Where have you got 64 from? 6th place Colchester have 63 points, Saints have 50 points.

Because they went into administration before March 27th. Saints went into administration after the deadline.

So you think Antonio is better than Puncheon? He really isn't! btw Antonio wasn't in the team that beat Norwich, Huddersfield, Walsall or Leeds

Haven't you noticed he hasn't been in a Saints squad for the last 4 games?

Why did you put the word genuine in brackets? Do you think that would stop someone flogging you fake ones?

What was that meant to mean?

How do you know either way?

I just received 3 x £34 tickets and 2 x £44 tickets, so they have.

I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to say? Pompey were only given 32k as will Spurs/Fulham due to club Wembley seats all being taken. It will be a 88k - 90k sellout.

Which law is that? Certainly one that has no foundation in reality.

Because administration for a club with running costs as large as Pompey can't last forever, they'd run out of funds from Chainrai. A creditors meeting has to be arranged relatively soon and AA said it will be in about 6 weeks time, the high court has forced there to be an initial one in 9 days from now.

HMRC have a history of not agreeing to anything less than 100p in the £ HMRC will be over 25% of the unsecured creditors If Pompey don't find a buyer in the next few weeks this is all irrelevant as they would be wound up instead.

They went into administration before the cut off of March 27th. Saints went into administration after the cut off hence why Saints were deducted this season and not last season. However it is unlikely that they will agree a CVA (due to the HMRC being over 25% of unsecured creditors and not signing unless they get 100p in the £1) and the Football League will hit them with a large points deduction for 2010/11. This may also be increased further, like Luton Town with around -25 points for financial irregularities.

Wayne Thomas is the 2nd choice(possibly 3rd behind James) right back and he is on a huge wage.

A 16 year old is being selected ahead of him on the bench atm so I'm not sure if he will.

They didn't. I can't see any news item from any site that says that. The Reading and Saints OS both say he is on loan. I think you may be confusing it with the Jon Otsmeobor deal where he was released by Norwich and signed for Saints on a 6 month deal. Prove it by providing a link from a credible source.

Antonio is not a Saints player.

Be good if true. But hard to believe, as Saints haven't had more than 20k for any midweek league game this season.

You are both being harsh on NickG when he is in fact correct... http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=756488&sec=england&cc=5739&cc=5739

Sorry, its late and only skim read what you put. I know really you aren't an Alpine or Glasgow.

I didn't say it was an excuse. I'm just saying it is hard to criticize Pardew because over a long period (i.e. the last 24 games) he has made Saints into a team that is earning enough points to win this League if form is maintained. Yes, I know the season didn't start in October, but it bodes well. Makes Cortese's recent comments about League performance a little harsh. Pardew turned it round 5 months ago.

No, as it is handed out by two different governing bodies, each with their own rules. However there is no chance imo that the Premier League won't give them a deduction. They'd be uproar from Burnley, Hull, Wolves etc. The administrator is being foolish if thinks they will. He is just exploring every possible method of making a poor investment more inviting for an investor.

Been discussed before but it really is shocking! Saint's form over last 24 games since the start of October is League winning P W D L F A GD PTS 24 14 6 4 51 23 28 48 Apply that form over a whole season and you would be on 92 points after 46 games. Even with the -10 points that would make 82 points and good enough for the playoffs. Shame Saints had a rubbish first 10 games whilst Pardew put the team together. First 10 games... P W D L F A GD PTS 10 1 6 3 10 12 -2 9 Those first ten games killed the season. Still possible to get 83 points so playoffs can be made and likely to need to win 11 of the next 12 games.

Saints are between 6/1 and 10/1 with most bookies atm for promotion. http://www.bookies.com/football/england/league-one/promotion/

Otsemobor is a better right back than Thomas.
