yeah but the froth that the Sun dleivers or the more high brow the Times etc do the BBC cant compete with. It is not the same reading a newspaper on the internet.

I think that the majors will fall in line and whilst there will be many other sites, they will make it a closed shop. Then they will squeeze and margianalise the lesser news sites.There will be a clamp donw on blatent plaguerism. It has always surprised me that the news papers have free to read sites as their hard copies sell less.

No it was in the 80's well before RL. They may have voted again and Im sure RL would have voted for it, but he is history and he was using self interest. We will get to a stage when the big 4 will try and use their muscle. It is time for the smaller clubs to stand up and cut them adrift otherwise in 20years football will be a vastly different animal than it is now, not for the better. IMO the English football league is part of my heritage. I like many others supported it through its darkest hours and if it wasnt for people like us, when the crowds were dropping and football was seen as a leper many clubs would have folded. The modern game will eat itself, already the big clubs have got their way by being parchuted into the more lucrative stage of the league cup, if they get knocked out early in the CL they get into the Uefa and of course they get the best of the tv revenue. It is all lopsided and surely cant be sustained

I can see the PL trying to bend the rules to save Pompey.I cant remember his name but the main man from the PL introduced the Dr to pompey.It is all dirty stuff and the way they brushed the bung stuff under the carpet shows them to be what they are.

It was all heresay and in this day of cameraphones and getting them on youtube etc it is beyond belief if nobody ever took film and did not put it up. Yes he liked a drink but it was chinese whispers.

as a kid David James wanted to be a footballer to join the circus....he has both his wishes now

Daren he doesnt insult me he makes me laugh.I love to see him come back rattled as ive got under his skin. He is a little man with a massive chip on his shoulder. Instead of using a bit of humour like some of his fellow Skates, who poke fun at their situation as well he comes back in his spittle fuelled rage. lol

I liked reading both threads. 1 on each site. Of course now they will be deluted and 1 will fade.Sad as it was entertaining and a fair % of the Skates were happy to banter and joke.

Ho is rattled Lol, shows himself up as the little man he is. As for the misunderstanding,why word it as you did,never before have you mentioned the Dr as having people with him (as in family) My source is not in the commercial dept, but perhaps that is best for him. So you are still sticking by the 12k sold then? or did you make it up

the stories were unfounded, just a stick used to try and undermine him. He has been in the Scots job for over a year, do you not think they would not have had the press trying to dig stories up about that? It was a disgusting slur on his character. He has left but the methods used to try and get him to leave were distasteful. ps I do know he does like a drink, just like the majority of fans on here do. He has gone and chose to abandon us, he s no better than any other manager who has done the same to us in the past.

When Fahaven had a minutes silence at our place it was respectfully adhered too. I do believe that there may always be some who are moronic enough to shout, a few.On the Ted bates evening there was a large amount, perhaps as much as 10%. Many Pompey fans were appalled and sent in letters of apology.I myself understand that both clubs have idiots and will not beat the Skates on here for that.Just a bigger % on that day were out to offend, and they did. An embarrassment to your club that night.

Why put that he travelled over with people? It is obvious he'd travel with family. I suspect you were trying to make out it was with influential people or backers. As for not speaking out of turn to superiors, In my life I only have to answer to my wife and HMRC. I know 1 thing for certain you wouldnt speak out at your employers or you'd lose your job, rightly so. The broadly in line quotes you mention re s/t's, well put them up on here so we can guage who is saying it. No doubt as most of Pompeyonline view this site they saw your ITK quote and lapped it up. 9k was the last update i got from a mate. In the current financial state of the economy , the price of tickets, the upheaval, and player crisis i suspect that it is closer than the rose coloured spec view. I doubt you will only be down 1500 s/ts at this stage than last season when people were still on the high. 12k will be the projected final total. If it had happened to us the same in the PL I would expect a similar %fall.

Have they voted to name that bell at Pompey cathedral yet ? Lol

But I thought he was going to be buying it himself, why bring people across? If he has got some new funds with him, they have still to go through the FPT again. It does seem like another Pinnacle disaster to me. If I was the DR I would have sacked PS for his outburst, perhaps that is what he was after to get a payoff??? Have you had an update on the s/t thing from your mate, I have been told they are at around 9k does he still stand by the 12k going up to 16k?

being an early kick off, Millwall ,and live on Tv will be a negative to the gate.

Oh dear my haste has put me in the more again. Lol

I wonder if Corps ITK mate who says their s/t sales are at least 12k so far is as correct as my mate who ays that they have now only just touched 9000?

Don't worry i knew that and had mentioned it the past. I dont know if i mentioned it before but there was some underhanded substitutions going on!!! I cant wait to receive DVD 2 with the post match interviews on, if you want to hear sour grapes you can't miss that one. Lol

I have also sent the links all over the world, Totton, Lyndurst, Barton Perverill, Shirley and Wilton. It was just a great day and perhaps in hindsight we should keep to ourselves as next time there could well be a rush to join in.

Hey Phil you drop names almost as many times your keeper did the ball.....only kidding only him playing as a sweeper saved the game.

that could be seen as a good news and a bad news post, if you divide it correctly of course

funny I had thought that the renewals would be as slow as the Forum match DVD being distributed. Strange that it didnt happen that way

oh no a season with chavs and loud mouths...that's enough about me.

They still have enough about them to stay up.I wouldnt dance too much just yet.
