I note that Strachan was due to take over 'in the next 48 hours' back then. My watch now has a new face in order to incorporate said timeframe.

It's just being in the Premier. That's all. Guaranteed big income, exposure, and ego-satiating. We're crap and in Div 1. I'm afraid it's quite easy to read, this one.

I know. So annoying. Still, saw this on the Beeb: Portsmouth are expected to confirm Paul Hart as their permanent manager this week. (The Times) Hope so. Not a good player attractor.

The idea of the that big fat bellend Pompey supporter with the bell wearing a shirt with an anti-malnutrition message (new owner's pet concern) is actually quite funny. This fits with the Strachan to them move though and I really hope they don't have the last laugh.

Irish lot's green and green army.

Yes. I'd think he was a right berk. They will be in serious trouble next season. Unless of course they get someone like him, because all the big time charlies will be offski over the summer.

Ah! Galway. Marvellous place.

I'm guessing it didn't last as long either.

something will happen in the next 48 hours. I hope that's the last time I type that, even in jest. Think the worst - liquidation - and we'll all be pleasantly surprised. I hope. ENDGAME!

Is it more than a coincidence that tomorrow is payday?

Pivotal could still be bad news. Let's hope not.

Something will happen in the next 48 hours. As ever.

That's hilarious!! So he's Irish and therefore he's stupid!! Ha! Marvellous. Know any others?

Hey - top marks for 'oirish' stereotypes, chaps.

Sorry, trousers but you're wrong and he's right. Ps calm down everyone. It's not over yet.

No, I'm Eddie Murphy.

I'll get back to you in a couple of days on that one.

If it was anything like the player, it would have been a bloody slow one.

Tell him if he invests in us we'd be willing to play in green hoops, quite frankly.

Rod Sewart was due to stage a concert this summer at St Mary's. I suspect the rumour starts and ends there. However, I suppose it might just conceivably be him seriously bidding for the stadium as a concert venue, or indeed so he can get his concert on and make some money by leasing it to Saints. Just a weirdo left field idea. No facts...

You can get pills for that.

The respective noses of Mr Rodney Stewart and Mr Matthew Le Tissier would mean that any press conference announcing their takeover would need a very large venue.

You do if you usually wear glasses but have mislaid them.

would that be before or after Steve Bruce?

I note with some trepidation that in the picture on the link above Mr Fry is wearing a black tie as if someone or something has just died.
