  1. It is, yes
  2. When was that?
  3. A good point well made.
  4. Unlikely, it's an FA requirement that a programme is produced.
  5. Sounds rather like third-party interference to me...
  6. I'm intrigued how Portsmouth North appears to have two MPs
  7. That one game will be voided, but all remaining games in your accumulator will still count, with revised combined odds.
  8. All of Pompey's buses will be provided by Lucketts, apparently. Or at least Lucketts will be the main contractor and might subcontract for extra vehicles if they need them.
  9. I'm led to believe that, despite all the logic that suggests otherwise, Lampitt was NOT parachuted in by the FA to keep an eye on things. He genuinely saw it as a career opportunity down there, with a massive pay-rise to boot.
  10. *whoosh* Observe... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8538829.stm
  11. You're 'avin' a larf, mush!
  12. https://twitter.com/#!/SneakyFC/status/165386999199580160 Turns out the CSI investment into PFC is actually £17.2m, not the £10.8m previously stated...
  13. Apparently Stephen Henderson and Joel Ward wanted Ipswich to triple their Pompey pay in order to move there, so Ipswich walked away. The bean-counters at Portman Road have missed a trick there, as anyone with half a brain knows that 3 x £0 = £0
  14. Where did you hear that? The voices in your head? If we wanted to get rid of an individual, we'd do so, it's no big deal.
  15. For the record, this issue had nothing to do with the change in admins/moderators. Not my business to intervene, it's a private matter between Jill and DSM.
  16. I'm also struggling to remember Beckham ever scoring a hat-trick. Edit: oh, and Beckham left Man United in the summer of 2003. Remind me, when did Pompey get promoted?
  17. It's a bit "Setanta" with all that yellow, but I like some of the functionality they've brought in, especially having live scores from a variety of European leagues as well as UK ones.
  18. So Venables (banned from serving as a director for 7 years in 1998 for "bribery, lying, deception, manipulation of accounts and taking money that should have been given to creditors") and Mandaric (currently in court on tax evasion charges, in case you hadn't noticed) weren't dodgy? :lol: :lol: :lol:
  19. It's because "emergency" loans are allowed outside the window, but loans between clubs in different countries are actually conducted as permanent transfers, with the player's registration being held by the loaning club, but a legally binding agreement being written that obliges the loaning club to return the registration to the parent club at the end of the loan period. As a result, because we already held his registration, all we effectively did was extend his contract from 3 months to (I assume - can't be bothered to look it up again) 3 years, paying Celtic whatever fee it was to cancel the "return his registration to us" contract. Massive loophole there, and only available to us because the Football League allows loans outside the transfer windows. A Premier League club wouldn't have been able to do it.
  20. That seems very low. When we got in the playoffs in 2007, we scraped in on the last day with 75 points!
  21. Not entirely convinced that account's actually him, seems to be one of those auto-generated ones that only ever gets used to post links to his articles.
  22. Apologies, my mistake
  23. Since when did you turn right-wing?
  24. Perfect timing for Bates, means that any new manager won't be in a position to demand a big budget to get the team in the play-offs.
  25. Charlie Sale is your man there, he's a Saints fan...
