I think what this thread has shown is that the people running Pompey know every dodge in the book and the posters on here are getting to their conclusions that they play by the rules. I think I have been consistant in my views that Pompey will survive and still come up smelling of roses. Today's reports sadly seem to show that. Chanrai and co has been given time by the judge to screw everybody and whilst we all felt that the SoA was a great result it seems to me at this time now it was worthless. How does that make decent working people who slog all week for meagre pay to support their teams then to see fooball club owners take the rip out of us and the revenue. That is all football fans. We in the main are oblivious to these things until we see it unfold so publicly. It is hard to tell youngsters that crime doesn't pay when they see apparent wrongdoings going on.

Derry I have been going since 1968 and di not know Merrington played for us!!! He couldnt have played many games surely, did he sign from Burnley?

It was the best half time entertainment when I was 10 watching the fighting stood at the front of the Archers. I remember one time the police threatening to empty the milton unless the fighting stopped. The fans and police always seemed to love the bother.

but the plus was we had been solid for the first 2 minutes,

that was horrid, but to me Ramsay nicked the ball away and shawcross had committed to his action

No you did the right thing as my daughter and myself both said his attitude changed when the interviewer made a couple odigs as though he was fighting for his job,,,add to that the Avram interview and I was spitting feathers at the cheek of Grant

why do when we play well and make the opposition look poor is it down to them being lame and the worst side around. We played football above our league standing and from the off terrified them even though they scored from their first attempt. We would beat any team in this league if we could sustain that level of football. Norwich and Walsall have been put to the sword by some very good football. Well done Saints. MoM Puncheon, he linked play and made the side look far more balanced than we have for a long time...ps well done Pardew

WC he did mention tuesday and said it something like the 'debacle tuesday'

Exactly, the interviewer said some things that got under his skin. The sarcastic comment about the fans singing his name was pathetic. The fans have been in the main behind him and I wish the solent interviewer was as niggly when interviewing Grant, who comes out with so much nonsense but they let him get away with it.

Mourinho V Ferguson if you please, Im the suave good looking one.

I listened to that interview and was incredulous. 'i believe in fairness, and that it should be decided on the pitch.Well he should look at the squad he should have been able to have and then see how fair it is. Again he said about that the PL stopped him having a full squad. No wonder they are in the state they are when this mentality rules

Danny Wallace had Hanson fouling him all the time, the ref let him get away with it. Only a weak backpass by Bond let Rush in to score and then it was game over. We were only likely to nick a win but while it was 0-0 there was always a chance

Now that is fantastic news for you. I dont wish to brag but I have won the lottery, got 3 numbers but fortunately I ticked the box no publicity , I didn't wan begging letters from FP

FF now you really cna buy him a drink with info like that coming out!!! Lets hope you persuade him to give us some more laughs

Why would severe wrist strain stop you walking?

No, but drop dead gorgeous.

Yet another who will be targetted in my extensive teamtalk. My centre halves are not very accurate, and so I might say take the right leg but they will almost certainly miss and take your left. Not following the managers instructions but I suppose that will be ok.

I wouldnt send it out too many times as that is an old un. Good to read that rehash again though.

Greg, if I stood back and looked at it from any other business standpoint I have encountered I would also say they were history....but for weeks on here we have had lots of very well people versed in these things saying that Pompey would not survive. They are still here and seeing how they have got away with so much in the last decade or so that has been obvious to lay men like myself, I feel they will get another large slice of luck. They are only 1 game from wembley semi final and 2 from the final. Just imagine the world coverage and the sypathetic media coverage and you never know some Chinese billionaire may come forward to save this quaint old football club.

I turned up on a fact finding mission, they looked rather useful, I think we had better man mark the shopping trolley as it looked better on its feet than the rest of that lot.

you forgot the pink cravate. I move in the less sophisticated parts of society, in case you hadn't noticed. It is Dr Martens and not open unless you are offered a decent wedge.

I have 1 rule for all my defenders. It is very simple, as most centre backs have headed the ball and opponents forwards too many times. Rule 1 if it has an away shirt on kick it, if it still is moving do it again until it has stopped doing so.

I didn't but my older did. I think that was the occasion when we took their end?

Lol that's the state of our edcation, and that was under Harold Wilson

A copy of an e-mail I sent to the PM's office 'I find it very distaseful that you have offered your words of comfort to Portsmouth football club. This is a club who have been run on a boom and bust policy. How about all the other clubs who have been run prudently? Or bigger clubs like Southampton Leeds etc who have gone into administration but never had the same soothing words from you. Only today Chester have been expelled from the league and Bournemouth have been served with a winding up order. Just because Portsmouth are in the PL (and only been so due to buying their place and not being prudent) you have made it your business to make your statement. in time you will see it as a misjudgement to stand by their side as even the High court registrar agreed that they were being run whilst being insolvent. as your position as a former chancellor of the exchequer i think that they are not the club you should be cosying up to.'
