It's not my friend!

According to him, he made them millions in the transfer market

Was there a horse racing track on the Common at one point?

Lol - heavy night before? I hate it when a dump spoils something.

Some of what he says is true ie. he did deliver the best football that 99% of their fans will see in their Pompey supporting lives. They did win the cup. It's just his complete whitewash of the idea that there may have been any negative element to his tenure whatsoever that is annoying. He says that they haven't had a decent owner since Mandaric left. Now that may well be true but if he recognised that Gaydamak was not a good owner then why was he complicit in spunking all their cash up the wall! It's all about HR and nothing else. Maybe that's fair enough but it makes his "spiritual home" guff even more nauseating.

I think that's all quite right. I can't see the Ryanair model becoming dominant on longer haul flights though. It would simply be too uncomfortable for most people. I don't mind a crap flight if it's a short flight but if I'm on a plane for 6 hours+ I want some interestingly arranged food and a film!

Fatty boom boom is crying like a little girl now. The Argies are celebrating like they've won the world cup not scraped through qualification.

Lol - completely predictable red card. Made funnier by the player sticking his shirt over his head as soon as he committed the foul and rolling around on the floor for a bit. And the Argies score from the free-kick. El Pati Butcherino looks happy.

Uruguay are looking pretty good. Maradonna looks like a fat old lesbian.

Cracking quality stream. Maradonna looks pretty nervous. Chinese commentary unfortunately!

In the BBC West region. He opened up an all-weather pitch at a school in Yeovil. Some amusing footage of him running about. Quite a gut there at the moment, even by MLT standards! (I am aware that the potential cannonisation of MLT as a role model for our youngsters may cause outrage in some quarters).

I think that pretty much sums it up. Seemed like a nice bloke though so I wish him and his family (cant have been easy for them having to move to Soton on £0 income!) all the best.

Great stuff. The playground (can't think of a better word for it!) area at the Sporty will always be a big childhood memory for me too. Orange or Lemon sparkle from that grotty little hut afterwards!

That's why women shouldn't get involved. It's a man's game.

Thanks for the info, but I don't have it. I've found the quality of certain streaming sites has improved a lot recently and so personlly there's not a lot of sense in subscribing to Sky Sports - I'd just end up watching a load of stuff I'm not really interested in. Obviously it's not the same quality as watching on a nice big tele but I don't think it's £30 per month worse!

And make sure he stays away from St Will if he does insist on shouting instructions.

They've all gone but I'm not sure where... Either: a) they've gone into cracks in the window frame and escaped to freedom; b) they're hidden in the blind somewhere (don't think so); or c) they've gone into cracks in the window frame but these don't lead anywhere and they'll be back tomorrow. If b) or c) then I will need to do something about them tomorrow.

That's a good one for the nostalgia thread actually!

Oh yeah - the docks! I remember when you could walk right up to the docked ships. Not sure which dockgate you went through to get there but it was the one off Millbrook flyover or the one next to the Hovis building I think?

It has been very sunny here for the last few days.

Southern German girls are great. Really friendly and often quite sexy. Met some great ones in Munich. Nudists are nearly always rough though!

Anyone planning on watching this tonight? 11.00pm kick-off BST. I may watch a stream of it on the internet in the hope of being able to laugh at that little turd Maradonna.

Ahh.

lol.
