I can understand his decision. There is a good chance of Bournemouth getting promotion this season and if that happens, his CV is enhanced big time ! Nobody can accuse him of being disloyal or greedy so he stands out from the normal money grabbing mob of usual suspects whenever a vacancy occurs (which is just about every other week !). He is young and still has a lot to learn so why not do this in a place where expectations are low and you are already popular ? He will get a bigger job somewhere, sometime soon and personally I think that he is going the right way about it ! The only thing that worries me is that this decision will further galvanise BFC and make the competition even more intense for us !

IMHO Oxo is the only one of those with blistering pace and has effectively replaced Antonio from last season ! Guly and Punch are not slow but cannot be considered 'explosive', whereas Adam's lack of pace is his only real weakness ! I consider that we only need one more player in the current squad and the overriding priority is that he should be like 'sh#t off a shovel' !

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/table/default.stm They've won 5 out of 11 which is not great, but with 5 draws also, they will no doubt be difficult to beat ! NO game from now on in should be taken for granted and (as you say) we need to win the battle first !

I think that we should bump the prices as high as possible for this game, say about £50 minimum ! With the extra revenue we could fund a new player to help us get out of this sh#tty league ! Ps. I am out of the country then and unable to attend but it just seems to make sense to me !

We could through in Pulis as a sort of 'Buy One Get One Free' ! BOGOF would be quite appropriate IMO !

PACE ! Only Oxo is blessed with this, otherwise we have precious little !

TBF he's much worse than that

I met Kevin Davies and Brett Ormerod in the player's lounge at Stamford Bridge after a game a few years ago (connections!)! They were both good lads and very chatty, I discussed the state of the pitch with Brett (it was muddy as hell that day!) and then turned to Kev and asked him how he felt he had coped with it ? Very politely, he advised me that, as he never got off the subs bench he hadn't a clue ! Must have thought I was a total prat (or taking the p*ss) as I had just watched the whole match minutes before!

Correct me if I'm wrong but have we not just witnessed one of the best team performances of the season to date and achieved a comprehensive win against one of our main rivals ?? Personally I could not pick out an MOTM and equally thought that nobody had a 'mare' ! Given this, I cannot understand why Guly is singled out for criticism, particularly as he supplied 2 quality assists out of our 4 goals !!

At the moment it is neither a 'best thing' nor a 'worst thing', it is just a 'thing' ! HTH

One of the toilets in the Itchen is blocked ! Andy D'Urso has inspected it and the GAME IS OFF ! :)

He sold Auto Trader in 1998 for £174 million which effectively made his original fortune ! He subsequently build up an empire of around 80 different businesses but had a blip in the 2008 credit crunch. He has since rationalised and I understand that he is still a very wealthy man !

As they say in Pompey's top restaurant " I'm lovin it" !!

Any default on the CVA surely changes everything, no ? This to me would be logical but I'm afraid I don't know the law concerning this !

I've done well on this and also have tweeked my other funds to include more Asian stocks ! Can't see Europe performing well in the short/medium term !

Did I miss the cheerleaders at half time again ??

Oh well, I suppose a few good results and this will all go away but I am not holding my breath !

I cannot believe that China is being hailed as a 'socialist' success story ! Of the 1.3 billion inhabitants (estimates vary buy a few hundred million!) at least one billion are living in relative poverty and the gap between the rich and poor is enornmous. The political 'elite' is far more powerful and influential than any form of aristocracy around the world (with the probable exception of the UAE!). If you don't believe me, read this : http://www.gov.cn/

Not like you to take the p*ss Deppo

Now that would be interesting

Interesting that Cortese seemed to be sympathetic towards LB (comments from the 'Dinner with NC' thread!).

David Luker = good guy, will be missed, good luck in the future !

I know Cape Town pretty well and believe me, if you go to Gugulethu at night you are asking for trouble (bad enough in the daylight!). It is beyond comprehension that anybody staying at the Cape Grace hotel would not have been made aware of the risks ! Clearly one is innocent until proven guilty but I strongly feel that there is more to this than just a routine kidnapping and murder (if the SA authorities wanted to downplay the incident, they could have let it drop, this way it is in the worldwide press!)

Is that why you learnt to speak Russian ??
