He has indicated he would invest £20m before studying plans to float Portsmouth in New York. Lol, anyone got a toprpedo?

So how much money would Brian Howe have? I assume he is the lead singer of Bad Company, not a major name and so i doubt he would have untold millions.Of course he may have made a lot of money in investments

I understand the boring bit but I also get boredof being told they are toast, is 2 or 3 years now? Each and every time (my hero apparently) AA has made rings around all the educated on here. I would love them to be toasted to a frazzle but you are dealing with people who know all the dodges and have been 3 steps ahead of all the predictions I have read on here. They havent even had a points deduction, even after all the conflicting quotes AA puts out! I have been banging on about the FA and other wold football associations IMO desperately not wanting the true facts to come out. When Pompey are toast I will be delighted to buy you a drink to celebrate but until then I expect to be frustrated again by some very clever operators.

thats more caps then Vince Hilaire, Alan Biley and many of your other heroes ever had Lol. of course during the lets 'lets rob the Cancer charity' tour, that lasted 5 years or so you had loads of International stars in your squad lol

I think Chanrai lives in HK, perhaps the new Chinese interest could be put down to him or 1 of his cohorts.It seems the posters on here are shouting into the wind, as time and again AA seems to find a new way of keeping the wolves at bay. The FL as usual do nothing and just let things roll along.

WHU can say the same as us, that if they had not mucked up they could be clear. A real let off and lets hope we push on

Im sure most of us have felt all along that the squad needed strengthening. It has been all so apparent when RL and RC have been out. It would be nioce if the club were positive and signed a couple of players as soon as the window opens, and not wait for the last minutes of the window closing again. i do realise that they do so to get the price down but I believe we are at a crucial stage of the clubs upward climb. Fingers crossed.

Will Forest buy their players and so give them funds, that in turn keep them from getting a minus 10 point deduction? or buy a couple of their players in the hope that the players may get them some points? Difficult call, also I read somewhere that Forest had run out of money anyway

The time slot it is put on is the reason viewing figures are so low. By the time MotD has come on and gone iam too tired to watch the FLS. They have tried to make the show too trendy when really all fans want to see is the action and a little bot of opinion. As for Hansen getting 40k a programme, it shows how bloated and wasteful the BEEB is. Even the radio shows are about personality rather than the music, eg The Chris Moyles show, all about him, the Syeve Wright show ditto etc etc.

Lol, i know it is absurd, but it did come from somebody so close to him, i thought i would put it up. You'll all be licking out of my hands when it comes to fruition......lol

I know it is laughable and don't shoot the messenger. Came from a member of his close family,between us and Brum apparently I am very sceptical but this person should know!!! i wouldn't post this if it had been from mate in the pub. He is in his 30's and whilst did a good job before I dont think he would be up to it now, but strange things do happen. i would have thought we would be aiming higher but!!! He is a free agent.

He has done more for the country than you will do. Ok he has had the trappings of royalty but i doubt if many of us would want to do engagements every day when you are in your 90's and have to shake hands and be pleasant to the likes of you. You should be ashamed but of course you wont be

I suppose if you were a good boy mummy would bring you out a bag of crisps to have with your coke. I can't help thinking you at a work drinks do like David Brent and the others taking the p### out of your lack of knowledge of all things, and raising their eyebrows as you started on about Pompey

i can't see what the fuss is about, what has PFC now to do with the proud tradition of Portsmouth Football club from the 1940's...... afterall there have been at least 3 companies (perhaps 4 pretty soon lol)since and so have no ties to the past

it is not about me personally, as Im able to look after myself to a degree. I would not expect to walk down Goldsmith ave abusing Pompey fans and not get abuse back and perhaps worse. The civil liberties argument is interesting, as what about non football fans who wish to go about their daily business but have to hide away or live in fear of rampaging football fans. Local people will be very happy how things went, and in time the police costs can be downgraded as both sets of supporters will know that you cant have a go and so will file into games like any other and just trade insults across the divides. As for indictment of modern society, surely the real aggro many of us witnessed in the late 60-70-early 80's showed the past as worse than now.

yeah i remember that feeling of 84, it still sends a tingle down the spine when I watch the last few minutes and when we score, but that still doesnt cover the fact that the normal man in the street who is not a football fan gets terrorised by groups of fans who have lost all sense of reason on such days. I have no pride when i recall seeing woman and kids cowering in doorways as a group of Saints fans looking for trouble passed by. They would have been safe of course but they weren't sure. The bubble didnt stop fans hurling obsenities at each other in the ground though.Perhaps the bubble made it more accessible for families to go and so dilute the 'lad' element in the crowd, but all games when the tickets are only released to S/t holders etc did that anyway. Do you recall in the 90's when Pompey were in the old 1st division they came to the Dell and we sold only tickets to S/t holders and members on the fear of trouble ? The home section was not full and it was normal football supporters in our part, and the atmosphere was dull.So it is not the first time. The walk down Goldsmiths would only be by escort at the cost of hundreds of Police, yes an adrenaline rush perhaps but sooner or later there would be a fatality and that could never be brushed over. I assume when you do talk of walking down Goldsmiths it was in an escort, i did it in 84 when there wasn't but the police soon learn t they couldnt do that again. I can go without having a drink before and during the game, it was harsh that they let the Pompey fans have a drink, and perhaps they were more up for it due to that, but the cameras showed as they went around the ground that the majority of them should have arrived in a bingo bus

The song is not to my taste but if you think that is more embarrassing than having your top fan with his entourage of stripped to the waist hangers on, on national tv, ringing his bell etc, then you have missed the plot yet again. The Fratton end has become far from intimidating now, since you have let Westwood become the leader and focus of the medias attention. It is like a Punch and Judy character in his beach hut on the Southsea beach. The cameras showed the nation the cream of your fans on the day, and it is nothing like the former mob you used to have singing. I found it funny watching a load of grannies grandads with their bottle blond hairstyles trying to intimidate from the Fratton end.Lol

So the buzz is about a few fans being cornered and the s### kicked out of them by 'fans' of either side. It seems to me the 'Buzz' is standing behind a line of police and throwing obscenities at fans of Pompey. I saw too much of it in the late 60-70's to want more. All this women and kids shouldn't be there stuff is bizarre. You may want to go back to class war, rickets and adject poverty for the masses so you can get the working mans game back but like the wind up gramaphone it is rightly a thing of the past. I recall when it was unsafe for females and kids to go into the town centre on matchdays due to the trouble. I loved the buzz of 1984 when we took 6000 to FP and the tense atmosphere, it wasnt about the football it was about where the next coin/brick/attack was likely to come from. I dont want my kids to go through that, and so call me a pussy i vote for the bubble. I hope it was such a success that when they come to SMS it will be used again

How can you only get an adult caution for that?????? Surely it must come under an ABH offence.

Having a go at our fans because they are old and not 'lads' up for it is pathetic. Many of those 50-60 year olds were up for it when it really was tough to go to away games. Its ok now when you go to games and there are lots of police presence but go back to the 70's when the police had little experience of handling such things, and there was carnage. If going to a match means you can goad the oppo fans behind a lines of coppers but not in a bubble is more exciting then good on you. if you really want it out with Pompey fans, get in your car and stand outside FP today and give them some.You wont, because you wont have the security of Police dogs etc. The cameras panned around the ground and there was the same mix of fans in the Fratton end as there was in ours. Get over it.

Im probably like many tired of reading that their time has come, only for them to keep getting away with it. How many events have happened where it looks like they are finished only for people to work out they have sidestepped the hangman. The closest they got and will ever was the day in court when the lady lost her nerve to liquidate them, this was after PS seemed to inflate their asset value to ease her concerns. Then AA came on the scene and has played this as a chess game, always being 4 or 5 steps ahead of the authorities and others with their own views. Sadly Clapham has kept out of posting recently,his was true insight into the IP's position. I would have thought that DL's wording about the asset being in the administrators hands could be a major gaff. i hope the more legally minded will be able to work that out and send it on to the right people. As for his last words on the webchat 'we're waiting' was an interesting lick up to the fans and no doubt the 'we-re coming for you' song is being used to psyche up their squad.

Hey DT remember our little debates re KD?

i always find it amusing when posters go on about others being illiterate or foolish etc only to spell the word wrong. Lol Stupid Boy. As for turnover ratio etc you really are stupid, so in those terms Rochdale could go out and buy star players and use the same excuse. If you have 20k gates then you can only budget to those incomings, it is like having the income of a Robin Reliant that has failed the MOT and then go out and buy a Ferrari by deceiving an old lady/charity/local business to get it. I have no doubts that some would defend our club if we had done the same, but the decent fair minded fans would hold their hands up and 'Yep, fair play we did cheat, nothing I could really do about it, but i did have a good time. Sorry but we had people who played the system and won' As an aside , as i was typing this a Swindon fan walked in and we talked about Pompeys cheating, he said he was sick of hearing about poor old Pompey and what their fans have to put up with. 'that club could teach the Italian Mafia about corruption' were his words. Lol

AA and Chanrai always 3 or 4 steps ahead of the game. It would be funny if htis dodge came back and bit Hacker's by the Lith government seizing their assets

our away form is adding tremendous pressure to our home games. It said on Solent that 3of the next 4 are at home. Can we expect 9 points from those home games ? i think not especially if RL is not fit. The lack of back up for RL has been obvious for over a year or so, nobody at the club seems to have tried to rectify. Yes ther have been rumours that we are after forwards but we have failed to gett one in.The loss of Chaplow and RL is telling and fans at other clubs have been scoffed at when they have stated we woud falter hwen injuries took their toll. It is only a defeat but BC was bad enough to not learn the lessons of that game is a bit worrying
