Minsk

That's what I thought too.

This. Plus we sounded much better than last week. We are getting back to how we were earlier in the season.

Come on saints!!!!

Well done Rickie, now come on Saints and win it!!!!!!

bowlocks

Punch soundin very lively Corner and.... just over from Martin

Lee will deflect a Sharp shot into the net on the last day of the season to secure 17th place. Dalek, get off of my account!!!!! Lee will score today after replacing Connolly.

That team sheet gives me a lot more confidence than I felt last week standing in St Mary's listening to the starting 11. GOT TO WIN TODAY!!! COYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Berlin - Warsaw - Vienna - Prague - Kiev are all fantastic cities. Trains in this part of the world are inexpensive, and sleepers are good. I caught a train from Vilnius to Minsk last Sunday (3 hour journey) and it cost about the same as Eastleigh-Southampton. Minsk-Kiev (10 hour sleeper) last year cost about the same as Soutampton-London Waterloo.

Chaplow could be seen training in the interviews wit Nie and Kelvin on SaintsPlayer. Would be great to have him back, but doubt he would start. ----------------Kelvin------------------- Richardson--Fonte-----Martin------Fox Puncheon-----Cork----Morgan---Lallana -------------Lambert---Guly--------- Subs; Bart, Harding, Hammond, Chappers, Lee

That does not surprise me either.

That is extremely (un)funny - and just ever so slightly racist. Why am I not surprised??

I think the fairest thing to do would be to expunge last week's and this week's predictions from the table. However, as I believe this is really just a ploy by Steve to stop many from entering their predictions thus enabling him to move up the league table (providing HE scores any points) I doubt this will happen. (Joking, of course). On the off-chance he counts all predictions, including those on this thread, I'll go for 1-1.

Peter Kubik, one of UHY administrators: Mr Kubik revealed they had tried to challenge Pompey’s nine point deduction handed to them by the Premier League when the club went into administration. But he said this put the club’s advanced ‘parachute payments’ from the Premier League in jeopardy. Mr Kubik said: ‘The moment we mentioned that the funding was withdrawn. ‘Our legal advice said it was very difficult to challenge it, so we withdrew it and the funding reappeared. From - http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/lifestyle/tn2-saturday/a-weekend-with/pompey_probe_to_focus_on_former_owners_1_2388773 So they definitely were advanced some payments. Anyway, as previously mentioned, Lampit stated during his online Q&A session that they had the last 2 years payments (total of £16m) still to come.

And wait, what's this?: The Telegraph can even disclose that a pledge made in 2010 that small creditors owed less than £2,500 and charities would be paid in full remains unfulfilled. I'm certain that the Ho assured us that the charities had all been paid. Therefore, I expect The Telegraph to apologise for this statement, or for Lampitt to sue them, unless..............

I am certain that I remember Lampitt stating last month that they have 2x8m parachute payments still to come. So, that would ALMOST cover the unsecured creditors: then there's Chinny, Gaddy, CSI, wages, taxes, other bills, etc, etc - a tad more than 11m methinks!!!!!

Thanks, amended.

How could you not mention Glen Johnson and toilet seats in such a post??

Yep, got to agree, this Appleton chap is no fun at all. Far too sensible and also seems to be doing a good job to boot. I much preferred the Clot and Avram.

Don't be misled by Ho's 'inextricably linked as one economic entity' bullsh1t. That was merely the terminology used in our case. What is more important is the question as to whether Poopey gained an advantage over other teams with funds they received from their parent company which is now in administration. A simple way to discover the answer to that question would be for the FL to insist that they pay back the 10.8m immediately and in full (not 20p in the pound) or take a points deduction. If the money is handed over no advantage has been made, if not............. Now, hands up all those who think the Skates have a spare 10.8m down the back of the sofa.........

I thought he said, 'for one reason or another' not 'through injury or suspension'. Anyway, I can think of 11 injured/suspended: 1. Ricky 2. Frazer 3. Butters 4. Jaidi 5. Seaborne 6. SDR 7. Guly 8. Barnie 9. Connolly 10. Chappers 11. Fonte Then we have 12. Puncheon for whatever reason Then the out-on-loan players: 13. Forecast 14. Dickson 15. Dean 16. Saville So 13 was an underestimate. Any more???

Thats the end of their cup run. No more money to be made there.

eeerrrmmmm, how??????? Even a couple of hours before kick-off this game wasn't available to make predictions on.

I am about to collect my first ever infraction.......... How the feck can you say Adkins is Burley Mark 2?? Adkins got us automatically promoted (something you continually said he would not do last season) and now STILL as us sitting at the top of the league. You are a complete and utter cock, forever moaning and groaning about all things to do with Saints and NEVER having anything positive to say about the team or management. I have friends who are Pompey fans who are more complimentary about us than you. My grandmother always usede to say, if you have nothing nice to say - say nothing at all. Forgive me nanny for te following: Alps, for the love of God, please stop your continual *****ing, negative, ********!!! We are top of the ****in league, playing vitually our U21 side - and are now at 1-1, away from home - so just shut the feck up!!!!!!! Or at least say something constructive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
