They're toast. Its just that most of them haven't worked it out yet

Music to my ears

I'm quite sure their cooling, twitching carcass of a club has one or two last jerks and gasps left in it yet, but its still a corpse. Its just that the penny hasn't dropped properly yet, owing to their not being overly blessed with critical faculties (putting it kindly). It'll be funny watching them work it out

They're finished.

Just when you think it couldn't possibly get any better

He's one of their bestest most passionate fans, he won't let his Pompey Dream die, not him, he cares only that their unique way of life is preserved, he doesn't care what it costs him in terms of his dwindling personal net worth... Oh.

Aaaah-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha.... Wipes tears from eyes and sits down with a beer and fresh tub of popcorn

You try finding an emoticon showing someone eating toast in keen anticipation of being royally entertained

This is shaping up nicely, and we are in the box seats

The HNWs face the enticing prospect of becoming LNWs sooner than they reckoned

Presumably they'll be exiting administration soon which means they'll have 10 of their hard-won points deducted shortly. Oh dear, what a pity

Scumstomper2 10:10 AM on 07/02/2013 There is no smoke without fire. Those who knocked the Trust doubters as to the fact that there would not be any potential alternatives, aggressivley dismissing such thoughts or hopes, may have to take a deep breath....It really isn't a surprise there may be competition surely? Look at us, the club the history. Who wouldn't want a part of it, eh??? Just a case of critical timing. The next couple of months, I feel, are going to be very intersting. PLAY UP POMPEY Exactly. Just look at you

:suspicious:

Penny's fairminded defence of the PST bid continues, apparently her greatest concern is to protect the creditors http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/city-financier-in-pompey-takeover-bid-reports-1-4760962 "So I would ask the administrator to take a more long-term view and consider what is the best bid for the club and to see creditors are going to be dealt with fairly."

Once you've been had by Keith Harris and been seen to tolerate his taking of personal liberties with you in public, its hard to maintain a dignified posture

Perfect

PFCinBromley 9:03 PM on 06/02/2013 Have a friend who works for Seymour Pierce - very reputable firm who are having difficulties due to market conditions. Keith Harris is not the sole owner - it's owned by the staff. He is a very credible figure in the City so shouldn't be written off as a chancer unlike some of the other potential owners. This is not propaganda on behalf of their bid - I work in the City and wanted to give an alternative POV to some of the others on the site And Hitler was nice to his mum.

Pompey, the gift that keeps on giving. Thank God for the gift of laughter

And the silence is palpable as the penny begins to drop...

They never seem to learn, this could run and run Early signs are that this may not, perhaps, provide the rich seams of comedy gold they mined with Joseph Cala's undersea resorts nor the belly laughs we shared here about their fake sheik, but perhaps they are, none the less, about to explore strange new ways of being hilarious, to seek out new depths of embarrassment and new opportunities for provoking mirth, to go boldly where no fishy friends have gone before.

Dear moderators, can we have an emoticon showing a bloke eating popcorn as they sit down in anticipation of being royally entertained, please? Maybe like this:
