The9

Didn't do Newcastle, West Brom or Sunderland any harm in the past 6 years.

That's because we currently have a 0.2% chance of relegation. Newcastle 4.3% Norwich 6.4% Sunderland 6.5% Stoke 9.8% Villa 28.5% Wigan 45.2% Reading and QPR 99.5% each. http://www.sportsclubstats.com/England/Premier.html

12.3 Sporting Sanctions. Been posted below but pretty sure it's irrelevant anyway : http://www.football-league.co.uk/regulations/20120702/section-3-the-league_2293633_2125717

With a decent goalkeeper that side would be play-off contenders at least in League One. Does lack Lambert, Lallana and Fonte from the side we went up with though which is a pretty good spine to have missing, so they might be nearer our position in 2010 rather than 2011.

You are incorrect. I'd definitely go, but I'd rather I went to see a Saints side I didn't think was compromising our league success just by being there. That only applies to next season and the Europa League, if we continue to improve as we have, and qualify as a Cup winner or via the League, I think we could sustain squad growth and 2 campaigns by 2014/15. Just not next season for now. We're 7 points above relegation, it wouldn't take many injuries to have dropped us back down there and we've had remarkably few this season.

Oh yeah, and Chelsea. Which is basically a plain blue version of the Toronto/Bayern away shirt. Quite like the socks and GK kit though :

Nicely done.

Basically the first 3 here show the 3 basic adidas templates for 2013/14 (ignoring the print on the front of the Toronto shirt) :

Time for a recap... I'm just going to do the adidas kits, based on doggface's info alone...

We couldn't look more like Liverpool if we tried, if we had a red version of that. I am mildly amused that BOTH the Chelsea "leaks" turned out to be fakes though.

I completely disagree with everything you have said.

If you did it now, I reckon you'd be at least 2 months late to influence the decision.

I just don't know why people give a shiny poop about where the people who score goals in the Prem come from, to be honest. I could probably produce a league table only containing goals scored by people in last season's boots, but frankly who would care, and why should it have any relevance ? PS Man U would be top.

Just decided to quote this for some context.

Or Hammond could cover Shaw at left back ?

Maybe he could get back in the France squad if we brought him back ?

How far behind Spurs are we if you count British players ?

And you.

Yeah but seriously, thanks for quoting the enormous bloody image for no apparent reason.

Fab.

Assuming that was the beardy goalie I scored past twice, he's living in Australia now, though he did put in an appearance at Worldnet last year. Is he still Banana Factor on here ?

I still think it's irrelevant, as it only applies to clubs being penalised -10 for going INTO administration when they come out of administration. This punishment is not for that and the dates mentioned don't apply.

Dunno why MLG feels the need to question whether there's been an insolvency event, that's covered by the first line from when they originally went into admin, this is all part of the same process. What I have just found though, is the FL's statement on the points deduction from 2012 which says explicitly that in order to play in the League in 2012/13 they MUST receive a -10 deduction in the 2012/13 season : http://www.football-league.co.uk/footballleaguenews/20120712/league-board-makes-membership-offer-to-portsmouth_2293334_2847729 So if anything, the FL will issue an ineffective (but mandated) -10 for THIS season, and then may well tell them they need to accept another deduction for next season in accordance with the need to ensure they actually get punished in order to achieve these stated goals : Seems the only way to go to me. They have explicitly stated that Portsmouth will get a deduction this season, and that they need to maintain these regulations as a deterrent. Then again, they have also said here : http://www.football-league.co.uk/footballleaguenews/20121210/league-board-considers-pst-proposal_2293334_3002405 which sounds a little like a backtrack on the definite 2012/13 deduction if anything, as it doesn't state 12/13 any more.

S'okay, only took me 10 minutes. I like that he's got man-boobs and a skintight shirt.

You chose a bad week, I was in New York, having a life. I like to mention that to bug the Turk.
