it could be clever marketing of course, people are talking about it and so it gets exposure , also all those floating fans from Fareham etc might think it is indeed a Liverpool shirt and so buy one lol

I very doubt that. The majority of Saints fans will wish to have the home kit when we are at SMS. Not all are the style icons that the intelligentsia are on here

They were alongside submariners and those of the Artic convoys the bravest of the brave. When you think how many of us fear flying on holiday, and what they went through when they were protected by very little and ack ack nightfighters etc attacking them. It is to Churchill and other politicians shame that they were not honoured before. Yes the Dresden bombing may have been a bit much but they followed their orders and it saved many allies lives as it diverted so much from the Russian front.

Has Gary Neville signed for us? Brilliant we need his experience

I didn't realise that TB had powers like that to cut wages, how about his own?

he is a risk and if he is £6m then !!!! we have seen many young keepers with promise fall from grace. Goalkeepers IMo are at their best later in their careers

Wes I dont think I could put my hand up and say that there wouldnt be saints fans who'd think the same if the roles were reversed. That paragraph sums up why I believe they have got away with it. Most clubs fans in all of football except for the top 6 of the PL might take that if they were offered it to have those life experiences. If they had not cheated their kids would never have experienced those days that robbed other clubs fans of the same because they played it correctly. Fair play would be demoted to the Southern League etc and then i would also agrwee that they then had paid the price, until then i will not change my mind.

true, lol

its ok you are among mates.

that would be very difficult to prove. TB would say he was only making people aware of the clubs position and who can be responsible for the action of its customers. They will of course come out and not condone any actions by fans.

I think he is a terrier in midfield with a bit of bite, a will to win and has played in the PL.Good signing if true, but I suspect that it was someone who looks like him there are plenty around who look ugly like a rotweiler. Just go to Southsea common and thats just the women

those players have had an easy ride so far, wait until the training starts and they have to face the fans one to one. The pressure will be become intense and TB etc know that that pressure will become unbearable as it gets closer to the end. I have no doubt the players will give in as the hate campaign will become pretty fierce. I couldnt say it wouldnt be the same with us. Anyone around in the Branfoot days will know how awful fans can be and that was not about survival

Frank he put a smiley at the end and so I suspect it was how he wished it to be

So much for toast then. The CVA being passed will mean that the FL can waive any penalties and Pompey can live on still wallowing in their past glories. Many will say they have not got away with it but I believe they have had a whale of a time and taken a small pill. Since watching Saints from the late 60's Pompey were always off the radar except a flirtation with the top league for one season under Bally. So for 40 years years they did SFA, and then they had the overspending and cheating that gave them a wonderful time in the sun and many Wembley trips. They are now back to where they were, but if history is a lesson they are still alive and could rise from the cesspit once again.

MLT took the blame at the time but it came in the press afterwards that it was Steve McManaman who did the damage as he had a column in an Italian paper and he was responsible for the leak

Dont worry you will get away with it, although fans at other clubs are now waking up to the fact and are starting to resent the club.

i thionk Rodney Wallace was the last really decent winger with pace and skill we had. MLT and him had a wonderful understanding and I recall against QPR away and I think Liverpool at the Dell they scored a few by their play together. i was always upset that they were split so early in their careers

Its fairly obvious the FL dont wish to do anything that will push them under. Any cynical owner will know that and so uses that to their advantage. I suspect the PFA and FL lawyers are looking at any possibilities they can to evade paying the outstanding wages to the players. 'But the PP will cover that' i hear people cry but as i see it if Pompey go into liquidation any pp will stay with the Pl and leave the PFA and Fl holding the baby

that is probably the worst insult you could hand out!!!! I throw my toys out of the pram not arrange them on shelves

Imran Khan ? Granty have you got my cheque yet? im still getting ads and I should be a full member

exactly, i said that to a Bournemouth fan this morning. I suspect Bompey home is their biggest gate of the season and the FL conveniently made it their first fixture to get a bit of interest out there. It may get a few more s/t sold.

how can you expect us to remember all those verses, not 1 word about pompey and no quality lyrics like Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve. Just a bunch of pussies IMO

Is it only me that thinks that now TB is also working more in BC interests than anyone elses? He is using crude methods of pressure on the players (they will become more unbearable as they come back for training as every fan will be on their backs)to walk. Whilst many on here would say 'well I would put up with it for 30k a week' i suggest in real time it will not be so easy. No-one wants to face the torrent of abuse all the time and i suspect some will crumble. Yet again the football authorities are watching the crime but hiding behind the curtains instead of going to stop it. TB said some weeks ago the money is going to run out but magically they can still limp on another 5 weeks. Where those funds are coming from is a bit of a mystery, i know they have sold a couple of players but was it all up front? As for the FL ,as soon as they grant the golden share they will allow the potential chaos of folding during the season happen.

Perhaps in a professional sense but he did not look like a broken man yesterday as he went to the bank. He is loved by the press and his name will be linked with lots of jobs, the person broken is Kevin Bond as IMO,he would not get a job at McDonalds if HR is not behind him

Levy supported HR during his court case. he also knows that there is a chance of more surfacing in the future. HR on Sky and the BBC talking about his contract will annoy Levy as he knows he is trying to drum up pressure from the fans.
