For those who wondered why they bought the club, this may (in a very subtle way!) provide a clue ??? :)

Can't see it, reckon uncle Avram will have been in place for a month or so before we take them on !!

Word is that he was so impressed with Princess Beatrix's wedding hat, he went for a copy

He's actually bl**dy rude, Herdman was more than reasonable with his questioning (IMHO) and yet he responded as if he'd somehow been insulted !! I'm not a great fan of Nigel's interviewing style but at least he always shows common courtesy and respect !

My brother (a Leicester ST holder!) was at both games and reckons that Saints were a class above the Seagulls ! TBF, he also said that Leicester are beginning to gel and were more solid at the back ! Anyway he is a neutral, so if he says that, it must be true, no ??

Clot's answers in advance : Red card = bent ref ! Goal against = offside/foul ! Overall play = we wos better team ! Teams above = about to 'fizzle' out ! Zero shots on target = somebody must have shifted the goalposts !! Message to the Russkie Mafia bays - please don't sack him, we just love him, we do !!!!

Leave him alone Phil, you will never out-ped a pedant !!!

Bournemouth ??

To be fair you get to see Barnsley, Peterborough or Doncaster

Nowhere does he state that he is not willing to collect the vouchers ! Why then are you slagging him off ??

That wasn't his point though ! He said that we should hold our best players back, settle for the play offs, and then bring back the 'big guns' ! Fortunately Adkins was not of the same view !

If you care to check back, I ripped the p*ss there and then (along with many others!) so nothing to do with 'hindsight' ! Anyway I have no desire to hijack this thread but just thought that, as this was one of your most priceless gems you had an opportunity to admit that you made an arse of yourself ! Ah well, never mind....

No mention of your : "We must rest our best players for the run-in, as our only hope is the play-offs" thread then ??

Oi, I'm supposed to be the one with the glasses, you're the one with the short fat hairy legs

Both of the highlighted figures have been plucked from articles written by people supposedly 'in the know', but given that reported debts when Admin Andy started the process were around £60mil and soon ballooned to £130mil, I would not pay too much heed to the accuracy of any quoted figures leading up to administartion ! The only FACT regarding numbers is the bottom line £130mil which was the figure used in court as the total outstanding to creditors, even that, we all know was contrived to minimise the taxman's percentage but any 'forensic investigation' has to assume that this is the starting point and work backwards ! I wish them well ! FC, please don't take any of Ho's figures as gospel just because he repeats them ad nauseum, he knows no more nor any less than any of us do !

Adkins said all along that he was preparing a team which would be of 'championship standard' and not just to get us out of the 3rd division ! Looks like he was true to his word !

As I stated in my post "I suppose it's a matter of opinion" but I do have a strong view based on (lierally!) hundreds of visits to both countries ! ( minimum 6 times a year for about 35 years!) I have eaten in a few of the 'starred' restaurants, but over the years mainly in mid/high level establishments. My opinion is that the general standard in Italy (from north to south) is much higher and more consistent ! So no, I wasn't joking !

Bl##dy hell, you call us naive and then praise the football authorities ! Tell me again who allowed an invisible man (Ali al Mirage) to pass the 'fit and proper persons test' ????

My daughter was racially abused (verbally) by a minicab driver in London. She called the police and was told that she had no chance of prosecution, she asked if it would have worked the other way around and was answered "probably love, I know it's wrong but that'sthe way it is" ! Ps. she is white, the driver was Asian !

I suppose it's a matter of opinion but I don't think that Spanish cuisine is in the same league as Italian !

Fair play to the Pompey trust in keeping the pressure on the club to do something ! At least they are not in denial, believing that everything is hunky dory, unlike our resident troll on this thread !

I know the city very well but don't consider it as a tourist place as such ! San Siro is a must if there is a match on (great experience!). You can visit the Piazza del Duomo and the famous galleria and if you get a chance (and can afford it !) the opera at La Scala is world class ! The main highlight though is eating out, but avoid the main touristy type places on the main drags, much better to go local (get recommendations at the hotel !), The area of Brera is good for bars, restaurants and nightlife but be warned that nothing is particularly cheap ! HTH

I don't know what all the fuss is about, it happens in Skatesville all the time

When I worked in Brussels I had colleagues from most European countries and we regularly compared notes on salaries, tax, bonuses etc.. The top rate was often the most emotive topic but everything depended on the thresholds and also other factors such as mandatory church tax, separate rubbish tax, child allowances, stamp duties, mortgage relief, company car tax, etc, etc...) My conclusion after most of these discussions was that it was 'swings and roundabouts' and generally speaking people at the same executive level had a very similar standard of living, regardless of what their highest rate of personal income tax actually was !!

Please, please tell me that you forgot a smiley to indicate that you were taking the p*ss ?
