when they call and ask for whoever, jsut say 'Oh I will go and find them' Put the phone down a keep doing what you are doing go back 5 minutes later and if they are still there do it again. I have never had to do it again. How about a whistle down the mouthpiece lol

Thanks for that. I recall a couple of years back reading that another dodge was that when they want a pen they are able to buy Mont Blanc's etc and put those down as fair expenses, not the Bics most of us would expect them to use, which are just as capable of doing the job.

I dont think anybody of any political persuasion would not find those MP's disgusting. To me it is not just those headline grabbing MP's who need voted out. To think that the Libs /Labour /whoever do not have their own skeltons would be naive. Clegg trying to look like Mother Teresa is nausiating if not very risky as the media are now looking into his past. I think if the MEP's were looked into deeper we would be more up in arms. The practice of charging for airline tickets and then driving back was commonplace at one time. I dont care what political party you support, all of them are robbing from us and we all are working everyday to earn money so they can live a comfy life. Stick up for Clegg or any of the other hypocrites if you wish but I believe the majority are out for themselves and do not care 1 iota for me or you, they are only interesting in power and the trappings that come with it.

As an aside my vehicle that looks as though it is caked in mud , is not, we just happen to have a large amount of volcanic ash that has fallen on my vehicle. On a more serious note the financial implications for all this could not come at a worse time for our economy. Add the thouhght of a hung parliament and the pound could suffer a lot, adding to the woes of anyone stranded.

the Salisbury Lib dem father owns 2 or 3 McDonalds franchises, he calls them restaurants lol I thought the Libs were not very keen on Globalisation

i dont know where you dig these gems up from Gm but it is hilarious reading. I think I can recall this originally being posted and then reading it with despair and wondering where how he could say all that. Patently he was living in a dream world and perhaps under the impression that is how he was running the club.

Has it been clarified when the parachute monies being extended starts?

WS it seems to me that eother vantis or AA have to be brought to account on this. They have misled the court Imo. Sadly the rest of the world dont give a damn and Pompey are taking advantage of that.

i firmly bleieve if this info had been made public initially then the registrar wuld have had no option but kill thme off on the day. Now she has been seen not to do her duty to all the suppliers and the HMRC, I think that Pompey will get away with it. if the CVA ruse does work they definately have got away with it big time.

£90 million owed to unsecured creditors - of which £38 million is due to three previous owners in the form of loans , how convieninet that it puts the HMRC out of blocking the CVA. Highly contensious indeed. Vantis are amazingly quiet Can 1 of the more informed tell me, can the revenue take this back to the High court, as the court was not given the full evidence when the registrar did not wind them up. Owing still on players to money lenders, it gets more and more murkier. It is frustrating

That is such a great post. i recall going to Williams beneifit match and loads of saints fans came and suported his retirement and he didnt even have the decency to turn and applaud the saints fans who had filled his pockets. He is the B'mouth mouthpiece on Solent.

I dont think you have ever called for that, from where i sit i saw somebody sitting back having a few undermining digs and awaiting a chance to stick the knife in from the blind side. Now you have made yourself as clear as anyone could ask, I can now see i was wrong thinking that you were not fully backing AP. Fair criticism is not wrong as long as its's constructive in my book

The talk of PFCtrust FC has gone it seems, and the BSL seems a dsitant prediction. Most seem to believe that they will now be in CCC next season and now await what punishment, in minus points are served up. To me it is not fair punishment. Perhaps we are all waiting for the post cup final actions.

That is a fair position to take, and you have now made your position clear

I have a premonition that Fordy wil be in the away side... Lol. I can see it in the tea leaves. As for people wanting to play 90 inutes I agree they should be made aware how tiring it is on that pitch. I do hope they are youngsters not oldies as my bench is already depleted. Anyway it is a fun night and lets hope both teams compete fairly like last season and we get a close game

Lol, I hope that the gossip my frend had was not current but beofre the JPT success, where i believe things have improved. Their greeting after the game (NC AP ) was very public.

I dont doubt Lowe was in contact with the FL, but top lawyers would also be a top priority as Barclays had pushed us into a corner by reducing the overdraft a second time in 6 months, hence the imminent likely hood of us going into administration. Neither of us will change our opinion on how this proceeded, but i do notice how guarded you are in not coming forward with a full endorsement of AP. Keeping your powder dry for the next couple of bad results you can wheel out Lol.

well contact Granty and get a place. Last season i was a 'Lowe luvvie' Lol and n0o problems at all. In fact our much respected Fos1 came over gave me some friendly stick ,and the banter went on all night and still does. You would no doubt get some banter but who cares, if you give it you have to be prepared to take it. Granty has done well to get this on again this year and I suggest it is a lifetime memory and madness to miss out.

Fos was talking about turning out for us, did he not come forward? He would have been a good recruit to make the night interesting. Can you give an update of the sides then Steve please and their times on the pitch. As it is a fun night and all will enjoy themselves I hope that my depleted squad (as in numbers ) will be able to last.

no you would nt get a kicking DD, although from your manager you might lol Its a great experience and worth every penny IMO and would play instead of manage if I was 10 years younger

Alps , 'a STORY on here ' he told Salz. Ah there is a man who was our saviour Lol. I dont want to go back and go over all the old ground so please do not distort the past to try and get 1 up on SOG. RL did things the correct way legally and was assured by top London Lawyers that the -10 point penalty was not enforceable,due to the way the company was set up. Those top lawyers obviously did not factor in the FL's ability to play with the rules to suit and threaten expulsion or further penalties if we did try.Add to the fact that the legal case would have run and run and we may not have ever got a buyer and so been wound up. At the end of the day we came out in a fantastic shape, I doubt anyone would argue that, but watching the Pompey situation where they seem to have gone about everything the wrong way and against all fair and normal accounting ways. Perhaps we should have done the same and bent every rule in the book. As a worrying aside, i had contact with a friend who is involved in the FL and he said you wont make propmotion this season, but walk it next.....but with a different manager. When pressed he would not say why.

Any updates to a replacement for SotonJoe Steve. I think I am already 1 player short on the subs bench. It is a tiring noight for the players and so having a full compliment would be best for all involved

I havent seen it posted elsewhere but Gary Oneill played for Boro so doesw that mean that Pompey have got the £1m ?

If we take the bait and bite back they will think thye have a meaning to life. Let them call us scummers, let their fans come on here giving us the big one but look at it like the Isle of Man trying to get a rivalry going with England. They will give it the big one but they get crowds less than 5000 k in a good season. As soon as their manager is taken they will drop back again to having a row with Weymouth fans about who is bigger,

They think he will be in the shop window.
