Ah, oops, apologies....I forgot....those legacy debts are nothing to do with the current incarnation of Portsmouth Football Club..... And good to see that the board aren't concealing the value of the sponsorship deal from the club's "owners"....

They announced that the team wouldn't parade the cup in front of fans if any more people ran onto the pitch. So, it would have affected those wanting to see the team parading the cup.

What's stopping you? I could easily pay more tax too, but it would be at the expense of my charity donations.

Andrew Marr is a self-important little weasel apparently... http://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/top-stories/alex-salmond-accuses-andrew-marr-of-personal-bias-1-3342579 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/scottish-independence/10704063/Cybernats-Andrew-Marr-called-self-important-little-weasel-after-independence-comments.html

For someone who's likely to win manager of the year, just think what we can achieve when he stops "getting quite a lot of things wrong"...

Trousers in 'caught thinking out loud' shocker....

Bugger. And Reading are on top....

I've never instinctively been a fan of PR.... I guess because of the perception that it opens the door for crackpot parties (e.g. the BNP got over half a million votes in 2010 which would have got them 13 seats (2% of 650)).....but maybe there's a best of both worlds system..... i.e. proportional representation but only allocate seats to parties that poll more than, say, 5% of the turnout (i.e. c.1,500,000 votes based on 2010 figures).....?

The bottom line for me is that it can't be right that a party that gets c.3.5 million votes gets 5 seats whereas a party that gets c.1.5 million votes potentially gets ten times as many seats. Likewise, in the 2010 general election, Cameron's Tories got over a million more votes than Blair's Labour in 2005, yet Labour got 50 more seats than the Tories did in 2010. Something's not quite right

Arsenal take the lead. One step closer to Europe...
