  1. Norris is going to skates I think.
  2. Believe it when I see it.
  3. If your bro wants to buy three more I would be very grateful!
  4. Arse. If you know of anyone who can get me three tickets (just rang a mate who also wants to go) then I am willing to pay a bit extra for te trouble.
  5. Any chance of getting me a couple tdd?
  6. Awful? I'm sorry but that look brilliant really. If we keep the sash for an extended period I will be annoyed. We are red and white stripes and I think the majority is in agreement with that.
  7. That and I want to see the celebrations if he scores against the skates next year.
  8. Yep. Sadly no chance of that happening over here. We need our 'league tables' as quickly as possible. Grrr.
  9. I agree, I just didn't want the debate to be about nursery being bad. It's really useful for a number of reasons which I won't go into because it will bore people.
  10. I think learning is important, especially things like numbers and letters which can really help with language and number skills later on. It's something we do of course and education is important but personally, I think it is of secondary importance to the love and care they receive and to the social skills of being with children from all different backgrounds. In Europe generally the emphasis is more on play and the social side and I think it is a much more healthy way to be. I am actually a very different person to the one who posts on here for a laugh lol.
  11. They most likely have a modest budget. Rather than say sign three players on just over 3K each, they will sign one on over 10K then moan about having no squad depth.
  12. That seems fair and reasonable to me. Nursery owners are an affable and reasonable breed.
  13. I agree.
  14. That isn't crazy. If they didn't pay then the nursery would be losing money because there could be another child in their place full time who does attend nursery when he is home on the holidays.
  15. It is a fact that sending your children to nursery AND spending time at home with them is the best way to bring up a child in general
  16. Lol so he did. That's funny. Amended.
  17. I would like to be the first to specifically request 2 tickets if anyone has any spare or cannot go. I can pay whenever.
  18. Loans: De Laet Halford, Cotterill Hogg Dickinson Out of Contract Hreidarsson, Nugent Will be Off Lawrence Mokoena Ciftci Ward so potentially left with Kitson (on huge wages) Flahavan, Mullins, Ashdown, Rocha, Kanu (lol two years left on his contract) and Webber although I'm not certain about Ciftci and Ward. We all know it won't happen like that though, Steve has already enquired about signing Halford and Cotterill permanently I believe. David Norris is widely reported as coming in and there will be other Kitson and Lawrence signings no doubt.
  19. Used to have him on an old football manager. He was my best player. Hero.
  20. Lets look at their starting 11 from Saturday: So out of a squad of eighteen, I make that just eight, if we are generous, that are evidence of Portsmouth looking to cut costs and not trying to gain an advantage over championship rivals that they cannot realistically afford (and only two if you just look at the starting eleven!) If I recall correctly, Ciftci and Ward are also being let go at the end of the season (apologies if not, I'm not a PFC expert.) It really is a wonder that the authorities haven't made more of an issue out of it. One other thing, I hear that Cotterill is researching the USA and Thailand as locations for their pre season tour. What a f*cking joke.
  21. Unbelievable that Clotterill is still advocating a quality over quantity approach yet wanting a bigger squad than this season on reduced wages. Seems like they are attempting a quality AND quantity approach to me, certainly in comparison to this season. Once again they are gambling with the finances in order to get players and produce performance which are above their status as a club. What's most galling is that they will bleat on about how hard done by they are the entire time! If they got a bunch of journeymen pros, played some of their youngsters with potential (I'm looking at the likes of Pack, Ciftci, Ward and Ritchie most of which I believe have either been sold for a nominal fee or given away) and adjusted to their realistic status as a club (somewhere above S****horpe I would suggest, where avoiding relegation should be deemed a success.) then they would gain a modicum of respect from he rest of the footballing world. At least when we went into admin we were consoled by the fact that we cut our cloth and did everything we could to avoid it. Following relegation we vowed we would never be in that situation again. The festering pile of rotting garbage that is PFC used admin as a get out of jail card, and means they can continue to offer contracts well in excess of what the majority of NPC clubs can afford, despite many of these clubs having higher attendances than them, higher sources of income and not having gone into admin writing off tens of milions in the process. It is disgusting that PFC have been able to payback a tiny percentage of what they owe so that they are free to spend remaining cash on the likes of Lawrence, Norris and Hogg, outbidding even wealthy clubs like QPR and Ipswich. They are a streaming open sore on the face of football and nothing would please me more than for them to be relegated next season, not for their previous indiscretions but for their continuing defiance which spits in the faces of the charities, schools and local businesses they have conned
  22. FFS does it really matter?
  23. Was it Hamilton Saint from Canada who was the world's biggest pedant on here?
  24. It annoys me that lose is spelt wrong.
  25. Come on saints. Nice easy Tuesday win. Weston Saint will be pleased as he got the 2-0 he wanted to complete the set!
