Whitey Grandad

There are two types of men: those who give a single red rose, and those who give a whole bunch of them. Ask the ladies which they prefer.

Well spotted.

Exactly. Put the right figures in and you can make it mean anything you want.

If you support Pompey, that goes without saying.

No, just a cubic function. They can be solved analytically but it gets very tedious. :smt015

You can tell.

Yes, I can see your point. I'm not sure that they are the ideal midfielders for our current level and I would certainly like to see someone more dominating.

Contrast that reaction to Sir Alex Ferguson when they beat us, something along the lines of 'we might have scored more but they're a young team and they go about things the right way' ?

"We can smell you over here" - great chant that.

I also heard of an accountant there who had not been paid for two or three months.

I bet that's a conversation stopper at parties.

Could have been worse. A home draw minimises their income from the gate receipts.

It's happened to me twice at Fratton and once at Ninian Park.

They don't actually have a bank account any more.

Lallana also had a left-foot volley in the second half that plopped into James's arms. He has great skill and can hold the ball well but he can't kick through it with real power. When he learns that, he will be awesome, but at his age he should have done so by now.

More significant that moral values is the fact that they have signed a player and increased their liabilities immediately after a court has found that they are almost certainly trading insolvently. The extra money that they pay in wages could just have easily been paid back to the taxman.

I've been kept in for over an hour at other grounds, why is ours the only one where the away fans get preference?

Amen to that. I would be content with steady season-on-season improvement.

But that means that we can wave goodbye to them as we swap divisions. We might never play them again, even if they survive.

That's a very good point. Overall, not a bad result considering we were playing our reserve team.

I totally agree, but all we can do is get the best players that we can for this division, then get promoted and get the best players for the next. A journey of a thousand miles...

I'm sure that must be against League rules. Something about having a financial interest in more than one club?

We owe them more than they owe us. They get 45% of the proceeds.

Some people have no class. :roll:

It's a), but the middle vowel is shorter than 'ay'.
