just saw a bit of Avram on itv. Still talking about hard done to, and how their fans deserve it more than any others. It drives me crazy how blinkered the media are to agree and then have the sypathy. Come on Spurs, but I have a horrible feeling......

Spurs just have to win. For Pompey to get to the cup final another one off game it would be hell. All that media coverage with W******d etc getting the limelight. No a sound beating in a cup semi final. I have suffered 2 FA cup semi final defeats and it is a sickening expereince, let them have some of that medicine, that will take them down a peg, especially as their end empties before the final whistle..great fans

Brilliant bit of forward thinking being ready to record that

Thats sometghin g to look forward to

Id have taken that in September

Surely not, he's only a shotstopper

After last years game i suspect you will be happy if you cross the halfway line

Perhaps what i say is drivel, but how many times have we been told they are finished? Some very good judges have been proved wrong so far about this business and the Administrator instead of losing costs has appointed a new CEO, that would increase their costs not lose them. I have been very cauious about the trumpetting of their demise as they keep wriggling. I have not bothered to go back and look at your posts pre the high court case, but if you were then saying they were toast or goners you were at that time yourself talking drivel as it turned out incorrect. When they go out of the cup perhaps your prediction will come to pass but the sheer audacity of how things are going seem to go against all laws of business practice. I have yet to see anyone who seems to be able to give a full account of why. That is not a criticism of anyone but just shows how things are in this case

pathetic saints fan if his 6 yr old kid is dictating

That's what I wondered, there are some strange things going on

Ho , it is not 4 months unpaid tax and NI. You are doing yourself an injustice if you really believe that the HMRC have got their figures wrong.It is years of avoidance, hence the many warnings and the HMRC at the end of their tether after Pompey kept renaging on their rescheduled payments.Your calculations are saying that the HMRC get 3m a month NI and tax. As I have pointed out before and many others in the media nad on here , you spent and bought well above your means. You will not see it and argue against me but your club bought the FA cup by fielding a side you could not afford. In doing so your fans and club had their time in the sun, at the same time depriving fans of other clubs who were prudent, of having those days and memories. I have seen a few of your fans say that the FA cup win was worht it and so if you get severe punishment then perhaps some justice will be seen to be done. If you have the FA cupwin and only relegation, i suspect most fans of football clubs would take that.

I cant see the FL clubs voting in favour of that as it gives the relegated teams such an advantage

and every week they are......how many weeks have they been toast but somehow squirm out of it? If they were under the same business rules the rest of us have to adhere to then I'd agree, but weeks ago they should have turned the oxygen off, but somehow they stick in there. My head tells me they will come to a sticky end but they certainly keep showing signs of life. Getting relegated is not my idea of them getting their comuppence, and if that is all they get they have shafted everyone. Next week if they go out of the cup we may then see the meltdown but boy it gets tedious waiting for the excitement.When was that High Court winding up order heard??? I t has been going on for a lifetime

I dont follow Fulham but I thought he was getting a lot of abuse from their fans last season. Has that changed and is he playing every game?

I thnk he means how AA was caught out before by the HMRC, but it could 1 of a hundred other tricks that club has got up to. I have become disenchanted with our legal system. You see this lot who to me seem to be flouting the law time and again and nothing seems to be done. Sadly Clapham has kept a low profile, and I would have loved to have seen more of his professional knowledge talk us through what he sees going on. It would be an interesting slant on things, he helped a lot to grasp an understanding of when we were in admin.. When AA first arived htere was a lot of trumpetting of redundancies, but they mostly turned out to be part tiem staff, why has he not got a knife to the fat in the club? From here it stinks,and I hope the HRMC really have their top people watching the goings on fully. Monday things may change dramatically if Pompey are out of the cup, but the way things are going you can see them turning Spurs and harry over.

Perhaps Boro should point out Pompey havent played Dindane for the very same reason. Iam surprised that Pompey had not renegotiated that when they needed money some months ago

Earning 3 times what he does now soon becomes quite a draw.Im sure Baird is upset he doesnt get many games but Im sure he soon forgets as he sees his wage slip. If AL believes in his own ability he would not be thinking he was going to warm the bench (whatever I believe would be the case)he will be expecting to set the world alight.

Well with those provisos Im sure you can say he is not leaving, I have no doubt he is saying what you have told us. Time will tell if his head gets turned.

Weston , it is all very well saying AL says he wont be leaving but my house is not for sale at any price, until I get a massive offer that makes me think differently. Wait and see if a big opportunity comes along and then see. I do wonder also if Antonio's success has indeed sparked Reading into not wanting him to leave there.

Buchan played him on, but he was always very bitter when asked about it

great stuff, what memories

Good post, and might not be far from the truth..but the drip drip of its all over is wearing thin as no action is happening. No doubt if they lose sunday then it will go into meltdown and the players will hae to find other employers

And people wonder why I have said time and again 'Pompey will get away with it' All of a sudden their injury ravaged side has got 4 players back. Spurs should win,but dark forces are in play

I agree that Granty defended 19thc from many who wanted him out, and has been very fair. I haven't seen what 9teen did yesterday but it must have been pretty bad. I do hope it is not a case of appeasement to get former memebers back on. 19c gave a good account lots of times. I hope he gets another user name and stops the snipes at MLT etc which does irritate many who then retaliate.

is that a threat or a promise Steve? Lol.
