion that they won the FA Cup. I'd say they stole it with players they couldn't afford using money they didn't have and could never repay

Still a kn0b

This is sublime. All my prejudices confirmed at once

Fairs fair, 4% of 4% of 20% of his wages would still have been more than they could afford

Complete this sequence: Hero>Villain>Hero>...

I fixed it for you

'"We felt Richie was the wrong manager, at the wrong place at the wrong time and did not fit in at Portsmouth," Brown told BBC Radio Solent. ' Oh how their hero's turned villain

The sense of desperation down there is palpable now. Oh to be a fly on the wall of their fetid boardroom

Who represents Japan?

I plan to wait until they've lost another three games on the bounce and then sow further discord by starting a viral 'Bring Back Barker' campaign

Its shaping up nicely for them to implode towards the end of the season, get relegated and this thread hit 100 000 posts all at the same time. That would work for me.

Correct. Nothing there to say what constitutes an 'emergency'. According to http://www.e-comlaw.com/world-sports-law-report/article_template.asp?Contents=Yes&from=wslr&ID=1403 'The 'emergency loan' system -* under FA and Football League regulations - allows Football League clubs to take on loan players not receiving regular first team football, often to cover injuries. ' It also says 'FIFA orders end of 'emergency loans' in England by 2014/15', so they'll have to make the most of it while they can ...

Good job!

Looks as if one or two of them are starting to get it

#factlessallen, in another breathtakingly banal 'scoop': 'Barker future remains undecided' http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/barker-future-remains-undecided-1-5962256 I saw this and thought it might, with a little adroit clipping, make a nice counterpoint to

So #tinpotlessportsmouth

Another mouthwatering derby? '‘Pompey FC We’re Coming For You’ was the chant as Eastleigh stormed back to the top of Skrill South.' http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/11101729.Reason_to_believe_as_six_goal_Eastleigh_go_top/?ref=var_0 Just saying

Agent Connolly is doing nicely at Oxford, according to #factlessallen he had the foresight to ensure that there is no recall clause

You're all wrong. Its 'everyone else' i.e. 'the whole world is against them', its a massive conspiracy. They'll all be wearing tin foil hats soon

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-0-york-1-1-5956310 Purple prose from the pen of #factlessallen: 'Saturday’s result against York opened the door for the true severity of the current situation to come barging in bearing its teeth. Forget fantasy talk of a tight table ensuring the club is still in touch with the top-10 – or staging a marvellous late play-off push. While you’re at it, time to stop gazing longingly at Oxford and wishing David Connolly was still at Pompey’s disposal. It’s not going to happen, he’s gone for the remainder of the campaign, face up to it, there’s no recall clause. The combustible veteran who alienated some at Fratton Park on and off the training pitch is not booked to arrive back until the summer.' Sounds as if (in the vacant mind of #factless at any rate) Agent Connolly is still doing a job for us

If even self-confessed skate Claridge says they're doomed, things must indeed be bad for them. In the immortal words of Sergeant Major Williams, 'Oh dear, what a pity, never mind'

They are truly the gift that keeps on giving. Some of their own contributors to the snooze comments pages are starting to admit the (for them) awful truth about what a laughing stock they've become.
