Nah, it sounds like a 19th c opera chorus, which is when it was written. Here with the words...

"I can firmly put my tail between my legs and back off slightly and not put my foot in it". That whole report explains a lot. There we were giving Appleton a hard time as someone infected by the Pompey bug, but I feel a bit more sympathetic now. That was a difficult admission to make and he deserves some respect for it. Perhaps he should have listened to the Baggies director who advised him not to go. Not sure where it leaves Lumpitt..

The above AA quote is a bit odd. Surely he was CSI's administrator and his responsibility was to them? If he was favouring one of their subsidiaries one would have to ask why. As so often in this affair, more questions than answers. There are enough potential truths in this account to give some aspects credence (at least in the context of Pompey!), but the figures don't add up, and I still wouldn't buy a used phone from this guy, let alone a car or a football club.

Heehhe. It frankly doesn't matter to us which money-laundering loan-shark you end up with. If it hadn't been Chanrai it would have been somebody else on the list.. "Hopefully". My gawd, that's clutching at straws regarding the £17m. Plus you are charmingly ignoring all the other creditors, including small organisations who will find their losses difficult to bear, and the taxpayer where, admittedly those millions will be lost in the wash. Your attitude stinks, although that might be because you haven't changed your incontinence pads recently...

Good grief, it's been us that have told you each time as a new chancer has come along. Why do you think we find it so amusing; everything that's happened has been so predictable. To many denials each time it's been said, and many denials of the fact that you were trading insolvently. You've spectacularly missed the whole point of this thread.

Haahhhaaa. Just been reading the Guardian: "The appointment of Trevor Birch as the administrator of Portsmouth is facing a further challenge from other accountants who claim he should not have been given the role due to a conflict of interest." Conflict of interest! Guess who is challenging him. No, really, guess! Mad cackle at Sue Towers here as I read the article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/feb/20/portsmouth-administrator-conflict

Requins=sharks surely?? You should here the strange dialect of French they speak this Italian side of the border. Well actually the true local language is francoprovençâl [arpetan or patoué]. I can probably understand about 25% of it, but get the gist of most conversations!

Anderlecht: went on my own courtesy of a priv flight from dad. Great day out, museums, the match [Osgood!],Robbie Resenbrink (IIRC) and er...the beer (did I say chocolate?) . Bloomin' Chanson d'Amour... Wham away a few years ago: 2-2 and our car load took our chance on home tickets and all got split up. The guy I was next to sussed me and we had a chat: "Good player, that Le Tissier". Another friend was sworn at by a little kid. "Shut up, you little squirt". Big fat mum and dad "Don't you ****ing swear at our kid. Look, there's Southampton supporters here". The other Wham fans, bless 'em, just looked acutely embarassed. Orient away in 1978: on the basis that I can't remember anything. Was it Sealey or Funnell? Doesn't matter now... Does 1976 count?;-)

Ooh, regardes-elle avec les accents!

Either way, I've just been watching whilst my dinner cooks, and I have to say it was a real pleasure, particularly goals 3 and 4.:-) Now we've just got to get Sharp to break his duck properly and teams won't know which way to turn. Did you notice the Derby defenders after those goal? Looking every which way!

je crois que nous devons insister sur regle une: photo, s'il vous plait...

Another ex-regular here (at least on match days). I remember it from Mike Hendricks days but popped in at the beginning of this season. The garden is always popular at the start and end of season, and then there was the Myra Hindley suite (so called)..

It goes without saying that Lee would be having English lessons, but the difference between the two languages is somewhat more than that between English and German/Italian/French etc. When I was in the UK I offered my services as an EFL teacher to Saints, but there's already a tie-up with someone. Shame, I could have had a few practical lessons at Staplewood: "ping the ball!"... At St Mary's another EFL teacher occasionally sat next to me, and he'd taught in Japan. I've only taught a few Japanese/Korean students in the UK but they are certainly different from European students.

Ils sont fous, cettes anglaise..

I assumed he was!

I haven't had a TV since 1988 when my B&W one went phut. Now I'm in Italy even less incentive to have a TV: from what I've seen of it it is seriously crap. But when I was still in the UK it was tiresome to get all the automatic letters, which stopped when I invoiced them for my time in replying to them. I think I made my point. Actually, when I move back at some time it will be quite fun to resume the baiting.

The club could have a nice little revenue stream from all the Japanese fans paying for Saintsplayer to watch the videos. Perhaps he should mention it on his blog! I'm personally looking forward to the "From all angles " from the Derby game.

Just been looking at the table - our goal difference could be valuable in a tight table. But we're going up automatically though, but it's nice to have.;-)

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
