@bigadamsport: #POMPEY Striker Matt Tubbs completes his move to Pompey on a two and a half year deal https://audioboom.com/boos/2781585-pompey-boss-andy-awford-talks-to-bigadamsport-about-signing-former-cherries-striker-matt-tubbs Awford: "He saw it as an opportunity to come to a big club"

Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen Tesco insists it remains committed to Fratton supermarket, despite cutting store numbers across the county. #Pompey http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/business/local-business/tesco-assurance-on-fratton-store-plan-1-6509136 … Careful wording there from Tesco..... "intention"...."believe"...."would"..... not as definitive as they could have worded it. Anyway, I assume this is all immaterial as Robinson has already handed over the cash to Pompey ("it's ring-fenced for stadium development innit guv, not for splashing out on Matt Tubbs on anyfink like that"), so one assumes that wasn't conditional on the building work going ahead....

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport #AFCB striker Matt Tubbs has his contract at Cherries terminated by mutual consent - he's now free to join #pompey Given there were multiple clubs reportedly trying to sign him, why would Bournemouth cancel his contract instead of selling him to the highest bidder? Surely demand was higher than supply in this case and as such Bournemouth could have recouped some of the £800,000 they forked out for him 3 years ago? It's a good job I'm not a conspiracy theorist otherwise I might be inclined to be intrigued as to why they have made this as easy as possible for Pompey to sign him....

It's one of the pitfalls of being a long time Cutting Crew fan. Great album though.... http://www.discogs.com/Cutting-Crew-Compus-Mentus/release/2127961

Yes. Search for "hebdo" on Twitter and then filter on videos only.

Yep, correct. The jury wasn't asked to determine whether or not consent had been given, but whether Evans would have known that any consent given was 'unreliable' given the amount of alcohol the woman had consumed. An 'expert' defence witness suggested that the woman would have been compus mentus enough to give consent (see transcript extract below) but the jury obviously chose to dismiss this submission. https://www.crimeline.info/case/r-v-ched-evans-chedwyn-evans

Likewise. Sickening.

Have you, or do you know of anyone, who has ever had sex with someone who had been drinking? If yes, how did you/they know whether the level of alcohol was below or above the level whereby "consent" was reliable? (Just asking the obvious devil's advocate questions before someone accuses me of trying to justify or mitigate Evans's actions.) I think what people are trying to articulate here is that there is seemingly a very grey area when it comes to consent where alcohol is involved, which might explain why Evans is convinced he hasn't done anything wrong (Legally that is. I don't think there's any doubt about the morality side of things)

Alex Goring Crook @alex_crook Reports in Scotland #saintsfc have made a six-figure bid for 17-year-old Dundee striker Craig Wighton #transfers http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/sport/dundee-fc/southampton-bid-for-dundee-teen-star-craig-wighton-1.774758

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/brown-tips-tubbs-for-pompey-move-1-6506228 Good job Pompey's finances are buoyant enough to pay over the odds then.... #dejavu

I used to. They stopped after a few successful attempts to keep the calls going for longer than half an hour each time....

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11327860/The-Ched-Evans-case-has-become-a-lightning-rod-for-irrationality.html Sums it up nicely IMO

Couldn't have put it better myself: http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2015/01/the-online-petition-is-simply-a-21st-century-version-of-the-lynch-mob/ Well, I probably could have done but for my veil of modesty.

Schneiderlin for me. First name on the team sheet when available.

Looks like Pompey are going to trump Wimbledon's "incredible offer" and Bristol Rover's "attractive package" to sign Matt Tubbs. I wonder what Pompey have got that's so attractive....oh, silly me, it's the chance to play in front of the bestest fans in the world of course.... http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Bristol-Rovers-target-Matt-Tubbs-tempted/story-25810811-detail/story.html

Thank you for noticing kind sir. Saintsweb could do with more observant people like your good self. Most people couldn't give a toss and that's no foundation for a successful and thriving internet football forum. P.s. ask me to "do groundhog day" next time

Also ensure the people dealing with the appeal don't read the SaintsWeb forum....

It also occurred to me the other day that I can't believe Krueger or Katherina have ever been up to see the bridge for themselves as I'm sure they wouldn't endorse having such an eyesore as one of the main gateways to the stadium. To those of us that use it regularly its obvious that something needs to be done to improve it (both cosmetically and practically) but it would appear no-one with any influence at the club has actually seen it first hand in recent times.

Simple 'solution' if people are broadly in favour of creating a 'kop end' in the Chapel stand: the club could stop selling season tickets (for one season only) in the Northam end and redirect renewals to the Chapel. Would probably p1ss a few people off initially but its a means to an end that would soon be forgotten. Just a thought.
