Dark Munster

Yes, but don't forget, their squad is "paper thin." Or so the Cheats keep telling us.

Cheats FC: 'We just have to keep fighting for what is rightfully ours.' The cheating, lying bastards continue to have absolutely no shame, don't they? Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, fellow Saints fans. I suspect the opposite of the latter will be the case for the few.

If he returns, will it be the straw that breaks the camel's back? Here's hoping.

This league is as strong as last season.

Getting paid would be their Christmas bonus.

This. Someone remind me to pm holepuncture next time Corpse Whore posts here. I'd love to read holepuncture's response.

In the short term I would say it went in favour of both. But in the longer term* you probably are right. * No longer than the end of this season, hopefully.

Not necessarily. It depends on how many brown envelopes have been exchanging hands.

Only now getting f*cked off about the whole thing, Saint_clark? I've been there ever since Injustice Mann let the Cheats get away with it.

Maybe, if they had balls. So, in a word, no.

Promises, promises.

I hope you're right, I really do. But I think BC is walking a tightrope here: borrow and spend enough to get into the playoffs (or better), but not spend a penny more than necessary. Holding back on playing players for a game or two to see how things pan out is one thing, but getting rid of the better players during the window would be throwing in the towel, which (if they are within a shout of going up) wouldn't make sense considering he's been funding Kitson, Lawrence et. al. so far. That strategy appears to be paying off so far. Cheating, lying bastards.

Don't bet on it. It looks as if the Cheats are sufficiently close to the top six for BC to continue with his gamble.

Horrible, horrible weekend.

Great link, thanks. A hilarious Geordie version of the Cheats Takeover Thread. One Toon poster (1,833 posts, so not a Saints impostor) wrote: "The sooner Portsmouth go out of business the better. This is a club who have cheated a long line of people out of £millions just to win the FA Cup. Delapited old stadium, tiny fanbase and that annoying bell ringer make them the most unpleasant club on this planet (not including 5under1and)." I'm beginning to warm to those Geordies.

I've corrected it for you.

I think the blue phew are going to suffer too.

Hasn't he positioned himself to be one of the creditors (and at the head of the queue of course)?

In essence, yes, although it's a bit more than life support with Kitson, Lawrence, et al.'s wages (an obvious gamble at promotion).

PaigntonPompey appears to be too intelligent to be a skate.

Indeed, that is the rather large fly in the Cheats-FC-getting-liquidated ointment. But if the worst comes to worst and the Cheats do sleaze their way up this season, we can probably count on it being just being a postponement of their inevitable demise, as BC will try to trouser all of the ill-gotten PL gains and then leave your lot high and dry.

Well, I tend to call them cheating, lying bastards, but I must say I do like your way with words.

I can't decide whether Android's & Co.'s report was written on a postcard, or on the back of an envelope. By law, UHY Hacker Young are requested to interview all Pompey directors from the past three years. Android: "So Peter, did you do anything naughty or improper while you were employed by PFC?" Storrieteller: "Who me? Of course not!" Android: "OK, off you go then. Send in the next director, please." From the comments: PaigntonPompey, HarryStotleland 02/12/2010 11:29:27 At last! I am sure Hacker Young and co will lay bare the culpable. That AA and his fearless team will leave no stone unturned and no finger unpointed in their damning report. That they will shine a light into every corner of this maggot-infested crime to find the truth and expose those responsible. That their report will be above reproach and beyond the clutches of crude accusations of impropriety, vested interest and compromise. Either that or it will be quietly filed away and forgotten. PaigntonPompey, HarryStotleland 02/12/2010 11:42:18 More esoterically, what punishment can be given to those responsible but who do not exist? A hypothetical dressing-down? Come on, admit it, who's "PaigntonPompey"? And you wanted to write "maggot-infested club" but decided against that to avoid having your comment removed, right?
