  1. Thanks MLG Hey I was close Bit like Elenin.....
  2. Certainly not down here. But if you find some up there it could be a good evening to take it out into the garden, park in a deckchair and watch the trial run with the Double Decker Bus. Should come close to you lot as "The Big Man" upstairs sends it into the deserted wastes of Nott Arf. (Safest part of Britain in terms of no casualties)
  3. hehe 1-0 to D_P Lol at the Troll putting words into my already too long posts. Who said CSI didn't do due dilligence? I just said they believe they got a deal and inferred only what a thousand others have conjectured about what will happen to the CVA. Now, where was that long statement from AA detailing exactly how the NewCo would be formed. The one that they used to get permission to liquidate the oldco? That's the one that should be kept ready to cross reference for compliance. Never respond to a troll, I tried polite discussion with it so FFS people stop quoting him it screws up the ignore function
  4. Hawk Eye at SMS Cool. Won't have to worry about dodgy LBW decisions over the winter
  5. Oh bugger If it hits them it'll do 10 million quid's worth of improvements
  6. Wow that one's off the wall. Except it mentions Nirubi which comes up in many of the Elenin proper stories.
  7. Ah, so youngsters are going to be the key to the future eh? So tell me what did they do with many of their youngsters last season? Oh, and far from me to offer footballing tactical advice to anyone but I did think of this. Dear CSI We understand that you are about to pursue a Youth Strategy. We are pleased to recommend the UK's leading expert on integrating Youth players into the NpC environment. He has plenty of availability these days and it is but a short drive for him from the Cotswolds to Portsmouth. We are sure he can tell you how successful this strategy can be and how satisfying it can be for your amazing fans. If you can't find his contact details, through Google, do not worry, his Co-Expert can be found most match days at Eastleigh FC
  8. here's a decent start on a bunch of conspiracy theories http://www.postchronicle.com/news/science/Comet_Elenin_Theories_Alien_Ship_Created_Sumatra_Quake_VIDs_Pics__20110906.shtml Is it an Alien ship? What caused it to blow up? Did it cause all the earthquakes? Jeez nothing in the press but more miles in blogs than our dear own poopey thread. Anyways unless the explosions have knocked it off course slightly we should get through the weekend (unless we get hit by a NASA satellite, and we've got until 5th/6th of Nov before we get wiped (or not) by an Asteroid. http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1397104/pg1 Or is it just a cover up to hide Niburu hurtling in behind it. Anyway there's a good hour of fun to be had googling & listening to the nutters! Good news - in this recession we won't have to worry about Xmas shopping! Enjoy
  9. There was an article in the DT which explained - well absolutely nothing http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/8783217/Speed-of-light-may-have-been-broken-QandA.html there was then another article which explained it even less, but it had about 100 + comments which explained everything. It's all to do with the mass. feck knows why you have to be a Catholic to understand.
  10. To those saying the NpC is competitive. Well it is if you are properly run OR you have money behind you. I doubt Donny fans would say it was competitive right now (heck maybe even skates) The fundamental difference in reality is that the NpC is a Football League, the PL is Showbusiness. We are in a rare place at the moment where we have rebuilt a club and a team and we have a soul. I really do not look forward to signing 80k a week players with no connection to us or the team and who Kiss the badge because it helps their image rights BUT there are teams who can go up, get established and give their fans enjoyment, that should be our first aim. We may not like the way Stoke play, but they have found their own way of dooing it Do I want Promotion? Hell Yes. Will it be different this time? Hell Yes. Why? Because this time we have an ethos in the club where "survival" but a profit for shareholders each season would be regarded as a massive failure
  11. Here is a different slant. Like I've mentioned before, CSI may well have a messy trail but that may not be where the future fun will lie, and it is all speculation. But looking at Russians in a Business Culture way (something the PC UK never normally do - watch the cries of stereotyping from the troll) Doing business with Russians it can help if you understand them. Some got to become Oliagarchs they had contacts and friends and you can read as much as you like about that on rumamafia or wherever. Some got to become successful by seeing an opportunity and trading we see a lot of them here buying cheap bending import processes and selling high But the uncanny thing when you deal with them is that it is almost always about "The Deal". We see them buying their Guggi down here - they are THE most aggressive negotiators. Understanding they wanted to buy a club (their need/Ego has driven them to make that decision as we already acknowledge) So, why did they buy poopey? Was it the quality of life in North End? The al fresco dining on the beach? Was it to leave a lasting legacy? Or was it because they thought they got a damned good deal? Now it's that last bit that determines how they move forwards, if they feel they got a great deal then they may speculate to accumulate. If they THOUGHT they were getting a good deal and things are crawling out of the woodwork - that will not look so good.... Was it Ego or was it Corporate Branding? Any Russian language readers found any Corporate Press Releases yet? Anyone heard of them taking their biggest clients to games to enjoy the Hospitality (sic). IMHO it was all about 1) someone was stupid enough to finally talk to them 2) someone convinced them it was a good deal. For that person's sake, I hope it was. Personally I bet Caveat Empor will float around from time to time... CVA what's that? as an example
  12. Most footballers these days are trained in Media Management and so are taught exactly how to toe the "Corporate Line". But these comments, while toeing the line also contain more emotive/personal comments than you would usually expect to hear. Again, to me it shows yet again that we aren't building a squad by playing FM, but by actually looking at the mentality & mindset of players - he feels he has fitted in to "something" special. IMHO it is that something which will carry us a long way and that we should no longer think in terms of HCDAJFU but more DHHMTFI - does he have (the) mindest to fit in. Long may we continue to have a egotistical c()ck free football team to support.
  13. Remember. the ONLY thing that HAD to be ringfenced were the football creditors. No method of paying that in full, no Golden Share, no Football Licence. After that, the club required funds to function during Admin
  14. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/oliver-brown/8779971/Turkish-women-lead-the-way-in-the-feminisation-of-football.html OK so well done to Fernebache for coming up with the idea to get around the sanctions So many women, so little time....
  15. OP should listen to the pre-match NA interview on Solent. He nailed why we are successful & why he is really enjoying it. He will know that may not be the case anywhere else. He knows we are going up this year. That was also clear, it is his target and everyone is focused on staying where we are in the League. Only team to beat him at home all year were Man Ure, he doesn't need to leave he knows his ability will get us up there this year. Us lot ain't convinced by any stretch but he knows, that comes through with the squad as well. He can hit the PL with a quality squad and needing a few pieces of the jigsaw and knowing he has the support staff and the Chairman's support to do it. So until Fergie, Mancini or Villa Boas go, the only club he'd leave us for would be Liverpool
  16. Took part in a match in training with Jaidi. Not putting any pressure on him At this rate hoping he will be back after the International Break. Jaidi waiting to see if any reaction to the practice game. Butterfield today was 1st game back after injury as well NA happy
  17. NA Good Butterfield got game coming back from injury Jaidi Barnard played in training LB prob back after Int break Jaidi waiting to see if reaction Pleased for Ben Reeves wants to bring more through Twinges for Jos & De Rid nothing serious Thought Holmes was excellent 1st half What is our target for the rest of the season - to stay where we are top Would love Liverpool Away (or home) next round We want to win every game I'm luvvin it
  18. Nope But I get 10 points AND a beer from the fridge brought up for me! WOOT nice one cheers you should have seen the grin on her face!
  19. Phew fank fook Lallana just over. 10 points still possible pressure from PNE Arrgh
  20. Very twitchy here got 2-1 after screwing up the KO time on Sunday & not getting it done in time 4 mins arrggh We don't want to get pressed deep - didn't DM just say that?
  21. This is a bit squeaky think we need a nun Ohio over to you
  22. What we don't want to do is get pressed too deep in our own half. At this point of the game you're asking for trouble But Dave they have a FK just outside our area matey
  23. Lol bringing Rickie on as Sub must break Phil Brown's heart!
  24. ORRRR you can just send a txt from the game & I'll tell him when to get the headphones on, but keep it tactical FFS
