Ah well it was a long time ago. But the moan was the same

The Ron Atkinson "game should never have been played" moan on MoTD after Everton had been turned over at The Dell on a pitch that looked like some of the Snowmen photos

Is that a replica snowman they're selling? Quick work if it is. Why the feck they selling rabbits? if it isn't

How times change. Back in the dark ages, I remember an excellent series on the Beeb by Nigel Calder. "The Weather Machine & The Threat of Ice". He even published a damn good book to go with the series. Anyway, using the available scientific data up to that date, he was able to produce a very solid case for the fact that The Earth was on the verge of it's next Ice Age. Obviously, seeing as there was only the one book and TV series and no Nobel Prizes at that time, all those theories and scientific data from only 25 years ago has been completely disregarded iin the current "I've got a nice career in climate change" environment.

Like Mark Paul, Frankie Bennett & Ali Dia? But seriously, what position currently would we see a "good PL youngster" fitting into. Would we want a "PL nipper" playing RB or CM? Possibly as cover for DH & MS in the centre, but apart from that young Liverpool lad not sure there are any 19 year olds we'd feel are experienced enough to cope at CB in L1?

I am gutted. I bought a dodgy DVD version of Dexter Season 3 in Thailand in September while on hols. That is one series never likely to be shown down here, but as others have said, it is just superb. Anyway, the last disc didn't work, so I took it back to the stall while there for NYE, the guy replaced it, downloded himself to be sure. We tested the disc on his PC. We tested it on the DVD player in the hotel room. We got back home to watch so we could move on to Season 4 and FFS doesn't work again - have tried it on 4 different DVD players/PC's now... grr So started watching Flash Forward instead. Has potential, we're 3 episodes in, not sure if the hero spoils it by trying to be Nicholas Cage

No doubt his team mates are pointing out to him that if he DID hurry up and sign for Saints then they have a chance of getting paid this month

Oh, & would it be really bad if, the next time Onions plays against SA in a pyjama game the DJ plays "Oops I did it again"?

Strewth, there seems more concern and stress on here this evening about the fact they may have paid the wages than there probably is on the skate forums. They paid the players. This is good news. The cunning plan is to make this last ALL season, there's no fun in it all coming unravelled in the middle of a snow storm. Plenty more to come, they'll get some loan money in, they'll get peanuts for some players but get stuck with the ones they don't want. They'll end up with 4 left backs and no right wingers. Chillax gang just think how much more the pain hurts after you've had false hopes. We should know. This still has months to run

I apologise. I was one of Bell's doubters. I held the opinion he did not have the bottle for Test Cricket. I was convinced he should have been dropped after Centurion. I eat humble pie, I was wrong, well done Sherminator. And, I have to admit, as with Cardiff & Centurion, I turned off once the last wicket pair came together, I just couldn't watch. Well done Colly Bell, Onions and Stuart Broad, a finer duck for the cause taking up 22 balls will be hard to find. Poor old Smith, left the declaration half an hour too long. LMFAO

Nobody will be taking Thomas on loan, he's on a ridiculously high salary for CCC let alone L1 Another great Burley legacy

lol Three inch long "pipe".....

Once upon a time I thought there was a law in football called "Bringing the Game into Disrepute" Can anyone explain how what the Skates have been doing for the past months is anything OTHER than this? Surely it is time for some bans or fines

Agree with all of the above, certainly the Policeman arresting the criminal at the Dog show comes second to the statue. But we have forgotten to list one other really funny thing as far as we fans are concerned.... The unveiling of Al Fahim the billionaire saviour of Pompey

The increasingly bizarre struggling Portsmouth Football Club story took an unexpected turn today, when club officials realeased the first pictures of the home end of their new Stadium development.

OK after a great deal of research I think I have found out a couple of their options. http://business.maktoob.com/20090000415930/Kuwait_parl_t_OKs_23_bln_debt_bailout_bill/Article.htm?utm_campaign=Day-Newsletter&utm_medium=Main-News1&utm_source=Day-Newsletter&utm_content= Obviously the reason Al Faraj doesn't show up in Saudi is he has obviously become a Kuwaiti and got the Government to pay off his overdraft OR http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6944560/Girls-aged-12-and-14-hold-up-bank-in-Ohio.html Now THAT was a cunning plan Baldrick, that's why Storrie teller went on a world tour Well, let's face it, both of those are more likely than somebody lending them 100mil

Arse, don't you know that ONLY ever works IF you put money on ity, otherwise it just happens. Now get onto paddy Power and undo the damage you've done. A drawn series would be a good result... hmm

That is a crock of poo. Everyone knows those photos were faked They were taken this afternoon in North Baddesley, not Canada.

And the REALLY bad news is..... All this stuff's gotta melt. Next problem sandbags shortage. Somehow though I just know EoA despite having a rental car in a 6ft snowdrift in a cul-de-sac and with all airports shut will STILL be back here tomorrow. Waxy's?

If things carry on as they are, and if there is even a minute bit of truth in some of the (fairly obvious) deductions, then the penalties will not stop at -9 points. I honestly cannot see how if anything like this is potentially happening then the term "Financial Irregularities" that was used so devastatingly against Luton would have to be used. I am also pretty certain that the if they DO enter admin THIS season, the PL would be a tad more careful in demanding forensic accounts regarding the whole sorry mess BEFORE they granted the playing licence/golden share back to any of the "alleged" "shady characters" associated with their biggest ever embarrassment. They may end up flying straight past us

Chris Ryan's Book, Who Dares Wins, page 2. British Army Rules of Engagement in Iraq. Basically states, "never trust someone who wears a tea towel." Still amazed whether it's buying Football Clubs or buying dodgy Property Developments down here, nobody EVER realises that until it is too late. Ho hum

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/6937478/The-Great-Freeze-of-1962-63-puts-the-current-snowy-conditions-into-context.html lol think that picture shows why the Man C Man U game is off when did they move Eastlands to Iceland?

That whacky manc movie about Cantona summed the whole AFC thing up very well with the AFC Manure fan getting stick in the pub. It isn't the same, we laugh at the skates, but like at Luton, the ****s that made it happen will still be around smirking on tv, earning their millions as managers players or dodgy dealers. (But no I ain't showing sympathy to the few, just the fact that it is wrong that others linked to the mess get away without even a blink of conscience)

Unlike here where I'm just snowed under with work today for some reason

Hey, it was an example, but it helps show the fact that they were unsustainable before the season started. It was common knowledge that they had heavy debts The maths for their income were pretty easy to guess And yet TWO numpties have been conned into buying them. I'm sure only Nickh is ever lucky enough to come across buyers like that in real life Mods. Why no Snowman Smilies? get a grit.
