Guided Missile

I think it's likely that was provided by a convicted fraudster. This time it is likely to be from an accountant that gives a sh! t about his reputation...

I think it's more likely I read my copy of the Times more carefully than you did, Len: "The knock on effect would be felt right down the pyramid and an extra club could move up from each division." This appears in the paper edition, but not in the online article, cheapskates like you read....

Should Pompey cease to exist, it will mean that 4 teams will be promoted from our division. Given this fact, we may be closer to the playoffs than people think.

The term statement of affairs is also used to describe a type of balance sheet that shows immediate liquidation amounts, as opposed to acquisition or original costs, and is generally prepared when insolvency or bankruptcy is about to take effect.

Time they were put in their plaice. For too long, they have floundered around at the bottom of the Premiership. Now is the time to dab the tears away and wave goodbye. Seriously, what's the porpoise in carrying on? They're just flogging a dead horse...mackerel.

Were you there? They were facing us and did nothing to protect us or our players, either in the ground or outside...

Remembering the Derby game, at Pride Park, the OB were happy to let their fans invade the pitch and spent most of their overtime preventing the travelling Saints fans from doing the same. After 15 minutes of goading us, their fans were then allowed to dance off the pitch without a banning order in sight, whilst we were applauding both our players and their fans. Pleas God, allow us our 15 minutes of goading and celebrating, should we beat Pompey, preferably by going on the pitch, as nature intended. Markus waving a handful of Swiss francs wouldn't go amiss, either...

Yoda? More like Jabba the Hutt as this photo taken at an industrial unit at Horton Heath will confirm:

Dan Williams, aka HelpMeRhonda: I remember he was buying Blackburn Rovers, before he zeroed in on Saints...

...from the position we are in now, I can't help chuckling at the collection of complete nutters we attracted, when the administrators were called in. Christ, didn't we luck out with Markus? From the vantage point we now occupy, it is hilarious remembering the hall of shame and those that gave them a second of our time. How many can supress a laugh when faced with this lot? I wonder if any of this lot or any of the other characters, will resurface as Pompey go down the toilet? My bets are on Dan Williams followed closely by Marc "Monkey-Chicken" Jackson... I pray Help Me Rhonda is their spokesperson...

This one...

Yeah, I did. Have you ever been torn between the two phrases, "Lighten the mood" and "Rub Salt in the Wounds"?

Fantastic post, pancake. I took the liberty of posting it on the Pompey website. I'm sure they'll see the funny side...

The website is back up for the going out of business sale. Click here for a bargain.

Am I the only one that gets slightly aroused by this photo...?

Yeah, the man that got Michael Fialka an interview...

My feeling is that we should avoid risking herpes and swine flu, by selling the Pompey fans 10,000 tickets at a tenner a pop, segregate them outside the ground in a caged area, with a couple large screens, showing the match live and then keep them in, for a couple of hours after the game, hopefully during which time there will be a hailstorm. The club should then provide us with 20-30 wheelbarrows full of stones, which we will hurl at them, as we walk past. I always say that you should always try to repay someone's hospitality...

I'm taking a wild guess that he got his f*** ing money via his father's position as the fanatical leader of a terrorist state. Pretty similar to the position you were in, when Gaydamak Jr. laundered his father's money, made from illegally selling arms. Like I said, flies on a turd...and it sounds like you and your mentally challenged brethren have got used to the smell.

This about sums up the value set, in some f*** !ng football fans, because, I, for one, would not be hoping that the son of a terrorist dictator who killed 270 people in Lockerbie, was taking over my football club. That type of moral compass, is what has saddled you lot, with one piece of sh !t owner after the other. Like flies on a dog turd...

hmbatdajfu=he might be able to do a job for us Now, back to the Times crossword...

An individual's contribution to society and their value therein, can't be measured by a broad generalisation of their current occupation, nor the cost to the public purse of maintaining that group. Using this criteria is often a lazy way of reinforcing personal predujices, thereby providing some self-worth to the person making the generalisation. It is a hard thing in life to celebrate the diversity in our society and the acknowledgement of the value of those other individual's contribution to our own life. Very often, the first step is to accept our own shortcomings, rather than seeking to voice the shortcomings of others. All I do know is that the persuit of education, in all it's forms, is the future of our nation. The persuit of foreign wars, in all their forms, is probably not...

This assumes that their competition will be happy for them to be given an unfair advantage, in not having to pay tax and VAT, like every other club in the division, which enables them to pay the inflated wages they are required to, so that players will turn out for them. If they stay up, there will be a lawsuit, f'sure...

A clue on whether Gaydamak Jr. will insist on getting his loans repaid, from an online news source: Russian-Israeli billionaire Arcadi Gaydamak cannot pay a $3m (£1.86m) bond intended to guarantee his appearance before a Tel Aviv court on charges of money laundering due to "cash flow problems", his lawyers have said. The businessman, who is currently in Russia, is alleged to have helped launder 650 million new shekels (£106m) through a subsidiary of Israel's Bank Hapolaim. He posted a $4m bond prior to his indictment and was due to post an additional $3.5m on November 23. Some $2.1m held in his accounts was to count towards the bond, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports. On the deadline, Gaydamak successfully appealed for a month's extension to pay the balance. However, in a letter to Tel Aviv District Court, his lawyers said the businessman's foreign currency accounts in Russia have been frozen, leaving him unable to deposit the money on time. "Until now, [Gaydamak] has tried incessantly to raise the bond money in time but in vain," the letter said.

Any money that Pompey receive or are to receive from their "owner" will come, directly or indirectly, from Arkadi Gaydamak, which should be obvious to even the Premier League. If they are happy for Pompey to pay their debts with funds derived from criminal activities, then fair enough. My guess is that enough is enough. They will check the veracity of Pompey's latest story, reject the appeal and re-distribute the money directly to ensure that the £7M isn't grabbed by the Russian crook... Anyone that sells death is hardly likely to give a sh !t about the Premier League. He doesn't give a sh !t about French or Israeli courts, FFS...
