Yeees noooo Ooooh

Just trying a new tactic munching Pepper Steak pie chips & peas

oooooooooooooh pin ball

He was on hols over here 2 weeks ago May have kept going down to Aus or something

What we don't want to do is take our foot off the pedal. Dave car's these days come with Cruise Control mate

Is this the time to mention it was a stunningly hot day today for the golf Igot a touch sun burnt

FFS give me a chance just walked in! and the answer is yes get onto skype

My Swing. Tis boom

Hell no. Golf finished at 16:30 local, free beer started at 16:35 for us tireless workers.... Then had to wait for Future Mrs D_P to rescue us - Boooooo

Lucky trip to Park & Shop on the way home was what did it

I'm Baaaaaaack! Nice day wearing the Sash Shirt on Sky with Kaymer. Found 4 new members of the Dubai Saints Massive. EoA been txting me updates so all I can say (after a bucket of bevvies after golf) is WOOOT!

Shock! Amazement! WOW! Nothing happened on a Friday then.

Ah that well known Bangkok based skate - Bang Krupt. Nice one Prob miss 1st half of match thread tonight Sash shirt wearing day for Sky Sports @ golf then beers. Tough job today for me - I'm manning the ack ack guns to shoot down any more dodgy balloons. Tough game, REALLY need a win. Anything but a win will plunge view of our football hopes into an Alpine-esque view. I'll certainly start to get worried. Will Sharp & Lambert have had time to understand each other up front? If they have then could be fun. If they are still getting to know each other.....

One of the key assets we actually had when we were in Admin was our Academy. It showed prospective buyers that they could potentially "make a return on their investment". It was our future. Most telling fact - poopey have just given away their future - again. They really are no longer anything to do with Football. They are simply another Junkie begging on the side of the street They went into rehab, they had a chance. Now they will die slowly and embarrassingly in the gutter unless they find another "dealer" who can abuse them.

It's another Golf Tournament in Dubai this weekend. The long established Dubai Desert Classic. Future Mrs D_P is coming along for the day, I'd planned a peaceful stroll watching Damien McGrane (who shot a 7 Under par 65 - lovely golf) after the whole drama of the Hot Air Balloon yesterday - yeah I was the one mouthing up fark off to the muppets if you saw it on Telly) Anyways the lass insists on wearing her Sash Shirt for the day, and amazingly she met about half a dozen different Saints fans. Couple came up to her towards the end of the round and ask "Why you wearing a Southampton Shirt?" "It's to upset any people from Portsmouth and to let them know we are here and, of course to make their day even more miserable with Admin coming. Why, where you from?" "I'm from Portsmouth" the skate replies "Well, don't let another admin spoil your day at the golf" Bless her, they learn so fast these days Will prob dig my shirt out for tomorrow working with one of the televised groups in celebration IF we get confirmation in time

Well, if anyone wanted to try and discover any unfounded allegations about him then they would probably not find be able to find any press articles referring to sudden changes in gambling patterns with the likes of Ladbrokes when he was about to change jobs

Peeps, this is NOT the "arry for England job thread. It is the poopeys owner did NOT make poopey evade paying tax thread. In this particular instance

Oh poor old poopey. Bad news on bad news, They must be absolutely gutted. To discover that they have missed out on the best joke of the year award at the LAFTA awards last night “Conjunctivitis.com – that’s a site for sore eyes” Tim Vine walked away with the prize for that little gem. Never mind skates, there's always next year. Oh, next year. that's after 20th Feb this year isn't it

Pini Zahavi is missing from that list

Let's just say that your analysis on that may not be totally accurate. While it may be the case "at this moment in time" and while nobody is about to accuse or make allegations, the Bloodhounds have certainly been set to work. What may have been unsubstantiated rumours before the trial are now having people get onto airplanes to fly around to investigate stories in a lot more detail. And yes this comes from a source who I see professionally 3 or 4 times a year , and whos' colleague I saw last night while I was stopping Frankie Dettori getting trampled to death by a zillion aggressive kids, and yes we are having a beer over the weekend and yes they have both read a large percentage of this thread since December.. There is nothing to stop the FA appointing 'arry in the public domain - guys - remember FA & FL approved poopeys last few owners

this

Been following Dickson on Twiiter, it is clear he is a "Saint" banters with the players, watches the Televised games and stuff.

Busy day was tired, channel hopped nothing on. Checked out "Catch Up TV service" and found nothing apart from a Cartoon which had been advertsid on Pay Per View a month or so back. I'm really not into "Animations" but we stuck it on. The Legend of The Guardians -The Owls of Ga'Hoole... (Hell even the name had put me off) Wow, they really have come a long way. What astonishing Animation detail. I mean just stunning visually, may sound daft to talk about Feathers rustling but every individual one. Storyline is Kiddie Hero against all odds stuff, Good v Evil and no doubt the books are popular but have to say if I was judging the film as a story it would be a 5 or 6 out of 10 (and that only for Originality) I'd critique the Home Tree from Avatar co-incidence, but as an Entertaining movie that drew us in and some of the big detail scenes were ssimply awesome visually. Really glad I watched it, some techie geeks must have spent months programming that stuff at Animal Logic. For impact (on us & probably on Film Animation) going forwards - 9/10 For story and adding value to life/drama 2/10 Wonderful film and makes all those Toy Story/Despicable Me/Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs type Animations seem utterly out of date. You could amost believe they were real Owls acting... (And I'm sober!)

I had a smirk at the "we'll have to go into Admin jokes from the poopey trust. Peeps. You have a CASH FLOW problem 1) You have to pay WAGES of what appears to be 1.8/2mil a month 2) You have to pay taxes of what appears to be 800k a month That = around 2.6mil. You do NOT have debts (source AA) other than one month of wages & HMRC's (by now around 2.4mil) You owe staged payments on the players that you purchased. Admin is entered into in order to gain protection from your creditors Guys - even IF you go into Admin you 1) Have to pay the Wages INCLUDING the back pay - FOOTBALL CREDITORS RULE 2) Have to pay the Transfer Installments - FOOTBALL CREDITORS RULE 3) Have to pay around 100k a month in fees to the Administrator Admin will actually make the situation WORSE by loading even MORE monthly expenses onto the club. You know what guys, we've been looking at this all wrong these past years. These days there is huge money to be made globally writing books on how to run Businesses or how to perform better at work. (Let's face it every rubbish boss hides behind "have you Read The Art Of War?" This thread ain't no historical document. It's a new money spinner for us - How NOT to run a Football Business. We'll get an Editor in, add some motivational one liners that can be turned into Posters and bingo, we'll make enough wonga inside a couple of months to be able to buy Saints and all be Fan Owners just like poopeys new dream. Ironic that they will have given us the means to do that.
