Well known relativistic effect. The faster a team exceeds expectations, the slower times passes for a stationary observer

Hats off to them for playing City off the pitch

It warms the cockles of my heart, it really does

Scunny are one up, leaving the skates 11 points south of safety. Happy days

Thats pretty good against Swindon.

Get in!

They're now 9 points adrift of safety.

Neil Allen will be insufferable, I'm bracing myself for a thrilling account of how the pluckiest underdogs in the whole world got a point

I note they don't say who they'd like to see a win for

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-live 14:52 Comment From UnAppy Neil you're the best sports journalist in the world! Will love to see a win PUP PPU 14:52 Neil: I know I am, Thanks.

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Can't imagine why any self-respecting club would wish to bar the bestest sports journalist in the whole wide world

I guess we're asking what criteria the judge will use to decide whether PST's valuation of c.£3m is 'fair', or not? I would trust Chinny to have something up his sleeve in that respect, he didn't become a multi-multi-millionaire by failing to take care of business

Bunker update:

The Guardian Sport section has printed a useful summary: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/feb/07/portsmouth-bid-football-league

Cue the Dead Parrot sketch. Again. 'Notice it does not fly so much as plummet...'

The fact they can't understand why we find it so funny tells you everything. They wouldn't be where they are now if they weren't so hard of thinking

Understandable though

Yup. Toast

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.
