Norwich brouht in a lot of players during the summer, we brought in a lot of players soon after the summer. We should be mirroring them, but we haven't performed as well as them. Nicola Cortese is right to be concerned about our recent drop in form.

The booking fee is a complete joke, but the sort of thing i've come to expect from David Luker. SFC's ticket office used to be good during the Dell days, but since Lukers arrival from Reading there's been a catalogue of c o c k ups and bonkers ideas.

That's good to hear. After all this time i'm gonna be gutted if they don't get shut down.

Pretty obvious it't the attention freak 19C and his Scottish cousin.

That clarifies things a bit but opens another question : can you only buy tickets out of a pre ordained cluster of blocks, i.e choose a to sit in area 132 - 135 or 136 - 139 for e.g? Also to the person who wrote the article it's YOU'RE not YOUR.

I enjoy moaning about the ticket office. You can get ****ed if you think this moany thread is going to stop me.

I'd like to think we'll turn on the style a bit now. Pardew knows we need league results and the players have no other competitions to distract them (the JPT final is booked and a way off). You can't get much tougher than Norwich away, but equally we need to be sending out the message that you can't get much tougher than playing the Saints. We are going to win. 2-1.

I've been offered a place in a box but i'm going to turn it down. It'd mean having to behave and not get wasted. **** that.

Looking at it rationally why would anyone want to buy Pompey. They have nothing going for them. Putting aside the debts they are effectively a Championship club with a crumbling ground and a mediocre fanbase. You'd have to be mad to buy the Skates when there's far better options available.

To be honest i could do without the expense of another FA cup game.

If Poopey was a dog they'd have been put down long ago. This is all dragging on too long. Every day i log on and hope to read they no longer exist. How much longer until everything comes to a head?

Agreed and the fact we don't play each other very often.

Is this going to be a Saints fans only pub?

Sounds good for the last few bevvies before k/o.

The two most centrally located travelodges are now showing less than 5 rooms left for the Sunday night.

The Top 10 Fraudsters of All Time 1. Kenneth Lay (2001) – Another one of the most infamous fraudsters of all time, Lay was largely responsible for the accounting fraud that brought down energy giant, Enron. Lay was convicted of 10 counts of fraud, but died of a heart attack before his sentence began. 2. Bernard Ebbers (2005) – This Bernie may not have run a Ponzi scheme, but through less-than-accurate financial reporting of his telecommunications company, WorldCom, he swindled investors out of $11 billion. 3. Alyn Waage and Michael Webb (2003) –These two Ponzi schemers created the biggest internet fraud of all time with a website coaxing people into investing in prime bank notes. Waage and Web brought in over $60 million through the site before being arrested in 2003. 4. Albert Gonzalez (2008) – A computer hacker that was assisting the Secret Service in catching cyber criminals, Gonzalez decided to use his skills to hack the websites of large retailers, such as TJ Maxx, Barnes & Noble and Sports Authority, stealing over 40 million credit card numbers in the process. Gonzalez’s fraudulent act was the largest case of identity theft in history. 5. Sue Nanda (2009) – The California resident recruited over 300 healthy patients to undergo surgery at the now-defunct Unity Outpatient Surgery Center in Buena Park, Calif. She swindled insurance companies out of $154 million and ended up keeping over $2 million for herself. Due to a plea bargain, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison. 6. Frank Abignale Jr. (1960’s) – Not all fraud is necessarily swindling investors out of money. One of the biggest frauds of all time saw Abignale, a skilled impostor, forging $2.5 million in fake checks across 26 countries. Abignale’s story was depicted in the 2002 film, Catch Me If You Can. 7. Charles Ponzi (1920) – The most infamous form of investor fraud out there is named for the first man to do it, Charles Ponzi. Ponzi was able to con investors into investing money on postage stamps, promising unusually high returns. The investor’s money was never returned, instead just ‘reinvested’ into the stamps, which really meant it was sitting in Ponzi’s bank account. 8. Bernie Madoff (2009) – While Ponzi may have invented the scheme, Madoff perfected it. His investment scam ran from 1960-2009 and was the largest investment fraud ever executed by one person. He utilized fake bank statements, telling investors their returns were growing, when actually they were getting nothing at all. 9. Lou Pearlman (2006) – Pearlman, the talent manager for popular boy bands the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, was another notorious Ponzi schemer. He utilized a fake travel company to swindle $300 million dollars out of investors. 10. James Paul Lewis, Jr. (2004) – One of the longest-running Ponzi schemes in history, Lewis stole $311 million from investors in his company, Financial Advisory Consultants over the course of 20 years. He prayed on churches and church groups until his scheme collapsed and he was arrested in 2004.

I think you may regret this comment.

I wonder what odds i'd get on a Pompey related suicide?

Would be a reasonable bet, but Chelsea and Man City are still there...

I'm afraid that it'll work the same way as the horses as Pompey will be a non runner. As it's a two horse race so to speak all bets will be returned and the book declared void.

You going down at the end of the season is probable, but not inevitable. Bookies gives odds according to probabilities. The fact they've closed the book when relegation isn't certain suggests they know more. They know PFC is about to die. Cheerio it's been nice knowing you.

Who fancies chipping in and getting interflora to deliver a giant wreath from the people of Southampton?

The bookies are seldom wrong.

Ha Ha Ha it just gets better and better.... The Dubai Land Department said he personally owned only one plot of land in the emirate, in Mirdiff, and sold it after the court judgment was issued against him on January 14 last year Translation he owned a shack and a few goats
