Nope. 'Rule' is also a noun :-)

Rather than have a thread for every player we'll be linked with between now and August, perhaps we should have a single thread for players we aren't being linked to. That way we keep the whole speculation malarkey down to 14 posts..... :-)

1/2: @pn_neil_allen: RT @pn_Emma_Judd: Apparently there are rumours that the charges against Vladimir Antonov, former #Pompey chairman, have been dropped. 1/2: @pn_neil_allen: RT @pn_Emma_Judd: To clarify: Lithuanian prosecutors have told @portsmouthnews that charges still stand against former #pompey chairman Vladimir Antonov

Yes, you are correct. Precisely the same thing happened with the definition of "Boxing Day" (i.e. over time, the definition was evolved to match common usage by dim people)

Does anyone have a link to websites for budget 'motels' in Europe? I'm thinking the equivalent of Travelodge and Premier Inn in the UK. Looks like I might be driving down to Italy in the summer and we'd want to stop overnight somewhere 'functional' (i.e cheap!), either based at a motorway service station or close by a junction. Looking at a map of Europe, Lucerne in Switzerland looks about the right sort of location to stop over distance and time wise (were probably going to be based near Rome initially) Cheers (Sotonjoe....apologies for hijacking the thread somewhat here but as the subject matter was the more or less the same as my own enquiry I thought it might make more sense to lump it into one thread)

Wouldn't it be quicker to bump the other Murty thread covering exactly the same 'debate'?

Not fussed

Stuffed crust?

Whenever I post the first response on a thread we win 3-1

Oops! Cheers :-)

What did it say originally? Cheers

I think this report acts as an invite to all creditors (known or otherwise) to step forward with their claims so I don't think the list of creditors is ever watertight at this juncture. That said, there's no danger of Pompey's finances ever being "watertight"....

I'm ashamed to admit that question came from yours truly... :-)

Nah....I never had him down as a 33 year old.... We're all in a very good mood this afternoon...what's occurring? :-)

Adrian Durham (TalkSport) just read out the administrator's announcement about the possible liquidation. He obviously hasn't been made aware of the new list of creditors yet otherwise he would have gone ballistic. Then Darren Gough said "They've still got a decent stadium though". To which Durham replied: "You're joking!? It's the pits!"

It's a man that wears black and officiates at football games, but that's not important right now

You should know what us blokes are like when it comes to reading information that we have to go to the trouble of opening first :-)

You're putting backpacking around Australia above going to watch Saints week-in, week-out? Some people aren't going to be happy about that. p.s. Enjoy....will miss your posts (genuinely)

Matt Slater ‏ @mattslaterbbcSo, newco #RFC COULD start next 2 yrs on -10, lose 75% of SPL £ for 3yrs & miss Europe til 2015. Price worth paying to dump debt? Stephen D ‏ @stephend_1 90 seconds with a calculator shows that it is a superb deal for #RFC but the death blow to meritocracy and sporting integrity

Sky Sports ‏ @SkySports Rangers administrators have been forced to delay the announcement of a preferred bidder for the Ibrox club . More on site soon. Hmmm, wonder what's going on up there...maybe one of the bidders has seen Pompey's administration report and decided they're a much better proposition....

Matt Slater ‏ @mattslaterbbc Scary thing for #pompey is there's not much of a gap between going concern & wind-up values, £73m/£59m - are they 'worth' saving?

Matt Slater ‏ @mattslaterbbc I also spotted a familiar name amongst the agents, lawyers, other clubs etc, write something for the prog @AndrewWarshaw?!
