Would you mind telling that to Corpse? On second thoughts, I suspect corpses don't like hearing about vultures.

With the fancy upgrades to TSW server last year, we can now insert those small number thingies that go to the low right. Look at this: N2O That alone makes the annual £5 worth every penny.

Don't worry Nick. Once Chinny has his hands on the last parachute payment, it'll be game over for Cheats FC, and the wolves will tear the rotten carcass to shreds. Patience, my friend, patience.

Me too.

Very true. Does that fact just warm the cockles of your heart?

"I don't just expect to be promoted this year, I want us to be champions. When we are promoted to the Premier League I don't want people to think of us as immediate candidates for relegation. I see Southampton as a top-six Premier League club. Would I pay a player £100,000 or even £200,000 a week? Not if we were in the Premier League with a 32,000 capacity stadium. But if we were in the Champions League and had re-developed the ground to 50,000 then I might consider it." Nicola Cortese, 2011

After extensive searching, I have successfully found the following: Not anything, nothing, nonexistence, nullity, zero, nihility, diddly-squat, zip, zilch, nada.

His first name wasn't Corp, and last name Ho, by any chance?

May 1976 aside, surely one of Saints greatest wins ever? Lose (or even draw) and we almost certainly would've gone down.

This.

Oi! You're too quick with that gavel. I'll raise it to 30. If it's good enough for Luton ....

Certainly is....

I loved Buccaneer when I was kid. Brilliant pirate/treasure game. Sadly, long out of production. If anyone has an old one in the attic they'd be willing to sell me ....

Ehrman, Bart D. Forgeries, Lies, Deceptions, and the Writings of the New Testament. Modern Forgeries, Lies, and Deceptions. The Death Sentence of Jesus Christ. "This does not mean, as is now being claimed with alarming regularity, that Jesus never existed. He certainly existed, as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees, based on clear and certain evidence. But as with the vast majority of all persons who lived and died in the first century, he does not appear in the records of the Roman people." http://aheathensday.com/2011/08/bart-d-ehrmans-forged-a-review.html

Not if, but when, surely? Merry Christmas, fellow PTS nutjobs. And I have a feeling it's going to be a very happy new year for almost all of us here (with a few notable exceptions).

Great idea. The "Pompey Death Saga" thread. Started by Fitzhugh Fella, I hope. I eagerly look forward to it (along with the "Pompey Takeover Saga Greatest Hits")

Yes indeed. Possibly it's the realisation (2 years after most of us knew) that his beloved Cheats FC are well and truly f**ked.

Well, while our pantomime villain is certainly good for a barrel of laughs, the not-so-good ship Cheats FC is more than capable of keeping us all entertained and amused all by itself, as it careers into one massive iceberg after another. There's plenty of life (and laughs) in this thread for quite some time, I think. Once the final parachute payment has been extracted by the vultures keeping it on life support, the decrepit, cesspit of a club will finally sink below the waves. And this classic thread will only finally wind down after Cheats FC gets what it deserves ... and we've all finished dancing on its grave.

Poor old Corpse, scraping the bottom of the barrel. Understandable I suppose, considering the impending doom for Cheats FC.

In other words, they are the best seats in the shithole.

I think the CSI creditors (particularly the Lithuanians who lost their pensions and life savings) may have some more colourful words to describe Cheats FC getting proceeds of a sale of CSI's assets. Isn't it about time for Admin Andy to start wearing a ridiculous blue and white chequered hat and carry a bell?

I agree. If only Saints had strengthened in early June we'd be top now, rather than languishing around 17th. Oh.

Certainly better than the 4-0 defeat you predicted.
