    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Can't shake the feeling that Pompey will wriggle out of their obligations and the consequences of their appalling behaviour yet again. The FL seem to bend every rule to keep them competitive. They will pack Fratton Park tomorrow, sneak a win against Bournemouth. On the back of this bounce fans...

    Thanks for agreeing with my point, Nick... Thanks for ignoring it Richie.

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Would it not have been better to restrict the amount they can spend so that they can only afford to pay kids and non-league level wages? Why should they be allowed to spend decent money when they owe so much? Make them field kids and Div 6 types.

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Obita to Pompey Looks like Pompey will add him to the squad they are assembling. Rumours on Pompey sites. Baffling how the FL can allow this.

    Sammy Clingan

    I would have him back like a shot. However, he was scapegoated by our fans despite 1) being played out of position all year, he is not a holding midfielder. He is a right sided passer who moves the ball to others. He is not suited for the role he played as he is mobile but not a great tackler...

    Tonight at the ricoh

    On point number 5, was there a higher standard of hunks? As there is a disappointing surplus of beer bellies and baldies amongst the chaps in our usual crowd.

    Martin Cranie - Your thoughts

    The joke is half our fans could never spell his surname ... CRANIE If some helpful souls pointed out the error they were called spelling fascists, pedants etc. It actually isn't about spelling .. It's about SEEING.

    afonso alves

    Whoever these 2 turn out to be are likely to be a let down after all this feverish speculation. Still it's better than last summer's doom, gloom and MK fiasco.

    RIP Ernie Machin

    I, too am old enough to see many of his last few games in 1972. A true sky blue legend. RIP and condolences to his family. Can the Former Players Association make sure his passing is marked in some way.

    Todays Squad

    I doubt Brown has come to fill the bench. He will be centre half with Malaga, or midfield sitting deep. We may have another Keogh situation with him playing right back for much of the season, especially as I fear Clarke may attract a buyer.

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Am I right in thinking that their remaining contracted players become free agents in the event of the club being liquidated? If so why would clubs sign them now? Why not wait until the club go under? As others have said Pompey have brought this situation on themselves but the football...

    CET: Man Utd defender could come in, Richard Wood could go

    Sky blue kid, As you well know an argumentum ad populum is invalid. Just because most people share a view does not make it a fact. Also the assertion that most people share it lacks credible evidence. 99% thought the earth was flat ... In antiquity. Their evidence was flawed, and most just...

    CET: Man Utd defender could come in, Richard Wood could go

    Sky blue kid, If these are facts they cannot be disputed once they are supported with evidence. What you have there is a mixture of facts, opinions and prejudices.

    CET: Man Utd defender could come in, Richard Wood could go

    Non league, you make some excellent points there and could be spot on. However, I guess some of us expected the OUTs with only a few INs, with the youth team being first reserve. As it stands we can fill the team and bench without using the untried teenagers. Of course, once injuries set in it...

    Keogh says personal goodbye

    Spiteful and bearing no relation to reality. Let me guess, Keogh 10 and Sammy 3 in ratings whereas the neutral, unbiased observer would give Keogh 8 and Sammy 6 or 7. Many of our fans exaggerate how good their favourites are and how poor the ones they don't like are. Neutral observers will...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Brian Howard is one on trial, but thet cannot sign him as still under embargo. We should nip in and make him an offer with Keogh's freed up wages ... Before another club does.
