6th due to their -2 Goal difference.

The BBC showing the possession is 50:50, that can't be right can it?

I hear its all dark there. If the floodlights don't come on in the second half I can see this match being abandoned!

Whole match a bit of a damp squib by the sounds of it.

A wonderful example of how much the banks are contributing to the country. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2011/feb/18/barclays-bank-113m-corporation-tax in 2009 Barclays made 11.6 Billion in profit and due to all the various tax avoidance scheme paid a paltry 113 Million in corporation tax.

Well 'The News' obviously think Ben Haim is on his way. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/bygone-blues/d_day_looms_for_ben_haim_1_2424619 Note part of the URL being pompey-past/bygone-blues

I suppose they could be working on the theory that though they should be good enough to stay out of the bottom 3 given their squad there is still the real chance they will get a 10 point fine if storeyteller is found guilty. Given that quite possible scenario they would want to try to make sure not only are they not in the bottom 3 but that they are at least 10 points clear of the drop.

Added the bits he obviously missed out

Assuming there are any unshredded or 'lost' records for them to work with....

With the most recent bank error story I do think someone should come up with a pompey game based loosely on Monopoly. Players have to compete going round the board buying up players. Obviously they only start with a little money but gain more each time they pass "Do no pay creditors" and also once the money has run out you can continue to buy anything you like by writing out an IOU. Just wondering what could be used as the game pieces? Small brown envelope, model of their flush new stadium, a rusty lump of iron to represent FP?

So I was wrong(ish). I think my point was that yes the creditors would have liked 100% of what they were owed but it was fairly obvious that they were only going to get a very small (at current rate zero) percent of their debt back whatever happened with the CVA and at least they could, unlike the inland revenue, make some positive use of the loss.

As I understand it, probably wrong, those businesses owed money could offset their loses to pompey against tax once the CVA was sorted so if that's the case they may well be saving much more money on their tax bills compared to the pennies they may get from pompey which may be viewed as a bonus if it ever arrives.

I think the HD catchup is down to the extra bandwidth this needs and I think when their network gets busy the HD catchups are the first to get the 'too busy, try later' message. If you try at a time when less people are trying to use catchup it may work (just has for me).

Virgin media are not that bad. Like all big broadband companies they have a proportion of their customers who have problems and as with the others it's generally the people who have problems who speak out about the quality of their service so you do tend to get a slightly bias opinion of a company like VM from looking online. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/o2-and-virgin-media-the-big-winners-at-broadband-awards-114919369.html

But its only a bit of 'Banter' isn't it Sergei??

In this case, because they were both irritating ****'s, yes! Yes they were 'stitched up' but, from what has been said from multiple sources. Yes they deserved it.

Sounds just like every bull****ting finance company press release. i.e. Not mentioning that his bonus will go up even if the company tanks.

Rupert Lowe said it about Paul Compton WH Ireland Group http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/W-H-Ireland-Group-Directorate-afxcnf-2960317692.html?x=0&.v=1 Where is my prize?

How do you know it was the worst that was said? Were you there?

I suggest you read the guardian article linked off here a few pages back about how women who worked in the football department at sky sports have confirmed that what was on the tape was exactly how bad they were and that there was a general feeling of happiness about the place after they had gone. I don't base my opinion totally on the youtube video I read about it from other sources to get an informed opinion. Maybe you should do the same.

So when you are having private chats do you also request a female colleague to stick her hand down your trousers? Surely if it was a private chat they would not have been recorded. I was not 'on air' but neither, with most of the studio listening in was it in anyway private. They may have acted as if it was a private chat but that is probably because they obviously believed that their control over those around them was such that it would not be reacted to.

He is not spot on as many in comments on that page have pointed out. Specifically being a) at work and b) miked up so almost everyone in the studio can hear them means that it was by no stretch of imagination a private conversation. If they had taken off their microphones and go outside to have their conversation where they could not be overheard by colleagues then they would not have been punished. If they had said the same down the pub together they may have got some odd looks but they would not have been punished. Its all about the surroundings and the context which people keen to compare it with 'banter down the pub' appear to ignore. As you your last point does that also mean that because there are people all around the country who are racist that it would have been fine for them to have made racist remarks as well?

You forget that the CVA payments have a remarkable similarity to a leprechauns pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Just as you think its close it moves further away.

Especially considering this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jan/30/wolves-jamie-ohara-loan-tottenham-hotspur
