club had run out of dosh, couldn't afford to pay the wages, told the players and press that it would be liquidated if wages weren't deferred. fans then started picketing the training ground demanding the players surrender their claims to the owed money. tsw joins a new (he claims 'big') club in the same league (which is why i think it's kitson, who moved the sheff utd) and during the match receives the worst abuse he's ever experienced from his former club. the chairman of his old club at one point stood and joined in with the offensive chanting. this was witnessed by tsw's new chairman who relayed the info back to him. tsw was so incensed with this that he got his lawyer to instruct old club that he will not defer his owed wages and news of the chairman's behaviour will be on the back pages of the papers in the morn. eventually old chairman agrees to pay tsw in full, provided he keeps the story out of the press. tsw claims that the club behaved dishonestly when they begged for donations and claimed to be totally broke- 'clearly... was bull****'.

if you believe that the guardian's secret footballer is dave kitson, the first para of his new book is pretty interesting. even if you don't think it's him, it's almost certainly about pompey.

Also strange that Osvaldo ran off the pitch the second the whistle went.

I haven't seen us win for years, Sunday's loss will be my fault.

Steve de Ridder has a pop at English football culture

"However, De Ridder surged down the right flank, turned Peter Ramage inside out and drove in a cross for do Prado to grab the opening goal." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_1/16240746.stm -

strange how fans opinions can differ, i thought they were exactly the same.

reminds me of this pearl of wisdom from dion dublin: 'If you don't lay your foundations correctly then things will crumble from under your feet. There's no way you can be successful without blood, sweat and tears. You have to put the hours in and build collectively and above board.' insightful stuff. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2380821/Dion-Dublin-Footballers-Football-Column-I-angry-I-talk-Coventry--badly-run-club.html#ixzz2ccUJj7Os

did anybody hear about the amateur rugby player in hants? he dislocated his thigh during a hefty tackle. while writhing on the floor in pain the thing relocated, only one of his testicles had slipped into the gap. apparently the bang was louder than a shotgun.
-
who is the chap on the far left?
-
shouldn't he be injured?
-
sign him up!
-
only caught the last 10 mins of the first half but i thought he looked the most likely to score.

has anybody else noticed how quiet it is? even the itk chaps don't seem to have any nuggets of info. personally, and i could be alone in this, i think we could still do with a winger and a striker (the latter doesn't need to cost 20 million as long as they provide a bit of competition). ho hum.
