For Pompey, it's about setting sights higher and higher - getting those all-important goals, match after match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before, it would have been incredibly embarrassing if the Premier League had a club in it that went bust. They were never going to allow it to happen. As for non-league, no embarrassment there. No spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 21 December, 2014 Share Posted 21 December, 2014 My bizarre life took me to a restaurant the other night and who was there but Mr Catlin and one of his friends, a senior partner at pompey's legal firm. I make no judgement, they are obviously buddies beyond business - so it's just an observation, and an insight into what I get up to after dark. There were several pix up on the wall, one of David Cameron, and one of the glorious FA Cup 'win'... Though I was slightly taken back when Catlin ordered everything off the menu, asked to pay just a fifth of the bill and eventually just paid 1% of the price for one garlic bread while expecting the rest of the kitchen and waiting staff to pick up the tab.* *I made up some of the last bit.
