Credit where credit's due. 2 points from the last 15 is not to be sneezed at. They've clearly turned a corner under the firm grip of Awford.

WTF?

As rb has already pointed out, they're collecting a bit over £200 average per ST, and spending most of that before a ball is kicked in earnest in the league season. Their biggest problem is Fratton Park, a huge money pit in it's current state for a 4th division club to keep licensed. At the moment they're keeping their certificate by a combination of * Conscript labour free of charge from the Job Centre * Fans with hammers and paintbrushes * More investment from their directors, in exchange for shares If there's any money from Tesco it will disappear down this hole too. To stabilise their finances, even with their crowds, they either need to get promoted or get rid of FP. I don't see either happening any time soon, so another financial crisis looms.

Wot he said

There must be at least 20 spaces there. Thanks Tesco

No worries. We don't own our club.

Is this QI?

Sometimes when you haven't got the faintest idea what you're talking about, it's best just not to post anything.

Don't be daft

And who could forget Guly the goal machine at SMS 3 years ago.

Shame

I'm slowly coming round to the view that war probably isn't a good thing, for either side.

Saints Web Forum. pffft. Don't you know anything?

Those prices don't look cheap to me for 35 years ago.

I think he would fit well under the UKIP umbrella: "Vote for us because the other lot done it wrong"

Something is afoot. The signs are there. Not talking to the local papers any more. Staff departing suddenly. General meetings without audited financials. Tesco deal shelved. It's coming.

Wasn't it all a bit " One flew over the cuckoo's nest"? He spent seven and a half episodes chasing dirty old men and ends up getting arrested for being a dirty old man.

Ten. Ten, I meant ten. I'm sure all the guys in Brum are dead straight.

I'm sure the bear already knows that Birmingham has just been voted one of the top men cities in the world.

It's not really a diving area unless you're hardcore. The water's pretty cold, and rough most of the time. It can get pretty stormy. You could maybe dive in False Bay but I'm not sure what you would see. Spend a day at the Aquarium at the Waterfront instead. And as Euro said, it's not in the safari belt. You need to go inland, and north of the Karoo, for that. Go and see the penguins at Boulders. You'll probably come across some baboons as well if you follow the coast road south from there. If you're going up the mountain get there early if you don't want to spend the day queueing for the cable car. The gardens at Kirstenbosch are a decent half-day out if you're into that sort of thing. Great restaurants and great wine though. And good to get out before the tourists arrive in December.

I live in an alcohol-free State (most of the time). You get used to it. My tipples when I go out: Red Bull Iced tea Coffee Fruit juice-based cocktails Only occasionally do I resort to coke/sprite/Fanta etc. The supermarkets are full of alcohol-free lagers and malted drinks, but I wouldn't bother with those.

Be careful, you can't call him a cheese eating surrender monkey any more, 'coz he might be black.

I think it was Sunday school

It's a cunning plan to keep the board perpetually on the upside of the swing-o-meter. Replace the manager every six months. That way nobody can blame the incumbent, because he's always lumbered with the previous villain's useless squad of timewasters, and when the o-meter swings, then the board gallantly step in to sack the current useless villain and replace him with a new hero. The "shareholders" will make sure the villain doesn't dare ask for compensation. All while saving the club in their spare time.
