A plucky point in prospect. Break out the open top bus

Being the bestest means never having to shut the f*ck up

Plymouth 1 - 0 Portsmouth

Why? because if they ever brought themselves to admit that their gamble backfired then they'd also have to accept they're out of the limelight for good and all

I'm sure pompey pravda will have nobhead neil rushing into print right away with a pullitzer-winning factual article which corrects that

OK I'll bite. Here's a starter for 10: Its a towering tale of illicit love, delusion, betrayal and shattered dreams set against the backdrop of A World Gone Mad! Experience the sweeping panorama of a lacklustre bombed out provincial port! Witness the epic struggle of the bestest to save their tatty tawdry tumbledown timber tabernacle acted out by a phew gaptoothy fishfolk who never boo their own!

That isn't just food. Thats food

They're playing Doncaster at home this afternoon. Come on you red and white Rovers

We'll see how sincere the NHWs are when the next meltdown comes and they realise they're about to lose their £££

If previous experience is any guide, I'm sure the hilarity will continue irrespective of whether they escape the Div.4 gravity well this time or not. Their Trump-like self delusion will see to that

Percy: Do not despair! For I have some small savings carefully harvested from my weekly allowance, set aside against my frail old age. By lucky haps, it is just over a thousand, methinks, and for years has been hidden beyond the wit of any thief, in an old sock... Percy and Blackadder: ...under the squeaky floorboard... Percy, Blackadder and Baldrick: ...behind the kitchen dresser. Percy: [smiles uneasily] You've seen it, then. Blackadder: Seen it, pinched it, spent it! And the same goes for the two farthings Baldrick thinks he's got hidden inside that mouldy potato. Baldrick: Oh, bloody hell!

"Possible explanations for the unwelcome stench included fertiliser and the sea air." Really? not Fartton Krap at all, then

Phew...

Well they are the bookies' favourite, and so they should be considering what they're spending compared with the budgets of their competitors in that league. On the other hand, if they bottle it *again* I'll probably never stop laughing

Pictures?

In any therapeutic conversation, the 'care receiver' has to be ready to hear difficult truths. And there's the problem.

At least they've saved themselves the embarrassment of another public meltdown in the wake of their latest defeat courtesy of mighty Yeovil

Full-time Yeovil 4 Pompey 3 I'm sure we'll be told they didn't want it anyway

And in other news, the Most Protestingest cut their nose off to spite their face: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/live/daily?1362810 "Tonight's clash will be lowly attended - rumours of 1,000 or so, which would represent a post-war low for Pompey in England"

Cook's strategic genius again: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/pompey/paul-cook-pompey-aren-t-firing-1-7549218 'He feels scoring goals in matches was the recurring theme to the Blues’ best home results. Cook said: ‘There are key points in games when you have to score. ‘We had some great wins at home last season and they all came off the back of us scoring'

Time to award them yet another superlative: Most Protestingest

I'm sure with their groaning war chest the pluckiest will have been able to afford a flight to Exeter. Swanwick NATS will have been ordered to clear the skies so that the Barca of Portsea Island have a straight run and no doubt the emergency services will have been told to clear the roads around Exeter so that their limo from the airfield doesn't have to sit in traffic all afternoon

I read the 'original'. Its fair to say you caught the spirit
