I believe it to be one less relegation place, i.e. two down from the PL but keeping three up which would cascade down the league.

We are a league one side with plenty of endeavour and I think if we had scored first then the scoreline would have been much closer, even in our favour. Grant played a great tactical game to soak up the pressure and counter attack. At half-time with the scores level I thought we'd lose considering the effort the players had put in we'd tire especially the midfield. I doubt Birmingham will be so naive and perhaps O'Hara will be contained better but you never know in the cup. As for the league, you need wins. Only scoring 20 in 25 games ain't going to help that cause especially when teams can sit back and counter as you did to us even if if it's for a draw and a point. It's tough being a fan with undivided loyalty, but surely there is a line that has been crossed that should have tested that loyalty a bit harder than being a bit unhappy. It can happen, just think AFC dons and FC united, also plenty of loyal Citeh fans were not renewing ST while human rights breaker Thaksin was owner.

Is the club really bluffing with such a weak hand or is there something more devious afoot? To go down the liquation route seems high risk if they really want to save the club. If the club is liquidated, I don't think the £27m will be forthcoming from the FA, hence the latest effort to get a least some of it before the club goes puff.

I can hear it now... "there's only one Storrie Teller, one Stor-rie Tell-er, etc"

They can lose a footy match to us ;-) The court hasn't imposed anything nor the PL (apart from signing only frees) so I would assume it's business as normal down the road, so that could mean anything from other creditors wanting to join the party to them signing players!

Just catching up on the posts and this caught the eye. It certainly sounds a good plan but do you think it's doable to arrange all this in seven days with all the creditors involved? Doesn't HMRC want payment in full now? They have to produce a statement of affairs in that time and I would LOVE to know how different it is to the one they gave the PL a month ago.

I wish they used a different sound for the official updates so I can do something else rather than keep flicking back to see the drivel from the skates, I've wasted hours!

I've sent in two but no replies yet. Interesting he says the Prince buyout link is genuine.... !!!

I think foreign loans are counted differently to domestic ones. If they were all of the latter, they would be in trouble.

Mine were almost poles apart, a conscientious objector who worked on a farm and the other in army intelligence.

From the beeb: Fabio Capello, you might want to look away now. Nani cuts in from the left and after 27 lollipops he fires it across the six-yard box, it deflects off Anthony vanden Borre and David James falls over in instalments, the wrong way, and can only watch aghast as the ball rolls slowly into the net. It's a horrible goal to watch and can only happen when you're bottom of the league.

What's gone wrong at Skatesville article by David Conn: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/feb/05/portsmouth-balram-chainrai-sacha-gaydamak interesting that the amount owed to Gaydamak is mostly the Standard Bank loan his trust took on.

I think they updated the title and sub-title to express the denial. Also, looking at some skate forums, they are hoping for 3 points from the FA because of Shorey, who played against them had already played for two teams this season: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1248600/Fulhams-Nicky-Shorey-FIFA-probe-playing-club-season.html

The Pacific was written by the same guys as BoB and it is suppose to be just as good. Release date is 14th March, although that may be US only. Last good brit TV was the State of Play thriller with John Sim and Bill Nighy.

The page has got "Sorry we cannot retrieve this story." for me :-(

Al Fahim, sporting a blue outfit, is hopefully that some investment may come his way down at Unit 1

Why now? Investment would only secure the survival of the club and the £60m debt but not their PL status. If true, he's either likes playing russian roulette with his money or is playing Brewster's millions.

Once there was a skate and his name was Peter Storrie, He wasn't much to look at, with his plain grey scales. But Storrie was a fish with a big imagination, He blew small bubbles but he told tall tales.

TDD, I think you're being optimistic unless you think Incey Wincey is that good and with their best two players going.

As the weather is improving, I wonder if the blue few will get a visit from Al Mirage? Didn't Jacobs say he'll visit 'very very soon' a few weeks back, or is very a unit of time like a month.

They can only act on footballing debt... stupid ****s.

I was looking at the fixture list thinking we have an extra match with the semi-final of the JPT and that tiredness could be a factor. However, as it happens, the skates have one more game to play due to their postponed games being rescheduled, so: The cup game will be the Skates 5th game in 14 days, if they also sell a few players this transfer window the rest of the squad will have to cope. Saints have a less demanding schedule with the game being the 4th in 15 days, both teams having last played on the 9th Feb before the cup game.

Not only that, there were many other events before this that were organised to raise money from a concert to pledges, this was a bridge too far.
