FFS Why don't we practice them on the training ground?

They don't have toilets in Pompey - when at St Marys Westwood used his seat instead for example.

Must be my turn now? Can't really believe it but I'm now 64. Lived in various places around and about Hampshire but moved to Wareham in Dorset 6 years ago when I retired early. Been a Saints fan since I was four when I used to cut the photos out of the Football Echo! My dad took me to my first game when I was 11 - at the Dell of course: Norwich evening match 2-2. Tommy Traynor was the first Saints player I saw in the flesh and Derek Reeves scored the first goal I ever saw. First away game was the FA Cup replay with Notts Forest at White Hart Lane, early 1963? We won 5-0 (or was it 5-1?). We were delayed in heavy traffic and we were already three up when we arrived! Favourite Saints player of all time - there's (was) only one Micky Channon!"

He is also a pro footballer without a club because he has left Rangers today! What should he do, listen to offers from other clubs or wait and see if Rangers bent and twisted past can be sorted out and then hope to go back there?

What a wonderful forward line that was: Sydenham Mulgrew 100 (330) Reeves 173 (311) O'Brien 180 (281) Paine 187 (815) 640 goals between them plus the few scored by Syd; Syd sure made a lot for the other the others though. Surprised George O'Brien played less games for us that Dereck Reeves. We'll not see the likes again!

Appleton added: ‘Probably, some clubs won’t do business with us. ‘Their concern will be financial and whether we can actually pay for the players who are coming out of their club. ‘I can understand that in a way.’

Bl00dy hell! Poor bu66ers! What a choice! Death by liquidation or suffocation by Chanrai. I think I am weakening and feeling sorry for them. Help me somebody!

I think I am on to something ... Realties Mitts Corporation is an anagram of 'Procrastinate Miser Loo Tit' so they are being taken over by someone who just wants to delay the inevitable liquidation but is not willing to part with any money and is a tit who spends much of his life in the loo. In other words Balloo is definitely getting involved again to stave off the end game and to get those loos fixed at the packed park. He surely would be a tit to do that wouldn't he?

Realities Mitts is an anagram of 'Testes Limit Ira' so does that mean the IRA are taking them over or is that a load of balls?

Now that really is a bomb shell surely?????? Toast it is then ....

Of course he was sacked. He is not needed now, the administrators are in charge and getting rid of expensive executives is always the starting point. IF new owners are found they will want their own people in charge anyway.

Please don't ask difficult questions ...

I love also the quote from Appy at the end: Portsmouth boss Michael Appleton said: 'I spoke to him (Trevor Birch) this morning and it was quite positive from my point of view, because he said that the first thing he would be addressing was to make sure we had more players in the building. 'I'm not sure how he's going to do that,' Easy mate, I can tell you how he ought to do it, He is going to open the door and call in the kids training in the car park and say 'Come in to the building lads I want to talk to you!'

Oh what a perfect day, and on my birthday too! Saints big win, Pimpley lose and 3 points adrift of safety, Cardiff thrashed too ... wonderful!

I guess this is difficult because we are not party to the governing documents but it is my understanding, and I am happy to be wrong, that if PFC was a stand alone limited company with shares then, yes, the shares would be worthless and the administrators would be in control just as they are at CSI under AA. However, PFC was not independent and is part of CSI so I imagine as the administrators are in control of CSI assets and they are 'owners' of PFC. As with everything at PFC nothing is straight forward. I still say PFC fans should be wary of the wounded lion licking his wounds and looking for his meal!

I agree Mike, there is much rejoicing down the road that they have rid themselves of BC and AA but of course they have not. PFC is a wholly owned subsidiary of CSI and CSI is admin under the control of AA and owing, it is believed, £17m to BC. CSI has no other meaningful assets so BC can only recover his money from CSI if AA can sell PFC or if TB can find a buyer that AA agrees to sell to! AA can veto any sale TB wants and can enforce any sale that TB does not want. TB cannot sell what is not his to sell! If TB can cut costs to a point where PFC is of a sustainable size and structure that its 12k gates can support, presumably in L1, and get the main creditors paid off, or at least satisfied, then PFC can exit administration but they will still be a wholly owned subsidiary of CSI under the control of AA! AA can now let TB do the hard work for him so that he and BC can the profit from it. I am sure this was not BC's preferred scenario but one he will happily go along with if TB looks like delivering the goods. BC still can't really lose. If TB turns PFC round and it makes a profit (!!!!) then the profits go to the owners, CSI, who can replay BC. That is more likely to happen than profits being re-invested in PFC. If TB finds a buyer, the proceeds go to CSI who pay off BC. If PFC cannot be rescued and is liquidated then BC has ownership of Farton and if there was anything left over from the liquidation it will go to the owners CSI who can use to pay BC! So, to all those PFC 'fans' celebrating a victory today, I would say remember celebrating your cup final win? Well, enjoy it now because BC is still there and still wants his money and one way or another he will get it. The added problem now is that the lion is injured and is therefore even more dangerous.

Insurance only works if you pay the premiums!

They are angling for a postponement of the Barnsley game aren't they? "Can't bring in any loans and all our team are injured - give us a break and postpone the game. If they all had flu you would let us do it. Come on, postpone the game." If they can't afford the bus to Barnsley how can they play the game? But not to pay the game without prior FL approval would have a mega-impact ...

But can they do that? Do they actually OWN the car park at Fartton?

Stats show we have had 64% of possession! I guess that is because wham just boot it up the park when they have it?

A senior citizen is someone who was here before; the pill, computers, mobile phones, iPods, frozen foods, contact lenses, credit cards and before man walked on the moon. For us, 'Time Sharing' means togetherness not holiday homes, and a chip is a piece of wood. Hardware meant nuts and bolts and software was not even a word! We got married first and then lived together and thought cleavage was something butchers did. A stud was something that fastened a collar to a shirt and going all the way meant staying on the bus as far as the terminus. Being gay meant being brightly dressed or happy. We thought fast food was something you ate in lent and a big mac was an oversized rain coat. Crumpets were something we had for tea. In our day; grass was mown, pot was used for cooking, coke was kept in the coal shed and a joint was cooked on Sundays! How times have changed ...

Hey Ho ... some more questions for you, not for you to answer but to avoid like many others. You are very keen to try and draw parallels between our two financial states after our respective relegations from the Prem and subsequent administrations; now remind me ... how much did you lot get in parachute payments? How much did we get in parachute payments? What was you level of debt? What was our level of debt? With those four figures written down on a piece of paper, just sit and look at them for a while then dare to come back on here and try and tell us that you are no worse than we were. Better still, just don't bother to come back!

Unpaid income tax and VAT; Your bank account is in a freeze; Can't pay the wages any more Coz there's a tax man at your door! Saying Pay up Pompey Or we'll wind up Pompey. Good bye you cheats, it's so sweat. Good bye you cheats, it so sweat ....

HMRC will NOT apply to put them into admin, they are applying for winding up, liquidation. Add to that AA has said "administration is the last thing they would consider" so it is sell or liquidate as far as CSI are concerned. It is up to Lampitt to come up with a strategy to avoid the threats of liquidation by getting cash in from somewhere to meet the outgoings and immediately due debts. Enter the FL with a sub until 'pay day'!

OK! I'll try again. Gosh! You make Rosie sound like a real b1tch!
