That was Holly Willoughby.

The question of 'why now, when he can't defend himself,' keeps occuring to me. The thing is, he wouldn't have been the only guilty party, anyone who would have known about this and not have come forward with the information would have been indirectly responsible for any abuse occuring from that point onwards. This puts every colleague, chauffuer, aide and senior BBC employee who would have been privy to any relevant information into an extremely dim light. A combination of their own guilt/culpability and the ongoing thrall this man may have had over them could have been enough to keep things quiet..... Not that this is in any way right. My personal feeling; if there is a cloud of smoke, you bet there's fire.

This is symptomatic though, and proof that the trust simply wouldn't work. They have a single minded agenda, for a large group of people to come together to fulfill one grander aim there needs to be an allowance for shades of gray between the finer lines of detail. Those leading the trust are utterly intolerant of contrary viewpoints and options, politics and infighting would surely occur. As a democratic entity the trust couldn't be ruled as a dictatorship, it would tear itself appart. Like all things Pompey, nieve, poorly thought through and utterly unsustainable. It may well be kind ensuring that it never gets of the ground, let dreams remain alive and unfulfilled rather then destroyed.

Would you Adam and Eve it!

He just did! haha.

It seemed as though they were about to be found out and exposed.... so they made a poorly planned break for it.

I expected a long hard struggle and hoped to be in touch with the pack after the first five fixtures where out of the way. Even mid-table teams in this league only win 1 in 3, we better get used to the fact that every win at this level is an event to celebrate, not a divine expectation.

Just seen that this is on the schedule, a very entertaining game if memory serves me well. Just thought it would be good to bring to wider attention.

Getting my impression from watching Football First. For the first part of the game, until Everton's goal went in we were on top, we looked excellent. Whether it was Everton underestimating us at the back or our excellent forward play... (or more likely a hybrid of the two) we looked great value for our lead; Jay Rodriguez will be kicking himself tonight for that miss to put us two up i'm sure. Then a moment where we failed to clear our lines led to the equaliser. This was the turning point of the game. All of a sudden the belief in our game plan ebbed away... Everton came at us. Gazzaniga will be dropped for our next game I feel, his lack of presence for the final two Everton goals was dissappointing. The lack of bite in our midfield was even more shocking though, we couldn't get a grip on the Toffees. When at full flow Everton were better then us..... but they had to raise their game to see us off. The mental fragility in the team is a worry for me currently. Our key factor last year was momentum, our initial fixture run has seen it so that we couldn't develop an early head of steam. Our style of play at this stage could be a mixed blessing, it will ensure we will score goals but will equally leave us exposed. Without truly world class defenders and defensive midfielders that could be our downfall.... and whenever we conceed we look liable to do so again, it's almost as if the team expects to be under the cosh. I expected us to struggle this season yet I have been encouraged by our first 6 games. The next two months will dictate our fate. I personally still feel we can survive yet the manner in which we would achieve it will leave us utterly breatheless. It's quite gung ho.

A hint of Coventry (it does have it's own accent) mixed in with the Hampshire, Kent and North Yorkshire I had influencing me growing up. Throw in a hint of Maltese, Northumblerlandshire and Mockney and you have quite a cocktail.

If he invented that exam, A+ to him. Not that it'll do him much good in the peadophile wing.

He said similar last time. Even the Skates get it, he has no interest in making them successful, he wants his money. Ownership of the Skates gets him parachute payments. In the same press releases as his 'no longer a reluctant owner' rubbish he also stated they would be run within their means.... With Chainrai in charge they are f**ked. Bring it on.

They would have one season, this season to do that. At nearly 20 points adrift of the playoffs after only 8 games.... No chance. I wonder how much the club is worth to him in League 2. He will asset strip them.

Only if used to set up a pheonix club.

It's never your fault, it's never your fault.... Always the victims, it's never your fault....

A momentus day. The Skates are now having to loan players from Bournemouth's team. This officially signifies them as the fourth placed club on the south coast.

Which week are these scheduled for?

Bloody stalkers.

Leeds will be desperate to avenge the 0-1 mugging we exacted there last year. A Warnock team won't be afraid to live up to the dirty Leeds stereoype either.

It's leeds away! Bugger

Don't ignore the obvious.

Aside for one or two scored by Le God himself, it's a no contest. That goal all the way.

Good to hear.

It's probably why Swansea have ignored it as well. And as a club with extremely high fan influence that is almost surprising.
