Scummer

One thing I've never understood about this scheme is how do the players get noticed by league clubs again if they are over in Spain, not playing competitive football?

Yeah but what does he gain by making it sound like they are doing worse than they actually are? Most people's reactions to reading that will be 'bloody hell, 2 points from 8 games? What a crap job Harry is doing.'

They've got more than 2 points from their last 8 league matches, I think they've got 8. They have had 2 points from their last 8 matches, but three of those games were cup ties. So all in all, a strange thing for Harry to say.

It's probably blocked by hair, soap scum etc. Not sure those sink unblocker products will get rid of hair.

Only takes a few minutes, you can probably even do it by hand with no tools.

First thing to do would be to unscrew the u bend under the sink, and see if it's that that's blocked. There'll be water in it, so make sure you put a washing up bowl underneath.

You're right that they've delisted, but they are still a p.l.c as far as I'm aware.

Not on the list of closures: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/07_01_09_store_closures.pdf

Yeah that's about 6ft 3. Height is clearly something we've been missing.

If the club has leaked this info, as seems likely, would they not be liable to face legal action from the players concerned? I'm pretty sure employers aren't allowed to release individual players' salaries into the public domain. Imagine if your boss went round telling people what you earn, would you be happy?

Maybe Watford guaranteed to play him in midfield, not defence...............

Even earlier than that I think. Obviously the next step after they had stopped you going into admin as soon as you are relegated would have been for teams to start doing it just before, when relegation was odds-on. So they brought the deadline right forward, to something like March. Incidentally, we did get our books signed off on a going-concern basis in the end didn't we? It would look a bit odd if the auditors approved that (which basically means we aren't in danger of going out of business in the next accounting period), and then we went into voluntary administration a couple of months later......

He's just asked me why I'm staring at him. What do I say?

Not sure I'd even buy up the shares to be honest. I'd just offer to pay all the debts off in exchange for the club being given to me.

Funny.

Doesn't say a lot for the fantastic football we are playing does it?

Lowe doesn't want to admit failure I think. Not sure we needed a new thread on this though.

The forwards we've brought in on loan so far this season seem to have been worse that what we already have (and that's ignoring our better forwards out on loan). So I'm not all that confident that Jan will be able to pull a rabbit out of his hat.

Pompey have now accepted Spurs' offer: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/7807491.stm

A few times in the past people have mentioned that Nick Holmes could come in as manager. As much as the romantic in me would like to see it, I've always felt that it would be too big a jump to go from the Conference to the Championship. However, with Nigel Clough looking set to join Derby, it will be interesting to see how he gets on. I appreciate Burton are doing better than Salisbury, but without knowing the individual circumstances of each club I don't know whether that is to be expected. Any fans of non league football able to give an informed view?

We haven't got any money to bring players in, so it doesn't really matter to be honest. If we get anyone they'll most likely be loans, and I'm pretty sure there's a loan system after the transfer window closes.

FA cup holders only got 14,000 for their first game in defence of the trophy.

He doesn't actually take over til Monday though.
