    Is that a euphemism?

    SISU Finances explained

    Hmmm. Unfortunately I think they may have a point there. Morally their case is flawed, but legally they seldom lose. If it is true, as has been claimed, that they are deliberately setting out to kill ACL and pick up the land for a song, then they will have obtained a valuable asset for the...

    SISU Finances explained

    1 How is this relevant? The question is SISU's behaviour, not AE Higgs. 2 Maybe they see it as an investment in property that will provide relatively low risk high returns to optimise the use of their capital 3 Why are you trying the cloud the issue?

    SISU Finances explained

    Katzenjammer I don't think you have read the article thoroughly. They have not put anywhere near as much money in as they have claimed. For me, it's not about the team, it's about honesty, integrity and a realistic business plan. This article implies they have none of the above. Just stop...

    SISU Finances explained

    This is a very thorough investigation into SISU's financial management of the club. It highlights what a bunch of charlatans we have as owners. http://aprisonofmeasuredtime.wordpress.com/ I know nothing abut the writer, but isn't this exactly the kind of thing the useless hacks at the CET...

    Define Middle Class - dunno. don't know how to define working class either, except I used to think I was the latter and now I think I am the former. I read a definition the other day that had if you read novels you are middle class. But I don't think my problem is with class at all. It's more...

    Cov fans fighting eachother

    I did not say that I look down on the working class, and neither do I. I said I was middle class - that is not the same thing. I look down at those who show no respect for anybody else. I look down on people who's first reaction when they score is to be aggressive and sneering toward the...

    Cov fans fighting eachother

    I seldom go to a game - I stopped when we bought Marlon King. I went to Pompey though - first return since the recidivist arrived. Whilst there were no fisticuffs per se, there was plenty of aggressive gesturing. In particular I recall one Portsmouth fan whose first reaction to scoring was to...

    Great stuff and very practical. I have also come up with a list of equities I would have bought and sold this year.

    Mmmm Miss Fortune. Sounds like a very lucky lady.

    Councillor Kevin Maton

    Kevin Maton has been a member of the Labour party for 32 years. Is it any wonder that he does not agree with private ownership? Jeez.

    Coventry vs Doncaster match thread

    If we play like we did at Pompey we'll be lucky to get nil.

    Maybe we should follow Cardiff's lead?

    Yep, that's the reason. It's not the leaching of the club's money by some directors. It's not the mismanagement of the club since we fell from the Premiership. It's not the lack of money. It's not the ownership by a firm that's whole raison d'etre is to get financial returns greater than...

    Take me home, Highfield Road...

    Bigger does not equal better. Modern does not equal better. Sterile does not equal better. Highfield Road was a fine stadium - it was classy; it had atmosphere. The goals and drama and personalities from 106 years of football had seeped into the fabric and hugged each game. The Ricoh is a...

    Take me home, Highfield Road...

    I welled up a bit when the crowd sang this today. I love Fratton Park, reminds me of Highfield Road. It was a dreadful decision to leave, it really was. And where is Richardson now, does he even look out for the results each week? I don't know how he sleeps.

    That's it I'm done

    I decided to stop going when we bought King. I went to my first match today since then. I still want the club to do well, but it's too depressing to go all the time.

    Portsmouth Match thread

    Broadly agree. I think there was some contact on Eastwood and he certainly fell badly - but I don't think there was any intent from Wilson. That new left back is poor, and McDonald is not a lone striker - he clearly needs to play off a big guy who can hold it up and nod it on. Jutkiewicz and...
