Q.E.D.

Nothing that hasn't been posted on here before. Just a link to Rupert Lowe's favourite ex-Barclays banker's profile page at Begbies Traynor

Very much this. A blessing in disguise if I ever saw one.

Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC · TV GAMES: #SaintsFC’s fixtures against @Arsenal, @ManUtd and @chelseafc in December will be broadcast live on television. #SaintsFC’s trip to @Arsenal on Wednesday 3rd December will be broadcast on @btsport. Kick-off remains at 7.45pm GMT. The visit of @ManUtd will now take place on Monday 8th December with an 8pm GMT kick-off time, live on @SkySports. #SaintsFC’s home game on Sunday 28th December against @chelseafc will also be live on @SkySports. Kick-off is now at 2.05pm GMT.

My diatribe was based on this quote from the above Neil Allen gloat-fest article: "The bulk of such legacy debts over the past 18 months have been settled through the parachute payments from those Premier League days – windfalls which have now finished.As part of the process, Brown personally re-negotiated early settlements with those owed – including all former players. Actions which prompted large savings." That sounds like football debts not being paid in full to me.....unless this whole sorry saga has rendered me a jibbering buffoon of course.....

I assume this has also happened....? http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-pledge-to-pay-2012-small-creditors-every-penny-1-5468026

So, let's get this right.....they are "debt free" because they yet again diluted the debt they had to pay back rather than actually paying it back? (Debt that had already been watered down by 96% via CVA1 and CVA2 of course) Excuse me while I give HSBC a call.... Me: "Hello, HSBC?" HSBC: "Yes, how can we help?" Me: "I'd like to clear my mortgage debt with you please" HSBC: "Ok, no problem sir. You owe £100,000. How would you like to settle that sum?" Me: "I'd like to offer to pay a percentage of £4,000" HSBC: "Excuse me sir?" Me: "Didn't you hear? I want to pay you less than 4% of my debt" [Line goes dead] Same old Pompey....always cheating....

Bingo

People do realise that they are responding in exactly the way Pap wants them to respond, don't they?

Answer: We'll never know.

Sods law that Spurs choose today to start playing like Saints of last season. One open goal miss away from a draw. Still in 3rd place with Sunderland and Stoke to come at home. Onwards and upwards.

Mane FFS! 5live: "Shocking miss"

Next two games at home to Sunderland and Stoke. Excellent chance for 6 points out of 9 from 3 games.

Saints close! Great save Lloris from Wanyama shot

5live saying Pochettino made a point of not celebrating the goal.

Spurs hit the post

Cock

Shaw injured and coming off

2-1 Utd
