... or they could at the very least now concede that it was a good plan executed well. I doubt it though, I'm sure they'll slip off quietly into the darkness, awaiting the next "drama" to unfold, returning once more to offer their pearls of wisdom. Well done the police btw.

But where are the FoB's to confirm this? They all told us it was going to be a disaster. No, they assured us.

I don't understand why peolple don't want us to go up, that's absolutely mental. If we don't go up, there is a good chance of we'll lose a lot of our better players and face the disruption of having to try and replace them. If we do go up, we get £60m and have a fantastic chance of staying up considering the poor quality of the EPL. And if we don't stay up, we go down with £60m in the bank which will give us a better chance than "building" for another season in the NPC. Absolute no brainer. PS: We have enough players in our squad who can hack it in the EPL. 3-4 additions short of being competitive, we're not too far off Norwich's q

Guly compounded a bad performance with that poor defending and I was wondering why he wasn't replaced at HT. Irrespective, mightily proud that apart from that moment we didn't bottle it and were the better team. Skates as always jammy, but we'll do them at SMS.

Whilst I don't think he should be anywhere near the top 100, Jonno Quick has to be given a special mention for sparking off the MK Dons recovery and ultimately, rescuing us from a very, very dodgy position.

Abso-bloody-lutely spot on.

Bugger.

So you didn't do one today then? I've scraped by today, 6 down, 3 to go now so hopefully it'll come in tomorrow; Manchester Utd v Wolves Liverpool v Q.P.R. Arsenal v Everton Celtic v Hearts Sporting CP v Nacional da Madeira Borussia Dortmund v FC Kaiserslautern Malaga v Osasuna Lille v Dijon AEK Athens v PAS Giannina

Anyone got any accy's today? I'm going for a 9 team (8/9 fold accy), teams emboldened to win; Manchester Utd v Wolves Liverpool v Q.P.R. Arsenal v Everton Celtic v Hearts Sporting CP v Nacional da Madeira Borussia Dortmund v FC Kaiserslautern Malaga v Osasuna Lille v Dijon AEK Athens v PAS Giannina £16 stake (£9 on the 8 fold, £7 on the 9 fold) pays £208.60 Anyone else having a punt this afternoon?

Haha, well, yes, in hindsight, it was a tad dramatic and out of character. Truth is, I enjoy coming on here too much to forsake logging on. That said, doesn't Dune have a smidgin of a point?

My, my, we're all on good form tonight! I trust Um is just jesting... or at least I'd like to think he is. He better be, or he'll never got my vote for FotB!

I'm stitching my loafters to the knee area of my suit and going as Ted Bates statue.

Right, I've cooled off enough to ask; WWAFOTBD?

Anyway, I think I'm going to leave this board now, proper. Moan, moan f()cking moan.. and it's now making me moan about the moaning. Best couple of years we've had in 15 odd years and we've still got irrational, moodswinging, wrist-slitting weirdos who complain about everything. Waaah, moss on the stadium, waaahhhhh car park prices, waaaaahhh I don't like the beer... it's no wonder Cortese would rather speak to people in a one-to-one basis as opposed to giving the floor to 300 dribbling sociopaths. Don't you think we had some bigger objectives to aim for other than lopping off a few clots of stadium support algae? Yes, you're going by coach. You've known that for months now. Get over it. And while you're at it, even if this copper had said the right thing, I've no doubt he'd still have been wrong anyway. Weeks before we've had the same old people with the same old agendas salivating at his next statement.* *And I shouldn't have to write a disclaimer, but I'm going to. That's not excusing what he said and I'm not disagreeing that going by coach isn't a bad idea, it is - I'm just keen to underline how f()cking boring it is listening to all this guff. WWAFOTBD? Bore me to f()cking tears. That's me done I think. Adios.

In times like these it's fair to ask: WWAFOTBD?* *what would a fan on the board do?

Oh yes

I thought this was going to be about Jordan Henderson

I was just thinking... Howabout a little challenge? Take over a considerably small club in one of Europe's leagues, give yourself a £5m transfer kitty but only £100,000 bank balance and spend as little or as much as you want. The only drawback is, the more you spend, the more pressure you've got to "win" something and secure the prize money - all of which helps if you don't want Mr Andronikou knocking on your door on behalf of the creditors. I'm calling it the "Pompey Challenge". Anyone in on it? FWIW, I think I'm going to take Kerkyra this way. I'm going spunk the lot and see if I can keep up with the big boys in the Greek Superleague. Basically, I'm going to have to qualify for your Europe this year if I want to stay solvent

Ah, what the hell, here you go; and another of their famed "away days" with the blue army...

If I find the time, I am definitely going to do some more LOL@Skates stuff!

I'll have a look a bit later, but if IIRC, you should be receiving loads of offers from South American agents by now, assuming you've started! Decided that to really get into a game I'm going to want to really "feel" the club I'm playing for and the area it's in. In this instance, I'm going all nostalgic and taking over Kerkyra in Greece; Better known to us Anglophiles as Corfu. Tiddly club, tiddly stadium, tiddly budget, tiddly squad, big ambitions. Why? Because I holidayed there several times as a child and once as an adult and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. OK, so here goes...

Philadelphia Union laughed off my interest... then offered me the job. :-/

I can feel an Israeli/Jewish girl thread coming on... they're curious-looking creatures, aren't they? Seriously though, would love to go and visit myself.
