OK who hacked Ottery's account? Must be a first with not one But, I agree wholeheartedly. Some of the we don't know what we're doing crew should watch that Sports Science clip (or watch what happened to Ernie today after 6 months with SCW's idea of a Vision coach) Still think more to come, it's still 33 days to the end of the Transfer WIndow

I REST MY CASE I think I won. I think the figure of how much money they ACTUALLY invested in the entire project is pretty clear from the Creditors Report. Yep, they spent 10mil Unfortunately it belonged to some poor pensioners in the Baltics they spent the 8mil on their cars & lifestyle

specially this one the CSI interest in Bompey that did not exist eh http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/9533502.Cherries__Decision_not_to_sell_vindicated_says_Eddie/ And of course no Saints fan could possibly have known anything about them http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/8260131.Cherries__Jackson_linked_with_Russian_bid/ And of course, the source did not have to be LLS as anyone with one more google search of Saints in Admin could have found out OR anyone with a mate who lives in Bournemouth could also have found. Poor old corpy never did recover from all that, amazed he's still banging on about it now

That's what Major's are supposed to be about. Adam Scott played superbly for 68 holes and then the pressure hit. Really happy for Ernie, he is such a nice guy, and has had so many problems in the last few years looking after his kid and losing his focus. Made me a few bob as well. WIll have to get the signed Ernie Golf Caps I've collected over the years out onto ebay pdq. Oh and Tiger? Stop with the "you're back stuff" and learn how to hit a driver mate. I love you to death for all that you have achieved but until you blew up on the 6th today was like watching paint dry. That is not what you are about mate. Sort it out

Dear skates. This must all have come as such a sudden shock to you. Especially that voice of the people mr allen. Just one TINY little piece of information that you may not have noticed in all of this.... Your OWNERS - CSI - were placed into Administration in NOVEMBER 2011. That's like NINE MONTHS AGO. Now, when your OWNERS have told YOUR MANAGEMENT to SPEND WHAT THEY LIKE and have GONE BUST, what EXACTLY did you think would happen? You have had NINE MONTHS, you have had AN ENTIRE TRANSFER WINDOW to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Well, guess what, you did fark all and NOW you are trying to rescue your pathetic excuse for a club in one week. It's no longer just us nutjobs laughing at you, it's the entire footballing world. Keep it up muppets - go burn some houses down, it'll improve the neighbourhood

Summer 2012 HCDAJFU Thread - Premier League Special Edition
dubai_phil replied to Jimmy_D's topic in The Saints
Why are people saying 20 mil transfer budget is a huge sum? It isn't. Jeez only 6 weeks ago we were congratulating ourselves on making it to the PL and being GUARANTEED 60mil in this season and then a Guarantee of 4 years of PP's if we go back down again. Investing only 1/3rd of our planned income to improve the probability of remaining in the division is pretty low. Oh but I forgot, everyone on here knows transfer fees are all paid in cash in one go -
I guess that means they are caught between a Rock & a hard Plaice
-
Oh, and can I just go on record. I think it is dreadful that players on 700k a year get to sit around and wait for a payout from Liquidation and the few REAL people left working at the club on a pittance face the Dole. I also believe that I like everyone else on here have made our feelings VERY clear, and that I believe the ONLY reason that they have survived these past 3 years is BECAUSE of that Football Creditors Rule. (3 years in non league as a pheonix club - they could well have been back in L2 clean and without having become a laughing stock by now) So again, no sympathy, they had 3 years to sort it out. What should REALLY be put on their tombstone is the Quality over Quantity Press Statement and all the threads on PoL & comments in the snooze immediately AFTER that speech.

That wasn't the question that was asked And no I don't believe it for one moment. But I would answer your question with... So where are Team GB staying & training? (Genuine one that as I have no idea, don't think they will find much space in Stratford)
-
Oh yes they DID! ROFL http://wighteye.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/natwest-island-games-2011-football-gibraltar-v-isle-of-wight/ The Island Games Heck, they even managed to lose against Shetland http://wighteye.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/natwest-island-games-2011-football-gibraltar-v-isle-of-wight/

Hang on a minute. Where are our stattos? I'm seeing comments on Twitter that.... The Isle of Wight beat Gibraltar 3-1............... IoW>Gibraltar>pcfc. The gift that keeps giving
-
Possibly because Butland is tied up with Team GB training at the moment and wouldn't have time for a day trip?

Frustrating having no stream. Had to rely on the drip - feed of Tweets

Should Oscar Pistorius be allowed to compete in the Olympics?
dubai_phil replied to jawillwill's topic in The Lounge
No andy, just no. How much conditioning work does he do on his achilles tendons? How much pain has he gone through with impact injuries to his metatarsals. How many hours a day does he spend working on his calf muscles? Obviously he has different areas of the body that he must work on and he must go through the pain of that training. But THAT is the point, even the work he has to do is DIFFERENT to all the other competitors. Why stop with Oscar? Let's build a gear system for a bike that Stephen Hawking can use in the tdf by blinking? He (Oscar) is a hero and a role model for many many people, but this is the wrong thing for him to do -
I have a snealing suspicion that TB's great plan to buy some more time is what has now blown up in his face. Yes the players deferred, but it would seem pretty clear that the moment one of them leaves the club they lose their right to the deferred money which they are Guaranteed Birch has made himself look a total idiot AND has shown a total lack of Negotiation skills. He believed the hype of the Chinny rescue. ALL he needed to do was to ask the PL & FA to ring fence the players money and they would have gone like a shot. The FACT that he did not do that means that the IMBECILE fans are now (Can you believe this) taking the side of Chinny (so he gets his money out the club) instead of their players. NEVER, in the Field of Media Management, Have so Phew been conned by so many

Look, guys. Enough with the mock gloating. In fact, I am now starting to come around to their point of view. In fact yes, I do believe that they Bestest fans tag belongs to them. In fact, I am so passionate about this that I have decided to go out and have a Plaque Engraved. Pompey - truly the bestest fans in the world I'm even going to get the plaque fitted and ask that nice Mobility Lady to deliver it for me next week. Yep it will look good on here. Don't Rest in Peace Pompey - truly the bestest fans in the world World Football will not mourn your lack of Sporting Integrity Or your spelling

Should Oscar Pistorius be allowed to compete in the Olympics?
dubai_phil replied to jawillwill's topic in The Lounge
no, he should not end of. I have total respect for him and what he strives for as an athlete, but the simple scientific fact is that an athlete with legs has several dozen different working parts to those of Oscar. Evry part of the body needs to function to perfection in a race. Of course Oscar has performed astonishingly well, but in this instance it is the "equipment" that is different. Could I turn up to play cricket with a special compound synthetic cricket bat? No -
Huh? The STEREOTYPED track record as alluded to previously. Examples of 200 page threads going back a couple of years, Jamal being one of them, Buttner POSSIBLY being another. Stop trying to put me into a box that I don't inhabit. There are enough posters on here who post in the opinion of NC being that way. Now, 4 players of quality have been picked up from Rangers for free, and yet we pay 800k. So just because NC has some cash you don't think that is deemed worthy of raising at least an eyebrow?
-
Jermaine Wright. Paul Telfer. Think those made me go Oh Wow, now we're screwed
-
That was an entertaining end to proceedings last night. The Tiger roar and dear Gentleman Tom Watson - ridiculous shot out the 17th bunker, stupid 3 putts to be outside the cut line and then the 30 yarder on 18. Great stuff..... Compared to the pretty dull golf that preceded it for 11 hours. Really needs the wind to blow to make it "interesting" not getting the balls running mies along the fairways or the pitch & bumble onto greens makes this a strange tournament. Fair play to Scott & Snedecker though
-
Hey I agree entirely, but from NC's track record with other "seemingly to us" difficult transfers he has walked away. Look, it's good news, just seems out of stereotype
-
Hmm. Now why would NC (our Evil Genius) give Rangers 800k for a player we did not (probably) have to pay anything for? They don't have a decent goalkeeper of anything up there do they? You know, someone who could walk away from his contract? Or something
