Ooh, thanks, hadn't even considered that..

The thing that struck me was that Liverpool were bullying us physically. Not surprising given the experience and age of many of their players compared to ours. Uncomfortable watching and it's a relief we're only 1 down.

Hmmm. Crap economy and getting worse, poor crowds, poor (and dishonest) clubs, many Ultra fans are criminal c****. Food's good but oh for a bit of variety occasionally, and the meat is definitely better in the UK and Uruguay. As for women, difficult for me to comment, but after a certain age they aren't herociously fit, although there is a section of the local state A road where I've been told you can find a few um.. heroes. On the way to our last away game there was a stretch of road over about 1 to 2 k where there were 5 or 6 ladies with short skirts waiting for er... buses. The weather was also cold and damp so, Blakey, I'd be a bit more realistic! :-) But like everywhere, there are always positives and negatives. Content free journalism: it's a great job to have.

Possibly not. I'm a real veteran and was slightly surprised to have to play 90 minutes + extra time for my team last Sunday,, but when I was younger I often used to suffer from cramp. Perhaps I'm just fitter now!?

Cheers Tokyo!:-) I've quietly ignored the offer... I've seen others of Turkish's posts, to be honest, and sometimes they're sensible. That one wasn't one of them.. Why does he keep on reminding people I have/had him on ignore?

OI! Less of the old.;-) It's disturbing to say I remember them!

What about those t-shirts you were getting? Needed for this event and Trousers wants one for his early morning commute..:-) Now that Appy's gone I suppose the design will need updating... better make it future-proofed in view of all the uncertainty. "Portsmouth FC: Liquidation Specialists" - that should do it..

Thought I'd have a brief look at the AV-Rdg stream. You're not wrong, it's absolutely dire..

Welll... last time I was at the High Court to see Pompey I had a couple of pints at The Olde Cheshire Cheese (IIRC). Couldn't get into the court: it was more packed than a park, so did a bit of eavesdropping in the waiting room outside and even heard AA schmoozing the Pompey fans. Then off to the British Museum etc. for a good day out in the smoke...

Just watched MOTD on a stream... well... That was impressive and fun to watch! Should be a very good crowd for Wednesday and hopefully a stream too.

Probably not, actually. It'll be trampled to f**k!

I always thought it was about what he takes out of the game.

Is it safe to come back to this thread yet? Yep, Italians are generally good communicators! I used to teach a variety of different nationalities in the UK but have to admit once on the phone I almost gave up on a Liverpudlian call centre worker he was so difficult to understand. I don't think Barry is from the 'pool though...

Done my lesson and you're still at it!

FFS, it's like a starving dog with a bone. I won't comment further as I have to give an English lesson at half past.

I'd second TuneIn radio, and after that depends on your interests. I have absolutely no interest in games, but have bits and pieces like train times, tube map, snow reports etc. Pocket recorder might be useful and there are various reminder (ToDo)and note taking apps. Let us know what you're interested in and other people will then be able to suggest apps. Personally I haven't got much of a clue as it's my first smartphone (a cheap Samsung Windows one that does everything I bought it for).

I'd say it's more like they're argueing what tune to play, then in what key, who'll set the tempo....

For some imaginative ways of dealing with the thieves the commenters on this blog have some good ideas: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/bike-blog/2012/nov/19/cyclists-police-bike-theft?INTCMP=SRCH People get very upset about their bikes. I had one pinched from outside a sports centre and was probably more upset than when my old car got nicked from a lock-up. First thing I knew of that was the police knocking on my door at 5 in the morning asking if I knew where my car was... The WPC said you "don't seem too upset". It's a second-hand car FFS, 5 in the morning and it's insured... It had been used in a post office robbery up in the downs behind Portsmouth. Recovered in Portswood with damage to a wing, ho hum.

They're Losing Again

Well, as long as he knows we'd love to see him....

Anybody going from the Thames Valley area, more specifically Maidenhead. I won't have a hire car this year and I don't think there's any public transport. Share expenses etc. natch..

Another question. When it all goes tits up, what do the HNW people get out of it? Are they hoping the last parachute payment covers them so that they at least break even, or what? With such a recipe for disaster they must have done some contingency planning...? OK, more than one question, but that's what this whole thread is about: unanswered questions!

Watching the highlights you can also hear the shout "Ricky", so he was actually doing it to order as well!

If you don't know the tune, here it is. Liverpool accent and all, so perfect!
