I walk past there everyday....will keep an eye out...

Maybe they go to more away games because they don't have to travel so far each time, but totted up they end up travelling more miles overall than, say, an average Newcastle fan who probably goes to less games. Or, there again, maybe not.

No.

Top suggestion

Pele in one of his better positions?

We're diverting funds from the hitherto shelved Monkey-Chicken Petting Zoo scheme

Mods - suggest we change the thread title to "Pele - he was an OK midfielder for us"? ;-)

As it was a PLC in 'those days', won't the publicly available accounts hold the answer to the "where did all the money go?" question....?

As Jim Royale would say: "Fax, my arse!!"

;-)

Indeed. Alas, I don't have any magic formula to explain why most politicians fall into the 'wrong' bracket rather than the 'right'

I tend to disagree. The questioner was wondering why "party X" omitted a policy from their manifesto. By using other examples, I was simply highlighting that it is something that happens all the time, regardless of political party. The questioner was 'picking' on the Tories as his example of this human behaviour. I simply picked on a few Labour examples in the interests of balance. :-)

The former Sky Sports presenter and commentator will make their debuts on the UK's only national commercial speech station on Monday, Febraury 14 and will host a new daily show every weekday between 10am-1pm." Starting on Valentine's Day of all days.... :-)

This game has got 0-0 written all over it

All I'll say is that he's an extremely nice chap when you get to know him. Heart very much in the right place.

Commentators singing the praises of our academy

Fair point Mods - perhaps change the title to something more generic? e.g. "Cortese clarifies the current position (again)"

As you're quoting an un-biased Guardian article, a spelling mistake in the title would seem rather in keeping.... ;-) To answer the question though...."Why wasn't this included in their manifesto?"....for the same politicial reasons that Labour didn't have "We pledge to start illegal wars" or "we will sell all our gold" or "we will rob your pension" (etc etc) in theirs, one assumes.....? ;-)

Alive and well..... ;-)

Do you think someone ought to put these chaps out of their misery....? http://www.portsmouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=12749&posts=21 PompeyFcMad Posted 8/2/2011 11:48 #117589 - in reply to #117587 Subject: Re: Russian Bankers Posts: 3050 Location: Portsmouth/North End http://www.converssport.com/our-team.htm Looks professional and there main thing is sport, so you never know. Looks alright, but we never know with Pompey.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/8310643/Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain-remains-part-of-Southamptons-five-year-plan-despite-interest-from-Liverpool-and-Arsenal.html “The negative side of all the speculation was that it messed up quite a few deals that we tried to do. You can imagine every time we put a bid in, people were, ‘wait a minute, you are just about to cash in £10 million’. We lost out on one deal despite the fact that we had the best offer.” Apologies for uplifting a post from the Chamberlain thread but I felt the 'side-effect' of the Chamberlain situation warranted a separate discussion. So, it would appear that several targets were missed in the January transfer window....
