Work to start this month Work is due to commence later this month on developing a new club car park behind the north stand in Anson Road – and fans are being warned to expect disruption. The scheme is part of the deal which saw planning permission granted for a new Tesco superstore on land currently used by the club for its main car park. As a part of the deal, Pompey will get a new car park built off Anson Road, as well as an undisclosed seven-figure sum towards future stadium improvements. Contractors will start work on the first phase of the development – creating the new club car park – on November 24. Fans will still be able to access Fratton Park via Anson Road on foot, although this route will be reduced and there will also be restrictions on car parking until the work is complete. The club currently use land behind the Fratton End as a main car park and off Anson Road for additional matchday car parking. How this will affect fans over the next few weeks: - December 13 v Accrington: Main car park open only - December 26 v Wimbledon and January 3 v Tranmere: Anson Road and main car park open - January 17 v Burton: Anson Road car park open only Pompey chief executive Mark Catlin said: “We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused to fans by the works, but in the long run the deal is of great benefit to the club. “We will keep fans informed via the official website and local media as the work progresses.” Read more at http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/news/article/new-car-park-information-2080643.aspx#HITgCdeyIzvaJbok.99

Depends on where you are. If you're an expat then BBC iPlayer and Film-on are worthwhile as well.

Which one?

Do you think anybody with half an ounce of common sense doesn't think if you keep on and on and on spending money that you haven't got, that some day soon austerity isn't going to come a-knocking?

But isn't he ruling out anybody that's more than 10 points below Chelsea? Three-horse race it is, then.

We haven't lost to a top 10 side yet this season

So the underdogs managed to battle their way to a plucky draw. But I can't see them winning the replay, Aldershot will be much too strong for them at home.

It will be much more than 12 years

Except 2008/09 and 2010/11 and 66 would have been enough in 2011/12, which I think is quite near. But otherwise you're dead right, as usual.

Probably while you were reading the last Portugal squad list for the Euro Qualifiers in October.

SONAR Brett can hear things other people can't.

Does anybody remember the old days, when our players got a bit of a rest during the international break?

OSS back to normal this weekend. Just watched the Liverpool Chelsea game on bein11 without a hitch.

No it's a bit more complicated. I do it by SSH from my laptop using PuTTY. You can get the instructions online, but basically you create a tar backup of the /home/pi/.xbmc file, then copy it from the pi to the laptop for safekeeping. Then if you need it you copy the file back to the pi and restore the .xbmc file. Most of the instructions are specific to your particular file/folder/network structure but once you work it out it's quite straightforward. I used this link for guidance.

...and backup. Mine just went belly-up. I'm sure it was my own fault, fiddling about with the external drive while it was still formatted in NTFS. I could see it wasn't happy with the file structure. Luckily I backed it up this morning before I started, so a quick reformat of the SD card then restore the backup and I'll be up and running again in half an hour.

Man City = Fortnum & Mason Chelsea = Harrods West Ham = Anne Summers

XBMC remote control app for your phone?

That's my next project. At the moment I don't store anything. Just stream. Today I bought an external USB HDD so my task for tomorrow will be to hook that up and start downloading and storing locally. The first step will be to format the drive in Linux ext4. That'll take a while it's 2TB. I downloaded and installed that Sportsnation zip earlier. It does appear to work fine but without a premium subscription I can only receive 1 channel and there was nothing on at the time!

There's a bit of history with Pi's and WiFi dongle drivers "out of the box". I can vouch for the TP Link WN725N for use with RaspBMC (but not with Noobs or RetroPie). Cheap as chips too.

Any news on a date for the Football Club AGM?

I can't post a link from here, but try product code N52DV You'll probably want more bits and pieces to go with it. A case - make sure it's a B+ the case for the model B won't fit A power supply (you can use a phone charger) A dongle if you want WiFi A micro SD card A HDMI cable

OK but that's not how I use mine, so I can't really give you an opinion. I get my live football streams from Offside Streams.

RaspBMC. Install it onto a 32GB SDHC card (class10) in a PC/laptop. You can have other OS's on other SD cards and just swap them when you want to. hutch jr. has one with RaspBMC and another one for RetroPie gaming. Run it connected with Ethernet cable first time. Then shut down, pull out the cable and plug in the WiFi dongle and boot it up again.

Good to see he's only got 1.1 dribbles per game. My own total, unfortunately, is far higher.

To be fair to Rickie, lifelong access to the ex-player's lounge on matchdays alone probably made the move worthwhile.
