So, to recap.....we're in a better position (holistically) than Norwich were this time last season?

James Pearce @Pearcesport Jury's been hearing from Alan Hills at HSBC private banking in UK. He was Redknapp's banking relationship manager Hills told the Court that Redknapp didn't tell him about the Monaco account until 2008 - nearly 6 years after it was opened Hills said he would have expected to have been told much earlier about Monaco account Hills said at one stage he'd requested details of Redknapp's assets and liabilities, and Redknapp hadn't mentioned Rosie47 at the time Hills said his surprise at not knowing about Rosie47 was even greater because he worked for HSBC. Rosie47 was held in HSBC Monaco When Redknapp told Hills in 2008 about Monaco account Redknapp didn't give him any paperwork but told him there was a code word - Rosie47 Hills said he was intrigued by origin of code word and asked Redknapp for reason. Redknapp told him Rosie was his dog's name Hills was asked by Redknapp to get the account in Monaco closed. Hills named the move to do that "Project Rosie" Short break now and then jury will begin to hear recordings of Redknapp's interviews with the police We are going to have an early finish today as judge has other business, so Court will sit until 1330 with no lunch break and then finish During cross examination of Hills, Redknapp's barrister revealed R made "disastrous investments" including £250,000 loss in Oxford United

North One TV sold North One Sports to CSI (around this time last year IIRC), so no, CSI are not part of North One Television / All3Media

James Pearce @Pearcesport Here's your first update of the day from Redknapp/Mandaric trial. Jamie Redknapp back from last night's match in Liverpool to be here again Court's been watching video link from Monaco. David Cusdin evidence. He worked at HSBC bank there where Redknapp's Rosie47 account was held David Cusdin told the Court that Redknapp had sole responsibility for Rosie47 account. Redknapp was sole signatory In order to open an account at the bank in Monaco Cusdin said "a client had to be well introduced" by a current client Redknapp's introduction to HSBC in Monaco was made by Milan Mandaric Redknapp has been watching video link from the dock, alongside Mandaric. Redknapp wearing glasses and studying bank documents carefully Jury has been shown copies of details of Rosie47 account. Court told in 2003 Redknapp faxed David Cusdin instruction to transfer $100,000 That $100,000 was from Rosie47 to First Star International in Florida. R's fax ended with "Many thanks for your cooperation, Harry Redknapp" Edit: oops, beaten to it by Pedg

You can see the revenue's point but they should also appreciate CSI pulled out so we haven't avoided paying That's it....I officially give up....can't compete with that logic....

It's ok....they've re-worded it now....I think they got away with it.....no-one noticed apart from us....

Same old Tories!! ;-)

Matt Partridge @mjpartridge1 @pn_neil_allen I love how UHY told the News that the collapse of NOS would 'have no affect on #pompey' Retweeted by Neil Allen Pompey fan in "I should have checked the Saints Web Forum rather than rely on the local media" shocker.... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/campaigns/passion-for-portsmouth/news/administrators_say_criticism_by_club_is_unfair_1_3454832 THE administrators of Pompey’s parent company CSI have defended themselves against criticisms from the club. Yesterday Portsmouth Football Club said in a statement that it was given assurances by UHY Hacker Young and Portpin Ltd that the club would be funded until a new owner was found. ‘This has not happened,’ it added. But a partner in the accountancy firm and joint CSI administrator, Peter Kubik, said the firm had not withheld any information from the club at any point since they were appointed. He said: ‘We believed that we could put money into Portsmouth to keep it going while an owner was found. ‘The jewel in the crown of CSI’s assets was North One Sports which held the rights to the World Rally Championship. ‘We were not able to sell it because the FIA cancelled the licence. ‘Before that happened we had a very seriously interested party talking to us before Christmas. They pulled out at the last minute and we still do not know why.’

Trying out clever humour is always a Hazzard on here

Anyway, when will they be holding the referendum for the rest of the UK citizens? All we've heard about thus far is the Scottish people's right to vote on the break up of the UK....

Or....'should Scotland separate from the UK?' Or, use the same phraseology that was used for the Northern Ireland sovereignty referendum in 1973: "Do you want Northern Ireland to remain part of the United Kingdom?"

Frottage

You're right. I've just read it back and you were indeed more ambiguous than I gave you credit for... ;-)

As much trouble as Ken Dodd's dad's dog?

Now we're getting somewhere... ;-)

And the kit man's son heard it from...? (this could be s long evening)

Not in my daughter's Catholic school it isn't. My daughter couldn't be anymore sceptical about religion if she tried and the school don't discourage this. Her RE lessons objectively cover all faiths as well as atheism and agnosticism (if that's a word?!)

Agree with a lot of what you say there. People conveniently forget that Labour planned to cut at pretty much the same rate as the Tories. For every £18 of 'Tory cuts' Labour had planned to cut £17 (or thereabouts). So they are being a tad disingenuous and opportunistic when painting a picture that suggests their cuts would have been far less severe. Alastair Darling's speeches and interviews just before the general election are revealing.

It would have been a lot higher without the Tory intervention so it is a reduction in relative terms... Cue the predictable Trousers put down from Mr V... ;-)

I see what you did there.... ;-)

Ssshhhhhh.....

1/2: @pn_neil_allen: RT @pompeyblue1980: So HMRC issued the petition to wind us #pompey up on the 3rd of Jan so the club have known about this for a while Sharp as a sponge this Pompey lot...

I wouldn't know as I don't work in the banking sector.... ;-)
