Just heard. Stunned and speechless. Am on holiday and just received several text messages from friends and family. Rest in peace Mr Liebherr.

And eloquent too

"it's a funny old game, Saint"

Conclusive proof that Cortese isn't the only annoying sod at St Mary's

Yep. We always win the first game of the season when wearing red and White stripes. ;-)

...

It was certainly one of those games where I sensed that Reid would play a blinder in the dressing room at half-time. We seemed to come out expecting more of the same (i.e. space and time). It was as if Pardew hadn't drummed into them that they would need to be more wary of Plymouth in the second half and it sort of took them by surprise for the 1st half hour of the second half that they didn't have the space to play anymore. Just an observational hunch.

In a defensive or positive way?

Best moment for me was Fonte down the left wing crossing to Jaidi in the box..... :-)

Played well first half but missed Lambert big time. 2nd half - different game. Peter Reid obviously spotted the obvious in that Plymouth gave us far too much space and time in the first half. Plymouth one shot = one goal. Another day and we'd have won the game in the first half. Peter Reid's half time talk was the difference. Oh, and Lallana had a good cameo. With him and Rickie starting we will walk this league.... ;-)

Yep, that one is much better. Some excellent play by us.....would be 3 nil up by now if we had a certain man in the box....

But didn't HMRC only go for the 'extra' £13m in retaliation to AA 'inflating' the original debt figure? i.e. The really 'clever' bit was forcing HMRC into raising their claim in the first place, not the fact that HMRC then (inevitably) 'bungled' the detail of their increment. Why didn't the judge subject the amount AA increased the debt by with the same level of forensics that he gave to HMRC's increased amount?

Madjeski versus Cortese. Hmmm, interesting contest....

I think Deano should seriously consider this. And copy to the FA and FL. There simply doesn't appear to be any balanced forensics in the public domain.

Rings a bell. Wasn't there a 'Malta' thread a while back which might prove useful reference? (can't search easily on this iPhone gizmo)

Depending on your budget.... http://www.xarapalace.com.mt/xarapalace/home.aspx

My guess? 47 bites

Nice bluff Rickie ;-)

Did you have any say on whether the approach for Michael Owen went through or not?

Rickie, re-arrange these words to form a well known phrase: 'cheating' 'are' 'b***ards' and 'Pompey'

Sarah Beeney or Sophie Raworth?

Given it would appear that the Administrator is both architect and arbitrator of his own CVA then who's to say that it might just get 'signed off' as honoured regardless of how much money changes hands? All pure guesswork and supposition on my part of course.

Sshhhhh..... ;-)

or ?
