Its not Cody I'm complaining about, just the pressure that has been put on him by someone.

Don't worry he's going to be League 1 top scorer remember.

Just had a look on the BBC stats. Pocession 67% Yeovil Yeovil 13 shots to our 3

All I'm saying is if we're serious about promotion we need to win these sort of games. I just hope we come out all guns blazing in the 2nd half.

Not at all, its only 1 game, but its against a team that nearly went down last year.

Both Leeds and Saints would have been top 6 in their first season if it wasnt for a points deduction. Im sorry but it has to be top 6 minimum for us this year.

<p> Apart from last season, isn't that how we start every year? Its just to make it even more painful im sure!

Someone from the ticket office said on CWR last night that 9000 had already been sold.

A lot of the similar clubs to us that fell down to the 3rd tier have won this & in many ways in symbolised their return back up the leagues.

Very true, but how many clubs of our size have stayed down here? I don't expect promotion this season, however I do expect it within 3 seasons.

I always thought a club had to give the FL assurances that they could fulfill the seasons fixture list. How are Pompey able to do that at the minute?

I think its just a bit of pointless bureaucracy from the League. As I understand it the penalty is on leaving admin, therefore they cant apply it till they actually do.

Interesting stat here. http://stats.football365.com/2012/ENG/D2/attend.html If attendances hold up to last years levels the Ricoh will be one of the fuller grounds.

From a purely selfish point of view, what will now happen to their parachute payments?

We started avoiding the rent payments in April, would that not have also been the time to start reviewing players contracts?

I dont have a problem with the players being told to take a cut, I think its only fair that they take their share of the blame. However I do have to question who gave the players these stupid contracts in the first place, and why was it not sorted sooner?

Appleton was believed to have been promised a budget of £4m for new player acquisitions in May, but that figure has now changed to around £1.5m I assume this means his wage budget rather than fees? If not even the idea of Pompey paying for players is a disgrace.

I don't really understand this 'when you can' bit. Surely Sisu's whole argument is that they cant afford to pay the rent, therefore pay it when you can means never!

Is this not a contradiction?

What happens now then if the club doesn't top up the deposit account?
