Christ. It never rains but it pours...

The actual winding-up petition will be heard some time next month (11th, I think) - they have from now until then to find the money. Good luck to them, they're going to need it...

Did I read somewhere recently that they're putting Gran Turismo 5 back indefinitely?

Well he didn't guess that being told before taking the Newcastle job that they were going to be appointing people to take care of transfers meant that he wouldn't be in control of transfers, so I'm not that surprised

In order of likelihood - 2, 1, 3

It's quite amusing that StuRumourSaint has actually been proven right for once

Considering what else has gone on down there, I wouldn't be surprised...

I used to do this - you should just need a video capture card, and then the relevant cables to go between your Sky+ box (red/white audio cables and yellow video cable) and your PC. The capture card will come with software that will allow you to view and record the Sky box content - although it cannot access the hard-drive directly, it will basically just capture what's displayed on screen, so if you press the pause button on the Sky remote, the pause icon will display on the captured video. Dunno if anyone's managed to come up with a way of accessing the video on the Sky+ hard drive yet - I presume it's encrypted and paired to the viewing card, so that could be pretty tricky.

I thought he sold his place in Belbins? Pretty sure it was in the Romsey Advertiser (a proper paper ) back then... "man sells house" makes front-page news

Might be worth investigating whether it works out to be quicker from Clapham Junction - there's a direct service from there to MK/Bletchley at 17.36 which takes about an hour and 20 mins. I think the Euston train requires a change.

Romsey

Yep. Absolutely no hint of a conflict of interests there

Pretty sure the dispute is over PAYE contributions.

That must have taken him hours to write...

Yes and yes.

Redknapp, I'd have thought. Desperation appointment, and he'd have haggled his way to a fortune as a result.

Can't argue with most of that, although it would be a bit of a surprise if we get past Ipswich on Saturday. From a purely selfish point of view, I could do without us getting to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup as that would mean the Tranmere away game being moved to a midweek!

Surely then, by pure mathematics, we can afford to drop approximately 0.7 points per game...

Torres out for 6 weeks, Benayoun out for a month, Gerrard out for 2 weeks. It's only going to get worse before it gets better

Haven't been keeping totally up to date on this thread, so don't know if it's been posted already, but here's a well-written article on the whole situation: http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=4281

This is going well...

From what I've seen of him in the last couple of seasons, I'm particularly underwhelmed by this signing, to be honest. Hoping he's one of those players who just needed a fresh start somewhere...

We use vBulletin. RSS feeds are a feature of the new version of the software, so that'll be done - not sure about WAP/mobile posting though.

That was one of the most tedious games I've seen for a very long time.
