Dark Munster

However, it is understood Pompey are not paying the ex-Bolton and Manchester City man as the impasse continues. Business as usual for the Cheats.

As we found out, the FL can make up rules at any time to suit their purposes. So a massive points deduction is possible if the Cheats weasel their way out of servicing the CVA, despite any fine print in it. But then again, they do have a track record of getting away with murder. Cheating, lying bastards.

But they do have Tal Ben-Haim.

In fairness, "progress" could be interpreted in many different ways. For example, if a serial killer reforms himself, and is now content with rape, pillage, and only the odd killing, wouldn't that be considered progress?

So given the choice of 2nd or 15th, you'd choose 15th?

The FA head of "integrity", no less, jumping ship to join the club with the least integrity in English football history. I still haven't heard anyone come up with any sort of rational explanation, other than involving very thick brown envelopes.

I agree that HMRC's QC was incompetent (he should've focused on the Android's extremely dodgy inflation of unsecured creditor debt, to push HMRC below 25%). But I still mainly blame Injustices Mann and Whatshername (who let them continue trading insolvently).

Probably not. The odds of it happening are 1 in 620,448,401,733,239,439,360,000 (About the same odds as Cheats FC finishing first).

This.

As I keep saying, Luggy's record was not bad (1.23 points per game). Gray and Wigley were a hundred times worse! And don't get me started on the two Dutch clowns.

£10 million + 30% sell-on + Owen + Hargreaves?

... Chris Nicholl was sacked, replaced by the football genius Br*nf**t. Saints only had 3 managers in previous 36 years before Nicholl's sacking, but since then they've sacked and hired God knows how many managers over the last 20 years. A lot of fans were happy to see him go, but I thought he did a pretty decent job, and we had a bloody exciting team under him (albeit with a very dodgy defence).

Provided, of course, Mack's mate Injustice Mann isn't going to preside over proceedings again.

Thank you, you've listed 11 of the 12 reasons why I detest Saggy. (no. 12 was the thumbs up he gave to Mad Milan after the Krap Nottarf fiasco.)

A cement boot party, with Lumpitt and Stevie C. as guests of honour?

And the icing on the cake is that he was persuaded by Lumpitt and Stevie-boy to fund an expensively assembled "quality over quantity" squad to make a swift return to the PL. Talk about about throwing good* money after bad. * (well, dodgy maybe)

His Dad certainly didn't.

Saints are making a mistake. They're asking too much.

Yes, the Canucks looked great, and poor Niemi let in 7, but he didn't get much help from his defence (just like when he played for Saints under Saggy ).

Is that Injustice Mann? If so

Hopefully he won't stop Canucks progressing to the Stanley Cup final.

Found him .....

This. And if we don't go up automatically, then beating Billy the Bastard in the playoffs would be most satisfying.
