@adlallana1: RT @mattletiss7: @themichaelowen maybe the warmer south coast should be your next destination mate better for your muscles :-)

@pn_neil_allen: When Sol went up to lift the FA Cup, we were there, we were there. Four years ago today! #Pompey

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe where justice exists.... @BBCBreaking: Glasgow Rangers' appeal against £160,000 fine and 12-month transfer embargo rejected. Details soon http://t.co/qaxo6zmt @BBCJamesCook: SFA argues the ban was fair and proportionate given the "deliberate non-payment of very large sums" of tax. #Rangers #RFC @SkySports: Full story on Rangers losing their appeal against SFA fine and transfer embargo. http://t.co/rcRWuqAH "The disciplinary tribunal was correct to determine that the conduct involved - especially the deliberate non-payment of very large sums, estimated in excess of £13m of tax in the form of PAYE, NIC and VAT - was attributable to the club as a member of the Scottish FA. "Although the Appellate Tribunal has listened carefully to the representations from Rangers FC about the practical effects of the additional sanction, it has concluded that this sanction was proportionate to the breach, dissuasive to others and effective in the context of serious misconduct, bringing the game into disrepute."

Always used them. Never a problem. Small kids can't remove them and insert incorrectly as that article suggests as they are too stiff (I have trouble removing them). Our kids are now 12 and 15 and we still have a few knocking around the place.

I guess the League's counter argument is that most clubs wouldn't want to put themselves through what Pompey have gone through ergo there is already a natural deterent to going into Admin twice in quick succession and as such they don't need to suppliment this with points penalties. (well, maybe)

13:58 [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Comment From Penny Less Still staggered that 'getting the wage bill down' means paying players as little as £2000-£3,000 per week!!! Isn't this the crux of the matter? Most people struggling to raise a £1,000 share can derive little satisfaction from knowing that their hard-earned contribution will go no further than to pay one player's wage for 2 days!! We can go on about TBH's unsustainable salary, but I would guess that even 2-3 thousand a week is completely disproportionate to the average punter's salary. [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
