5417? It'll really take a stretch of the imagination to get that one.

Expulsion?

No fans of Livestock then?

There should be a minimum charge for Alcohol. Talk of 'cheap crap' would then be irrelevant as higher quality products would then be at the same price as the mass produced fizz that solely exists to get the dregs and tearaway teenagers leathered. It would also price many people out of getting leathered as a lifestyle and hopefully let them get some perspective. Pubs would have a chance to be competitive again and maybe, just maybe there could be a chance for the social aspects they bring to thrive again. The smoking ban does need to be re-appraised though, because that is the big killer on public houses.

103 minutes and counting.

This must surely be the moment when the whole house of cards comes crashing down. All the loans must be secured against TV money and if the club sees none of it, surely the terms of the loans will be breached....

Or even the 'Skate Bait' thread. The thread title change should only occur when they die though. So only a few hours left until the final domino trail begins to tumble!

Can't beat a bit of Tailstock. The backbone of lathe based industry.

Yes, the same resulted in points penalties for AC Milan, Lazio, Fiorentina and Reggina.

Was quite funny hearing him say he wouldn't trade 'all the money in the world' for the FA Cup. Especially considering that it seems his beloved club attempted to do just that!

Van Persie signs for Dyson.

That really worked well for him here didn't it!

Lets hope he does. That contract was signed in good faith, they should honour it. Not Utaka's fault if they couldn't follow it up.

Remind me, how many seemingly innocent words are also slang for boobies?

Which only serves to make it funnier.

As any club that has been involved with trouble in recent years will testify though, the majority are always tarnish by a rowdy minority. They could destroy the positive impression the wider public has regarding your fanbase for years to come, after all, there's a media story to be had!

Peter Storey? Mark Jacobs? Sacha Gaydamak? Ali Al Faraj? One of the 7 home fans at Fratton for the cup third round?

Mark Jacob not being able to give any answers that would help. lol at Al Faraj's brother not knowing the offside rule until coming to games this season. And the 40 million into the club is only loans. - Direct from Jacob's mouth.

No f**king way!? When that march descends into chaos all sympathy in the larger media will dissappear instantly.

Hi Mate Cheers for your opinion. Hopefully he will do well for us and it sounds like you have resigned yourselves to losing him. Out of interest, how do you rate Cranie? Oh, and as a Saints fan in Cov I may be up at the Ricoh tomorrow cheering on a Skate defeat. All the best.

I share your concern, mainly because for us to be behaving like this right now is slightly vulgar considering the current economic condition. It seems we are currently guaranteured by Markus Leibherr and as such our finances are secure, but it is all part of a long term plan, a loss leading period so we can get to the Premiership. I would worry if that period lasts too long, but until that event occurs I am enjoying the ride.

See, that doesn't fit too well with me. Pardew doesn't strike me as the type of manager to take a player on to work outside of his most comfortable position, if we do sign both Danns and Stock I would feel its because Pardew will think they are better then what we have in that position or will supply depth. I wouldn't expect one of them to be shifted out wide.

That idea would then fit in with Pardew prioritising strength in depth in the middle of the park. A bid for a new RB should surely follow later in the window. Also, I always had Danns down as a more central player, does his playing history involve him playing on the right?

Good shout on Harding, he has made some excellent forward runs this season although his positional sense at the back is considered by some to be a weakness.

We would be doing what we are doing now. Attracting players from a higher league who have been proven at that level without being outright stars. Lower prem standard performers in the World Cup would be within our reach.
