I give you guys the feed line and you don't disappoint! It's just that hard-core and scrap steel aren't worth too much, the shredders and PCs are leased, and how much is land worth in Fratton anyway? Obviously anything would be better than an under-used and, when occupied, half-empty football ground. I was just wondering about the arithmetic, to be honest; and how clear the title to the land was!

It must be me age or maybe 38000k posts are confusing me but can somebody remind me what assets the debt is secured against?

Well, it's been in my diary for a long time but unfortunately teaching isn't too flexible on dates and part-time it certainly doesn't pay enough for current flight prices: I certainly checked! Now when are the first Championship games next season....

Couldn't you do a pub crawl of all four corners?

I hope they're rude to you too! One thing they have here are speed controlled traffic lights, but given you haven't got a lower speed limit it'd be difficult to get it installed.

Could somebody who is registered on their board (I can't be arsed) point out that we take more to Hartlepool on a mid-week winter evening..or that today's away showing is probably the smallest we've had all season... Ta.

PS: those bottles were shared with the locals - I didn't drink them all myself. Impressed they were too with me English wines!

Welll, it's 3 in the morning here and I'm just back in after going out at 6.15 my time for an evening apperitivo - which seems to have dragged on a bit what with the drinking (including two bottles of English wine for my birthday & St George's), eating (er... nibbles really), singing and dancing. Still big grin time. What makes me laugh in that photo above is the amount of money they must have spent on such a professionally produced banner. It's not going to get that much use, I'd reckon. What do you think?

What they mustn't do.... aargh.

One way of winning I suppose, bore the opposition to sleep. Jeez, these guys are professionals and doing something we'd be embarassed about in lower level amateur women's football.

Just turned on. Sounds like the cricket...

Made him into a speed bump? Any practical measure you could take to slow the traffic down? A couple of old bangers strategically parked, for example?

I'm not normally one for being rude, being nicely brought up etc., but b******s. For the first n. thousand posts there were chuckles but sympathy for the club. There is still sympathy for Mack, Mero and the like, but so much has come out about how the club and the fans have taken the mickey that any original sympathy has disappeared. We're not the ones in a hole and still digging: that's why _our) attitudes have hardened towards them. Sorry, think you're wrong on this one.

Socal saint's compromise is one I'd been thinking of myself. It's not the last game of the season and we are still fighting for 2nd, why defer before the matcn. Beat them and then clap them off - a great compromise.

Guard of honour? Mmmm, I love lamb.

Some years ago the last game of the season at westam was ostensibly sold out and all ticket. Off we went as a carload and all got in, in various seats, to see the 3-3 draw. A few amusing experiences and some craic with a few neighbours who realised - "your LeTissier is really good" sort of thing. They aren't going to tell you tickets are available, but being discreet it's highly likely they will be...

My thought was, did she spit [down the loo] or did she swallow.:-) Either way I think the guy's learnt a lesson, and I have to say that I've only ever heard it done when the guy was a complete barsteward, and deserved it.

The difference being that, unlike gold, those assets used to produce a return. I do wonder about Cameron: he goes on and on about all our debt, which we can sustain and which is at a lower level than many countries. I've got no issue with trying to get it down eventually. But does he really want us to have a proper crisis and have to pay more for servicing our bonds because that's what it looks like from all his negative rhetoric.

Don't you start again!;-)

No, I am cover for Pulis. Sorry, wrong film...

Ooh yes! Nice stadium as it looks, it doesn't look very um... expandable. Frankly I wouldn't want padded seats and polished floors if that were reflected in the ticket prices. Perhaps they want to price out the Whitehawk mob and just get the London-by-the-Sea types?

Thanks euro - nice to have a reminder of the debt too: £20m + £17m, and would that still include renting part of the ground from Gaydy? As ever, why Portsmouth? You could pick up a decent club with a decent ground and more support for half that..

Oi, stop confusing us, or change your name!;-)

Never make assumptions where Saints are concerned!

Phew!
