I intend to spend the game dying for a pee after too many Real ales in the 1 hour between lunch & getting to the ground I will also ignore the cruddy beer in the concourse at half time and share Nicotine Chewing gum with my mates so we can imagine we're having a smoke in the concourse

Oh and because I'm gonna be a Sardine on an Emirates A380 most of tomorrow & me Mum doesn't have internet I'll be a bit out of the loop so will only be able to get on here from the Library for an hour each day

The Russkies looked a number of clubs - have evidence on that for anyone wants to come to Salisbury for beer Friday to somewhere with innernet. they looked before and have some comments from them about it. They looked TWICE at Bompey once the Echo went all Lifelongcherrypip about it and once quietly again later posted about his car being spotted in Bompey It was ODD that they then appeared at Poopey but knowing they really want a lcub could have been last option But somehow that public posturing MAY have driven Eddie back to the table Then the link above on the Bompey forum that they were spotted in Eddie's box last weekend And their Biz manager spotted today Are they doing a deal, no proof. Could they have strung Poopey along to get Eddie back to the table - oh wouldn't that be funny. In fact it would be so funny it could only have been done on purpose Let's see, I'm just in smirk mode at the moment at the thought that something like that COULD possibly happen wouldn't describe it as a Baldrick moment yet And no not remotely in a position to take credit for it if that did happen just that I saw it happening sort of my latest Sultan Bin Trump & Al Mirage research moments & kepyt a couple of scpetics up to date that it could be a possibility for the past few months

12:30 ish Saturday, then will buy you that long promised beer

Of course this doesn't allow for the fact that anyone moving into any sort of new job has to learn fast. As others said (eg Udders) it took Nige a while to get things right. So if you look at the points per game from the time he worked out what his players could actually do vs what he hoped they could do, that average increases to something close to 2.5 per game in the run in. Not important OTHER than it shows he learnt and improved. THAT bodes well as I'm sure we will have some lessons next season. But just imagine, just dream, that for once we do NOT feck up our pre-season and actually hit the ground running.... Surely we're overdue for that to happen

I think (hope) he may give Bart a League start to allow KD to soak up the atmosphere from the bench Otherwise maybe our Academy's finest will get a bench slot to give him an idea of what he should aspire to, but the lads who got us in this position deserve to have their moment in the sun (IMHO)

There IS a glimmer of hope, been asked to possiboly delay my return until Wednesday, I fecking hope so would be a great giggle and by topping up the night before's Real Ales & Curry probably be good there will be empty seats behind me. Down side is won't know until Friday or Saturday

That Granty bloke is truly wise. He read my thoughts entirely. Unless of course the Russians really have been stringing Poopey along to get a better deal out of Eddie in whcih case they would have some money for a change so in hindsight. I'll wait a week

Quite a buzz down in bompey today apparently, things moving close to some sort of deal apparently Stop Press Russkies project man spotted down there today

Mike's Fish & Chip Shop on Queensway near Debenhams before the match is always a cracker... And also the ONLY restaurant I know there these days.

Jeeez, that was pretty close then. Well done Jose - now we need Granty to get down a store and get a trophy and award it on Sunday! That'll keep the turnout low

The flag is packed Eric. Hoping to get it hung from the Chapel end goal at the end! Oh just remembered you're working lol.. Oops no sorry didn't mean that wil take nice photos for you please don't delay EK001 I have 6X to drink tomorrow

And I will be coaching the mighty Home Team to victory from the Dugout and doing the post match interviews!

30,000 odd in the Itchen & on the pitch saluting the players & their families as they come out into the Directors Box is a far more spine tingling way to say well done. The issue is for some of our Prawn Sandwich brigade that Pitch Invasion is different from an orderly stroll out onto the pitch that used to happen at the Dell. Invasion is full of old Hooligan connotations. An invitation for everyone to make their way carefully and safely onto the pitch is very different and to be honest those days at the Dell are far more ingrained than any lap of honour (OK aprat from Wembly twice) Parents with Kids told to meet back up at their original seating/standing area as used to be simply doesn't work in the don't think for yourself 'elfnsafetea days

Reaffirms the fact that SMS will be too small for PL football.... Chestnut Old Digs Out

Shouldn't that be The Lambert Walk? Meanwhile cracking idea Deppo. Seeing as we haven't won a trophy we wouldn't have to worry about being like Real Madrid. How much more relaxed the whole afternoon will be without worrying about Tommy Forecast getting his hands on ooops

Yes, but they HAVE to provide the Football Authorities with their business plan for next year in order to be able to play. Also, they have a CVA, and yet as they haven't paid anything from that yet will that information be in the business plan as well? So they have to agree the takeover with people who do not trust a word the club management say and who are in the process of buying a major Interntaional Corporation (Saab) and who have been on the lash with Eddie Mitchell Now I wasn't a Uni Maths graduate, only did an old A-Level, so unfortunately, I still cannot make all of that add up Oh and Matt? Just once in one of your digs, you might like to reference just ONE of the snippets we've analysed properly. Let us know you care.

Oh FFS. I waited and waited for the big news... Booked my flight to return to Dubai on Sunday at 17:00 from Heathrow. Went out for a pint and find out that if I'd waited OR they'd leaked it a bit earlier I could have gone. harumpf. never mind suppose I'll just make up for it on Saturday

No, look, be fair. I believe what he is saying is that we have the fattest fans in the league and that bearing that misfortune aside, they still manage to find the energy to try to stand up and sing at least once a game

.

Sorted Mike's Fish & Chips in Queensway around 12:30 Then a couple of beers (for a change) on the way to the ground Back to Salisbury for a lot of beers Finish off in the Asia Restaurant Fart all the way back here on Sunday

So Saturday is? last game of season. So they come out to play in their "Secret New Kit" for "Marketing purposes" And the new kit goes on sale at 1 minute after the season ends

Lol Of course they will release pictures Of course they will release the DNA evidence And of course theyw ill release the Video footage. Just have to understand that there is an election coming up and Obama is not doing too well, so only a complete moron would release everything in one go a day after the news comes out. You'll get "we have to ensure that nothing could put future operations in jeopardy" or some such like while they over how much political capital they have made out this and how they have the next election in the bag

After reading some of the old threads I'll go for a really subtle one... Defining moment? The fact that we stopped commenting on/speculating about Les Reed's role. Never noticed it until just now but we were paranoid about his involvement in the team and in transfers and since NA's appointment has anyone actually heard if he's still at the club?? Think it shows how the mindset changed slowly but surely. Oh and the other one based on results & the emergence of the fantastic team spirit? Puncheon being shipped out

hehehehe By the way - again respect to Alps, he may post all grumpy but he's been pretty well spot on on a lot of things this season such as the Pre-Season and NA's appointment
