Hmm should I pop down the shop for some Ricotta cheese to stuff my Parma Ham wrapped grilled chicken breat dinner or get a Cider cracked open, stay on here and listen to the second half and see if anyone notices I used Mature Cheddar instead? Decisions, decisions.

Boo

Hooray

Oh great and the Carlisle stream is now off air

Wow that's amazing probably THE clearest reception I've ever had on Saints Player NOT

Dear Mr Grant. You are without a doubt an idiot. If you had so much as bothered to check you will have noted that the rules and the cut off date for completing a simple form to register to play in Europe were BEFORE you went into Administration. As it was CLEARLY such an important and emotive issue for you might one ask WHY you did not deem it important enough FOR YOU TO HAVE CHECKED IT YOURSELF? You are now not only spouting verbal garbage, but you also are either 1) Clearly Lying or 2) Showing yourself to be utterly incapable of being called a MANAGER of a large business. "It wasn't me I didn't do it" is without a shadow of a doubt reserved for spoilt kids. Clearly you are now demonstrating the emotional maturity of a 6 year old pikey.

Sweepstake time. At what point will AA have a press conference and express his disappointment/moral outrage/horror at what he found when he started to do his investigation work. Something along the lines of "I had no idea things were so bad" as he starts to cover his arse (CVA) to protect his future career having realised he's been sold a sinking trawler? I reckon some time around FA Cup weekend followed by pop

We were lured into thinking there may be some sense of reality down the road with teh St Johyn's appeal. This one suggests otherwise http://mypompey.com/blogs/goldenboot/archive/2010/04/23/illegal-uefa-pompey-ban-breaches-two-european-laws.aspx

Bloody DHL, sorry nick I did send it. Oh whoops you wanted a BUNG, oh dear I sent you some of Coombe Bissetts finest DUNG, maybe you should have one less red wine next time

A return flight in Business Class between London & Dubai every day for 6.5 years

The knives keep being stuck in

AA - You see MORE lies, you do not get webbed fingers from being in Portsmouth. TSW - Ah actually know, it's webbed feet you get in Portsmouth. AA - Correct you see the proof, no webbed fingers

Agreed, well done to Tom, but until the rest stop with the idiot comments they won't begin to win back any moral high ground, shame only a few of the Few have standards and a bigger shame they only find them NOW

Yes all very well SRS but come on, out with it, How do you REALLY feel? Oh and I think the rest of the world is slowly starting to notice and while not so emotive may be beginning to think along these lines

Oh yes, one little Jobsworth at the bottom of the chain will get dumped on, but then the bills will start coming in, there will be inquiries and law suits. and more ministerial fudges. Guess who will end up being hit for the bill? Yup, the taxpayer. Taxpayer paid the Jobsworth, Jobsworth caused the financial meltdown. Good time to be a Lawyer handling class actions

Depends whether you subscribe to the "They really are trying to save the Football Club" theory or the "They will keep it on life support to drain every last drop of blood from it before discarding the husk and building flats at Nottarf". If it is the latter it now means Chanrai has no chance of getting HIS hands on the payments until 2011. That may be enough to make him decide to say sod it before the new season starts (ie pull the plug) It also makes it much harder for new "speculators" coming in, they really WILL have to stump up around 40mil to buy the shell - it can no longer be done as a pay in the CVA figure (20mil) pull out the parachute payment (30milish) type deal.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/portsmouth/7620926/Portsmouth-suffer-Premier-League-parachute-payment-blow.html Oops, PL won't give them the Parachute payment directly, it will be given to the players/football debts first. Now THAT may make things VERY different for the circling vultures

I only have Premier League quality players IN my team. Nicky baby, so many mistakes. We live in a Desert. A desert is HOT. Hot means sweaty areas. The LAST thing anyone down here wears are Boxer shorts FFS Meanwhile, how co-incidental, my foot hurts as well and has done for 3 days. Saw the quack he said take two aspirin and if it hasn't gone by next week you're fooked, it's a trapped nerve and a bone spur and needs an operation. If it does go away then it's either Gout or Osteo-Arthritis. Great

Sweet, an unlicenced Agent - doesn't matter that they will not pay him they just stated they USED him - there's another points deduction. Ah, bless, the old "Pay this Company in Dubai" tax avoidance trick. A nice one of attempting to deceive the Revenue of whichever country Mr A is a taxpayer in. (For those who don't understand that one - local company opens a bank account for Mr X. Money is paid to them (it is a tax free country) they then use an ATM card to pull out the cash or collect large lumps of it when they come here on vacation, OR use it to buy up property locally. The work was done in a tax deducting country but the method keeps it clear... (Allegedly of course) I do hope Mr A has a UAE residency visa, a local rent agreement and driving licence.

Interesting. My mate was stranded here with BA. He was rebooked for 28th April. He got a call today to say they had managed to re-route him out of Abu Dhabi to Heathrow tonight, so the backlog may clear quicker than expected. Also Emirates have been running extra flights to the UK over night to clear their numbers down.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/portsmouth/7619042/Portsmouth-told-they-will-not-be-able-to-play-in-Europa-League.html The full EPL/FA quote re not playing in Europe.... Seems they have (finally) noted their financial situation.. Meanwhile, the accounts are a mess. The club is a mess. Corporate Compliance - absolutely non-existant for years. Storrie teller is now shown to have been "Probably the worst CEO in British Corporate History" (Copyright = D_P) May every Skate that sang his name be hurt by what has and will now go on. For the wiser ones, shame lads but hey you still watched them spend 108+% of their income out there on the pitch. Just take one thing forward in your (miserable for some) lives - If something seems to good to be true, it always is. (Oh and in case I didn't mention it "Never Trust an Arab" - Chris Ryan) Meanwhile meanwhile Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Correct. But you can always pass the address on to your mate

Think we all went there last April as well

Told you we'd get up to 25,000 posts :-)
