Reed captaining the U21s today and sounds like he's just scored a cracker.... Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC 13: Reed picks the ball up 25 yards from goal and slams it beyond the outstretched arm of Mitchell and into the corner! [1-1] #SaintsFCU21s

Hmmm, I emailed them earlier but haven't received a reply yet but guess the same answer will apply to me and my son. I'd better get my best sweet talking voice warmed up for when I ring to buy tickets then....

The primary responsibility of "preparing (their) children for school" should rest with parents, not nurseries. The main goal of nurseries, as I see it, is to help young kids integrate with each other to help shape their social skills. I prefer the Scandinavian model where children aren't "schoolifed" so early. IMO of course.

*Pedant alert* Isn't something on offer for "100% saving" actually 'free', or am I missing something...?

Yep, they've never been punished for general financial misconduct in the way Luton did

No, it was for failing to honour the original CVA. And, yes, the football league bottled it by not carrying the penalty over to this season.

Which reminds me.... I wonder how Baker Tilly's forensic investigation into Pompey's accounts is coming along....? http://www.accountancyage.com/aa/news/2072292/baker-tilly-lawyers-portsmouth-fc-liquidation http://www.bakertilly.co.uk/SiteCollectionDocuments/RR/Special%20Investigations.pdf p.s. and WTF is that photo of a proper football stadium doing on the Pompey investigation page?

"TICKETS FOR THIS GAME WILL BE SOLD STRICTLY ON THE BASIS OF ONE TICKET PER QUALIFYING CUSTOMER NUMBER" Well, that rules me out then as I always buy two tickets for me and my son on the one customer number. How many people buy two match day tickets together using two different customer numbers? Bring Cortese back!

Bazza me ol' mucker.... Given the laws of probability dictate that there must be at least one 'skate' on a wind up on this forum, using your astute powers of observation, which poster(s) style do you think most closely matches the profile of such a WUM given its obviously nothing like yourself?

Yeah, but....constantly putting forward a less biased/fanatical view is simply expressing a diff'rent opinion, innit guv? It can't possibly be mistaken for trolling. No way Jose.

A good point BTF.... anyone got Birch's email address...? Would be a bit of a bummer if another CVA was proved to be invalid...

As someone pointed out earlier, I'm surprised that the football authorities allowed such a clause to be included in a player's contract as it could lead to a conflict of interests if Liverpool were to play Pompey in a deciding game at some stage during the contract period. (No tittering at the back!) Its a bit like a team betting on their opponents to win. Maybe someone should drop a quick email to the premier league to get their view on such a conflict....
