great ball by puncheon

was that a nun in the crowd? Good omen.

Tarat should have scored waltzed through. Gazza then makes two mistakes...

curling cross for puncheon almost goes in, hits post

tremendous move, just over the bar from al

bright start by us

sloppy start by qpr

Been saying it for yonks that he's the best thing since slice bread. Adkins recognised he was a class act last season, that's why we worked so hard defensively to stop him. I would be highly surprised if we didn't enquire about his availability over the summer. Not surprised we didn't manage to get him though if £20m was the figure bandied about.

we'll be 2-0 down and come back to win 3-2. That kind if thing always happens when I miss a game.

now is the time to think positively. Plenty of time for recriminations afterwards. Huge game. I guess in a strange way its great that we have a huge game on our hands. Going to be tough. They looked OK in the last game. Big performance from all across the park needed.

trying to nutmeg opponents deep in our own half with no cover behind him is the one area of the game I'd like him to work on. And I don't mean more practice at it.

been a while since I've seen you post something this positive. Hope that is reflected in the result. COYR

who needs moderators.

that was yesterday, today is a new day.

good point and if I am being fair to Cortese, he is investing serious money (as Lowe did) in the academy, which hopefully will continue the hue income stream that has been so vital over the last ten years keeping us afloat. The £15m or whatever it is going to cost seems like a lot of money, but so long as the right staff (can we get Prost back) are in place it will be money well spent. Hopefully.

Starting price and reserve is very important. If you have an item that is pretty much guaranteed to sell and has lots of potential buys (think almost brand new ipad in perfect nick that someone could buy as a xmas gift) then you would be wise to start this at 99p and that way you will get a lot interest (watchers) and the final price tends to be higher. If you have an item that is very very specialist (say a door handle for an old car) then you may only have one realistic buyer out there so you don't want to start at 99p, you may want to start it at the minimum price you'd let it go for.

The £7m spent after the play off season killed us. We should have been tightening our belts but like you say we gambled on high wage earners that turned out to be ****e. All signings are a gamble I suppose. Most have worked out so far, that's why we have gone up, but lets hope this summers gamble pays off.

if you don't go to the game a defeat can actually be more painful than if you were there. If you are at the game you can at least find solace in the performance. Alpine doesn't have that hence it hurts even more. I may find that out today as despite having a ticket I'm stuck in bed with the flu. Grrrrr. Saints had better cheer me up.

Who the hell knows? Since Nik Nak took the reigns all I've seen is massive spending on wages and now transfer fees using Markus' money. On the income side I've seen nothing but a lot of penny pinching without a care in the world about customer satisfaction and the effect that has on future income. Let's see how we look should worse come to worse and we are relegated and the family isn't there to clear another £20m of debts. Let's see how the customer relations comes home to roost in terms of attendances on the way down rather than on the way up. Remember, Cortese' experience is on advising billionaires on which sports clubs might be worth buying. He has ZERO experience running a healthy business, especially one with multiple customers and a sizeable workforce. I don't for a second think we don't have the funds to pay the builder for the redecoration, but if we go down then paying Ramirez/Lallana/etc premiership wages for the next three years concerns me greatly. Relegation kills teams. Have we gambled on survival like we did on promotion during the wilde years?

is there any chance that these £1000s could end up being used to pay PKF fees?

who gives a ****? I mean there are plenty of other companies queuing up for corporate boxes now we are in the big time, why do we need to pander to these small time builders? Oh..

There might be a `they' in `they saved the club' but there certainly isn't a `their' in `their money saved the club'. Get it? No money from Cortese so stop posting statements like "they put their money where their mouths are". They were not a partnership. Cortese recommended the club to him. That was Cortese's job. He advised billionaires such as Markus on possible ventures. I thank him for spotting the value in our club. In fact I have no problem in Cortese being lauded for being instrumental in Markus coming here, but don't rewrite history. Cortese did not dip into his savings to save us any more than I did.

They? There was no `they'. It was Markus' money only. Cortese has not put one penny in. My only `agenda' can be summed up right there.

how did the surrounding land become part of this admin? I thought it was owned by CSI. Did the football club inherit it or Chinny?

I couldn't barely hear the questions/answers in the press conference. What was said about the voting power of the PST shareholders.
