trousers Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 I thought people normally spit coffee out over the monitor when they read something funny on the internet. Not drop a mug of gravy on the keyboard, trousers you ****ing idiot! It's Bovril not gravy you ****ing buffoon!
dubai_phil Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 And we enter into page 1600 discussing why Trousers is pouring Bovril onto his keyboard Great
Matthew Le God Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Have we played this game before... Should this thread ever actually "end" and be moved to the Golden Threads forum. What would you like the final post to be before it is closed? Ideally it should be from Fitzhugh Fella as he started the thread and would bookend it nicely. Wittiest answer/picture/video wins a signed copy of MLG's attendance tables vol. 1 - 42.
eurosaint Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 The perfect gift for any Portsmouth child this Christmas. A calendar for 2013 with none of the players on it to be contracted to the club by the end of January... Am I right in thinking that 'August Skate' is actually wearing another teams shirt ? You can see the lady with legs akimbo on the side but from that angle, obviously not the Gobshyte logo, it just looks a different colour to me ! Might be wrong but I wouldn't put it past them to fill the space with a ringer !!

They had to cut back so much they have to use pictures taken by mobile phones for all their promo work & marketing. It's not their fault they still only have an old Nokia E51, it's all they found down the back of the sofa after AA sold everything 2 admins ago.

trousers Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Actually, that calendar could end up being quite a collector's item....a bit like King Edward VIII coronation mugs.....mugs being the operative word of course...
Matthew Le God Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 So long and thanks for all the fish. That links in nicely with the prize, cleverly done Andy.

OldNick Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Actually, that calendar could end up being quite a collector's item....a bit like King Edward VIII coronation mugs.....mugs being the operative word of course...Just to inform, King Edward VIII coronation mugs are not rare or that valuable. They are worth a bit more when they have the wording 'abdicated' on. ...but i get your drift
Big Bad Bob Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 I'm sorry to go OT but looking for "spitting over monitor images" I found the newest, bestest facepalm ever Ignore the words obviously
Matthew Le God Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 What's second prize....? One of these...
JackFrost Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 And we enter into page 1600 discussing why Trousers is pouring Bovril onto his keyboard Great Considering how many computer keyboards rallyboy has indirectly destroyed throughout this thread, I wouldn't mind betting computer keyboard production is one of the few growth industries right now. Of course we could be discussing far more interesting info right now

St Chalet Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Just when you think their marketing couldn't get any shabbier (don't give up the Day job Micah Hall, oops)..... On the calendar link I saw 'Wall of fame' http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/walloffame/
Gemmel Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 BID UPDATE FROM PST After a very busy few days we would like to provide our supporters with more information on last week's court case. The court action is between administrators PKF and Portpin. Whilst PST is obviously a very interested third party, we are not directly involved in the case. Therefore, it is impossible for us to provide full commentary, or reveal confidential information which has yet to be heard in court. This is a live court case and we are sure fans will understand why we cannot say anything at this stage which might adversely affect the outcome. Whilst it was very frustrating to be subject to a last-minute problem which was outside our control, we have used the last 48 hours to ensure our plans are flexible enough to accommodate different outcomes if we need to, in what the judge has described as a 'fluid' situation. We will update you further as soon as circumstances permit, but, for now, we can assure you of three things; 1. We have the funding to succeed, providing we continue to convert pledges. Our individual 'high net worth' investors have lodged a seven figure sum in escrow, and pledges are coming in ahead of target. And, of course, your money less the small administration fee will be returned if our bid is unsuccessful. 2. Our bid has the confidence of the administrators and the Football League. That has not changed. 3. We fully expect to be the next owners of PFC, and believe we will proceed with the purchase of the club in the next few weeks. We are extremely grateful to our 'Presidents' - the high net worth supporters of our bid who have funded the club in recent and future weeks whilst the court action takes place. Once again, Pompey fans have stood up to be counted to save the football club. They believe we will succeed, and so does every member of our bid and advisory teams. Nobody said this would be easy. Portpin, as the largest secured creditor, was never going to walk away quietly. We have a range of back-up options to deploy if any element of this complex project runs into problems. In the meantime, the PST team is working night and day to make sure we are ready to secure the future of our football club at the earliest opportunity. Your pledges, conversions and support take us a step closer every day to turning this club around. Thank you for your terrific support, and we promise to provide a fuller update as soon as we are able to.
Jimmy_D Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 If this thread ever does end (hah!) it should be FF bookending it and ending it with just a Spike Milligan misquote. 'I told you they were ill'
LGTL Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Another astonishingly insightful release from the PST. They've said loads without actually saying anything.
hutch Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 (edited) In other words "we've counted it again, and we still haven't got enough. But we really really do want to be fansontheboard". Edited 17 December, 2012 by hutch

Isn't that a bit like asking Ivan Ukhov to clear a height of 0.37m...?
benjii Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 "We have the funding to succeed, provided we continue to convert pledges" = "we don't have the funding yet so that's why the adjournment was actually a blessing in disguise as we were screwed if we'd got the green light but we're still screwed anyway as we are never going to raise enough money and our property developer super PFC fan mate has no money".
Saint in Paradise Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Surely even the dim down there will wait to see what happens with the Court before handing over their gift? Oh sorry a typo should read buy share not gift
Pamplemousse Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 MLG's getting some good bites on twitter CrossvaderDJ @CrossvaderDJ @MatthewLeGod I suggest you have a read of the Trusts' prospectus when all details are divulged. Might give you lot a heads-up for ur club.
Pamplemousse Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Neil Allen @pn_neil_allen Been deep in #Pompey penalty research today. Anyone recall if Halford ever missed a penalty? And was Brighton Lawrence’s only miss? So the world's bestest journalist, despite having done 'research' all day, still has to ask his followers to help him out Perhaps MLG can help with his queries
dubai_phil Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 .... We have a range of back-up options to deploy if any element of this complex project runs into problems. Ah, that's lucky. They still have a range of cunning plans to deploy. That will make Oldnick rest easier. Clearly the team that came up with the Santa suits have been on the ideas juice again. Can't wait
Gemmel Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 SulaimanAlfahim UAE @TheRealSulaiman does #Pompey fans know how much the administrators and lawyers have charges so far? Its almost £4m !! Who will be willing to pay this fees!?
pedg Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Neil Allen @pn_neil_allen Been deep in #Pompey penalty research today. Still -10 Neil..
aintforever Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 1. We have the funding to succeed, providing we continue to convert pledges. I would have thought most willing to chuck a grand in the bucket would have done it by now. Waiting until after a court case that could have got them liquidated seems an odd strategy for a potential 'investor'. They are obviously way short of their target so they've delayed the court case while they beg to the rich skates and try to re-arrange the terms with the property developer.

A calendar for 2013 with none of the players on it to be contracted to the club by the end of January... Fair enough though...apparently the calendar only goes up to January 15th...
waggy Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 That is another very good entry to the competition. Plus, we already know Spike Milligan didn't like Portsmouth... Cheers MLG, just spilt half my snake bite, absolute bloody classic :0)
Weston Super Saint Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 Are we sure that's really a calendar? I have my suspicions that it might actually be an elaborate betting ring, highlighting which months the players are expected to bugger off and get a job elsewhere.
Chez Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 I don't recognise any of the players in the calender. That makes me smile.
toofarnorth Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 I see conservative MPs are calling for an enquiry about how the Comet collapse will cost the taxpayer £50m. I remember another conservative MP not giving a **** about a certain other organisation screwing taxpayers out of a lot more.
carljack Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 I don't recognise any of the players in the calender. That makes me smile. most of the players dont recognize their teamates on the calender either,this is also funny.
Pedro Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 I see conservative MPs are calling for an enquiry about how the Comet collapse will cost the taxpayer £50m. I remember another conservative MP not giving a **** about a certain other organisation screwing taxpayers out of a lot more. I heard that and thought that at least Comet were a national company with those losses and not a small regional island that has screwed HMRC.
trousers Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 @pn_neil_allen: Emotional & touching words from Gyepes in tomorrow's paper on why he could quit #Pompey as he misses family in Hungary. Wonderful honesty.

los_saint Posted 17 December, 2012 Posted 17 December, 2012 "A torch shone amid the Fratton Park smog which continues to engulf relentlessly all in its path." This is comical but also quite odd.

The one sentence paragraphs are bad enough, but the actual written prose is so poorly executed. And how seriously does Neil Allen take himself??!! Really, really bad writing.

Also, how most of his sentenceparagraphs are so poorly written and full of bullcräp.

The one sentence paragraphs are bad enough, but the actual written prose is so poorly executed. And how seriously does Neil Allen take himself??!! Really, really bad writing. I got this far before becoming unable to continue due to laughing too much: "a fleeting moment which would serve as a microcosm of Pompey’s week" - According to Wikipedia, 'Microcosm, how a large world/society can be illustrated in the form of a small world (as opposed to a macrocosm)' - a moment in time cannot be any kind of society "The optimism was immense" - According to the OED, 'optimism' is a noun indicating a particular doctrine, view or belief. To my knowledge, one cannnot have an 'immense' doctrine, view or belief Legend.
