Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Schneiderlin back in full training today after knee injury so could play for #SaintsFC this weekend. #FFC too soon for Cork, though.

You'll need another packet for when Rallyboy gets his literary teeth into this one!

Pretty much all of those.... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/appy-pompey-denied-in-bid-to-scrap-crewe-visit-1-4335915 That's made my day that has. Someone at Pompey having the gall to bang on about integrity and fair play....maybe if you weren't trying to cheat in League One by fielding internationals in your team then you wouldn't have the 'problem' in the first place....

The 'joke' was unintentional but reading it back I can see how people might think otherwise. Apologies for the bad choice of words.

That's a decent piece of analysis. Would be good to have a sticky thread with a weekly update to the 'current state of play' table: [TABLE=class: sbnu-legacy-content-table] [TR] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD=width: 70]MINIMUM[/TD] [TD=width: 79]MAXIMUM[/TD] [TD=width: 55]ACTUAL[/TD] [TD=width: 75]+/- MIN[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]READING[/TD] [TD]4[/TD] [TD]8[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]-2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]VILLA[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]13[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]0[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]QPR[/TD] [TD]7[/TD] [TD]10[/TD] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]-5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]NORWICH[/TD] [TD]7[/TD] [TD]10[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]-4[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]SO'TON[/TD] [TD]6[/TD] [TD]7[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]-3[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]SWANSEA[/TD] [TD]10[/TD] [TD]16[/TD] [TD]7[/TD] [TD]-3[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]WIGAN[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]10[/TD] [TD]4[/TD] [TD]-1[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

Sorry...sadly not....just a feeble attempt at humour on an internet football forum....(these attempts usually end in failure!)

I'll ask him at the 'Dinner with Cortese' evening that I'm attending next Tuesday

Paying to have a poo used to be commonplace when I were a lad. Remember those toilet doors with a coin slot on them? So if that nasty Mr Cortese was to do this he would be resurrecting a much loved British tradition of 'spending a penny'. Turns out he's a nostalgic old fool after all :-)

Meanwhile....back in the time-stretching world of PKF... http://m.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/portpin-comeback-it-s-a-no-for-2-700-fans-1-4336756 Btw, I trust ( ) that they weeded out the duplicates and toast related spoofs from that list of "thousands" of signatories?

No worries m'lud :-)

Ah....ignore my last missive Phil...I see what your game is now.... ;-)

FFS Phil...do us a favour and take your rational thinking elsewhere. I was rather enjoying the ignorance on display from our friends down the road. Now you've infiltrated that with some intellectual explanation it's gonna shut the buffoons up again for a few weeks. Jesus wept. I pay £5 a year for the privilege of watching the 'blue phew' making arses of themselves on here, not for them to curl up in balls of silent ignorance for weeks on end. Sort it out FFS.

Can anyone recommend a decent fletcher in the area? I need my fletchings replaced. Cheers

Janet Street Porter was on Question Time just now saying that she "knew what was going on in BBC dressing rooms in the 70s and 80s, as did many others" but that they never raised it with the relevant management or authorities as they knew they wouldn't be taken seriously. I can see this one growing exponentially over the coming days/weeks.

Talking of ex-posters throwing their toys out of their pram....sounds like Appy isn't happy for a change... @pn_jordan_cross: In The News tomorrow, Appy's blunt message to the league, latest on Thomas' future, McLeod on his #MKDons return plus all the other preview.

I take it they haven't got their speed typist on the case? :-)

Possibly

I've not done it primarily for interest rate reasons (unless there's a 0% interest promotion). I do it to preserve my savings. Yes, I could spend, say, £1000 of my savings and pay it back into my account, at the same sort of pace that I would have paid the loan at, but sometimes it's simply more convenient to take out a loan, especially when the money is in a minimum notice savings account in order to attract higher rates of interest in the first place... The bottom line is we simply don't know why Cortese has gone down the loan route on this occasion. The reason could be completely logical or it could be more sinister. We could spend 50 page speculating which and still be none the wiser.

I've taken out loans to buy things when I've already got the money in a savings account that I could have used to buy the items outright. Nothing unusual in borrowing money to preserve your savings.

Or maybe offering up more security lowers the interest rate? Who knows...

Rallyboy old chap....any chance you could donate some of your spare sperm to Lady Trousers? We'd like to have your babies.

I doff my cap to you too sir. A good team effort!
