Yep, Part has arrived, but they've shifted his game back to the end

All of the players have finally arrived, so it's Game On!

Can someone do me a favour and find copies of the particular smileys you're after? Not promising to put them all on the list, but will probably do most of them.

Shaping up to be a very good game now. Why is it that our tail-enders have had to bail us out in the last two series? Bell and Trott's dismissals were ridiculous - they've both played with Harris at Warwickshire, they know he doesn't turn the ball!!

Given the reaction from within British Airways itself, I wouldn't have thought they'll get as big a vote next time around - it would be fair to say that all BA cabin crew have been given a somewhat "frosty" reception from their colleagues in the last couple of days.

Not a cat in hell's chance, there'd be hell to pay from the other 19 clubs. As I said a few days ago on another thread, the Premier League are probably hoping Pompey get relegated before they go into administration, for two main reasons. Firstly, they can wash their hands of it and say "not our problem"; secondly, to the ill-informed majority, it seems as though the Premier League is untarnished by it. The last team in England to withdraw mid-season was Aldershot in 1992 - largely thanks to this man. Bloke comes in promising money but it soon transpires he doesn't have a pot to p!ss in... where have we heard that one recently? It's certainly unlikely (although Stockport are in particularly dire straits right now), but I certainly wouldn't rule it out.

On the face of things, you would expect that Watford will ultimately be OK. They have two particularly prominent and wealthy fans, but both of them are involved to varying degrees with the club anyway (Lord Ashcroft is the largest shareholder and Elton John is the honorary president), and they're still f**ked! Pompey, I genuinely have no idea how that's going to pan out. Without some sort of RBS-esque bail-out, it's hard to see how they could get out of the situation they're in, or why anybody would put money into the club knowing that it'll disappear into one of many of the financial black holes.

Some time in the not-too-distant future, a relatively big club will go to the wall and there won't be someone to rescue them. Make no mistake, we got very very very lucky.

Good news.

Not really. It's got some clever stuff, but to be honest the only reason I bought it was for the massively extended battery life in comparison to Windows-based laptops, so I can get to London and back every day without having to charge it up between journeys. I use Windows at work (although I do connect to a Unix-based server quite extensively) and I've still got my Windows PC at home although it's somewhat dated now. The amount of software available for OS X is very limited, particularly when it comes to freeware (rather ironic when it's built upon a Unix/Linux architecture), and paid-for software appears to be that much more expensive on OS X compared to Windows. Ultimately, if you're comfortable with Windows and don't really need any of the stuff OS X offers which Windows doesn't, stick with Windows.

4 of the 15 stadia don't even exist at the moment, and another (the Olympic Stadium) isn't going to be suitable when it gets mostly demolished after the 2012 Games. What a shambles.

Just done it, I'm half a square above and half a square to the left of Arizona.

The Clipper's covered by Oyster PAYG from January as well

No, because they will have agreed terms on when they are paid. They may do what we did with the Theo Walcott and Gareth Bale transfers and negotiate a reduced but final settlement so they get more money immediately but less overall, but given that they'll be trying to negotiate with a club with a similar number of pots to p!ss in, I can't see how they'll get any agreement there.

Watford won't be due that much immediately because of the way transfer fees are generally paid these days. Most players are bought on hire purchase these days, so they'd only be due a relatively small percentage of the overall fees.

Previously, there's always been a limit of 10 options on a poll. I've only just noticed that there's an admin option to change this :oops:

Very much so. They issued a LSE statement a month or so ago saying that their chairman (who resigned prior to their AGM last night) loaned the club another £1m, and that they needed to find another £5.5m in order to get through the season. When Russo resigned last night (along with his brother), they also recalled their loans, which total £4.88m. Therefore, they need to find more than £10m this season. It's quite baffling considering their biggest shareholder is Lord Ashcroft, who I think is the 36th richest man in the UK

Hoolahan takes their penalties, so he'd have certainly taken one in the shootout.

Think they'll be on the BBC site from tomorrow.

The BBC text commentary corrected the booking to Doherty. How Lambert can complain about the incident when he's about 100 yards away and it's on the other side of about 4 players, I've no idea. It was right in front of me and it was very clear that Antonio's arm hit Holt in the ribs.

It's more powerful, probably a bigger HDD as well (although I get by perfectly well with the 80GB one on the standard Macbook). From reports I've read, the battery life on the Pro isn't as good as the standard model though.

Wotton took the 5th one. Lambert Papa Waigo James Lallana Wotton Hammond Antonio Thomas

The one in the first half was Doherty.

Similar to us, think they had two injuries to their regular first choice.
