It might be fun to speculate on what the landlord of said LCS is pulling for him. Fools Gold (4% abv, Four Thorns of York New Brewery) perhaps? Or how about Tick or Cheat (4.0% abv, Buntingford) Or Ship of Fools (6.7% abv, Ramsgate)

The ends of natural justice will be served if they go phut. On the other hand they have, since 2009, been the cause of more hilarity and coffee-ruined keyboards than anyone or anything else I can think of. The fact is that its completely free of charge, has gone on for so long, & looks likely to Carry On* for some time yet. Their almost total inability to understand why everyone else finds their plight so funny is the icing on the cake. Lor' bless 'em * maybe one of our more artistically gifted members could draft a poster for 'Carry On P*mpey'? With the usual suspects of course

Come on lads you can hold out that long, just another 10 days, never mind the blue phew, think how you could become Living Legends for 10's of thousands of Saints

I fixed it for you Job jobbed

I'll take the lego

Permission to be confused? I thought the players were secured via the FC rule before all this happened

wtfiln :D :D :D :D

Seems Gillett chose to walk away from his P*mpey Dream: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/pompey-to-lose-gillett-1-4108562

Nicely put I've yet to hear PFC mentioned anywhere in the last few years without laughing, which I'm sure won't worry the deluded phew in the slightest In future I should imagine they will be the cautionary tale that mothers tell their offspring, 'ffs don't rip people off, you'll end up like the skates without a pot to p*ss in'

Poetic licence

Courage, mon brave: the pigeons are - however belatedly - coming come to roost. No matter how much they wriggle, they can't escape the fact they have become the laughing stock of the English game and I four one am looking forward to the next fortnight with considerable relish

One might reasonably expect the FL to have something to say about that. There again this is the DFCBS and they don't seem to learn, at least in their current incarnation - gazumping clubs that do spend within their means for the best players is what got them where they are, so for us its win-win - they can carry on as they did before and we can eat popcorn watching it all unravel again, or they can start trying to live within their means and we can enjoy their consequent humiliation

Confucious he say drowning man clutches at straws

whats to hate? what goes around comes around

Yes, but those would be the actions of a club that wasn't permanently entitled to a place at the top table

Brilliant. The one on the bottom right looks handy

Another one that can't understand why the world doesn't revolve around them

From Wikipedia: Narcissism In clinical psychology and psychiatry, an unrealistic, exaggerated, or rigidly held sense of entitlement may be considered a symptom of narcissistic personality disorder, seen in those who 'because of early frustrations...arrogate to themselves the right to demand lifelong reimbursement from fate. (Otto Fenichel, The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis (London 1946) p. 499) That is all

A pompeyperson that 'gets it'. Legend indeed

I think for them, 'truth' is not an absolute, its more of a relative kind of thing and in their minds, its whatever they want it to be Sorry, that sounds a bit Zen, I think what I'm really trying to say is they make it up as they go along

Genuine coffee over keyboard moment

I think perhaps we could respond with a few fascinating propositions for them also

Nurse! New keyboard here please

Its been pointed out that there are really only three possible outcomes come 10/8/12: (1) Chinny owns them, (2) PST owns them, (3) they go pop. And the truly wonderful thing is that any of them will yield years of fun and laughter

And when I got there guess who was standing outside?
