Andy Rockall ‏@Statto_74 West Ham will play Lusitanos in the first round of the Europa League. In case you haven't heard of them, #WHU are from East London.

I can see quite a few West Ham fans taking up crash courses in rock climbing if they stick to their home ground.

I wonder if they're thinking of chartering a few planes and selling seats directly to fans?

This was my favourite 'SarniaSaint' thread: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?t=51089 Whilst its way behind this one in terms of bite count, its quality over quantity every time for me when it comes to wind-up threads.

The amount we're paying these new guys to sit on the beach is a scandal. Just think how many operations or school teachers that could pay for. That's the only downside of these early transfers IMO.

Crossroads? Showing your age a tad there FF

We've certainly slipped down the Premier League "if only English goalscorers counted" table... We were top once upon a time...

What were the shances of that?

*Waits to see if see if St Chalet refutes this one too before deducing that Saint-Armstrong must be right*

Forgive me fellow nutjobbers for having lost the plot on this one, but if this forensic investigation unearths significant historic financial wrong doings, could Pompey face retrospective sanctions? Or to ask it another way, how similar is this to what happened to Luton Town a while back when, if I recall correctly, they received retrospective punishment due to the misdemeanors of previous owners? Does the fact that Pompey are now a different corporate entity shield them from such an eventuality?
