Perhaps its the times we live in. The truth appears to be, for many of them, an irrelevant distraction because for them "debate is framed largely by appeals to emotion disconnected from the details of policy, and by the repeated assertion of talking points to which factual rebuttals are ignored. Post-truth differs from traditional contesting and falsifying of truth by rendering it of "secondary" importance." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-truth_politics

Their kipper shed looks close to collapse under the weight of all that frustrated passion

Translation: 'The days of our being able to simply buy the cup with stolen money have gone for the time being, so will the FA kindly arrange for us to have nice easy cup ties so that we can cruise into the later stages of the competition, because the supermarket money has gone, we're now staring down the financial abyss again, and we need another cash cow'

Coffee over keyboard. Now I've got to disassemble it and clean everything. Thank you Notts County

A plucky point in prospect. Break out the open top bus

Being the bestest means never having to shut the f*ck up

Plymouth 1 - 0 Portsmouth

Why? because if they ever brought themselves to admit that their gamble backfired then they'd also have to accept they're out of the limelight for good and all

I'm sure pompey pravda will have nobhead neil rushing into print right away with a pullitzer-winning factual article which corrects that

OK I'll bite. Here's a starter for 10: Its a towering tale of illicit love, delusion, betrayal and shattered dreams set against the backdrop of A World Gone Mad! Experience the sweeping panorama of a lacklustre bombed out provincial port! Witness the epic struggle of the bestest to save their tatty tawdry tumbledown timber tabernacle acted out by a phew gaptoothy fishfolk who never boo their own!

That isn't just food. Thats food

They're playing Doncaster at home this afternoon. Come on you red and white Rovers

We'll see how sincere the NHWs are when the next meltdown comes and they realise they're about to lose their £££

If previous experience is any guide, I'm sure the hilarity will continue irrespective of whether they escape the Div.4 gravity well this time or not. Their Trump-like self delusion will see to that

Percy: Do not despair! For I have some small savings carefully harvested from my weekly allowance, set aside against my frail old age. By lucky haps, it is just over a thousand, methinks, and for years has been hidden beyond the wit of any thief, in an old sock... Percy and Blackadder: ...under the squeaky floorboard... Percy, Blackadder and Baldrick: ...behind the kitchen dresser. Percy: [smiles uneasily] You've seen it, then. Blackadder: Seen it, pinched it, spent it! And the same goes for the two farthings Baldrick thinks he's got hidden inside that mouldy potato. Baldrick: Oh, bloody hell!

"Possible explanations for the unwelcome stench included fertiliser and the sea air." Really? not Fartton Krap at all, then

Phew...

Well they are the bookies' favourite, and so they should be considering what they're spending compared with the budgets of their competitors in that league. On the other hand, if they bottle it *again* I'll probably never stop laughing

Pictures?

In any therapeutic conversation, the 'care receiver' has to be ready to hear difficult truths. And there's the problem.

At least they've saved themselves the embarrassment of another public meltdown in the wake of their latest defeat courtesy of mighty Yeovil

Full-time Yeovil 4 Pompey 3 I'm sure we'll be told they didn't want it anyway

And in other news, the Most Protestingest cut their nose off to spite their face: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/live/daily?1362810 "Tonight's clash will be lowly attended - rumours of 1,000 or so, which would represent a post-war low for Pompey in England"

Cook's strategic genius again: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/pompey/paul-cook-pompey-aren-t-firing-1-7549218 'He feels scoring goals in matches was the recurring theme to the Blues’ best home results. Cook said: ‘There are key points in games when you have to score. ‘We had some great wins at home last season and they all came off the back of us scoring'
